Gorgeous Grace


I took these pictures of Grace last month and neglected to post them. She rarely if ever will stand for a picture so I had to take this opportunity to post these miracle pictures of my gorgeous Gracie. Thank you for letting me brag.

Hart High Spirit Day 2007

Bailey and her babysitter Cassandra S.
For the third year Bailey attended a cheer leading camp held last weekend at my old high school, William S. Hart High. At this camp she gets to spend 6 hours with the cheerleaders and other girls ages 5-12. They play games, learn cheers and have lunch. They get a camp T-shirt and a framed photo with their favorite cheerleader. At the end the parents come back and watch what their kids have learned. Bailey looks forward to it every year and she has a blast. Now take a look at the attached video and you will see that cheer leading might not exactly be in her future but she is having fun and giving it her all. That's all we could ask for.

I Got Tagged!

Ok so a "friend" of mine by the name of Lisa tagged me in a game of question and answer. These are the questions she asked me and here are my answers. Enjoy!
Ok Lisa Here it Goes!

1.What is your funniest/ most embarrassing childhood memory?
I'm not sure that I have a severely funny or embarrassing memory. I did wet my pants in the 5th grade when I was tickled to death during recess but I wasn't too traumatized. Maybe I should have been but after 20 years I have gotten over it. Other than that I'm sure I have several embarrassing moments involving boys but I did alright in the end.

2. What dessert just makes you feel happy?
I LOVE dessert. They all make me happy. I would have to say when I am sad or pregnant I reach for the Ben and Jerry's or a slice of chocolate pie.

3. Which of your children is most like you and why?
I would say that both of my children are a lot like me for different reasons. I guess I have strong genetics. Bailey is like me in that we are both very sensitive and we love to read. We also both love animals, music and art. We are both very dorky. Grace has my hot temper and strong will and my sense of adventure. Grace also loves movies and she is my movie buddy.

4. What would be your "dream job" and why?
Don't laugh but if I could be anything it would be a Broadway star. If I had the talent I would love to be on stage for the rest of my life. I just wasn't given the gift so I go to as many plays as I can. I am so envious of those that sing and dance well and get to do it for a living.

5. What color best matches your personality?
I would say blue because I can be peaceful and I truly love to relax and just be quiet sometimes. I would say yellow because I feel that yellow is a friendly and energetic color and I would say red because I certainly have a fiery side. I try to use it for good but it doesn't always work out that way.

So those are my answers. Since I don't have too many friends with blogs that have not already been tagged I will just have to do it through email. Thanks Lisa for the fun game. It is a nice way to share something about myself with my readers.

Bailey's First Day of 3rd Grade


Bailey started 3rd Grade today and I can't believe how quickly she has grown up. It has been so cool to have Bailey attend my old elementary school and this year she is actually in my old classroom; Rm. 18. This year might be a challenge for Bailey because she really does not know anyone in her class. Most of her friends are in the class next door; however if anyone can make the best of this it is Bailey. She is a pro at making friends and being positive. We are excited to have a 3rd grader in our home and can't wait for Grace to start Kindergarten next year. Here are a couple of pictures of Bailey on the first day of school. The bottom picture is of Bailey and one of her good friends Camaryn.
