Locks of Love!!!






Kianna cut her hair a few weeks ago by our friend Christy and she suggested donating her hair because the length was just right.  Kianna was happy that her hair was going to be for good cause.

Now her hair is short and manageable. There are no more complaints when I brush her hair.  She also got a pretty pink feather in her hair. She'll  definitely look fab for her picture day on Nov. 2nd!

Soccer season

We're now in the middle of the soccer season and kianna's team is tied 1st in her league. Go team Mick's!!!! As for Madison, there are more balls that go out of bounds than goals. She has her moments when she just stands in the field but when she's in the mood, man she has a fierce game face!!

On our way to Victoria!

It's taken us 2 ferry boats and a 2 hour car ride to get to Victoria. We are in the last home stretch on the Coho. The girls are sooooo bored! Can you tell??

I can't believe I forgot to pack the video camera. ;(

We LOVE our SUBARU

Yipee!!! We got our car or should I say wagon! The girls are happy, Tito is happy, and I'm really happy!!! Thank you mom for being there during this exciting time of purchasing our family car. We love you!

the car

So, we've been carless for the past 5 days.  This past Saturday, Tito and I were on our way to pick up his shoes, a father's day present, at Tacoma Mall.  (I thought he was done with getting Jordans.  I thought wrong.)




It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and our windows rolled down, well one window rolled down, the other is broken, and our car wouldn't start.  We tried to start the car once, twice, and the third time was a charm.  It started but while we were trying to look for the freeway entrance to I-5, our car starts to over heat.  So we pulled into a residential street.  (I think I got tan just from sitting in the car) We wait awhile to have the engine cool down for about 15 minutes.  We start her up again and we're fine and made it home.  That was it.  Our poor ol' black civic is busted.  (YES! It's busted!) No more 2 door car. We went through 2 babies and 1 dog with this car.  I'm not sure how it happened and how we got through it but we did. 

It's been a pain not having a car and asking our friends and relatives for rides, it's time to get a 4 door car.  Today, we will be going to the Subaru dealership and HOPEFULLY we'll find a car that we like.  We want something like this...




... a 2011 Subaru Outback in the same exact color graphite gray and with tinted windows.  Ohh imagine the space in the back seat and the trunk.   Tito wants to put a snack emegency kit in the back.  Yeah, it's probably going to be him eating most of the snacks. Maximus won't have to be on the floor or in between the booster and the car seats of the small cramped civic.  Wish us luck car shopping.

College Bound


I'm finally going to finish up school.  I was accepted to the University of Washington and to the Health Informatics and Health Information Management program with the help of my Mom critiquing my essay.  Thanks Mom! 

I'll still be working full time and going to school during the evening.  My days for the next two years will be LONG.  Tito plans to get the same degree and he will be applying next year to the program. 

We may not be doing things in order: finish school, career, marriage, house, kids but we are making our own unique path of getting things done.  In our case, our kids can see what we can accomplish if we do our best. 

But we are grateful, Tito and I, for our family who supports us and to God.
