Dancing Queen

Young and Sweet,
Only.......Two and a Half!!

Our Baby finally started her First Dance Class. I have been waiting for this moment since she was born :) Dance is so important to me. It is a work of art and a valuable expression. I can't sing for beans, neither can my sister Kristi, so we express ourselves through movement. It is our Passion and our Life. I can only pray that I can give Charlee all that and more from Dance than I ever receive. She's currently enrolled in a Beginning Combo class at Dance Dimensions. They do Tap and Ballet in one hour. Their teacher Ms.Rachel is great! On their first day they were doing toe-heels in tap and tondues at the Ballet Bar!! SO CUTE!

For sure going in the Baby Book.....:)

Recent Life's Photos

At the end of August, our cousins Cheryl and Emily paid us a nice visit before the school year started. It was a nice relaxing week (and I didn't have to work :) We did happy hour at Yard House, a few trips to Golden Spoon, a trip to Huntington Beach and many hours by Grandma's pool. We always have fun when they visit, can't wait for Winter Break!!

Street Performers on the Pier. They were actually pretty good!

The Move- Yeah this is how you keep the child from getting in the way during packing. She actually climbed up the side of those boxes on her own! (with supervision of course) what a monkey!

The new apartment. Once again, mom found the skateboard, the marine hat..and Fred....lol!

The Boo Boo- after we returned home from the ER. A broken collarbone and 2 Popsicles! What a day.....

Quitting Job - -$750/every 2 weeks

Having a fresh start and chopping off 11 INCHES OF HAIR! - Priceless :)

Charlee was invited to a tea party at Olivia's house. They had a great time sipping "tea" and decorating cookies!

The Sweet -
We got accepted in to a 2bed/2bath fully refurnished apartment at one quail place! We moved in completely on Saturday and are enjoying having our own space again! We are definitely less stressed.

Isaac's last day at Spencer Auto Body was Friday. Sigh of relief, I now have a happy husband.

Isaac started full time college today. 14 units. He is very excited and we are looking forward to completing the next 3 years.

I got the job at Wells Fargo as a teller! At the Rancho Mirage branch, conviently located right around the corner from our house :) It's a 20 hour/week part time position in the day so I will still be at Ruth's Chris at night.

I enrolled Charlee in her FIRST dance class!! I'm STOKED for her! She will be in the Beginning Combo 1 class at Dance Dimensions. I looooove the program there and hope to have a shining star by the time she's a Senior.

The Bitter

Charlee broke her collarbone Saturday afternoon. You never thought Ring Around the Rosie would end in an arm sling. She will be in it for the next 4 weeks. It is hard for all of us considering we can't just slap a band-aid on it and make it better. She's doing well, but would appreciate all of your prayers for a speedy recovery. She's also supposed to be the flower girl in 2 weddings these next 2 weeks. Hopefully that all goes over well too.

The air conditioning on our only family car went out. Hoo-ray.

Our other car got a little boo-boo in the front of the car. Just when we were to put it back up to sell.

Because of the move in, our bank account is almost dry. I've been feeling nauses.

Now is the time when I will be working 2 jobs and keeping my family stable. Pray for my patience and the stability of our family. We will all be working very hard.


So yeah, that's the update. Don't have cable hooked up to the apt yet, sorry for the lack of pics.
Hope you all are doing well!
