Ground zero

New York in December is pure magic!!  Our trip was amazing, we did it all. The kids are such good travelers now, it was very easy and fun.  We stayed in Times Square on the 36th floor and had the most amazing view of the city. We ice skated at Rockefeller Center, it was the most fun - the music was playing, the beautiful Christmas tree and overall joy in the air makes it so memorable. I made reservations to get us in the VIP Igloo - it was great. When you needed to warm up there was an area to sit and sip hot chocolate and eat cookies before having more fun on the ice.  We toured Central Park in a horse drawn carriage, that was special.  We had front row seats at Radio City Music Hall to watch the famous Rockettes.  We saw the city from the air in a helicopter - it is such a great way to see everything.  We saw the Broadway play Aladdin, the kids were on the edge of their seats watching.  The shopping was incredible - everyone got something special, the widow displays were so fun.  The kids got their first ride on the subway.  We ate amazing desserts at Carlo's Bakery.  We couldn't of had more fun.

Halloween 2018

Congratulations to Ashlin and her pony Champagne Wishes on  winning .70 meter Jumper Champion!! Ashlin and Shammie had the highest total placings among a huge division in a total of 6 classes, against horses and adults. This was the first time Ashlin has competed in the jumper division.  Amazing!!

Fall Ball Fun for Westin

 Westin has really enjoyed playing fall baseball. He is very fast around the bases.

Our furry family members...

Our hairy babies... and introducing our newest family member...SMALL-Z!!

We adopted him and he is a love. I think he is a pug/chihuahua mix. He is 5 years old and 13 pounds. He is so happy to be with us. He sleeps with Westin at night.

Congratulations Ashlin Rae to Jr Black Belt

We are so proud of Ashlin Rae for promoting to a candidate for black belt in Hapkido Martial Arts.  She is now considered a Jr Black Belt.  It has taken 7 years to get to this point in her martial arts journey.  She does sparring on Mondays and weapons on Wednesdays along with her one hour training class twice per week - every week.  She can kick a 6'2" man in the face and can take him to the ground after that.  It is impressive to say the least.  She is an amazing young lady!

Soccer Champions!!!

Congratulations to Esportiko U-8 soccer team! Westin's soccer team went undefeated the whole season and pulled off the Championship win with a 1-0 score. Great job....add it to the trophy case.

Fiesta 2018

Another great year for Fiesta. Ashlin danced and danced and danced flamenco. Sometimes up to 5 shows per day for two weeks. Westin was a trooper and tagged along most of time. Cate joined Kevin and Westin in the carriage during the parade. Ashlin rode her favorite pony, Prince, and I walked (ran) with them.  The parade was on Ashlin's birthday, it was fun to hear every announcer on every block wish and sometimes sing her 'Happy Birthday". Ashlin's flamenco teacher was crowned the Spirit of Fiesta this year, that was fun.  Westin was able to squeeze a soccer game in as well.
