HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY O

Happy 7th Birthday O.

All week we've heard you talk about how your excited to turn 7. You started the count down 8 days before your special day. Your such a wonderful daughter always happy and bright eyed. Everyone who crosses your path you make smile. You love nature and helping out others. Right now when you grow up you want to be a Vet. I hope you keep that dream going you'd would be great at it. You have a huge heart full of love.

We love you so much! Please don't grow up so fast.

Love,

Mommy

Nap Time

X hasn't been taking naps for a good while now. During the school year the kids go to bed early so it made up for his non nap taking. Now that summer time has arrived the kids get to say up late and a bit later on certain days. Since summer started X has grown some bad manners. Such as talking back, yelling and temper tantrums gone wild. Any whoo while talking with the Hubby on what we should do, a light bulb came on in his head. Hooray! He noted that now during the summer he wakes up early which is normal but goes to bed later than usual. OK he as a point. Then he mentioned that maybe he needed a nap. OK lets try it. Wow I must say X is doing much better with a nap. He was hesitant at first but understood that if he wanted to stay up late. A nap was going to be needed. Happy Momma in the house :)

X's SAYING'S

It was time to pick O up from school and I told X to get in the car and buckle up. Lately he's been having trouble with the buckle on his car seat. I asked him if he was able to buckle up and X said "yes I did it". I said "X you did! Your growing up your a big boy now". X said "I know that's why my pee pee is so big". I was in the driver seat and I was shocked at what he said and couldn't find any words to say so I just kept my mouth shut and giggled quietly. Love your saying's X.

DISNEY WORLD

In February we went to Florida which we do every year. This year was special it was our last year of taking Baby Girl out of school to take the trip so we decided to surprise them with a trip to Disney World. I did tons of research and at times things were left up on the screen on the computer and Baby Girl at times would catch me and ask why that was up on the screen.  I would say it was just advertisements It worked. We decided not to tell the kids till we drove up to the place and the sign read DISNEY WORLD. Both grandmas join us on the trip which made it even more special. Especially when Baby Boy ran away and got lost for 5 minutes. It was nice to have those grandmas there to help with the search party :) Baby Boy was safe and said he went to go look at something for a minute. We stayed at a resort in the park and was so nice and convenient. The resort had shuttles and the stop wasn't far from the room. The last day of our trip ended with a surprise character brunch buffet which the kids enjoyed and was worth every penny. Enjoy the pictures!

THINGS THAT KIDS SAY

I say "O go upstairs and change for the day" O says "but I'm scared to go by myself" O says to X " X will you go upstairs with me to protect me from bad guys" X says " Ok".

TOOTH ON THE LOOSE

Princesa you recently had a loose tooth. At first you had no idea why back tooth felt funny while you ate breakfast. Then later during lunch we realized that it was your front tooth that was loose. I was so happy for you to have your first tooth loose.  I called your Dad at work to let him know. I call your Tia to let her know then that evening I called abuelita to let her in on it. Your dad called your other grandma too. I was overfilled with joy at the same time sadness but the sadness part I didn't show. Your a big girl now getting your Big Girl Teeth and entering First Grade in the fall. How did this happen so fast. Anywhoo that tooth took forever to fall out. Your father and I had a bet to see when it would fall out and no one won. It took two weeks to fall out and I made it fall out. By accident! While I was brusing your teeth I made sure to be very careful around that area but OOpps it came out! At first you cried and I asked "why are you crying" you said " I don't know" I looked at you and said "oh Princesa this is a wonderful day today the Tooth Fairy is coming". You looked at me and the tears went away.


I love you forever! Mommie

ROCK PATIO PROJECT

We bought all our supplies for the rock patio last year during the summer. Did we ever do it? Not last year but just two weekends ago we took on the task. It took longer than normal only because my husband is at work most of the time and the weekends are usually taken up by the kids. We started with the outlining of the boarder.

Then we sprayed the area with weed and grass killer. Then through out the week I added the weedblocker fabric. Which of course I forgot to take pictures. Then added the decorative rocks. Pictures to come soon.

I'm in the middle of changing my drab one towel bar in the master bathroom for hooks. While searching this is what I found love, love, love to luv ya. I probably won't use these hooks for the bathroom but might purchase some for decor purposes. All hooks from Anthropologie.
