Baby Ballerina

So hard to believe that Aubrey is now old enough for the tiny tot tap and ballet with Ms. Paula...She enjoyed dancing and she listened pretty good to her teacher....a couple of times she would look at me with a frown on her face, but she only needed a thumbs up and "your doing good honey" and she would continue on!

Makayla's First Soccer Game....EVER

BEFORE


AFTER

She ran her little heart out and worked up a serious sweat! We were so proud of her for trying something new...she even kicked the ball a couple of times! Go Makayla!!!!!!


Good Kick!




Of course it helps to be playing against one of your best friends...Natalie Mocabee

"Super Citizen"

SUPER CITIZENS is an honor that is given to students who are good listeners, follow the rules, do a good deed, or perhaps give an extra effort throughout the day....So proud of you Makayla!!!

Sunglasses

On our way to pick up Makayla from school...

Penny

Just thought I should document this....

Aubrey: Oh look a penny!

Me: Put it back Aubrey I need it to close the game (walking towards laundry room).

Aubrey: (HUGE gagging sound)

Me: Aubrey?! Are you OK?

Aubrey: (BIG watery eyes) I swallowed a penny...it's OK Mom."

Not exactly the way I had envisioned our morning...
enough said....

Aubrey's 1st Day of Preschool

She was all smiles with her lunch box and "Toto"


Her first little school shoes...


Such a sweet little smile....she was so excited for her first day!


Walking towards her class like a big girl!


Aubrey with her teacher Ms. Kat



Proud Daddy & Mommy....we just can't believe that she is starting preschool already...sigh...



And of course a picture with big sister....last year when Makayla went to Foothill Christian all 3 of us dropped her off....this year all 3 of us came to pick up Aubrey...such a difference now that Makayla is in kindergarten!

Bouncing Girl

We finally aired up this ball from her birthday....she looks pretty darn cute, don't ya think?

Soccer Girl

Makayla all ready for her first soccer practice...go team DYNAMO!

Aubrey's Little Songs "The Crib"

Everywhere we go recently Aubrey has a little song in her heart...I recorded these two "songs" while we were driving to Makayla's first soccer practice. Hope you enjoy :)

(Don't forget to pause the music so you can hear Aubrey)

"When Your Grumpy..."

Grow Strong In Your Weakness

This devotional spoke straight to my soul....

Kindergarten

All ready for her first day of elementary school!


Proud daddy with his girls!


My precious big girl....where has the time gone???


Walking to school....we were running late on the first day....ahhh!!! It was a little stressful!


Makayla with her teacher Mrs. Ryan


A family picture! Gotta love Aubrey's attitude!


There she goes....



A successful first day of Kindergarten!

Pasadena Mud Run

I joined Jamen and our good friends the Massey's for the Pasadena Mud Run...they were all very encouraging and Jamen ran with me the whole time....having mud kicked in my face was not my most favorite thing...but I did enjoy the course once we crossed that finished line. Our new name after this picture was the "Dirty Wurms"

Two Little Artists

Jamen and I just returned from our anniversary trip, celebrating 14 years of marriage this year we spent three nights in Vegas, we had a great time together! We have a tradition of bringing the girls home a surprise whenever we return from a trip without them....kind of gives them something to look forward to, and who doesn't love a surprise? So this time we picked up a princess art kit filled with stickers galore, markers, crayons, paint and paper! The girls are having a blast creating pictures....I would say this has been a successful surprise :)
