First Day of Kindergarten and 3rd Grade!!

Wasn't I just posting pictures of Cydney's first day of Kindergarten on Facebook? It sure feels like it!!

Today was Lilly's first day of Kindergarten and Cydney's first day of 3rd Grade!! Lilly was SUPER excited as was Cyd but they definetely show their emotions in different ways.. For Lilly that involved JUMPING out of bed and rushing around trying to get everything done all while jumping and squeeling. Cydney just smiles a lot. Haha

Lilly's teacher is Mrs.Compton which we are very excited about because we have become friends with her over the past couple years since Cyd was in first grade! She even went to see Eclipse w/ me. lol

Cydney is in a 3rd/4th grade combo class this year. I didn't get to meet her teacher today but this will be her first year having a male teacher, Mr. Anderson! I think the combo class will be interesting and Good for her! She is such a smart girl and we hope she will learn a lot!

Here's to a new school year!

World Of Color

Tuesday night we took the kiddo's to see World of Color at Disneyland. I cannot express to you how Absolutely AMAZING this show is. It is worth going alone! We were able to sit in the VERY front row so that Gabriella could be away from people, wear our Minnie Ponchos, get soaked and have an absoulutely wonderful time!!!

Visit to the Vegas and So CA!

Hmmm I think I LIKE the way that sounds... but maybe that is just me personally! ;)

Saturday afternoon I drove down to Loma Linda to visit the Paul, Kristi, PJ and Gabriella for the first time since her surgery, With all 3 girls in Tow!!!!

Sunday we had a good old sleepover for the girls, Complete with makeovers, a fashion show, wii and and Tent!

Monday we went to the Splash Pad! Bella wasn't much of fan, but what IS she a fan of these days! The older kids (and moms!) had a blast!

Tuesday we got up and headed to Anaheim! We got there about lunch time and Kristi went and picked up our picnic lunches for World of Color that night! We walked back over to dland park, sanitized a table and dug in. After that we went to see Minnie and the Princess'. I was SO excited for Bella to meet Minnie... as was she... Until she rounded that corner! She was super freaked!! Hmm... I guess we just wait to see when she is a little older! lol After that we checked into our hotel. Rested a bit, Caught the Street Party before eating dinner at Tomorrowland Terrace. One of my FAV places there :) While We ate the girls rocked out to their dance party! :) Then we headed over to CA and the girls shook their groove thang some more at the Glow Fest they have going on over there! Then it was time for WORLD OF COLOR!

Wednesday we slept in... Well everyone but Bella and I did. Then we had lunch at La Brea Bakery in Downtown Disney. I also shopped for some things for Missa and Nic's wedding. :) Then we headed out to Beverly Hills. We got a little side tract ed on the way... We decided to go find Kellan Lutz' (Emmett in Twilight) house. We knew the street because he mentioned it on the Bonnie Hunt show. We found it and were taking a couple pictures when his head popped up from behind the front fence!! Ahh! We screamed a little and drove off. Too chicken to do anything else ;) lol.

From there we headed to Sprinkles Cupcakes and Crumb Bake shop in Beverly hills to have a "cupcake off". We got our competitors and got the kids some dinner and went to a local park to let them run off some steam. Hmm. Sprinkles vs Crumb. EQUAL! just DIFFERENT! There were things I Loved about BOTH. Sadly I left the rest of mine at Kristi's!! :(

All it all it was a wonderful time spend with awesome friends. When we left thursday evening... Lilly started BAWLING, "I'm going to miss them!" :) Little Besties are starting to "get it" more and more. Hopefully we can return soon... Love you so much Vega Family! Thank You for EVERYTHING!!

Swimming Lessons

The girls finished swimming lessons yesterday for this year! Cydney was a minnow, Lilly a Seahorse and Bella a Turtle. Both older girls did awesome! Bella was not so fond of her class... She LOVES water and swimming but it was right at nap time so that didn't work out so well!! The girls and I also made a new friend. A little girl from Lilly's class also named Bella and her mom Heather! It was awesome spending some time with them this week! Here are some pictures of the girls yesterday on their last day!

Name Change!!

A few weeks ago I was contemplating a "name change" on twitter. I took polls of what people thought it should be and ended up settling on @Faithtrustpdust

Faith Trust Pixie Dust is what it stands for. Now unless you have never seen Peter Pan you probably have no clue what I'm talking about!! Now obviously I'm not talking about flying lol but something about this just really touched me. This kind of describes my life.

I get through everyday with my FAITH in God... Let alone Faith is my middle name that I adore. Trust is something that I have struggled with previously, but without it, life wouldn't be true and it is something I value DEEPLY. Lastly, Pixie Dust. Yes I know this isn't real, but really isn't life full of magic here and there? This represents sooo many things to me! I don't know what I would do sometimes if I didn't have something "magical" to take me from reality. Obviously this also demonstrates my love for Disney and TINK!!

So I decided to continue with the name change and also apply it to my blog~ I feel like it fits ME and hope you like the change! :D

Some New Additions

So Last week we aquired 2 little TEENY black kittens! After much consideration and thought we decided to give them a try since none of our allergies have gotten any better since getting rid of cats. We are pretty sure it is mold and having an old house but that's a different story!

Their final names (I think) Are Hurley (blue collar) and Figaro (red collar). The girls just adore them. They have been a little difficult to get healthy and adjusted because they are SO young and were infested with fleas and parasites when we got them. But after a good vet checkup, some meds, baths and diet changes they seem to be adjusting well!! Here are some pictures of our new family members!
