Halloween at the Breyer’s

The fall is racing by. Halloween was a lot of fun although we were missing three kids for the annual Halloween photo. (Picture below) I’m not sure if Zev even dressed up but I do remember when he was younger and, 一年, he dressed up as a gang member. 他的一个朋友告诉他，一个敌对的帮派成员可能会在万圣节的晚上看到他，并开枪打死他. Being that he was about ten years old he was nervous to wear his costume outside. Zev will be home in December so we are excited winter break is coming up. Editor’s Note from Mark: First, I wonder if that was the same year Zev went out with a friend who dressed like a lawyer? If so, Zev had nothing to worry about…the lawyer-look-alike was in far more danger of getting shot! 第二个, 亚历克西斯告诉泽夫，如果他的成绩不好，有一天她会去他的兄弟会会所, 未经宣布的. Zev said he didn’t care. Maybe not, but it may be more than a coincidence that his grades may be his best yet. Maybe Alexis should have threatened to jump into Zev’s social life earlier in his academic career?

Kailey attended her first makeup certification course. 她很兴奋，已经打电话问我们她如何能开始自己的产品线，成立自己的公司. There is no stopping this child. When she first got into USC, 她跟我们开玩笑说，她以为自己是误录取的，因为很多被南加州大学录取的孩子都有完美的SAT成绩和/或完美的4分.0的绩点. (Although Kailey’s scores were very good, 也). 好吧, 她给我们发了一条短信，说她数学期中考试得了a，所以我们为她感到兴奋，对她真的被录取感到放心! Editor’s Note from Mark: Kailey is out of her mind, mostly in a good way. She has been a budding entrepreneur with make-up 对于一个 while. She has been getting paid – before college and in college – to do make-up. 现在, however, she found one of the big names in make-up putting on a professional 4-day course. Understand, Kailey is already busy beyond belief. 现在, 除了, 为了增加自己的知识，她连续去了4天的课程，想要学习商业的终结, 也. Not sure when the kid sleeps, but that is Kailey.

Tate is finishing up his season of club volleyball. 他在和朋友玩“钉球”时伤了手和脚，不得不错过了一场锦标赛，这让马克很失望，因为他真的很期待看到他打球. It’s always fun to watch Tate rally his team together. 实际上，教练在万圣节之前进行了练习，所以Tate没有去玩“恶作剧”——至少他是这样告诉我们的! He did end up giving out candy with a friend though. Editor’s Note from Mark: Not sure what is going on with the Breyer boys, but Tate is also having his best academic quarter since about 4th grade. 当然，这可能是把车开走的所有威胁——毕竟车是一个强大的工具!

Ariella dressed up as a ninja for Halloween and coupled up with Cade who was also a ninja. 我们为Ariella感到非常骄傲，因为她参加了8年级的拉拉队选拔，并成功入选! When she said to us to “wish me luck” we joked with her that she would need a lot of luck. 她在我们面前练习，马克不停地告诉她他是如何看所有的足球比赛，拉拉队是如何大声地微笑. 他让阿瑞拉在镜子前练习如何让她微笑，他和她一起欢呼，告诉她应该多大声. Being loud is not a problem for Mark! Editor’s Note from Mark: 好吧,好吧. Let me just explain a couple of important points. First, it is true we told Ariella she would need a lot of luck. 然而, that sounds terrible, 因此，值得指出的是，许多参加中学拉拉队的女孩一直在做体操或参加竞技拉拉队. Ariella has never done any of that, except for maybe some things when she was about 6 years old. 她加入这个团队证明了她愿意尝试，尽管她缺乏经验. There may be other kids who wanted to try out but simply were afraid due to a lack of experience. 第二个, I have no ability to coach Ariella in cheerleading. She made it with her own efforts, of course.

塔利亚有一套50年代的漂亮戏服和一件可爱的红色连衣裙，但她决定不喜欢那套戏服，所以做了一套蝴蝶的新戏服. 她和她的朋友们一起去玩“不给糖就捣蛋”这对我和马克来说是似曾相识的因为她和凯莉上中学的时候和她的朋友们一起去玩“不给糖就捣蛋”. Talia tried out for her middle school soccer team and will be on the team. I think she last played soccer when she was 7. She said she was going to have her friend teach her all the rules. We are excited for her to be part of a team sport. Editor’s Note from Mark: So, 事情是这样的:如果你很长一段时间没有踢足球(或者从来没有踢过)，那么你可能会跛行. This is my first take-away from Talia playing soccer. After her first day with the team, she was limping 对于一个bout two days. She managed to still go to the first tryouts/practices. Not sure how, considering the effort it took her to get up and down the stairs.

