Kali's First High School Dance Los Alamitos Aug 2010

The first dance was planned before school even started..they were ready...they were excited..and they partied and danced like freshmen! The theme was "Team Jersey's" Kali met at Phoebe's house, right by the high school, and the 7 of them walked over. Super excited! Kali, Kelli, Maddie, and Mackenzie..... Watch out Los Al, here they come!

Getting ready...and veryyyy silly!

And then the walk over.......Silly girls!

Lifeguarding at the Amundson's Home

Mrs. Amunson was Kali's math teacher at McAuliffe Middle School. She knew that Kali was trainied as a JG so she asked if Kali would be willing to work her daughters 1st Birthday party. Great idea considering pools, little ones, and celebrations sometimes get too busy. That extra set of eyes could be priceless. Happy 1st Birthday Addison! And a little honor for Kali to be chosen to help with their special day.

Forever Young...Happy 21st Kristopher

Yes, I was a very young girl at the age of 19 when I brought this boy to the world. It was scary, it was sweet, it was worth every minute. Simply because when you have children they become your friends, your little partners, your confidants, your support at times when needed. Sometimes it's a simple compliment, or a little hug. It wasn't always easy...I remember the night I brought him home, I was so scared. He was this little being that needed me. He would cry I would cringe. This boy would change my life forever. But to this very day... I have stood tall for him. Keep up your hardwork bub, "salt to the earth". And stay "Forever Young". First day of Mommy-me Swimming lessons. Look at those little chubby cheeks. Look at my shoulder pads. haha.

The day he got his drivers license...... Look at that hair! OMG do I remember that day like yesterday.....

Kris at Kali's age. 14 years...He rode at this track almost daily.

Lets go back....

Every year during July and August, I start to wimp out when it's too hot at the lake. We've had the nicest weather in SoCal, and actually mild temperatures in Havasu...Kali is on a little break from soccer aside from practice. It's always a "should we go"- Today I say yes! I am working on a picture project and came across these...and I say yes~ Enjoying our pool...we actually stay in the pool well into the night...fun fun fun!
