Kai and Jillian


Year one - Angel

Year two - Angel

Year three - Angel and party boy

Year four - Angel and finally.....party girl!!

Again, it's one of those things. Kai and her dreams/wishes. TDA sponsors the childrens cast auditons for the Nutcracker ballet with the Moscow ballet. Four years ago, she auditioned to be in the show. She was originally cast as a snowflake. She is very small for her age, and she was the same size as all of the snowflakes. After rehearsals started, she was changed to an angel. She was happy. When we went to the show, she saw all the different characters. She fell in love with the party scene. She wanted so bad to be a party girl. The next year, she was cast an Angel...again. Well, maybe next year she said. Then as she does every year, she cut her hair in August and donated it to Locks of Love. Nutcracker auditions came around, she knew she was old enough to be in the party scene, but she was cast as a party boy. Why? Her hair was not long enough to be a party girl. Party girls, have to have their hair half up/half down and curly. She was devasted. Nonetheless, she was a party boy, and also an angel. She was still small enough and after two years, she knew the part. What happened this year was that she for no reason would cut her hair, just a trim and style. She was determined to be a party girl. She broke her record, she had donated her hair for three straight years. And this year, nothing. Auditions came again, and ...finally a party girl!!! And also an angel, why mess with tradition. So here are the pictures for this years Nutcracker. Kai, finally a party girl..

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...
