Flower Girls - Danny and Lindsey's Wedding - March 2010

My cousin Danny got married to a wodnerful girl named Lindsay. They asked Kayden to be their flower girl and she of course, was flattered. She took her job very serious and we talked about it weeks and weeks before the actual "big day". My grandma hand made the flower girl dress, and it turned out perfect. The day was beautiful, the ceremony was even more beautiful and it was so special to see my big girl have a part in it all!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER GIRL!

Doing her thang! Got a little shy, but all in all, very brave girl

Guess who is THREE?!?!?!!!!!

They grow up waaayyyy too fast ! On March 2, JRob turned 3! He enjoyed his special day - started off with a stopat the donut shop to pick up donuts for his class - It was adorable to watch him pick out donuts for each kids in his class based on what he thought they would like. After school, I picked him up and brought him home to make him dinner and cupcakes.

Globtrotters

For Christmas this year, we got tickets to take my parents to the Globtrotters. I was such a deprived child growing up that my dad never took me to see these legendary bball players...haha! It was a very entertaining show - both kids really liked it, as they are used to seeing pretty intense bball games where laughter isnt the main focus. They laughed, enjoyed time with Non and Gramps, and of course, begged for cotton candy ... and got it!

The Magic Circle

FUN DAY!

JRob vs Malakai - March 2010

All the kids made it a tradition to naturally become the "half time" show at all of Ricks home games ( and then some!). Malakai and JRob have a true love for the game, so Rick insisted we set up a one-on-one game during half time of his last home game- his Sophmore Night. Brought the two hoops, set up the court and prepped our mini ballers for their performance. JRob and Malakai were chomping at the bit to get down there and show their stuff. The buzzer rang for half time to begin and they were off. After tip off, the ball exchanged hands a few times before ending up in JRobs hands for a layup. He makes the layup and the crowd erupted. JRobs eyes turned to all these people watching him, those he had no clue were watching he and Malakais every move prior to. This froze our shy little guy. He spent the next few minutes wrapped up between my two legs. I basically rebounded endless balls for Malakai as he ran the court. It took some convincing not to mention JRob has a hard time staying away from anything athletic - definitely is a competitor and not a spectator, but he eventually joined Malakai in this friendly competition.

Jrob, Kayden, Brooklyn and Drew enjoyed fun times together as we met up with our buds at the Irvine Park Santa train. It was a fun evening shared with good friends!

Happy Bday Nicholas!

We traveled down to South County to a bday party--So much fun! They brought a fire truck in for rides around the neighborhood. JRob got off from his ride and told me it wasnt scary and that I ought to try it!
