Birthdays, Dance, Football, Soccer and Love

This past weekend was jam packed with Family fun. I went up North to visit my fam for my Dad's birthday. But it's never a trip with just one event going on. There's usually 3 or 4. This weekend we had a dance studio open house (the studio that I used to train at and now my niece Mackenzee attends), a LHS football game, 2 soccer games, my Dad's birthday, and then we had to race back to get to Long Beach for my sister-in-law's birthday breakfast. Whew!! What a weekend.

So it started off with us watching Mackenzee assist a hip-hop class at the Lompoc Dance studio. Noe loved the dance floor and threw a fit when we had to let the big kids dance.



Friday night was time for Dalton's football game. Not much going on during this play, but he's number 11 and we're so proud of him. After we left he got to play Quarterback and did great!! What a trip going back to your Alma Mater.

Then Saturday morning was Mackenzee's soccer game. She rocked it winning 2-0.

Then it was time for game #2...

Canyon's game. My nephew has become quite the soccer star. Look for him in the future to be kickin' some booty!!


After all the soccer games, it was play time. This is my brother's dog Kona. Noelani used to shy away from Kona pie and sometimes freakout a bit. As of this weekend, she changed her ways. She was giving her hugs, kisses and even going for a ride. Kona liked everything, but the riding part. She kept trying to roll over to get Noe off.

Saturday night it was time for my Dad's birthday, so here's our wonderful rendition of "Happy Birthday".

Grandma D and Me. Helping Dad celebrate 64!!


Sunday morning we were up and on the road by 7:30 am to get back to Long Beach for Patrick's sister Rose's birthday.

Then it was time to collapse and start all over again on Monday.

Noe time

Noelani loves her Daddy. That's for sure. Anytime she
gets to spend with him just melts my heart.


Hanging out on Lolo's (Patrick's Dad) lawn. We try to go
there once a week and Noe just loves to run and dig in his planters.


Giving us the "no paparazzi" face.

Front yard photo shoots

Loving my playhouse on loan from my fabulous Grammy Sue!





She's growing up so fast that we had to have another front yard photo shoot.



Blowing bubbles with Daddy.


Man, do I loooooove bubbles!?!

Mama's lil helper

Every night seems like such a fight to try to make dinner with Noe hanging off my legs always wanting to be held. Finally I figured, why fight it? She just wants to be part of the fun. So I let her play with the oven mitt and plop her on the counter while I make dinner. She loves "helping" and she gets to sample everything to make sure it's up to her standards. :)



Another beach day with Noe on the nose.
