Tamara's favorite breakfast

Tamara loves bagels with lots of cream cheese and Jamba juice for breakfast (lunch and dinner too). Today we had some time before school so we stopped by Noahs bagels and had a little breakfast.

Happy b-lated bday Uncle Jesse

Tamara decided to make a belated bday cake for her Uncle Jesse since he didnt get one for the actual day, exactly one month ago. So we got out her Scooby Doo cake pan and got to work. We even made colorful Scooby Doo frosting.


Hey, not bad for the first try. Its Scooby eating a hamburger.



Happy bday too you!

Tamara and her uncle.

No Marathon

Unfortunately this weekend's fires spoiled our Marathon day. The air quality was terrible and the city was forced to cancel the marathon at 4 am Sunday morning. Boo! We were all bummed out about it but were happy that Rosalba and Damian had driven down because we were able to spend some quality time with them. We had a great breakfast at home and then enjoyed indoor activities at Dave and Busters. The adults got to watch football & drink a brusky and Tamara got to play games and win prizes. Couldnt get much better than that. It turned out to be a great day!

The pseudo-marathoners, celebrating the thought.

Making friends

Julianna knows the importance of making friends at an early age. Here she is with one of her friends in her Pasadena College class. She liked his bald head.

Disneyland

Since I didn't get a chance to take Tamara to Disneyland for her birthday, I decided to take her on Friday afternoon after she got out of school. Luckily we have season passes so we can go anytime and spend a few hours. She had a great time and we got to have some one on one. She was a little scared of the Haunted Mansion that I MADE her ride but other than that she had a blast.

The carousel is probably Tamara's favorite ride.




Getting ready for Thunder Mountain. She liked it but I had to hold her so tight so she wouldnt flop around in the seat.



Tamara and Pluto




Getting ready to start drawing. We took a sketching class. Probably not a good idea for a 4 year old perfectionist. She got really upset because her sketch didnt look perfect like the teachers. We wont be taking that class again in the near future.

Historical Occasion

Whether you voted yay or nay, its a historical occasion. Lets hope he does the job.
