Homecoming 2009

Tatiana and Chris went to Homecoming this year, the theme was Paris Nights. They looked absolutely gorgeous. Tatiana loved her dress especially the lacing down the back. Yet again she is growing up to fast. When did I get this old :) Well she will always be my baby, even when she drives me nuts.

Teen Diver

It's official Tatiana is a driver in training. I can't believe how fast time flies, it seems like only yesterday she was starting to walk and talk now she's driving. Help I'm not old enough to have a teenage driver, and now I'll have even more gray..Hello Clairol

Tatiana and Chris went to get their permits together (ahh young love)

She even got to drive home from the DMV

Girls San Diego Night

I was able to squeeze in a little break from home renovation to go to San Diego with the girls. We had a great time hanging out at the Bristol Hotel in the Gas light District. 

Ready to hit the town

This is what happens at the end of a girls night..lol

Spooktacular Fireworks

We decided to head on over and check out the Disneyland Halloween fireworks show and hit a couple rides, but OMG it was sooo packed it took us 1/2 an hour just to get into the parking garage. So instead we just did dinner and fortunately lucked out and got awesome seats outside at the Plaza Inn where we were able to watch the fireworks and have dessert at the same time what more could you need.

Sydney loved her special Mickey mug filled with pumpkin mousse

YEY here comes the show

A room fit for a princess

One room almost down.  We went from Spider-Man to Princess in just a few weeks.  Sydney's favorite colors are pink and purple so that's what we gave her and we will be adding a white chair rail to finish it off.

The Cave

And now the cave is transformed... with lots of arm breaking work we finally have gotten rid of the nasty brown walls, it only took some re-texturing (which I can now say I am pretty darn good at) and a million gallons of primer.

even Sk helped
Like I said a cinch :)

Now they are a lovely celery"ish" with a light butter cream accent wall. Okay all we need now are floors and some base boards

One Last Summer Outing

It was such nice weather we had to have one last summer outing (and a definite break from home renovation) , so the whole family went to Raging Waters and had a blast. Sydney with her cousin Mikayla

Wow a giant mermaid or as she called her cereal aka Ariel
