Palm Springs..our not so far-away-get-away!

My dad got a place in Palm Springs a few weekends ago! I had to work on Saturday so we drove up Sunday morning and stayed till monday night! It was the perfect little vaca! It was at this great place that had an amazing kids pool with a water slide, water squirters and fountains and... A LAZY RIVER! Nothing is better than a lazy river in a hot, hot place! you just chill and stay cool at the same time. Soo good.

Perfect palm springs pic.

Thanks mom and dad for letting us crash!! We loved it!

September Happenings!

We were so happy when Dland summer black out was over!!! We miss Disneyland when we can't go every other week!!! We have definitely gotten back in the routine! Here are some recent pics!!

I should get an award for creating such beautiful creatures.

Jim and I walked around Hollywood Blvd one night! It was fun...haven't done it in awhile...thats the nice thing about having an LA boy...I get to do LA things I never do!!! We had the most fun looking in crazy tatoo parlors!! they are scary but really some of those artists are extremly talented!

We also went to Magic Mtn. with his sister and her family! His brother in law is a fire-fighter and they have a special night just for fire-fighters and their families so it wasnt crowded at all! Still 3 million degrees, even at night, but not crowded! :) I could only handle a few rides though...i think having babies messed up my head...I dont really get nauseated, just bad headaches. Ill stick to my space mountain thank you very much.

Back to school 2008...its a big year!

The kids started school the day after Labor Day!!! It's a big year for me this year...Cashel started Kindergarten and Avalon started Jr. High!!! I can't believe my baby is in school...she is supposed to stay young forever! And Avalon in Jr. High?!? It's killing me! I went to her "back to school" night a few weeks ago and she is going to the middle school i went to...talk about flash back!! I started remembering teachers and conversations and crushes all happening in those halls!! She is so mature and teenagerish...it's fun, but a little sad for me at the same time...she is such a beautiful, hilarious and smart young lady and I'm feeling like I'm losing my little friend already!!! :(

Kobe is my third grader...stud as usual...the ladies love their Kobes

Gorgeous. She is so big!!

Avalon got side bangs!!! and shaved and got some other "things" im not to thrilled about...

New year. New Kicks.

Every year since Avalon was in Kindergarten we have been meeting with this group for first day of school ice cream to compare notes! Fun tradition...its funny looking back at the pictures...the first one that was taken, Cashel was still in my tummy!!!
