Easter Saturday

I think Easter is becoming one of my favorite holidays. We spent so much time with family and had an amazing day. Our day started off at an Easater Egg Hunt here in Pasadena. Nana and Dominic were in town so we went to Paz Naz and enjoyed the morning. The kids LOOVVED the event. They hunted for easter eggs, got their faces painted, played games and had fun in bouncers. The smile on Dominic's face was priceless. Later in the day we went to Annette's house for her yearly Easter party. As usual, she outdid herself. The kids had soo much fun that thehy didnt want to go home. They had an easter egg hunt, played games and had a blast playing with their cousins in the bouncer. This was such a fun day for all of us. I cant wait till next year!!

Spotlight award

Our little Tamara received a spotlight award at school today for being great in every subject. We are so proud of our little girl. She has sure grown up this year and has just exceeded our expectations academically, socially and all around.

Julianna's Easter Celebration

Julianna had a fun Easter party at her school today. Her teacher Miss. Minette is the best. What a great teacher.

Malena

This was a very sad day for our family. Our little Malena got sick and we had to put her down. She had cancer since 2008 and lived a nice healthy life until today. She got sick yesterday and just didn't get better. We gave her today to see if she would pull through but she just got worse and started crying. She wasnt able to get up anymore so we knew it was time. It was very sudden for us so that made it harder for us, but we knew we had to do it. We will miss our little girl :(

Mud Run

Today we did something crazy, we ran in a mud run. It was a tough run with more than half of it being a crazy hill. It was only 5K but it was a tough one, at least for me. It was my first run since before I got pregnant. I didnt train at all but I did it. Tamara even got in on it too. She ran a 100 meter and she loved it too. She didnt get as dirty as we did though, she came out pretty clean. So funny.

Baptism dress shopping

Today we went with Mando and Alex to Huntington Park to find a dress for Karina. We found the dress in the first store that we went into. It was so easy. Then we went for a nice lunch in a Mexican Restaurant, yum!

Beach day

We finished off our spring break with a day at the beach. I took the girls to Santa Monica to play in the sand. These girls love the sand and love making sand castles. The day was so nice. The weather was perfect. I could have stayed there all day.
