My 40th birthday

So I am now the big 4-0. I don't feel any differently and I think I still look the same. Its been a great 40 years do far. I am very happy with what I have accomplished so far in my life and I still hope to accomplish a lot more. I have had it good.

Party time

So today we went to David's 3rd birthday party at Jump it Up. Tamara, you were as red as a tomato by the end of the party from jumping so much. You all had a great time. Karina, you were afraid of the bounce houses but I still took you in one of them so you could slide. You liked that alot. Julianna, you were all over the place. You kept asking me to watch you as you came sliding down the big slide. You are such a big girl now.

Gymnastics

Julianna, you are doing so good in gymnastics. You are on the CAT 3 team for 4-6 year olds. They are getting you strong and preparing you to hopefully compete next year. It's amazing how strong you have gotten since you started last summer. I really like this little team because they focus on conditioning rather than full blown gymnastics. This way, when you are ready to learn gymnastics tricks, you will be strong enough to perform them correctly.

Counting Blessings

Today was a very sad day at work. One of my sweet little 3 year old patients died. I can't help but look at my own babies and just count my blessings for their health. It almost makes me feel guilty for having it so good. I'm very fortunate.

Visiting cousins

Today was such a relaxing and fun day. Your dad had some work to do on our rental unit so we decided to take a road trip to Carlsbad to visit your cousins. We all just relaxed and gave Solana and Daniela lots of hugs and kisses. You guys played kitchen, played hide and seek, read books and just had fun. Hopefully we can see them again soon.

Soccer

So Tamara, we are off to another soccer season. This will be your first time playing "real" soccer with goalies, positions and keeping score. You are really looking forward to this because you want to win and make it count. You had a good game and you made it clear that you didn't want to play offense because it was too tiring (lazy-butt).

Meet the "Pink Pumas"

Karina's first Kidspace mommy and me class

Karina, you went to your first mommy and me class at Kidspace today. Your Abue took you and you had fun exploring, playing with the kids and sitting in circle-time. You were still a bit clingy to Abue and she couldn't stray very far away from you, but you did good. Hopefully these little classes will start to prepare you for pre-school that will start in September.
