Memorial Day Visit

We had lots of fun with a visit from the Moon’s for the Memorial Day Weekend. This meant Seaworld, having a hot juicy hamburger from Hodads’s in OB, a walk along the eye opening boardwalk and pier, and fun memorial car rides. A fun summer visit would not be complete with out a b-bque and a game of volley ball. We were so in to it. The girls were the Scandenavian team “Bobutskas” and we always disputed the calls. Way funn!!!!

Kelee is always so good to my girls. She got them all organized for the summer to get their personal progress in line....and it was so much fun watching the season finale of “Grey’s Anatomy”....very riviting...and can’t wait for the next season!!!!!

We always seem to break out the board games....and it is way fun to see the kids enjoying each other and getting along. Way to cute to watch Ryan and Brinley play together....we never have to worry about them because they are always together and in their own world. Brinley was crying today....and wishes her cousins lived closer!!!!

Justin Bieber....newest heartthrob!

It is true....I went to the Justin Bieber concert with the cutest girls in Escondido (my girls and Sam Haynie, Danielle Knox and Claudia Rodriquez) ....along with a sold out Kick Off Summer Concert put on by the radio station 933 at the Cricket Theater in Chula Vista.

It was a sold out crowd of 20,000 screaming teens mainly under the age of 16 and their mothers. The girls would start screaming for no reason and everyone in the crowd would think he was coming out to do a sound check. He really was a cutie and lets just hope the young man can keep it all together as he rises to the top.

I was grateful to have ear plugs....the type people use at the airport so they don’t hear the engine start up??? It was way loud, but an overall great first concert for my girls.

Brooke's SPHS Softball Experience!

Softball was a great experience for Brooke her freshman year. She was selected to play on the JV team....and played at second. She enjoyed playing with team mates Allison Ricker, Kelley Parry, Jasmine Nava and Erin Perko, all of who had played with her in past rec seasons.

The JV Coach, Adam Martinez managed the girls really well and Brooke even played a funny April Fools joke on him. In other words, she got along well with him too. They won the majority of the games this season. The most thrilling wins was against Torrey Pines. We came from behind....and both games were legit wins.

Brooke had the opportunity to pitch for her team against Poway during the year, because Brooke Langeloh was pulled up to pitch for Varsity. Brooke persevered, and kept a smile on her face, even when it got tough. By the end of the season she was nick named Smiley.

We knew Brooke was having a great season, but did not exactly know all the stats. She ended up batting 471, receiving the MVP award and Best Offensive Player. She was pulled up to Varsity for the last CIF game. Did not get to play, but it was a honor. She will need to keep up her skills next year and work really hard. We know how hard it can be going it to a fresh season after ending one as good as this one. She will most likely be playing on a travel team and start athletic training this summer.

Exciting!!!!

Braces finally off!

After four years of braces...the day finally came to get them off! We are happy that her hard efforts of wearing bands, mouthguards and and waiting and having teeth pulled paid off.
Dr. Brad Baker, her orthodontist gives them a goodie bag of all the treats that were forbidden for so many years.
Her new nickname is "Smiley".....given to her by her softball coaches. So now between hearing Brooke giggle and smile.....she is never that hard to find. She is mostly enjoying eating popcorn, whole apples and corn on the cob!

Crazy Hair Day!!!

Here is my cutie patooti....she was so excited to finally have a crazy hair day at preschool, just like her sisters have done for school spirit days. She had it all planned out in her own mind as to how it would look. It stayed like this for most of the day. She asked her preschool teacher if they could start having spirit days at her school. I have a feeling she will be in ASB when she is older!

Junior Prom

Blake had a lot of fun with his first prom experience! He decided to ask Nicki Efenberger, a sophomore at SPHS. He decide to get a teddy bear from “Build A Bear” in the mall. We dressed it...and doctored him up in blue and gold. His friend, Jacob Clingo helped him compose a song asking Nikki to go to prom with him. I will have to post the song...very catchy tune. Within 10 minutes of asking her.....her facebook stated “I am the luckiest girl at SP”. This gave Blake a little boost of confidence.

We got him all decked out in his tux and it was nice meeting Nicki’s family. Kevin took great pictures of the couple and they headed to dinner in a party bus. They went with 22 other couples and had dinner at Carvers Steak House in Rancho Bernardo. After a great dinner they went down to the waterfront in San Diego and boarded a hornblower cruise.

After the dance the party bus brought them back to Escondido to a friends house were they had waffles and played games til the we morning hours.

We are glad he has good friends and had a blast!!!!!

Shamu Stadium....in our backyard?

This is the cute little invite that Brittany made for Brinley's Party! It is so good to have someone really computer literate and knows graphics and all!!!!

We had a “Whale of a Time” planning and having Brinley’s 5th Birthday party in our own backyard. My teens had a lot of help from their friends and they themselves came up with a show to present to Brinely. We lined the kids all up by our baja step and they waited for the show to begin. The music started and the dolphins and Shamu made it to to the step.

The funniest thing that happened was when a child yelled out “ Is that all Shamu can do”!!! We want to see him dive under the water” I was gut laughing!!! The trainers even had them come feel them....and ride on them.

For lunch we served octopus, which was actually hot dogs split into 8 legs. We had blue jello cups with gummy sharks inside and whip cream as sea foam. We served fishy crackers and blue punch. The kids thought it was the best.

Bailey red the story “A Fish Out of Water” to all the kids in the jacuzzi and as they left we handed each guest a gold fish in a small fish bowl. We have since heard most of the fish barely made it home alive....but it sure was cute.
