Girl Scout Day at Staples Center!

What an amazing time! Through the Girl Scouts we got to go to a Kings game but the best part was before the game even started! We got to ice skate on Staples Center/LA Kings Ice. That was pretty much a once in a lifetime thing. Everyone had a blast. I might add, Christina and I did not fall once! Check out the slide show for the pictures. Before the game started we all went down front to watch the warm up. Those sweet little girls were all over that, pounding on the glass to get the players attention. Players were flicking pucks up and over for the kids and guess who caught one...me! Austin immediately grabbed it from me to use as a teether. Perfect thing to use, hard and cold! OK...Imageloop is making me crazy so.....look all the way down for the slide show of pictures!

Halloween 2008

How cute they were! Christina was a vampire so I had no choice but to make Austin a bat! I made both of their costumes (without a pattern I might add!). Christina and Millie were only out for about 45 minutes before they got bored. Last year they were out for a couple hours and came home with pounds and pounds of candy. This year the amount was just right. Everyone was commenting on the fact that there were not many kiddos this year and it was a Friday night, very strange. Here are a couple pics of the kiddos....now if I could just figure out how to have the pics below the text!!!

I have been slacking!

What can I say...life just happens and get in the way of posting! I have some great pictures to post this weekend. Adorable Halloween Pictures and from the LA Kings Game on November 1st. We actually got to skate on the Staples Center ice before the game. Stay tuned for pictures to come tomorrow.

Chance of a Lifetime...

Christina had the opportunity of a lifetime on Friday October 10, 2008!

A day she will NEVER forget!


I got a message from Meghan at 9:30 AM, she wanted to pickup Christina from school along with her daughter Millie and son JT. She got an email for a special event that was happening that afternoon/evening. Meghan happens to work for Disney. As it turns out Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana needed audience members for the filming of 4 or 5 music videos for her brand new, never before heard songs!! Oh My Gosh, how cool is that? Meghan and the 3 kids head south down the 405 to the Verizon Ampitheater in Irvine in Friday afternoon traffic. They make it in time and enter the Ampitheater. They were seated in row HH, which Christina said was a good spot. (Do you think that any 8 year old girl would think there was a bad seat???) Hannah's special guest was Mitchell Musso, a co star on the show. The girls were actually hoping for the Jonas Brothers. So at 5:15 PM Hannah starts performing as if she was in concert and sang each song several times for filming. Cameras were panning the audience so there is a small chance that Meghan, Millie, JT and Christina will show up in one of the videos. What a chance of a lifetime that any 8 year old girl will remember forever. Christina did not have the opportunity to meet Miley/Hannah but I know that she probably would have asked her when she was going to Menchie's Frozen Yogurt again!!

Christina's First day of 3rd Grade

It seems like yesterday that I took a picture of her on her first day of Kindergarten, and here she is...3rd grade already. She is into Pink and things with Skulls...

what happened to my little girl?

I must say, I do love this shirt though! Who would have thought "skulls" could be so cute!

My First Blog Post!

Well, I have finally taken the plunge into the "blogging world"!! I plan on posting at least once a week with family updates and pictures of Christina and Austin. I will start with one of my favorite Austin pictures. The picture tells it all....he loves his new adventure into baby food!
