Dilan and Noah came over first!

Some of Eliot's FAVs came over - Stanton, Matthew and Jace

Eliot chose InJustice2 with one of his giftcards...they played it aaaaall night.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Concert

I love Tom Petty, so Mom took me!  We missed Dad and Eliot, but they didn't want to come with us.

Snacks Ready!

What a GREAT DAY!! School of Rock End of Summer Shows

Getting ready to go on at 11!

Jes is such a good drummer

Pinapple Power - Rock 101, Summer band's last performance

Schlepping in the birthday gear.

Such an incredible venue!

Jesse and Eliot's first SOR camp teacher to the left (Dr. Luke) and Ian, Jesse's current drum teacher to the right...helping us bring in Eliot's birthday treats!

Jes watching the house band...dreaming of when he gets older...he can't wait (3 1/2 years until he can try out, if invited).

The room Eliot's cast plays in from 5-6:30

Three generations

Our friends, the Englishs, across the street - for over 10 years.

Cheryl (Mom's friend for 40 years!) and Eliot's first babysitter & Melinda (Stanton's Mom)

Eliot's best friends (and his little brother) :)

We had a little surprise birthday celebration for Eliot's 12th birthday.

Uncle Landon has been friends with Carol since elementary school!  They are both 47.  Bill Terry is Carol's hubby.  He is a professional trombone player...they really enjoyed the show!

My friend Laura posted this short video.

Jesse is so inspired by the older musicians...When he gets home, he teaches himself songs and learns from Eliot.

School of Rock Tustin's Black Sabbath Cast is finished with Summer season.  Eliot is on to the Corporate Rock cast.

Off they go...#mybabies #sortustin #jamminjesse @et_guitar

When you go to a street fair, hear cool music, find it, and your ol' @schoolofrock_tustin teacher is in the band! Yay! Steve Clar!

He made me the happiest woman on Earth. He made me a Mommy. He is wise beyond his years and the most Zen child I've ever known. I can't imagine life without our prince. #angelicel
