My babies

After booster-seat shopping, we sat out in the front lawn and my babies enjoyed each other's company. The girls love hanging out with each other. It is so nice to see them develop their cute relationship.

Bye Bye Car Seat

This day couldn't come any sooner for Tamara, the day she could get rid of her car seat. I have not known any kid who hated their car seat as much as Tamara. Luckily, now that she is 4 (and almost 40 pounds), we went ahead and bought her a booster. Little does she know, this booster is similar to a car seat in that she still has to use the 5 point harnest, but we wont let her know that. All she needs to know is that she now is old enough for a booster and she will be in it for a long time.

One of only 3 visits to Babies R Us in the last 4 years.

Pumpkin Patch

Sofia spent the afternoon and evening with us so we all decided to go to our local pumpkin patch and pick out a few pumpkins. The girls had so much fun looking at the ghosts and goblins. They even went into the haunted house all by themselves.


So cute!

Cousins

A nice thing about special occasions is that Tamara's cousins come from Hanford and stay at our house, so Tamara and Julianna get to spend some quality time with them. Today we had a little photo shoot in our backard.

Happy Birthday Tamara!

Today was Tamara's 4th birthday party. Several months ago, I named off many birthday themes for this year's bday party and once again, she chose her favorite, Scooby Doo. Yes, last year's party was also Scooby Doo so this year's party was a little different... A Scooby Doo Mystery Party. After the party had started, the Birthday Phantom stole Tamara's birthday presents and the kids goody bags. The kids spent the day searching for clues to that would lead them to the presents and goody bags. I was a little nervous about how this mystery would work since the kids were so small but they all seemed to get it. I kept getting asked "when are we finding the next clue?" It was so cute. The party was a great success and everyone had fun, especially Tamara.




So happy!





Even had a Scooby Doo Bouncer

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

One thing that Tamara loves is musicals and plays. She has now been to a total of 4 plays in her lifetime and has enjoyed them all. Today, we went to see "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown". Of course, Tamara's favorite character was Linus. As you can see, they have something in common, the BLANKET and the thumb. It was so cute. Tamara wanted to take a picture with her favorite character. Take a look.

Happy Birthday Valentina!

Valentina turned a whopping one year old today. Wow, how time flies. Tamara and Julianna had such a great time at her birthday party. Sorry it rained, it was still fun.
