She's 5!

Irelyn has been anticipating her 5th birthday for months now. And yesterday she finally turned 5! Irelyn keeps telling us things you can do when you are 5 and things that you don't do. 5 is such a great age!
When you are 5 you don't whine when you are hungry, you get to lose a tooth, you already know stuff even when people try to help you learn it, and you are not old enough to go on Matterhorn. That's about it for now. I'm sure she will come up with others though :)

WE LOVE YOU IRELYN PIE!!!!

Breakfast and tidepools on her Birthday. Excuse my tired looking face ;) She woke us up at 5:45!

The last day of preschool

Look at these faces!!! This is Irelyn and her friends, and teacher Mrs. May, on the last day of school. Irelyn will be 5 next week and then it's Kindergarten! Oh my!

We hope you have a great summer :)

Azarian Gymnastics Mini Olympics

Irelyn performed in the Mini Olympics at her gymnastics place today. It was soooo cute-- words can't even explain it! Each child received a medal and certificate and was able to stand on the podium and do "Ta-Da!" Irelyn was so poised and she concentrated and smiled the whole time. It is such a wonderful feeling to watch your child do something they love!

Sea World

I have 5 actual work days left and my mind and body are dragging. I have tons of gluing to do for the kids end of the year books which I may get George to help me with over some drinks. He's a good sport :-) Honestly, I can't even make myself write but I wanted to get these pictures on here. We had SO MUCH FUN at Sea World yesterday. And we got passes that we can use until the end of '09. We are hoping to go again soon :)

Apparently, you must always know where you are at all times.

PIZZA!

It is a huge joke around here that Irelyn doesn't like pizza. She always says she loves pizza and will argue with you until she is blue in the face, but then wants it without cheese or sauce...ummmm so she likes bread! Anyways, Costco...pizza...need I say more? and of course off came the cheese and sauce :)

Slammers

Last weekend, George's Under 16 Girls Slammers Soccer Team won the State Championship. This is their 5th State Championship in a row! This has only been done in the history of Cal South Soccer 2 other times so it is a huge accomplishment for the girls and for George. They have won each State Cup since Irelyn has been born so she is like their little mascot. She got a medal at the awards ceremony and you can just see her excitement in this picture.We are so proud of George and his team!

Now on to Regionals!

TK Burgers MV

We've been anxiously awaiting the opening of TK Burgers and through the grapevine I heard it was opening tomorrow. But it was today! So, out for burgers we went...of course we brought along some willing volunteers. :) We really enjoyed our meal.. it was so weird being inside the same building we used to eat KFC at while growing up. One of the women working there said the Grand Opening is next week. I highly suggest you go try it... the special sauce and secret fry seasonings are yummy.
