Mom & Me Slumber Party

In early December ('08) Girl Scouts offered a Mom and Me Slumber Party event in Carlsbad. We had a great time and were able to go see The Nutcracker, play games, make crafts, watch movies and we even got to take a river cruise along the Pecos to see all of the Holiday lights.

In addition to having a great time with my daughter I had a fabulous time with two of the moms in my GS troop...Nicole and Maria. Little did we know that the Slumber Party would be the beginning of a great friendship!

Moms and girls after the river cruise:

Maria & Lizzie, Me & Detroit, Melissa (I was her fill-in mom), and Nicole & Briana

No Christmas scene is complete without reference to Roswell aliens!

One of the events of the night was a fashion show. The mothers had to help the daughters make a lovely outfit out of wrapping paper. It was a lot of fun...and some of the outfits turned out really cute. Here is Detroit modeling her beautiful gown:

During this trip, the girls really hit it off. Detroit loves her GS friends!

Jared and Tiesha have been married for 17 1/2 wonderful years. Jared thinks Tiesha is awesome and incredibly funny. They have three great kids and live in ROSWELL, New Mexico.

Jared has opened his own law practice (Kallunki Law, P.C.), and is extremely busy!!! He does a little bit of everything, but mostly family law and criminal law. Tiesha is a Reading Coach at Washington Avenue Elementary and gets to work with the K-3 teachers and students. She loves her job! In her few moments of spare time, she is a Jazzercise instructor. She spends her spare time thinking about updating her family blog and looking at her poster of Edward (it never gets old!).

Detroit is ELEVEN years old, and getting ready to finish the fifth grade. She still loves to read more than anything. She also enjoys tuning out her parents and her brother when she reads. She is a great big sister, and loves teaching Joaquin how to howl, growl and snarl. She is especially good at making Joaquin laugh and smile, and sometimes she will even let him hold her toys. She enjoys playing basketball and soccer and going to Girl Scouts. Detroit has a very kind heart, and lots of great friends. She is still obsessed with animals and enjoys pretending to be a dog (or a wolf, or a coyote).

We found Lunchie while living in Tuscaloosa. She was a kitten trapped in a deep window well on the University of Alabama campus. I brought her home and Detroit (who was then 3) named her. She is a wonderful, but weird, kitty. Lucky for her that she has nine lives since she has already used some of them (head stuck in between chair slats, jumping on the stove while it was on, getting stuck in a room for four days with no food or water, leaping off a second story balcony and hitting tile, eating lots of fake plants until they all created a giant plastic ball in her tummy...), but she seems to be learning her lesson. (We hope.) Her favorite thing to do is follow Tiesha around the house, and flop on the floor the second Tiesha looks at her.
