Lunch with Alex

Unfortunately, I only have about 1 month left of my maternity leave. So in the meantime, I am doing everything I can to just have fun! Today, Tamara and I met Tia Alex for lunch at Mijares. Its a tradition I would like to continue since I dont get to see family as often as I like. We had a nice time and Tamara talked about her Tia for the rest of the day.


Tamara loves her Tia.

Father's day

Happy Fathers day to all you daddies. I hope you all had a wonderful day. We sure did! We started off the day with my dad. We kept it simple and just had hung out. We then came back home and had a bbq with the compadres. We had a great meal as usual, 5 stars! The menu was about 7 pounds of Copper River Salmon, grilled asparagus, grilled corn, a caesar salad, lots of wine, and two desserts, cupcakes for the kids and a homemade lemon curd tart..... YUMMY Danny! Next time, I wouldn't mix wine with lemon!

A day with grandpa.

One thing for sure, these kids are so lucky to have their grandparents around.

Sisters

One of the best things about having two kids is seeing them love each other. Tamara LOVES her sister. She ALWAYS wants to hold her, touch her, kiss her, even CHANGE HER DIAPER! It is really nice to see. I hope this continues.

Last Day of School

Today was Tamara's last day of school. We are so proud of her! My little girl started off the school year as the youngest one in her class. This school starts pre-school when kids are 3 years old by October 1st. I didn't want to wait another year to start her at the school so luckily they accepted her at 2 years 11 months. The first few months were rocky with the crying at EVERY drop off. Then we began to get the "pink slips" saying "Tamara does not listen in class". But all of a sudden, Tamara took a turn for the best and began to do wonderfully. Her teachers would give us compliments on her behavior and her healthy eating habits. She was given the nickname of "the little mouse" because she loved her CHEESE and broccoli. Academically she did great. She learned to spell her name, learned her letters, the sounds, the numbers, colors, shapes, opposites, rhymes and by the end of the year was sounding out words and trying to spell them. She also made many new friends and learned how to share. We are very proud of her. We look forward to another great year at Sunrise Preschool.

Summer is here

As summer approaches, the summer activities begin. Today we went on a playdate with Connor and Madeline and went swimming. This was Tamara's first time in a pool this summer so she was a little iffy.....or was she? Take a look.

Starts off with a doughnut and a noodle.




Ends with Jumping into the pool.




That was fun!

Happy Monday!

Julianna has really begun to show off her personality. It looks like she is going to be a happy baby.

She will also be a USC baby.
