I got a loose tooth!!!

Check it out! I was eating a popsicle and I bit down on the stick and then my tooth got all loose! It's kind of hard to tell but it's the one on the bottom, close to the middle.


I was so excited that my tooth was getting loose that I begged my daddy to take me to the store so that we could get apples. Everyone in my class said that that's what you're supposed to do when you get a loose tooth... you get apples.


Everyone said that you bite down on the apple and BAM your tooth pops out. You know what? THEY LIED! You know what really happens? It hurts... really bad. Now I'm mad. Would you please put the camera away Dad?!?!?!


OK, fast forward a few days. It kept getting looser and looser until finally my mommy couldn't stand it any longer. She reached in there, grabbed my tooth, and yanked it right out of my head! Can you believe that?!?! I'm so stoked. I called my grandparents and my best friends to let them know! I took the tooth to school for show and tell. It was my sharing day. My whole class was happy for me. Now to cash in. I've gotta get to bed so that the tooth fairy can hook me up.

Good night!

Hanging out with the Grandpa and Grandma Sebastopol

Hi everyone! It's me, Malachi. Here we are in Grandpa and Grandma's yard. We're planting a few things. See that tee pee? That's gonna be a Green Bean tee pee. And behind it? That's gonna be a Sunflower house!


Grandpa even put in a water pump so that we could water our garden! It's kind of hard at first, but you get the hang of it. It's pretty messy but's it's WAY FUN!!! I got tired of pumping it but I convinced Obadiah that it was totally fun, so he's doing all the work for me.


Here is me and grandpa. People say that we look like each other. I'm not seeing it guys.

By the way, what on earth is all over my face? And somebody please tell my mommy to cut my hair. Is it me or is my head just HUGE? It's got it's own atmosphere... It's a virtual planetoid.


OK, back to planting. Obadiah had a little stick dealy that he would use to dig a little hole. Then Grandman gave him a seed to put in there. We planted Morning Glorys with the Sunflowers so that when the Sunflowers get big and tall we can tie strings across the top and then the Morning Glorys will go across the strings and make the roof of the house!

We'll keep you posted on the progress! Malachi... out!

Birthday Time!!!

It's my birthday, it's my birthday, gonna partay like it's my birthday!!! Oh yeah baby!!! It's my birthday. Let the celebrations commence!!!

This... is how every day should start! With gifts!!! Mommy and Daddy got me a keyboard! I told my Daddy that I wanted a keyboard because he plays the keyboard really good. And I want to be like him.


PARTY TIME!!! I got a few of my closest friends together for a little soiree at the local roller rink. Nothing says party like shoot the duck, hokey pokey, and red light, green light. They even had the whole roller rink sing happy birthday to me!


Here are all the friends I told you about. They sure enjoyed all that frosting. We didn't really dig on the cupcakes, but that frosting was killer.


Then it was time for the gifts. The crazy thing is that it was about the same time that the sugar rush started kicking in. Look at it! It's like a mob scene. "STAND BACK people it's my birthday and I'm gonna open my gifts!!!"

I got some really great stuff and I had a great day! I've got some of the best friends in the world! Thanks you guys for making my birthday so special. I love you guys!!!

oh my goodness...

Where has the time gone?!?!? Well we haven't been around these parts in a long long time.

We've been real busy. We'll give you a little update. First of all, the reason we haven't been posting our pictures; During the winter it's cold outside and that makes my dad grumpy. So he doesn't take many pictures of us. We're working on him. Also, we've been so busy with school, and church, and showing mommy and daddy how to work the remote control, that we hardly ever have time to sit down at the computer to put these pictures up for all of our friends and family to see.

Well, as you can see the sun has come out and it's been pretty warm out for the last few days so hopefully we'll be able to post here more often.

We love you!!! Obadiah & Malachi

Ahoy me maties, and shiver me timbers!!!





Some guy with a ghost mask jumped out of the bushes and scared the bu-gee-gees out of us!!! We went to this one house that had set up a roulette table. You were supposed to put a piece of your candy on the numbers and then you would win more candy right? WRONG!!! That dude rolled the rolled the wrong number and then he took our candy away. Can you believe that? We actually walked away from a house with LESS candy than when we walked up to it!!! Other than that it was a pretty cool night.

Hi everyone!!!

Hi you guys. We've been super busy and it's been a long time since we updated you on what we've been up to so we wanted to share some pictures and video with you. First I wanted to update you on school. I LOVE IT!!!!
It's been so fun and I'm making new friends all the time.

Here's me and my buddy Nicholas goofing around at the cafeteria!

That was a special day. We went on a field trip to pick out pumpkins!

I was also the "Star Person" for the week! That means that I got to be in the front of the line wherever we went! I had a really good time being the star person!

We also got to go on a hayride! It was lots of fun! Then I found the perfect pumpkin! Do you like it?!?

