at Thais and Lenin’s.

I laughed when I heard several of the boys say the mashed potatoes (my contribution) was a favorite. Amazing what butter, cream cheese, and sour cream can do to a simple potato. And Thais make the best BLT salad – everything from scratch.

I picked up Carson and Avery after school and later took Avery to his piano lesson.

The San Joaquin sectional finals were at Cosumnes River College. Christian Brothers played Vacaville HS.

Sadly, Christian Brothers lost.

Christian Brothers beat Del Oro High School Tuesday night in 3 sets.

While Carson (far left) went trick-or-treating with Zane and Hudson,

and Avery went to a party/trick-or-treating with friends,

Thais, Lenin, and I went to Sophia’s playoff game. Christian Brothers beat Rio Americano High School.

I hope Halloween was a big treat for all of you!

As soon as Thais got home, Carson asked if he could practice casting into the swimming pool. He did a really good job.

Recently, Avery learned to fish, then caught his first (and second) trout at Old Greenwood.

Playoffs: Christian Brothers beat Armijo High School from Fairfield on Tuesday night.

While Avery played in the playoffs at Jesuit, Carson played in the playoffs at Christian Brothers.

Last home game of the season.

CB won. On to the playoffs.

Carson at Christian Brothers scoring a touchdown.

Carson thought I would enjoy reading the book his 3rd grade class just finished. Excellent recommendation.

Sunday evening, we got together to celebrate Avery’s 13th birthday.

Leo is a freshman at Jesuit, Lauren is a freshman at University of Nevada Reno, Brooklyn is in 2nd grade at St Francis of Assisi.
