This year TDA chose to go to Dance Masters of America Nationals. They were held at the Coronado Springs Hotel in Disneyworld. Florida is a great place to visit, I could never live there. It is so humid and it rains all the time. It can be a beautiful day...and then all of a sudden here comes the rain. Disneyworld, however, is the most fun. It was Kassie's first trip to Disneyworld and she loved it. We had a blast, and it was so much fun getting on all the big kid rides with her. She is definetly a thrill rider. She could not get enough of "Rockin Roller Coaster". I have to admit, it was my favorite also. Going to Nationals with all the TDA dancers is always great. The kids have a great time together, and it helps build their friendships so that when they dance together, they have fun. TDA as a whole had an awesome Nationals. They were awarded very few Golds, most of the numbers scored Platinum. Kassie competed two solos at DMA. She did Hippy Hippy Shake and a new solo to Baby I'm A Star. With HHS, she scored a Platinum and won her division, she also came in 6th place overall. She got a Gold with Baby I'm A Star. That was great considering she just barely finished it in time for Nationals. All in all, it was a great time. Next years Nationals we are off to NYC again.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start. 

Just how long has it been? A long, long time....

Not so much of a Blogaholic. I almost feel the need to change the name of my poor little blog. It has sat here deserted with no updates and no pictures. I think about it everyday, yet I can't seem to find the time to come back to it. My intention for my blog was to document so much of our days and lives. And yet, I have let months go by without one little entry. There is no way my mind can remember everything that has happened since my last post. So much missed. The majority of Kai's 8th grade year, and the majority of Nachito's 5th grade year. Not to mention how many holidays and important events I have missed. Trips and of course Birthday parties. Somehow I need to find the time to record these events, and even if I have to back date them, I will document them at some point. This week is a tough school week for the kids. AIMS testing for both of them. Today they both felt very good about how they did. Nothing much has changed in Kai's world. She still dances, still c...
