P & Q


Proms and Quincenearas!


I finally got to make a prom dress!

Lucy was asked to Mormon Prom LA by a boy in another ward 2 weeks before...so, we found a pattern she liked, went down to the garment district in DTLA and found a great fabric to use!

It took much longer than expected with all the pattern changes due to length, obviously!


but she is like a hanger, 
everything just falls so gracefully on her, 
she looked ready for the oscars really!

photos in the backyard :)

the peplum makes the dress, it was glitter head to toe as well

Her cute date Ethan

Dad lurking in the background...we actually just left them early. They do this whole red carpet walk down to the buses that take them to the venue but I think sometimes it is best to just leave teenagers alone and let them have their own moments. 
Plus, they didn't care, haha, so good on them!

she loves pink and it was perfect with her dress

After we dropped Lucy off, Henry was attending the Quinceneara for his friend Gabriella. He was the head escort. It is a big deal! He has been to rehearsals for all the dances since February, attended a full mass, photoshoots and then the big party.
 It basically feels like a wedding! 


She did a traditional mexican folk dance 

Got him in a photo, he was so embarrassed we were invited and actually there 
hahaha


my hot date :)

the food was all homade by Aurelia, Gabi's mom.
 I died over the fruit with pepper on it.



The party was at a ranch so she came in on a horse, she had cowboy boots on underneath her dress :)

They did waltzes and other dances, then family dances...we had to go dance with Henry and Gabi and the band introduces us over the microphone in spanish...we don't speak spanish sooo....
it took awhile to get the gringos up there :)
I think he will remember this night for a long time.
 He made good friends while doing it.
 I am very grateful Gabi asked him!

It is springtime here...the weather is perfect. 
I don't want to move again!

the girls decorated our chalkboard for Easter


and our front walk is blooming with statice...it is so beautiful!

Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:) I am a sports mom. Plain and simple. I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:) So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires.  Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:) Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans? Heavenly  Fall 2024 (he already looks different) Friday morning fits Becky Ruppel photography↑ In the middle of football season lies the beast of the high school basketball pancake breakfast. It was actually fun to serve all of the people coming through... even the complainers...haha Homecoming! And nothing better t...

The Milkbarn Path

Before fall came, Clay was determined to design and construct a walkway to the Milkbarn. Yay!!! Because we had a very narrow, shoddy (what? shoddy at the milbarn? *gasp*) ,  unevenly paved sidewalk to the front door which we knew needed a serious redo.  We bought the pavers from Lowes awhile ago and had them piled up in front of the house for months.  FYI, voles make homes under pavers.   Doesn't it look awesome ? Nice, wide, perfect curve and now easy to shovel when the snow comes. The curve looks just right against the angles of the house. I planted some tulips under the trees and near the front door.  I'm not holding my breath that anything will come up given my gardening expertise.  But again, I do believe in miracles. :) Truth! ! 1600 Sq. ft and going strong...and now with a pathway! I was trying to think of all the photos that have a pathway or walkway in them.  Here we are at the Fort Colli...
