The Almer Family Experiance

arrrghhh!!! a pirate.it's a bird, it's a plane, ...it's superman!!
Calista, tink (neighbor friends), and Caden preparing for a long night of trick-or-treating.


Nice Calista!

Hello All!!! Well, we actually have a day off to update you on our current life...so here it goes. 1st: The kids:
The kids are doing really well in school and sports. As for school, Calista just made honor roll, 4th grade is the 1st time you can get honor roll status, so we are very happy with her hard work and effort. Caden received good marks across the board as well and we are happy as can be with his extra efforts to improve on his reading. They just finished regular soccer season of which they both played on the all-stars teams. They both just moved up a level in gymnastics (just below competitive status) and are doing great! Calista also just completed another winterball season of softball. Her team did amazingly well for having 2 league age 7, and 10 league age 8&9 yr age girls on their 10U team. We overheard many other teams complaining about losing games to the "little girls" on the other team. The kids were able to join Matt and I this summer to see a few music concerts,too, including Rush, Def Leppard, Sticks, and Foreigner. (We left them at home for Van Halen...heheh).

As For the future:


Both of the kids were invited to play on indoor select soccer teams this winter that should begin in December. Calista has a second try-out for the Foothill girls ASA softball team on December 15th. Caden gets to participate in the Placerville Christmas parade on Dec.2 with his cub scout troop. The boys will be dressed as "Who's" from the Grinch, and riding on a float down Main St. Placerville. Caden has almost completed his Wolf and is very excited to move on to become a Bear cub scout.

2nd The Parents:

We are doing great. We are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary on Nov.29th. Between work and ushering kids around to sports Matt couldn't be more busy. At Calista's end of the season team party for softball Matt was honored with a new grill, a gilling utencil set, and an apron because he facillitated the team BBQ/ grill at every game day (double headers which lasted over 5 hours). I am teaching 9-10 aerobic/water/and sculpting classes a week at the sports club followed by working at the pharmacy. I was also able to be the assistant coach on Calista's all-star soccer team, and line coach for Caden's all-star soccer team, which I really enjoyed, a lot!
