Flashback Friday

This is the card I sent Buddy when I found out I was pregnant, that with a dozen pink and blue balloons.
Buddy and Kai

Me and Kai


Picture of Wishes for Baby from Kai's baby book.



Kai and Buddy Christmas pictures 1997. Gosh I used to love Gymboree for the kids. Too bad they have outgrown it. : (
Kai and Buddy attending her first birthday party.
Kai and Buddy on April 11, 1997 her 7th month. We used to have a cake made to celebrate every month leading up to her first birthday. (She was so sick that day.)
January 11, 1997 her fourth month.

Talk about a Daddy's Girl. From the moment Kai was born, she was a "Daddy's Girl". I can't compete. And, I actually don't mind. I think that it is great that Kai and Buddy have such a good relationship. She tends to tell him more than she tells me. And he tends to induldge her every whim.

Kai is our miracle. I had had a perfect pregnancy. Kai was due on September 16th. On September 10th, My water broke and things got very bad from there. Kai went into fetal distress and I ended up with an emergency C-section. Kai was born purple and her apgar scores were horrible. Thankfully the Dr.s worked fast and we were able to bring our angel home with us. I was looking through Kai's baby book the other night and I found a section titled "Wishes for Baby". It's funny how different mine is from Buddy's. Here they are.
From Mommy: I want her to be happy and most of all a healthy baby. I hope that she enjoys herself and makes the most of what life has to offer. I want her to love and respect her family. I want her to do well in school, and go onto college. I would like her to take dance lessons and gymnastics and pursue whichever of the two or anything else she likes. And, if she wants maybe pageants. Love, Mommy

From Daddy: I want the best this world can offer for my little girl. I want Kassandra to excel in everything she does in life and that she can count with all of Daddys support. Daddy wishes that you don't get married until you are 40 but I know it wouldn't be possible because you are so beautiful! I guess what I'm trying to say Kassie, is that you will always be Daddy's Girl and my wish already came true and I hope all of yours come true. Love Always, Daddy

I typed those exactly as was written in her baby book. For the record, I used to be a local director for the Miss Arizona Pageant, and that's why I wrote the pageant entry. I have completly changed my mind about pageants since then.

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...
