1st soccer practice

2008-08-13T11:35:00.000-07:00

so yesterday i met my mom half way to pick up Bella..so that's an hour drive there and back..so 2 hours of driving..but Bella had such a fun time with her gramma and papa..here are a few pics of here getting her nails and toes done..

that will probably be the last time for a while that she will go stay with gma and papa since she will be going to school mon-friday then her soccer games will be every Saturday...

any ways at 430 was her 1st soccer practice..she was so excited,the funny thing is there is 10 kids,and the team is all boys..lol its only her and one other little girl on the team..so funny..for a minute i thought we where placed on the wrong team..but in a way i think it will help her be a better player because boys play so different..they play with no fear,and we all know miss Bella wont settle for second best..she will be better or just as good as the boys! she had a blast..it was 102 outside though..her little face was so red..here are a few pics of her in action..

i think its going to be a great team! the parents seem really nice and the kids do as well..we are all so excited for the season to begin!so now i guess i can be called a soccer mom..lol!

hope your all having a great day!

Renner wasnt to sure of the cake he kind of just played with the frosting and then wanted out of his chair..so funny! here are a few pics of the b day boy

Great America for you that are not sure what that is ..it is a huge amusement park..rollercoasters,games..water slides and all...it has all the nick jr characters..(spongebob,dora,backyardigans)here are a few pics of them thru out the day

They had a blast dancing to the music,eating all the junk food and playing all the games...they where pooped by the end of the day...we where sure one of them would have a melt down but to our surprise they where all wonderful!

The other fun part of the trip was bella and brookie got to have a sleepover with gma..they all made a huge bed in the playroom.they giggled and told bedtime stories..and the first thing they wanted to do when they woke up is to jump right into the pool.

Last part of the girls adventure before brooklyn had to go home was a little fun at the neighborhood park.. and a little dress up

Me and my girls stayed in the bay area a little longer because i had a good friends baby shower to go to sat..her and i have known eachother since we where 5 years old..it was so nice to share her special day with her..she looks so good..it was the first time miko has met my girls..we had a nice day.. great memories!

Ok, fine.

2008-07-05T15:55:00.000-07:00

So, my best friend Erin has been bugging me for the past few months to start a blog. Probably because I bug her about every other day if she hasn't updated HER blog. So, I have been forced into this "blogging word" I guess. Little does she know, I secretly wanted to create a blog, but just haven't had the time to get mine up and going. So here goes nothing...
