 Travelers...

 

First time at the BIG guy Barber Shop.

Celebrating  Wendy's 40th.

Palm Desert  = Family Time.

Me and my gang in Papa's Van.

BIG girl haircuts with the works done by the amazing April...

Reading Super Stars and BFF's (note the matching necklaces).

Ear Piercing. I have never seen a kid who wanted this SO badly but was so scared.  3 trips to the mall and still no pierced ears... 1 trip to the amazing Nurse Barbara and we had success. Right after she stopped screaming and oh yes, she screamed she told Barb "I feel like my life is changing." Oh, this peach...

My FAVORITE picture of Carlson.

OC fair date night with our besties...

And then all too soon this became a reality.

Here we go again. xo A

First Day Jitters...NOT!

Here we go. We now have two 3rd graders and a 6th grader in Middle School. I also moved from Kindergarten to 2nd grade after 10 years. Bring it on 2013-2014; we got this!

My mini-me. I laughed when I pulled this up on the MAC. I wonder where she learned to stand like that?

Not bad for a 7:10 a.m. photo shoot. All smiles and no tears; can everyday run this smooth?
