Callie's Birthday

Another fun afternoon celebrating Callie's 8th birthday at Olivia's Dollhouse Tearoom.  So much fun playing dress up for the day!

Gotta love the singing gorilla!

A Little Bit Of Crazy

This is what happens when we're waiting for Josette to get out of school.

Eva's 12th Bithday

Josette had a great time at Eva's Glamping Party!  They started the evening at Cinepolis Westlake to see Strange Magic then came back to the house for a jacuzzi and smores.  They all slept in a huge comfy tent inside.  She always has a great time with Eva and loved getting to know her friends.

Wax Museum

The big 3rd Grade project of the year is the Wax Museum.  Each student picks a significant person from the past or present and becomes that person while giving a 1 minute speech to an ongoing audience.  We were so proud of Gigi as she transformed into Pro Surfer Bethany Hamilton.  Bethany is such an inspiration to others and Gigi did a wonderful job telling about her amazing life and accomplishments.  Good job Gigi!

Beach in February

The perfect day to meet Van's friends Jess and Kaya at the beach.

Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet in LA!  Jeff and I jump at the chance to see 80's bands and Spandau did not disappoint.  They were awesome!!!  We had dinner Saturday night at La Scala then went to The Wiltern to see the concert.  Always love a date night... good food + good music = good fun!

Jessie's First Reconciliation

A very important day for Jessie.  Her Dad and I joined her as she prepared and made her First Reconciliation.  As we confess we find God's unconditional forgiveness and as a result we are called to forgive others.  It is a beautiful thing to watch your child grow into a humble graceful young girl.  We're so proud of you Jessie Joy!
