Jack

by Kristi on October 29, 2023


We had our “Into the Woods” era this summer with Huston Performing Arts and then the high school performance after that. The kids are doing a competition in February and since they all know the songs, they are doing it a THIRD time! The music had constantly been in my head. Over and over again. […]

2023 Theater Banquet

by Kristi on June 17, 2023


This year was special as both kids were in musical theater together. Slightly bittersweet as this will be the ONLY year they will be at school together as G is transferring to a different high school. Beyond the benefits of Sam being the official chauffeur, they were in zero period Intermediate Theater and the last […]

I think I am sending my youngest to an overnight programming class at iD Tech at UC Irvine this summer! I’m so nervous about it. My daughter is now 12 but we sent her to a Girl Scout (Camp Scherman) summer camp when she was going into 3rd grade. It was such a great experience for […]

Yearly Checkup

by Kristi on May 25, 2016


We had our 10yo and 8you yearly checkup yesterday. It went well. My 10yo is staying about the same on her weight chart which is what we have been watching. For awhile she was going down so the hunt for the perfect amount of calories a day was quite a struggle. So the 8yo jumps […]

Sweet

by Kristi on July 25, 2013


    Not to be outdone from yesterday’s post… I love this photo of GG and I. He is looking so sweetly into my eyes, while he plays with my hair. This photo reminds me of who he is right now. This boy is so sweet, so thoughtful, and he is insanely curious. While he […]

Do you see this face? This is one of my favorite faces. It’s made better by the HUGE grin on his face because he is doing Taekwondo. We finally signed him up! Hubby found a Yorba Linda Martial Arts Center near our house. We had actually been to another popular place with Sam a few times. […]

Swim & Soccer Craziness

by Kristi on September 15, 2012 · 1 comment


Man, it’s taken a long time for GG to figure out swimming. We’ve been getting lessons from Sarah the last 6 weeks and something clicked. So we continued it for another month… I’m so glad we did! He put on googles, he jumped in… and in two week’s he is taking his survival test! We […]

I Haven’t Bought Your Ticket, Buddy

by Kristi on March 14, 2012 · 1 comment


This and other things that I lie about to my three-year old… I’ve talked about how we have massive potty training issues with my kids. They are both on a full tablespoon of Miralax. GG is on two teaspoons of mineral oil every day too. Potty training has never been pretty. Anyway. We are going […]