Pierce didn’t want to go trick-or-treating at all. 我们和他开玩笑说，让他和我们一起去，玩他每年都会玩的“不给糖就捣蛋”的传统，玩大约一个街区. Since he was little he only would go about one block and then say he wanted to go home. This year, Pierce sported a Michigan State jersey. 他知道课间吃花生酱杯是我的最爱所以每次他得到一个，他都会送给我. While watching football with me, he recently told me he was going to be a great husband. I asked him why he said that and he said that, “I am helpful, kind, respectful and caring.” Yes, he is all these things. I thought his comments were insightful 对于一个n 11 year old. When he called a pass “beautiful” I thought he must be learning more from Mark than we know! Editor’s Note from Mark: You have to give credit to Pierce. Most kids his age have to follow others. Even if they did not want to trick-or-treat for hours, they would probably do it to fit in. 不是皮尔斯. He knows he doesn’t want to walk around just to get candy he doesn’t care about that much. This year, in particular, because he wanted to get home to watch football.

Karina somehow managed during Halloween to be out at the end of the night with just me and Mark! The boys went home with my parents and Ariella was with her friend. 当我们在外面的时候，我们谈论当父母不在，青少年独自在家时会发生什么. 卡琳娜说, “青少年会把这个地方弄得一团糟，因为这是一个派对，他们失控了，没有人在那里告诉他们该做什么，所以他们会疯掉.“我觉得她的看法很有见地，也提醒了我，为什么我们出远门的时候，即使我最大的孩子在家，我也要请保姆在家里过夜! Karina写了她自己的书，里面有完整的故事情节和图片，都是她自己在电脑上写的，这很了不起. You may see her soon as a famous author. Editor’s Note from Mark: First, I am hoping we can trust the college kids to not throw a party. I mean, that fear has to go away at some age, right? 第二个, Karina writes detailed books with plots and everything. At parent-teacher conferences her teacher talked about her writing. 当其他孩子都在看电视或上网玩的时候，卡琳娜有时会在写一本书.

Cade and the kids were playing a game where you had to answer questions. Cade’s question was what he should be when he grows up. He said not a lawyer because lawyers are boring. He said either a football player or basketball player. He said the best part of being a football player is he could be rich, 提高足球, 成为名人. Cade was upset that he couldn’t keep all his candy for Halloween. Mark told him there is a “candy tax” in our family. Cade is already looking forward to next Halloween. He says he wants to dress up as Darth Vader. 我告诉他，他必须开始赚钱来支付他的服装，并教他如何洗衣服. 他刚洗完第一堆衣服，就转向我说:“我的钱呢??” Editor’s Note from Mark: 当然 there is a candy tax. Why should kids get to eat all the candy? We have to walk just as far as they do, we should get our cut! And Cade and I need to have a quick talk before next Halloween. It is not nice to walk up to people and say what he said at many homes this year: “Trick or treat, 闻我的脚, give me something good to eat.” Seriously, who taught him that in kindergarten?!

疯狂的粉丝

Shout out to Susan, one of our clients, who delivered to our team these delicious donuts. We are so appreciative. They were gone within a few minutes. 谢谢你！!

每月的前10名

1. Our team went to and supported a Project Walk Fundraiser.
2. We are helping to prepare a great event promoting motorcycle safety called, “Riding For the Long Haul.” Events like these take lots of late night meetings.
3. Our team was at Cyclovia educating cyclists 在他们的权利. Cyclovia is an event where the streets become car free.
4. We settled a case for policy limits where our client was shot by accident by a friend. The friend took responsibility and admitted fault. More often than not this never happens. It was our reputation for not backing down that allowed us to obtain policy limits. The client was so grateful.
5. We held a free breakfast for Veterans at Scottsdale Harley Davidson. The event was amazing with entertainment, MC, and Mark speaking.
6. Mark was featured on Channel 3 with some motorcycle friends in the community.
7. We had our annual movie event where we showed Elf. We had almost 300 RSVPs. Look for the event next year – free games, popcorn and movie.
8. Last month our team members arranged a pot luck lunch – 80’s theme – for Halloween. Some of the team members came in over the weekend to decorate.
9. We took our kids to see Troll. 因为我们几乎总是在周末工作，而且好几年都没有带孩子去看电影了，所以它进入了我们的前十名. Mark was tired and fell asleep…due to those new comfortable reclining chairs… cute movie!
10. 我们有一个客户遇到了一场严重的事故，在事故发生前，他做了很多背部手术，在事故发生前，他刚刚做了一个膝盖手术. While discussing his case and the offers that came back, 他告诉亚历克西斯，他看了我们通讯里的前十名，知道我们如何经常得到政策限制. At the time, the offer extended was less than half of the policy limits. Alexis told the client to continue to be patient and have trust. 过了好几个月，当我告诉客户我们拿到了保单限额时，我感到非常兴奋. 当然, 案例情况各不相同，但我们的评估通常是准确的，否则我们会建议进行诉讼.
