This & That

Still working on our preschool program, Here's Jake with his panda bear mask. This week we're in China. We have a toy store and make different things for it. Jake accumulates money every week and can buy some of the toys, Save his money or Donate. It's a very neat concept. On this particular day, we were working on our project and it was starting to rain outside, and the loudest biggest Thunder hit. It seemed like it was right over our house. Jake jumped into my lap and wrapped himself around me. Sophie was sleeping, and the girl didn't even budge, which is very unusual because she's the lightest sleeper ever. My poor Jake. You were so freaked out.

Another project, today it was a Tiger box. You decided to keep some keys in it. You are so good at all the projects we do. Your scissor cutting skills are getting so much better. Your coloring is so good, you almost stay in the lines now. I'm so proud of you.
I think your teacher at your new school is going to be so proud of you too. You got accepted to HOPE Christian and start school in August. I think I'm more excited than you...I feel like I'm starting school too. : ) 

All finished with preschool today...now it's truck time...your most favorite thing to do. 






A friend of mine, Cara, came to visit her family in Santa Fe. We used to work together in L.A. So, we took a drive up there to see her and her daughter, Liliana. Liliana is 10 months old.She's a doll too. Sophie decided to help herself to the pool. Look at these bathing beauties. And, sharing too, I like it Sophie. 

On the way back from Santa Fe, both of you fell asleep in the car. When we brought you inside Jake, you threw a fit...as seen here, you threw yourself on the floor and wouldn't stop crying. Oh, the joys....






Then you followed me upstairs (still crying) and this is where you ended up. You fell asleep here. Dad tried to move you to your bed, but you weren't having it.

And, Ms. Thang...woke up in a bad mood too.
Tried to put your cool glasses on and you were like, "DON'T TAKE MY PICTURE, TAKE THESE THINGS OFF ME!". 

Ok, everyone settled down now? It's all good Mom, I'm playing with my trucks. I don't need a nap right now. Yea....right! 

And, I'm playing trucks with my Dad...so, I'm fine now. 

Our neighbors gave Sophie this cool doll house. But, as you can see Sophie would prefer to play with Jake's toys. I think I'm more excited about the doll house. I'll just have to get her some dolls and furniture for it and then she'll be into it. Especially when she see's me playing with it. : )

Until next time, everyone have a safe weekend. HAPPY 4th of JULY! 

Friends, Family & Fun

Summer Fun! 

We went to this new water park, actually it's more like a spray park. It was cute. You both had fun. Jake's buddy, Hunington invited us. This little boy in the green, covered the hole where the water shoots out, and Sophie was mad. You kept hitting his leg and grunting. Finally, his mother got the hint and told him to move. It's been in the 90's, so this place was nice and refreshing, perfect for cooling off in the summer heat.

Brother and sister hanging out on the stairs, eating crackers, waiting for Mom & Dad. We were on our way to get Sophie's hair cut. So, this is her 'Before' shot. 

SOPHIE'S 1st Haircut

Sophie you got your hair done girl. We just trimmed it all the way around, so hopefully it starts growing now. You were such a good girl, you didn't cry. You just grunted and made some crazy sounds, like get this cape off me. Like this picture below, you weren't crying, just letting us know you didn't like this. And you kept looking at Dad with this look on your face, like Dad, help me here. But with licorice in one hand and a lollipop in the other, you didn't complain too much. I love how your hair looks in the back, a little Bob cut...too cute! 

'AFTER' -- So perdy Mama

PARTY TIME

We went to a cousins surprise 40th birthday party. Here's Pa, Jake, Dad  & Sophie hanging out. Look at Jake's cool hat and Ms. Sophie posing for the camera. Dad & I left early to go to see Cheech & Chong at Sandia Casino. It was fun! Those guys are still funny after all these years. We said they had to be in their mid 60's at least. We had a good time.                          

One more shot of the hairdo! LOVE IT
