Cheer Clinic

Millikan had their 2nd Cheer Clinic fundraiser of the year. Bailey had tons of fun and got to cheer with Jaymee at the Rams basketball game.

Balboa Island

Colby and I took the kids over to Balboa Island for a fun little afternoon. We rode the ferry over and even got both of the kids on the ferris wheel, and they loved it. We also played some fun games at the arcade.

Disney on Ice

My house keeper told me about cheap tickets through the Long Beach transit, so my mom and I took the kids to Disney on Ice. I think it was my favorite so far. We even sat in the media seats, so we had our own table for our drinks and popcorn!

Our Own Rock Band

Bailey and Raif both got new guitars for Christmas. They love to rock out with them!

Riding Bikes

Bailey and Raif both got new bikes for Christmas. Raif was hesitant at first, but is now riding every morning and afternoon when we take Bailey to school. Bailey is still working on riding without training wheels.

Pictures from Miranda Shanti

Do you ever have an ideal day planned, and then things don't quite pan out like you had planned. Well, these pictures from our photo shoot are kind of just like that. They look cute, but the day wasn't ideal. Miranda had these fabulous mini-photo shoots for 30 minutes, so I decided to have our family photo finally taken by the fountain. Something I have been talking about for a while.

Well, as the time came for our photo shoot, Colby was still not home. He is notoriously late, as most of you know. I started to get upset, and then decided to let it go. After all, I don't think he was intentionally trying to be late, because we all know that would just be plain stupid to try and make your wife mad. We all have our strengths, and punctuality is not one of Colby's. With that said, we did manage to get a few fun shots of the family. Next time, I have learned, I will schedule it on a weekend when I can make sure he will be home.

Here are a few of my favorites from the photo session. Raif is usually pretty hard to capture on camera. But, Miranda did a great job of capturing their personalities on film.
