9 Year old Pictures

Nine year old pictures.

Gotcha Day plus 8 years.

 We celebrated 8 years as a family today.  We went to a fun craft place and Lauren made soap and decorated a cake.  After the fun crafts we went out to dinner.  When we got home we ate the beautiful cake.  I had fun telling Lauren all the about the day we became a family.  I love you Lauren.

First Day of 4th Grade

Today was the first day of 4th grade.  I can't believe that my little girl is in 4th grade.  I am sure Lauren will do great.  She already knows that she is going to have to work harder then she has in the past.  It should be a fun year.

Meet the Teacher

Tuesday was the annual meet the teacher day.  Lauren was so excited to find out who she would get for 4th grade.  She wanted to get Mrs. Lester and she was so happy when she found out that is who she got.  We went to her new classroom and dropped off the supplies and was able to meet Mrs. Lester.

After meeting the teacher we went to order new Cherokee spirit wear and sign up for clubs and etc.  They had crafts and treats also.  It was a nice afternoon and Lauren is now sooo excited to start school.

Desert Storm Practice Outfits

Lauren got her practice outfits for cheer this season.  They are beautiful.  The pink sport shirt and shorts are so sparkly and fun.  The pink long shirt and shorts are so soft and the last one is also fun.  It is worn with just black shorts.  It is going to be a fun cheer season.

Summer Vacation - Day 13

On the last day of our vacation we went to the American Girl Place in LA.  We had lunch and looked around for a little bit.  We then headed back to San Diego to pick Grant up from a friend's vacation house before driving to Arizona.  We got home a little after midnight.  Our fun California vacation was over.  We had a great vacation.

Summer Vacation - Day 12

Our 12th day of vacation was also spent at Disneyland.  It was a hot and humid day and Lauren was a bit tired so we spent a few hours at Disney and then went back to the hotel to swim and rest.  We went back to Disney in the evening and Lauren wanted to stay there until it closed.  So at midnight we finally headed back to our hotel.  It was a fun full day.
