Oh, no! I crashed my beautiful car!!!! AAHHH!!!

Don't ever say you have never done something or it just might happen. Twice! Until this week I have never gotten a ticket. On the way to the doctor a few days ago I got a speeding ticket. And today Cara, Cole and I were on our way to Lisa's Birthday lunch at Chili's. Traffic got backed up for some reason. Who knows? And a fun little teenage girl,not paying attention, slammed on her brakes. Needless to say, I could not stop. The girl jumped out of Her car and started apologizing. She was to young to know that I was the one that was going to have to pay. Of course I got the ticket. Luckily we are all OK. Cara and I are just a little sore. Cole was just excited to see the fire truck. Monica came to our rescue. She made us all laugh. She told us that my van looked like a Taco. We thought it was funny, because we were all very hungry. It was 110 degrees outside. But it felt like 120. I was drenched in sweat. We all sat in Monica's vehicle and waited out the "ticket giving process." The air bags did not deploy so my van was not safe to drive. We then went to lunch at Paradise Bakery. Why does a chocolate chip cookie always make you feel better? I was really holding up well until I got home then I broke down and cried.

It looks like a taco!

Ahoy Matey

Cole turned four this year! He had fun helping me plan His pirate party. We made a pirate ship
cake and had His party at Val Vista Lakes.

The highlight was the pirate pinata which they all massacred with a sword.

We found the buried treasure!

Arrrrrrrrgh!

Pirates:

Callen, Kade, Cooper, Abby, Bree, Jane, Riley, Cole, Rachel, Clair, Cassidy.

First Day of School!

Our new school opened up this year. We are now members of Quartz Hill Elementary. We are the Trailblazers. Our school song is "Together" from High school Musical. We were excited to have Mr. Hallock move over from Spectrum to be our Principal.

Riley is in 5th grade this year. He was worried He would have more homework and He does.

He really likes His teacher Mrs. Horn. And he plays the trumpet in the band. That's ironic!

Kade is in Mrs. Failla's 4th grade class. He was excited to have many of His friends in His class. He takes paper and makes origami for all the kids on the bus.
Brianna is excited for 2nd grade.

She loves Her teacher, Mrs. Frazier. She has a kids club she organized at recess with all the Kindergarten kids. She teaches them things . They play games like Duck, Duck, Goose and Tag. She also teaches them how to do cartwheels. That's Bree for you. Always being a little teacher.

We are ready for a fantastic school year.
