Father-Daughter dance at Gerald Ford

Channing was so excited for her first Father-Daughter dance at school.  

She had so much fun getting ready and using mom's make-up and curling iron :)

Derrick matched his outfit to hers :)

The theme was superhero.  Some girls wore superhero outfits and some, like Chai, went the "beauty dress" route as Chai called it.

There was even a cotton candy machine!

What a fun night for Channing and Derrick!

Gia's first visit to the dentist

Gia's first visit to the dentist.  She was a perfect angel the whole time we were there.  Everyone was in love with her sweet voice and cute curls.  :)

Hiking adventure

The kids and I spent a day (back in January) hiking the Coachella Valley Nature Preserve.  It is a perfect place to take four kiddos on an adventure.  We brought binoculars, hiking sticks, cameras, and snacks.  It is fun having so many cool areas to explore right around us!
