Showstopper Dance Competition Disneyland Hotel

sneak peek.

I got to sit next to these three dimples tonight at the Villa Park Spring game...

Yep its hard to believe that we're already to that time of year.  Spring football practices have come to an end.  It will be nice to have daddy back home on the weeknights.  Tonight was like the preview to the fall season.  The team looked strong and aggressive, mixed with alot of enthusiasm which always makes Dusan happy.  I know we will blink and the official football season will be upon us.


For now we will take each day as it comes... and start by enjoying the upcoming 3 day weekend... Can't wait to dig out my patriotic swag banners just in time for Memorial Day.

medley.

It has been a busy week... amidst the photos shoots, we had a few other events happening...Avery's second dance competition at the Pomona Fair Grounds.  Her group placed first overall...she shined and I was so proud of her.


Hunter's Spring soccer season came to a close with a championship title.  Bittersweet for sure.  We had the best year with the greatest families, players, & coaches.  It made those long practices and games so enjoyable every. single. time.  Blessed.



And speaking of medleys...Dusan & I headed to The House of Blues in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd last night to celebrate our friend's birthday... we got the privilege of seeing Steel Panther live in concert.  The best way to describe this 90's rock cover band is...an explosion of KISS, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Journey, and lots of Aqua Net.  It was a sight to hear and see for sure. I may have actually grew a little chest hair in the process.  Pretty impulsive for these two little school teachers to journey out on a Monday night like that.  Waking up this morning was a tad more challenging than your average Tuesday morning... 

I love this picture of us at the end of the night (2 a.m.) with the downtown L.A. lights blurred behind us. 

I am looking forward to this week with two less soccer teams to practice for and the summer countdown officially beginning.

engagement shoot: nick & vicky.

Not only was this a special shoot because they're my friends, but a chance to go into the empty Anaheim Stadium...home of the Angels!?! Who could ask for a better location for these 2 die-hard fans.  We were giddy.  All 3 of us.  I sure do love this little old hobby of mine...  

bella.

nothing.

we had an afternoon of it on Tuesday.  A break.  Cancellations of sports.  two kids crawled in bed and napped for 2 hours.  One kid watched Oprah and then Ellen with me.  in pajamas.  no rushing. no gulping down dinner. no screaming.  no hurrying.  just relaxing in the middle of the week.  heaven.

seahorse soccer.

This past Saturday night, Hunter & his soccer team had an opportunity to scrimmage (oh so quickly) at the half time of the Seahorse soccer game.  The game was held at Biola University.  The boys enjoyed playing on the turf field and under the big lights.  It was a fun excuse for all the families to get together to see a semi-pro game.  I see a few more summer time Seahorse games in our future.

a backyard soiree.

Dad's 65th celebration went off without a hitch... complete with Berkeley's BBQ, live acoustic guitar, and so many of our closest friends and family...



We snuck in a little gift-giving family time before the rest of the guests arrived.

Dad loved Dusan's custom cartoon card made especially for him complete with caricatures of all of us... Have I mentioned before that my husband is a "closet artist"? Not quite appropriate or politically correct-enough for the the World Wide Web but nevertheless...
hilarious. 







These cake pops were a hit...golf and softballs of course.  Delivered all the way from Lake Elsinore...I am determined to try these myself...too cute.



Dad's softball team Stac Pac has been together long enough to remember me riding around the fields with training wheels.  They really sealed the deal on this celebration

So glad my sister Lisa and her husband Frank made it down from San Francisco for the event.



May all your wishes come true, Dad!
