Tailgating with Mama & Dada

Ati went to the USC vs. Cal game on Saturday and watched the Trojans pounce on the Bears 35-0 in the first half alone! We left at halftime because the game fell right in the middle of naptime, but she had a blast going to campus to tailgate and then to meet up with cousin Nick at the Sports Arena.




She had lots of tasty snacks, had a great time people watching, and met some new friends!



She can't wait to go again!

Too Legit to Quit

Ati's new wheels

Grandma Debbie bought Ati this set of wheels to ride. She is a little to short to reach the pedals on it but just give her some time!

Wait...L.A. really does have weather?!?

We wish the weather would just make up its mind - hot or cold? Cold or hot?

This past week the weather has been really nice, but the other day when it was raining we needed to bundle Ati up to go out. Here are some pics of her in her knit hat (which didnt last long, she kept pulling it off!) and her warm boots (which she LOOOOVES to wear!).

Atiana the Artist

Lately Atiana has been starting to participate in the arts & crafts that the older kids do at day care each day. It shouldnt come as a surprise that she is very creative - I mean both her parents are artistic in their own right.

It's just a matter of time before she busts through the door of her mom's craft room and starts helping her make cards and scrapbook her own baby pictures!

Every day that she brings home a new creation, Atiana is just SO PROUD of her work! She likes to show it to everyone who will take a look and say "Ohhhh, how pretty!" She really appreciates everyone's words about her work.

Here is a picture of the black cat they made for Halloween. We will be sure to continue to share some of her best pieces on this blog with all of you!

Ehhh, who needs a spoon, really?!?

Checking in on Fantasy Football!

Summer snackin'

Atiana's got SPIRIT, how 'bout you?!?

Atiana's Grandma Debbie bought her a super cute USC dress and we just knew we had to go get pictures taken of Ati in this dress before she outgrew it.


















We are so happy with the way these pictures came out! Atiana has such great school spirit in every single picture! She's a real TROJAN girl, alright!

Trojan Family

Here are some pictures of our family last Saturday before the USC game against Virginia.

Mom and Dad tailgated all day but Atiana stayed the night with Nana Pat, Grandpa, Aunt Deanna, and some of her cousins. Everyone had a good weekend!
