What an Adventure!!!!

East Coast here they come! Tatiana left for her 8th grade East Coast trip this morning in the weeeee hours! We were up at 4:00am this morning for the beginning of her adventure. Can you say tired!? She was so excited she didn't even sleep last night! 50 8th graders are on the way to Washington DC, Mt. Vernon, Alexandria VA, multiple cities in PA, New York City NY, Ellis Island, Boston & Plymouth MA, and more! 8 days of history and fun! They will be visiting many historical sights, shopping, going to a Broadway play, dancing on a boat on the Potomac, and just having the adventure of a lifetime!

Brenna and Tatiana meeting at the airport. =)

The four roomies....Brenna, Tatiana, Mariza, and Alyssa.
Woohoo they got their plane tickets and are ready to go!

Have the time of your lives!

Lily's and Bird...finished....

Finished! On to the next painting tomorrow...what will it be? It is always fun to frame the finished product and start the new assignment. Lovin' the painting more and more and more! Pick up a brush and relax...it is the best!

A Beautiful Day for Taxes.......

Not a bad day to get the taxes done. =) This is the view one block from our tax guy's office. Makes getting the taxes done pretty painless. What a beautiful day in San Diego!

Girls day at the mall.......

Debbie and I took Alyssa, Tatiana and Brenna to the mall today to shop for Brenna and Tat's upcoming East Coast trip. Alyssa was their personal shopper because the girls don't want the Moms advice on clothes....that would be horrendous! =) As you can see they had fun! Nice glasses girls! Afterward they went to Alyssa's house to hang out and then they all came over to our house for dinner. A fun filled day!What can I say about this picture....leave it to Tatiana, "Miss Comedian" to come up with this crazy picture!

Lily's and Bird.....

We started our next painting in art class. This one is a challenge...oh who am I kidding, they are all a challenge but oh so much fun! Our art teacher has been painting for 28 years and she makes it all look so simple...I've got a long way to go but I sure am enjoying the process. =) More to come on this one......
