Girls' School Concert

Every year the children have a school concert. The girls like to be part of this event because they enjoy singing {even though, they aren't talented with pretty voices :o)} I love going to them and see all the children singing the songs they've learned through the year. All of us are proud parents!

Cada anio la escuela de los chicos tiene un concierto de musica. A las ninas les gusta ser parte de este evento porque ellas disfrutan cantar {aunque cantar no es un talendo que ellas tienen :o) } I mi me gusta ir y ver escuchar a los ninos cantar las canciones que han apredindo durante el anio. Nos hace sentir padres orgullosos!

Easter 2011

A friend from our ward invited a lot of families to go to her house for an Easter Egg Hunt. There were over 25 children in her back yard looking for eggs. They had a great time and afterwords everybody stayed to visit and eat some Easter treats.

Una amiga del barrio invito un monton de familias para ir a su casa para celebrar la Pascua. Habian mas de 25 chicos en su jardin buscando huevos. Ellos se divirtieron mucho y despues todos nos quedamos para visitar y comer. Ariana found a golden egg with a dollar inside!

After church on Easter day, we went to our grand-parent's house. Grandma cooked a delicious dinner for all of us. After supper we let the kids decorate some Easter eggs.

Despues de la iglesia en el dia de Pascua, fuimos a la casa de los abuelitos. La abuelita Kay cocino una cena deliciosa para todos. Despues de cener dejamos que los chicos decoraran huevos de pascua.

Spring Break

The children had a week off from school for Spring Break. It has been raining and cold all this week but Jer and I wanted to take the kids out during the days I don't baby sit. One day we drove to Issaquah, bought two dozen doughnuts at Krispy Kreme and then went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to visit and have pizza for dinner. We watch dancing with the stars too... it was fun. The next day we took the kids to the beach, picked up shells and played with little baby crabs. After that we went to the Southcenter Mall and ate at this cool restaurant named "Rainforest Cafe". Los ninos tuvieron vacaciones de primavera por una semana. Ha estado lloviendo y con mucho frio toda esta semana pero Jer y yo queriamos sacar a los ninos en los dias que yo no cuido otros ninos. Un dia fuimos a Issaquah y compramos dos docenas de donas, fuimos a la casa de los abuelos y cenamos pizza. Tambien vimos un programa llamado, bailando con las estrellas..., fue divertido. El siguiente dia los llevamos a la playa, recojieron conchas y jugaron con cangrejitos. Despues fuimos al Mall y comimos en un lugar que se llama "Rainforest Cafe".

This place looks like a jungle and has monkeys all over the place... every few minutes they move and make noises. Isabelle thought they were real. It was fun for all of them and the food was great.

Este lugar es como una jungla y tiene monos en todo el rededor... cada cierto tiempo ellos se mueven y hacen ruido. Isabelle penso que eran de verdad. Fue divertido y la comida deliciosa.

Walking in the Mall we bought some cotton candy and had fun taking silly pictures.

Caminando en el Mall compramos algodon y tomamos algunas fotos.

Isabelle had so much fun ....and sugar!

Sugar Crystals

Jeremy enjoys doing projects with the children. About 6 weeks ago they mixed water and sugar to make "sugar crystals". The kids were so excited to see and eat the crystals ( I wasn't sure about that... but Jer said it will be okay). A Jeremy le encanta hacer projectos con los ninos. Hace unas 6 semanas ellos mezclaron agua y azucar para hacer "cristales de azucar". Ellos estaban tan contentos de ver y comer los cristales (yo no estaba segura de eso pero Jer dijo que estaba bien)

"Boys Day Out Shooting"

Jeremy has a new hobby, "shooting". When I met Jeremy I new that he likes guns but I had no idea how much he "loves" guns and shooting :o) A few weeks ago Jeremy took Andre for a Father-Son-Day and of course they went out shooting. Jeremy tiene un nuevo pasatiempo, "disparar". Cuando lo conoci yo sabia que le gustaban las armas pero no tenia idea lo tanto que le encantan estas y disparar :o) Hace unas semanas, Jeremy llevo a Andre a disparar en su Dia de Hijo y Padre.

According to Jer, Andre is a very good shooter.

Sunset at Redondo

We took the kids for a walk at Redondo Beach. It was a beautiful summer day in the afternoon.

I love my two little girls!

The love of my life (sigh)

Water is pretty cold but, kids don't really care :o)

Wild Waves Summer 2010

As a Christmas present, Bill (Jer's dad) gave us season passes for Wild Waves. We went for the first time at the end of May. It was great! no lines, we went on the rides as many times as we wanted. The water park opened in June but still to cold to play in the water though. The kids love going to this park and it's only 3 miles from our home. We have gone on every single ride including the water park. Their favorite is the wave pool! We love summer.

Como regalo de Navidad, Bill (el papa de Jeremy) nos dio pases de temporada para Wild Waves. Fuimos por primera vez a finales de mayo. Fue genial porque no teniamos que esperar en cola y podiamos subir en los juegos todas las veces que quisieramos. El parque de agua abrio en junio pero aun muy frio para jugar. A los chicos les encanta ir a ese parque y lo bonito es que solo queda a 3 millas de nuestra casa. Hemos subido en cada juego incluyendo todos los toboganes en el parque aquatico. Su favorito es la piscina de olas! Nos encanta el verano.
