First day of kindergarten!!!

OH my goodness!! My lil' girl is in school.....does that mean among other things that I am getting older??......and so is she :(. It's amazingly crazy how fast the time goes! This is a huge milestone for me and for any Mommy and especially for the lil' wee one's.. (that aren't so wee anymore). I did not shed any tears, like I hear some mommies do (bless your hearts). Because my darling daughter is so independent she was not scared at all but in fact counting down the days, she especially wanted to ride the bus. Because, of this enthusiasm I too was excited for her!
So, I decided to start some traditions like School shopping as mommy and daughter day including lunch at her choice establishment in which she chose the refined and elegant Mcdonalds and she also, got her fingernails painted. So groovy!
On the BIG day she woke up bright and early to her favorite breakfast of french toast and got ready with joy to my reluctance she rode the bus.....and then like any crazy, loving mother would do, I followed it.....I even snuck up on her before school started. where she was playing on the playground like it was any other day. She looked up for a split second and said "oh Hi Mom!" and continued on playing.........I took my que and walked away and ok, maybe at that momnet I shed a little tear, but my heart was full of joy!

all up in stitches!!!

Poor Trin.....It's written all over her face!! Here is the scoop this trajedy wouldn't haven't have happened if she stayed in her bed through the night! On occassion Chris and I wake up with a munchkin right in between us that wasn't there when we went to bed?? Trin likes to sneak in our room in the middle of the night this not so fun night she tip toed in and tripped right onto the corner of our bed and slit her cheek open and 5 stitches later.......

Goodbye to summer 2008...

Though it is HOT outside it seems once the new school year begins its goodbye to splashing and picnics at the splash pad, so long to hanging out and climbing trees, no more sipping water from the stream, climbing rocks and scraping your knee, farewell to bake sales at the park and popsicles melting down your face, no more playing outside till it gets dark, put away the swimsuits you wore all summer from hanging out at the city pool and staying in them all day, the grasshoppers will no longer jump away after much relentess chase,we'll miss the movies at the park, the slip n' slide is put away,goodbye to camping and fishig and all the bugs that were my playmates.....goodbye summer of 2008 it was a good one!!

GONE FISHIN'

We went up to Pine Valley and camped out with our dear friends the Hurds...we had sooo much fun! We went fishing while we were up there...it was so funny to watch the kids fish with the lil' fishing poles....they didn't catch anything but, that didn't matter a bit cause they caught a dragonfly and that was sooo cool!!

Girls just wanna have FUN!!

My BFF Amie Carlos and her darling daughter mayah, who Trinity considers to be her BFF (so cute!!) went on a girls rendevous to vegas where we stayed in a castle (Excalibur of course!) We had tons of fun fit for the princesses we are!! we went shopping, dined out, indulged at the candy store, pillow fights! (the lil girls did anyway or maybe they just jumped on the bed!?), swimming (we snuck into the awesome Mandalay bay pool like master cons... sshhhh don't tell anyone...and I know what kind of example I am not!I'm working on it! it was sooo worth it!),went to breakfast in our jammies, girls nite out sushi and before we hit the road the girls got their very own manicures!!
