{♫♪ Megs' 1st H.S. Orchestra Concert ♪♫}

Wowzers! Can it be? Now she's a Freshman in High School and Los Alamitos High School just had their first concert of the year! They did a WONDERFUL job and we're so proud of our beautiful girl! She plays the bass so well and we really enjoy watching her progress through the years! This is her 4th year playing and she's GREAT! The last picture is her friend, Jacob, that's been her "string bass buddy" for the past 3 years...the only 2 from middle school that are still playing into High School. We look forward to her next concert in February!

{Los Al High School Football}

The Hernandezs' and Walkers dropped the teen girls off @ the Los Al vs Edison game @ Huntington Beach High's new stadium last night and then went off to enjoy some LOVELY Mexican food @ El Ranchito (one of our favorite downtown HB restaurants!). Since Mike and I had gone to Buffalo Wild Wings with Curt for lunch, we ate a very light supper...so it was PERFECT! We then went back to catch the last half of the game. It was 13 (Edison) to 10 (Los Al) @ the half. Los Al proceeded to make some DUMB mistakes and poor plays and lost 27 to 10! YIKES! Edison is #8 in the COUNTRY though, so we didn't feel TOO badly. The new stadium is GORGEOUS! Nice place to spend a Friday night!

Tonight we look forward to having friends over for trick-or-treating and can't wait to see all the neighborhood kids in their costumes! We're hoping against hope that our neighbor, Rudy, feels better. He came down ill yesterday and Val is freaking out 'cause she has NO idea how he sets up all his stuff! So Mike is going to go over and help out! That's what neighbors do! But it would be better if Rudy felt better...he worked SOOOOO hard this year on lots of new stuff! Happy Halloween to all!

{The Beginning of the End}

And so it begins...

Wasn't it just yesterday that she was starting Kindergarten?

Wasn't it just yesterday that she was a "big kid" starting Middle School?

Wasn't it just....oh, CRAP! It's TODAY! She's registering for HIGH SCHOOL!

Time flies...the beginning of the end of her "childhood"!

I'm so grateful for every moment I have with her. Every time she kisses me goodnight. Every time she asks me for a SUPER BIG hug. Every time she yells. Every time she's obstinate. Every time she is.

We're so proud of how you're growing up, dear Meghann! We love you...Freshman!

Love,
Mom & Dad

{Welcome Los Alamitos High School's Newest FRESHMAN!! Class of 2013!}

{Meghann and Stephannie}{Meghann, Cassidy, Kendall}{Nicole, Meghann, Stephannie, Kendall}

Yes...it's true! Meghann has completed 8th grade! She will be starting HIGH SCHOOL in the fall! OmiGOSH! She's a beautiful young lady and is going to do a great job in high school! We're SOOO proud of her and all her accomplishments! She can't wait to take Drama this year as well as Orchestra. She's taking summer school to get her semester of Health (Freshman requirement) out of the way so that she can do Drama the whole year. She's always been a great actress with a super sense of comedic timing! She had fun doing all the church plays over the years and now wants to try something a little more "serious"! She has a beautiful singing voice and would love to do musicals! We look forward to MANY great things in the 2009-2010 school year both academically and creatively!

Congratulations, Sweet Baby Girl! We love you SOOOO much and are SO happy to be your parents!
