Fairy Tale Ball

Yesterday was the annual 1st grade Fairy Tale Ball at Ocotillo Elementary.

The kids were all in costume (Jennie is on the far right, next to her friend Ethan)

Here's a little video compilation of the ball.


Little Red Jennie and King Ethan

It may not look like it, but Jennie was having fun!


Aunt 'T ' as Cinderella

The two princesses


May she always want to dance with her dad...

Summer...In MAY?!?!?

Man oh man, it was a hot one in Palmdale this weekend (around 101). And even though the water was a brisk 70 degrees, the kids spent a good chunk of time playing in the pool.

Mother's Day 2008

So, in the direct opposite mode of last weekend...

On Saturday morning, Jennie got a call for a play date with her friend Ethan. With Jennie over at Ethan's house, it seemed like a good time to take Jacob to see Iron Man. He totally dug it! With both kids and Dad out of the house, it gave Ann a little time to herself, a bit of an early Mother's Day gift, as it were.

After the movie and picking Jennie up from Ethan's house, we we're driving home after getting gas, when we thought 'Hey, its only 3:00 on Saturday afternoon...lets go to Disneyland!"

We were able to get a room at the Grand Californian, and spent Saturday night and most of Sunday at the parks. Sometimes, the best weekends just happen!

Heaven help us when she is allowed on the roads!

Not exactly Fred and Ginger...

Sometimes, nothing happens...

It was a bit of a kick-back weekend. We took some stuff to the Women's Assistance League Thrift store on Saturday, and went to church on Sunday.

Like I said, sometimes, nothing happens...and that can be a good thing!

So, for a little blast from the past,here is a picture of Jacob and Jennie from July of 2002.
