Makenzie's Pajama Jam Birthday party





Happy birthday to you Makenzie!  I can't believe you are 8 years old!  It feels like just yesterday when I brought you home from the hospital all wrapped up in your little outfit that your daddy took so long to pick out for you!  You have grown up into such a remarkable young lady.  I am so proud of all that you have accomplished already, and can't wait to see what is in store for you in the future!  We love you to pieces!



We had Makenzie's pajama jam extravaganza at Pump It Up in Irvine.  Between the girls at dance, and the 2nd grade girls at Panorama, there were 30 little ladies all decked out in their pajamas, ready for some fun!  We decorated "sleepover kit" bags, had a pajama fashion show, and jumped on the four inflatables for two hours.  I thought Makenzie would be exhausted at the end of the night, but instead opted to go to the "after party" with her cousins...We had a late dinner at Johnny Rockets and the kids danced to the music at the District in Tustin.  It was such a great day!

Makenzie's First Day of 2nd Grade











I can't believe my big girl is starting 2nd grade! It seems like just yesterday I was dropping her off with Mrs. Kinslow in the 3-year-old room in preschool, and now she is off to 2nd grade. :( Where does the time go! We've seen big change over the past year with Makenzie. She has matured alot! She is an excellent reader, loves school, and even has an interest in boys! Oh no! She has been "coordinating" school outfits and accessories, and has a plan for hr hairstlyes every morning. She is so funny! Her teacher this year is Mrs. Silverman, who seems very much like a no-nonsense teacher. I hear she is a great teacher though, and that we can expect Makenzie to grow leaps and bounds this year!

Ay Carumba Team Party

























Ay Carumba girls got to end the summer with a splash at their team swim party at the Irvine Aquatics Center. They had so much fun swimming, snacking and going down the slide. It was such a fun way to end the year!







Tuesday's at Disneyland!!


This summer we were so lucky to spend Tuesday's at the parks with Makenzie's good friend Jadyn and their dance teacher Ms. Anna. The girls were so excited to see Anna's daughter perform as a jellyfish in the Pixar parade, and cut in front of all the lines with Paula's awesome "front of the line" pass.
