Riverdance

I went with my mom, my aunt and my cousin to the Pantages Theater to see Riverdance Saturday night. We first went to the Grove to have dinner and do some shopping. It was the most amazing show I have seen. The talent these musicians and dancers had was unreal. M

Gavin's 1st birthday

We hosted my cousins son's 1st birthday party at our house over the weekend. It was a sports theme and he really enjoyed his cake! So did Kylie. She kept sneaking up to his special moment and taking finger fulls of frosting. Then looks at me like, "What mom? I didn't have any cake!". We love you Gavin and Happy Birthday!

Kylie's 1st dance class

Today we started our mommy and me dance class. It is at the studio where i danced at for 13 years and the teacher taught me when I went there. They allowed her to start a bit young b/c they know me and b/c they had a spot open, so all of the kids are one year older than her, but she fit right in. She had a blast with the scarves and instruments, and of course all of the music and dancing with other little kids. The last picture is Kylie pretending to call her daddy to tell him how much fun she had. M

Irvine Regional Park

My dad got us a parking pass to all of the Orange County city parks for Christmas. If you've never been there, you have to make it on your top 10 places to visit in 2010. They have train rides, horses, hiking trails, picnic areas, a zoo, nature center, paddle boats, peacocks walking around, and so much more. Kylie loved climbing the trees and swinging on the swings. We packed our lunch and ate under 100 yr. old trees and watched some woodpeckers. Casey and I haven't been able to stop talking about it since we left.

we've been sick

This past week we all have had colds, sore throats, and are just tired. Though mom and dad have been under the weather, Kylie has been such a good girl entertaining herself even with a little runny nose. She has been loving her new bath time crayons and water colors. And the last picture of her is her acting like a monkey...her favorite animal! She is even going to have a monkey theme for her 2nd birthday party. M
