FIRST Soccer Game for ME!

Today I actually got to go to one of Logan's soccer games! I had the day off for Halloween so it worked out nicely. I didn't realize it was going to be such a scorcher of a day! Logan seems to enjoy soccer only sometimes.... today I guess wasn't one of those days. He seemed tired on the field and when the coaches would tell him what to do it was like he didn't even hear them. I guess maybe because he was sick for last weeks game and practice. But I did my Momly duty and yelled and clapped for him! I was also snack mom for this game. Go figure my first time and I didn't even know exactly what I was suppose to do or bring. I guess they are suppose to have oranges at half time and I didn't have any. I felt like some other parents were giving me "that look" but WHATEVER! I had NEVER been to a game before. They all survived and at the end I had snacks and Halloween goody bags for each player!









This part at the end of the game was soooo CUTE! They all had the hands out WAY before the other team was even near to say "Good game"!

PUMPKIN PATCH!

This year we went to a new pumpkin patch! The GIANT one on the corner of YL Blvd & Imperial. We've been passing by it over and over and every time we did the kids would yell out "I want to go there"! It was large pumpkin patch with many jumpers and stuff for little kids to do. I think now days that is what a pumpkin patch is...... a money maker with all the things that aren't pumpkins! I don't know anyone that will buy a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch?? Oh well, the kids had a BLAST on the jumpers and slides! I even had fun going down the slide with Kira. I wish we had one of those in our backyard! It was pretty outrageously expensive though so when we were leaving of course we had TWO screaming and crying children that wanted to go on more but we couldn't fathom paying more for activities at the pumpkin patch than just going to Disneyland!


Kira LOVED the mini-jumper and actually went a little NUTS in there all by herself! It was pretty hilarious!

BACHELORETTE Weekend!

Angela's Bachelorette weekend was spent down in Palm Desert. I was able to join for 1 night and had alot of fun with all the girls and the festivities! Here's a few pics of the decor for her weekend!




Here she is the BRIDE TO BE or BACHELORETTE!!!



We had a YUMMY dinner at a Tepanyaki (sp?) restraurant and man was the cook SOOO entertaining! I mean I've been to Hibachi and Benihana's multiple times but this cook was totally entertaining and hilarious! I've never seen someone make a man's genitalia out of fried rice!!!

Here we are the PARTY people on the PARTY BUS! Actually it was a shuttle bus that would run guests back and forth from the condo like hotel to the main hotel. This is all of us after having been at a night club, (Man that was strange to be at a night club! I'm used to being MOM at home in my comfy clothes!) we got a ride home with a group of guys celebrating a Bachelor party! HA! It was a fun time and I am sure a very FUN and MEMORABLE time for Miss Angela!

Logan's Jusa and School Pictures

Here's Logan's official JUSA soccer pictures! I wasn't there the day he had these done but I think they turned out pretty cute. Don't know what's up with the team photo placement... Looks a bit OFF to me, LOL! Then below is Logan's 2009 California Preschool pictures. Actually, I think he looks cute in both but I am soooo NOT FOND of both the image qualities. I guess it's something that no matter what you have to buy in your child's life for keepsake memories for when thry grow up. Otherwise I mind as well do my own JUSA Soccer pics and School pics myself!!!

"Fo-Hawk"?

I cut Logan's hair today and decided to try and cut a "Fo-Hawk". It's just a small one and it's cute when he lets me do it with gel but I usually have to bribe him cuz he hates having his hair done. I think he looks cute! Doesn't matter, it's just hair and his grows really fast!

Logan & Kira (mostly Kira)

1st SOCCER Practice!

Logan started soccer practice today! This is his first time playing soccer and JUSA. Luckily the coach is Joe and someone we know. From the looks of it the kids enjoyed their first soccer practice and actually listened to both coaches. I am sure this will be a fun and interesting season.


Coach Joe trying to teach the kids how to warm up with Jumping Jacks. This was a first for Logan and from the looks of it it may have been a first for the others as well. We were cracking up at their attempts for Jumping Jacks!

Taking a run to a tree and back. Logan is one of the younger one's on the team along with Joe's son Jack and cousin Jude. Jack and Logan got along great. I almost think they may be the two "trouble makers"!?

Here's Kira showing us how to run back and forth on the field. If you've seen this girl run it's HILARIOUS! She thinks the faster she moves her arms all around then her legs will move even faster. Too funny!

Then with camera in hand and Kira wanting to venture off to the playground, I of course had to take a minute to make her pose for Mommy. These shots took all of 1 minute and she was OVER it and ready to go on the slide, the swings and climb the jungle gym!


At least she is SMILING! Must be a rare occassion!


Swinging on the swings!

Logan looks so CUTE! Like such a little Soccer player! Vic swears Logan looks just like him especially in a soccer outfit and ball in hand. :)

NO DOUBT AGAIN...

Went to the No Doubt concert again but this time it was in Irvine at Verizon Wireless Amp. I do LOVE the Gibson Theatre but I think I like Irvine as well. It's a different vibe since it's outdoors I think. Tonight I went with my No Doubter friend Liz and Angela and Brianna. It was Brianna's 1st ND concert so that was exciting. I am pretty sure she had a good time, I don't think anyone would have anything other than a good time no matter what!



Here's just a portion of the crowd that was there. It's amazing how many people fill up the entire area!

I LOVE my Gwen and she is just AMAZING! I've loved them for so long for so many reasons but DANG that girl is in the BEST shape I think I've seen in all the time's I've seen her! Must be nice to have some motivation like a HUGE tour to get ready for, a Trainer everyday and probably a Chef. Hmmm, we'd all look like her if we had all that right?! I'd hope so!



So glad I was able to sneak in my camera for all these shots! I think they turned out pretty good considering how far away we were. But we did have pretty good seats, definitely not the upper seats or the lawn! It's so different going to a packed area where I now have to actually sit in a seat for a ND concert. I can remember way back in the day where they played at small venues, small PACKED venues and I was always in the Pit and within touching distance of Gwen with my little dinky throw away camera. I even made signs to hold up and got her gifts every concert to pass up to her. Too bad that was then and now I am 31 yrs old still LOVING them but now have to sit in a darn seat. Well not actually sitting but you know what I mean. LOVE NO DOUBT and GWEN! :)
