If I had one wish, I would wish for....



Bangs. Bangs?

Kayla brought home an assignment for school which I guess will be used for a presentation of sorts. I didn't have photos handy of an architect so I had to improvise.

Class of 2024

Sounds weird right? That's what the principal told us when talking about the kindergarten class of 2012. Can't believe Kayla is in 'real' school now. Only 12 more years to go after this year. She actually was pretty nonchalant about the whole thing. Woke her up at 7 am, she rolled around a little bit.

Picked out her outfit for the day.
0167

"Pink goes with pink right?"
0168

Brushed her pearly whites.
0169

Ate a breakfast of cereal bar and boxed milk. We didn't have time to grocery shop after returning from our trip, and our shelves/refrigerator were bare to the bone.
0170

Walked big sis to her 3rd grade class.
0171

Walked back home since her class didn't start until 9 AM, which was actually 10 AM. We didn't get the memo.
0172

Went with mom and dad to get some coffee.
0173

Waited patiently in the car, singing and dancing to Last Friday Night
0174

Went back to school.
0176

Enjoyed a bit of sun before class.
0175

Big kid now.
0187

Teacher spelled her name wrong, had to cross out the 'e' and turn it into an 'a'.
0177

They had a bunch of activities for the kids, kind of like a scavenger hunt of sorts.
0179

Getting her mug shot. This is what happens when you tell her to say CHEEEEEESE.
0180

Oh NO! Looks like she has got the wandering eyes at an early age.
0181

0182

Spelled it right on her cubby.
0178

0183

0184

0185

After spending 45 minutes with her in class, it was time to say bye. She said bye with no drama. Like a boss.

A day in sunny Southern California

I had a shoot in Southern CA yesterday, and brought the family along for a mini vacation. We spent today visiting Santa Monica, and enjoyed some nice sun, rides, cotton candy, swimming, and that wonderful Southern CA traffic.

First stop was Pacific Park, and of course the kids wanted to ride the ferris wheel. Kayla kept her hands on her hat the whole time, afraid it might blow away or something.

Then on to more rides.

And more.

So amazing how a simple park ride can provide such joy to a child.

What's even more amazing is that they finished a cotton candy in less than 15 seconds.

I swear, they were attacking that cotton candy like piranhas.

I think talking to each other was more fun than this ride was.

Bumper cars!

After Santa Monica, we headed back to the hotel and the kids wanted to swim. In fact, I think that is probably their favorite part of going on vacation. That, and eating on the hotel beds.

Today, you can have your cake...

And eat it too.

Happy Birthday Kayla Isabel Lee.

Have your cake....

Yes, you CAN wear a Christmas hat, and a ballet outfit, and tie your blankie/T-shirt combo to use as a cape. It's your birthday, you can do whatever you want.

If it looks good, eat it!

We enrolled Kristin in a few summer classes this year, and one of them was cooking. She likes the show Bizarre foods, so now she has an opportunity to make her own bizarre foods. She brought home a few items she made during the week, but off the top of my head, she made cinnamon toast, egg rolls, fried rice, ice cream, lemon frosted donut, smoothies, italian zucchini, fruit salad, and her favorite thing of all.......this jello fruit cup. Of course she was kind enough to share with Kayla.

I told her to hang on. She didn't listen.