Malachi got to come with me because it was a special field trip day. He freaked out Daddy though. He got on the hayride with a bunch of kids from another school when Daddy wasn't looking. Daddy kept calling out, "MALACHI!!!" Then when we looked everywhere and couldn't find him, Daddy full on FREAKED OUT!!!
Daddy was about to call in the authorities when the hayride came back around and there was Malachi, happy as could be, sitting right on the back of the hayride. BUSTED!!!

Here's me and Nick being goofy again!!!


After the field trip we went back to the school and learned some new stuff for a while. My daddy video taped us singing the months of the year in Spanish! Click on the video to hear us sing!!!

After a long week at school we needed some time off. So we went to the Boardwalk at Santa Cruz!!!

This was the only roller coaster that we could all go on together. Malachi and me can't ride all the rides yet. We're too short. But this one was pretty fun!

This ride was pretty fun too! We had a control stick that we could pull on and it would make this plane go SO HIGH in the air!

This ride jerked us up and down so fast! Malachi got freaked out, but me and dad were laughing our booties off!!!

After we rode the rides for a while we went down to the beach. There were seagulls and pelicans and jellyfish, and we even saw a few sea lions!!! But there was one thing we liked the best! We would run up to the edge of the water and wait for a wave to come crashing down then we would run as fast as we could to get away from the water. It didn't always work. Malachi kept falling into the ocean!!! I fell down a few times too. We got so cold and wet! But it was so fun!!!

We always have a great time hanging out and loving on each other!

We decided to wait until the sun set before we went home. It was really pretty.

We had a great weekend!

first day of school!

Check out my new threads! I got some new clothes so that I would look extra cool for when I start school! Today is the first day of Kindergarten! I've been waiting for this day for SO LONG! For the last couple of weeks I would tell my Mom and Dad that I wish summer was over so I could start school!

Wel, I've gotta run. School starts in a few minutes so I better get going. I've got to walk to school now. My school is pretty close. I think I can walk on my own. But Mom says no way until I'm a lot older. It's fun to walk with my Mom and Dad, so I guess that's OK.

Gotta run. Wish me luck!

Raceday!!!

We got to go to the races today! We were so excited ever since we watched that movie Cars! We got to see some real race cars up close. Our Daddy has a cousin that works on the race cars and he got us into the race and right down to pit row! Here is his car. They just lifted the body right off of the motor!

Pit row is right next to the drag strip so we could look through the fence to see the different cars and motorcycles racing. By the way, this picture is brought to you by Coca-Cola.

It was so loud we couldn't even believe it! You could feel your lungs shaking! We had these nifty little earplugs to keep our ears safe. They felt kind of weird though, we didn't like them.

While they were working on the car to get it ready we watched the pro stock motorcycle races. They said that the weather was perfect for racing and they broke a few records today! You can click on the video to see how fast they were going!

After the motorcycle races they put the car together and headed for the track. They took third place and they went over 250 miles an hour! It was SO COOL!

no more training wheels!!!

FUN at Papa and Grannys!

Hi guys, it's me Obadiah. My daddy took me and my little brother Malachi over to visit our Papa and Granny! We were so excited when we got there and Granny told us that she had Blackberries in her back yard! Daddy thought she was talking about a cell phone, what a silly goose!

Papa showed us how to reach way in the back to get the really good ones. They were so sweet.

You gotta make sure you get the black ones, NOT the green ones. Look at Malachi's face... see what I mean? He kept eating the green ones!

Here we are. we just sat there for a while and watched the birds fly by. We had a great time hanging out with Papa and Granny!

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone!!! Easter is almost as good as Christmas! We get up early and get to open presents!!!

I love opening presents! I'm pretty sure I've already destroyed everything that came in this bucket. These plastic toys they're making these days sure are chinsy!

My big brother Obadiah got some foam missiles in his basket. I'm not sure what the significance of foam missiles is in relation to the resurrection of our Savior? Other than maybe that Obadiah was trying to crucify me with them. Those things hurt!

Another thing that is awesome about Easter is that you eat candy from the moment you get up until you quietly pass into a sugar coma! This is me eating the first of many "sacrificial peeps".

Easter is a LONG DAY!!! You need all the sugar to give you energy to make it through!!!

it's supposed to be spring time!!!!

What do you do when you're feeling down because it has rained enough to break 100 year old records???

You go for a walk in the park with Grandpa!!! Of course!!! But what if it's raining, won't you get wet???

WHO CARES!!!

That seems like the perfect thing to do right?


What do you do when you're feeling down because you've gotten soaked on a 3 mile walk in the rain???

GET ICE CREAM!!!

Why didn't we think of this earlier?!?!?

What a great idea! Thanks Grandpa Albert!

"Who me? No, I'm not cold."
