First day of school!

Maya was a little nervous for the first day of school.. It was a new place, new teacher and new dress code.. She is now at the Temecula Preparatory and they wear uniforms..

At first the thought of uniforms shocked her but once she tried them on.. She was hooked!

Today my heart swelled with pride as I watched her off to 2nd grade.. It was a dream of mine for her to attend a school that had uniforms.. We love our school district and love that she has such an amazing school in our own neighborhood..

We look forward to many more happy memories at TPS..
Go Patriots!

Troop 462 at Disney

This summer the Girl Scout troop got to spend their cookie money at Disneyland... The day was hot and the lines were long but the girls kept each other company and the sights kept them wanting more...

We met up first thing in the morning and didnt leave until 10 pm!

Troop leader Angela had a great idea to have red troop shirts.. super cute!

H.ere are Bailey, Maya and Tessa getting ready for the parkHere are the girls as the wait over an hour for the log ride on a VERY HOT day.. we were all refreshed by the time we came off.. Needless to say we were soaking wet and enjoyed the drying off process..We did everything from ride It's a Small World to meet the princesses...

The end of the night would not be complete without a visit to Mickey's House!

The smiles went on all day and night..
What a great summer day!

Summer recap...

These entries are my attempt at recapturing the summer.. Part 1.

I don't know where the summer went? the warm weather is still here but school shopping and angst has already started... Maya has been as busy as her mother bee this summer.. from the day she got out right up to this final weekend..

School let out in Mid June

Maya and a few of her friends gathered for a School's Out party.. The theme was tea party so all the girls came in cute dresses and enjoyed themselves in the jumper..

Are these girls cool or what? The sunglasses added to the summer time fun..
That was just day one!

Happy Father's day!

Maya is all about her daddy.

This year her class hosted Donuts with Dad at her school..

She made him a pet ladybug in her favorite colors, hot pink, black and white.. She also wrote a super cute story about her dad where she commented about how nice he is and that he is as cool as a soccer player..

She's a lucky girl...

Life is good!

A friendly game of soccer

The Red Hot Chili Peppers continued their good play and winning ways..

The girls gelled and the coaches decided a Mom vs team game was in order..

The girls had a blast showing us their moves, keeping the ball away from us and oh yeah, scoring on the moms!

It was a great chance to walk/run in their shoes.. I think all the moms have a new appreciation for what it takes for these little girls to play soccer..

Soccer Rocks!

May flew by...

May is the most overwhelming month in our family. Not only do we celebrate moms but half the family is a Taurus! Birthdays in May include, Martin, Beverly, Ramon, Mom, Monica, Deanna and Carl! Somehow the month came and kept us smiling...

Mother's day celebrations started at school courtesy of Mrs. Silva's 1st grade class...

An inpromptu BBQ for Ramon's birthday led to a big group picture of lots of Galvans! Grandpa was happy to see most of his grandkids.. They are growing so fast.. Brittney and Nathan are high schoolers..Bev and Kenya are both home.. Maya is just thrilled to see her cousins Leah and Sophia since they are all partner's in crime and all things girl..

May Birthday's are always combined with Mother's day for all the ladies in the family.. Mom celebrated with her annual carrot cake and favorite cream cheese frosting.. Maya is there to help with the candles, just in case..
