Best friends

These girls have known each other since before they were born (is there such a thing?). Well they have. They started off with a rocky relationship where Tamara was the little bully but as time passed, they have developed such a special relationship. They love each other! It is so sweet to see. I cant wait to see their frienship/sisterhood grow!

Karina 8 months

I am 8 months old today. I am growing fast. I can crawl like a soldier (military crawl) but have started to get up on my knees. I am all over the living room and I am starting to pull myself up on things. I like to find things on the floor and put them in my mouth. My mom has had to take two things out of my mouth over the last 2 weeks. One was a metallic sticker that nearly choked me and another was a piece of foam for a craft that my sisters left on the floor. My family has to be very careful with me because I am very mischievious and like to get around. I still do not sleep through the night because I like to cuddle with my mom and keep her awake. She is very tired all the time but its worth it because we get to bond. I sleep in my crib in the same room with my sister Julianna but I end up in a playpen once I wake up in the middle of the night. My favorite time to wake up is 3 am. My parents have put my playpen in their bathroom for those nights that I just want to stay awake, that way, I dont wake up my sisters when they put me back to sleep and I cry. Luckily, I only cry for a few minutes then im out like a light. My parents say I am adorable and they love me very much even though my sleep habits aren't the best.

Hiking again

We are definitely getting some good exercise this summer. The weather has been great for hiking so we have enjoyed hitting the trails for some fun adventures. Even little Julianna has been able keep up and hike the entire trail. What a trooper. Im so glad that my girls have these fun memories to remember with their family.

California living

You gotta love California. What other state can you hike to a waterfall one day and then go bike riding at the beach the other. I just love living in southern Californa. I dont think I will ever leave. I love the variety of activities that we have available. I feel very lucky to be able to live here.

More hiking

Now that its not raining anymore, we have been hiking almost every day. There is a lot of water on our favorite trail so this is the best time of the year to hike. It isn't too hot and we can still see the beautiful waterfall at the end of the hike.

Summer is here!

Now that summer has arrived we can now go out and hit the hiking trails. It is just too cold to do it before. We love our local mountains because we have the trails so close. Its a great workout and a great outing for all of us. We hike up the mountain to the waterfall and just enjoy. Good times.

Solana's baptism

Little Solana got baptised today. She did a great job! She looked so pretty in her dress. The day was beautiful! We are having fun watching Solana grow up!
