Rose Court Try Outs

Angelica and Jennifer both went to the Rose Court try outs for the Rose Parade. It was a fun experience for them and they are looking forward to the Royal Ball in a couple of weeks.

First Field Show - Sept 11, 2009

Football season is here again and that means MARCHING BAND!

High school football may be the main event, but for band parents it's all about the band!

There was even a beautiful sunset that night when the band took to the field for the first performance of the season.

They wear jeans and their music club t-shirt for the first performance. The ending song is always the Alma Mater.

Time to go back to the band room after a not so good football game (at least the band did not disappoint. = - )

First Field Show Performance Video - Sept 11, 2009

The band performed before Back to School Night and, as you can see, the Station Fire is still burning in the nearby mountains.

Angelica and Jennifer are enjoying their senior year!

Looking forward to another great year of band performances!

Learning to drive!

Both Angelica and Jennifer are learning to drive! = - )

2009 Track Season!

Track season has been a little different this year... Angelica had shin splints and missed most of the season. She was well enough towards the end and finally was able to participate. Time to warm up for the 1 mile Arcadia girls.

Off they go - 4 times around the track to equal a mile.

There she goes! I think Angelica came in 4th for this race.

Movie Premieres, a Book Signing and Concert Fun!

Jennifer and Angelica went to the Monsters vs Aliens premiere.

First they took pics with celebrities.

And more celebritites.

A group pic with friends and celebrities.

Then they scored a ticket to the movie, walked the blue carpet and sang happy birthday to Reese.

Jennifer waited all day to buy Miley's book and then went back the next day to wait some more and made some new friends along the way.

Then she met Miley and her little sister, Noah.

The Jonas Brothers 3D movie premiere was fun and there was a beautiful sunset.

More fun celebrity and friend pics.

Finally a David Archuleta concert with friends and a chance to see Ashley again (she's the crying girl from American Idol).

David and Jason Castro pics.

And finally a picture with David Archuleta! = - )

Posole and Presents with the Lopez Family

We visited Angelica's birthparents and bio brother at their apartment. Rosario made a big pot of her famous posole - yum!

Time for dinner.

Angelica discovered a gift she gave a few years ago - it hangs in the hall. She gave another creation this Christmas.

Angelica also had a big pile of presents to open!

Another warm blanket and a pretty purple blouse.

David loved the Thomas the Tank lego set we gave him.

Time to go home - it was a fun visit.
