Purple People Eaters

Fall is in the air and that can only mean one thing ........... soccer time agian. This year we have 5 of the same girls that played together last year and 5 new ones. The girls chose the name "Purple People Eaters". Which is a great name for them but made it hard for the team mom to come up with a banner idea.......and it just so happens that I was appointed the team mom this year. Hmmmm........ well if I do say so the banner turned out pretty good and the girls liked it. (that is all that matters)




The team started off the season with 2 wins back to back. They are doing really good considering that they had to play when it is still well over 100 degrees out. (I couldn't do it)

The season is half over now and the team is looking really good. I am very proud of Tabitha sticking with this and loving it. Even when she comes home and passes out on the floor with Tetris she still says she is glad she joined again this year.


Disneyland 2010

For Tabitha's 9th Birthday we decided to go to Disneyland in California. What a great time we had. We started our trip at the Santa Monica pier, where we rode rides and had a snack. It was pretty cold coming from 110 degree weather at home, but we had sweatshirts to put on.



We then drove to Venice Beach to play in the water and sand.








We stayed in a hotel right by Disney. Our window faced the park and at night you could see the nightly fireworks from our room. The first day at the park we hit Space mountain. Tabitha and Chris rode it and she loved it. She has to get that from Chris..........I am not a very good sport when it comes to riding rides.......let's just say that you could hear my screams all over Kings Island when I was forced to ride them when I was younger.

After a fun day at the park we headed back to the room to find a place to eat.

The second day it was Disney first then over to California Adventure. Tabitha had to ride space mountain a second time......I think she is hooked on roller~costers.















We left and headed to get something to eat at "Bubba Gumps" seafood. It was very yummy and a fun restaurant to eat.
The bext day we headed over to The Grove to do some shopping at The American Girl store. Oh my.... a two story store filled with all American Girl dolls and clothes. Any little girls dream and Daddy's nightmare. I think Chris had just as much fun as Tabitha did there.
On the way out of town we hit Rodeo Drive.......didn't stop.......but drove down it. Maybe next time we will do alittle shopping there! :)
