Tulita's Halloween Parade

Josette was a major cutie as she dressed up as a soldier this year for Halloween. The whole family went down to Tulita to watch the kids in their fun, creative and interesting costumes.

Jaime's Birthday

In honor of our good friend Jaime's birthday, we all met at Fashion Island to treat her to a fabulous lunch at True Foods. The restaurant just opened and is amazing!!! Had such a great time catching up with Jaime, Angie, Brittany L. and Brittney H.

Halloween at Town & Country

Gigi dressed up as an Autumn Witch and Jessie was a brunette Rapunzelle. Both as cute as can be. They spent the day celebrating Halloween with their friends and classmates. They came home with lots of treats and goodie bags, it was only fair that I go through and taste my favorites! haha!

Phantom of the Opera

What a dream for me to take my oldest daughter to the Theater. Josette and I had a date night to see Phantom at the Pantages. We have been looking forward to this for weeks. For the last couple years we have been playing the music in the car and singing to the top of our lungs. I wish I could have taken the little ones, but they just weren't old enough yet. Josette and I had a nice Italian dinner, did a little shopping, then walked to the Pantages in the rain. It was the perfect night for an amazing show.

Western Night at Tulita

We look forward to this school fundraiser every year. Put on your boots and head down to Tulita for some hamburgers, hot dogs and good ol' fashion fun. Gene joined us as we ate, visited with friends and played tons of games. Even Van enjoyed the fun!

Fun with the Blaka's

BBQ and cookie decorating on a Sunday afternoon. Our families have the best time together!!!

Playdate with Claire and Lila

We always love having our little blond friends Claire and Lila over. It's been fun to watch Van and Lila as they're only 2 months apart.
