Rashaad's 16th Birthday (2006)





























Las Vegas to the Federation with our Mom











Mom loved Las Vegas and she went with Googie and I to the Federation of Eastern Stars. It was such a precious trip and she was not able to be in the sun so I would pull up in the shade and Googie would get her out the truck with an umbrella over her head. Rita didnt go she had stayed back. What a ROAD TRIP! It would be the last trip for Mom to Las Vegas. Always as I say take advantage of all moments.

Rick James wanna Be


This was at my cousin Mary's 50th Birthday Party. My hubby decided to put on his 70's outfit and be Rick James I think. It was a fabulous evening and I didnt dare put any wig on top of my Sisterlocks when they were only 6 weeks old.

Amaria Celebrating her 2nd Birthday



The Birthday Girl was born Januar 8, 2007 in her Ti Ti Boo Boo (Googie) Mustang. Isnt she a Blessing, yes she is. She weighed 2lbs 10oz. I was in Joplin Missouri at a funeral and could not
wait to get back to check on my second niece. Amaria looks like her Granny, Armanda Louise Dees.
















































































































Battle of the Bands Home Depot Center 2007 - 1


















We are getting ready to ride the Bus with the
Inglewood High Marching Band as Band Parents.
It was fun and although statistics say our students
are bad in Inglewood, we had no problem and the
students were very manerable which is awesome.
The jackets were made for us to look sharp



Battle of the Bands - Home Depot Center (2007) - 2







































I want to be the Drum Major when I grow up!
Field show at Home Depot Center in Carson
California and it was off the chain do you hear
me. I felt proud to have been one of the parents
and aunt to talented student from Inglewood
High School.







Battle of the Bands - Home Depot Center (2007) - 3


















Fans for the Drum Major Wesley who was
promoted from playing the symbols to the head
guy. He also continued to play in the Drumline.
This time Inglewood High placed 3rd. Any time
the Southern bands showed up from Georgia,
Inglewood High Marching Band stayed in the
race with them but would place 3rd. Remarkable
challenge considering the Southern Children start
when they are in Elementary. I witnessed that
this year in Arkansas when I saw Elementary Children
as Drum Major and playing Instruments. You see
one of the Judges which is the brother to Maurice White of Earth
Wind and Fire. I will think of his name later.
