April

So this month has gone by so fast. My mom is still in Mexico and we miss her so much. Kennedy is getting more teeth and Avanti lost her first tooth!! It was two weeks ago. She told me her tooth was loose over the weekend and On Tuesday she handed me her tooth when she was watching TV. She didnt cry. She just wanted a Barbie from the tooth fairy. So of course, the next day. Jimmy only put $5 under her pillow and we went to Target and she picked out a Barbie (we paid the difference). She was so happy and we saved her tooth.

Disneyland... again

So this Sunday we went to Disneyland with my cousin Alfredo and his wife and daughter, my aunt Carmela, my cuz Letty and their mother in law. It was nice and warm and the lines werent too long. It was my niece's first trip to Disneyland so she was amazed! We had a good time and good lunch over at Tortilla Joes. Avanti's new favorite ride is the Pirates of the Caribean. All day she was like "lets go on pirates" Kennedy loves its a small wonder and the pixar parade. I finally after 5 years got to go on tower of terror at Ca Adventure with ALfredo and Letty. It was so much fun!!! I had fun with my bubble cousins.

Spring Break

Avanti is on Spring Break this week and since its her first official spring break we wanted to go out and do some fun stuff. Originally, we were suppose to go to San Diego but we didnt have as much money as we thought and we werent able to get a room on base either so we decided to make the most out of staying at home.

On Monday my mom made us breakfast (which was sweet) and we went to the Aquarium in Long Beach and did a boat ride. It was Kennedy's first boat ride and he had a blast. We tried out a new restaraunt called Rock Bottom on Pine and Ocean and it was so good. I had a bahama mama drink and it was bomb! We had ice cream at cold stones and then headed home. On the way home, Avanti started talking in spanish saying different numbers and words, and I was cracking up! She was like, "uno, dos, quatro, ocho, nueve, diez, sies, rojo, azul..." Hilarious!!!!

On Tuesday we went to both Disneyland and California Adventure. It was so crowded and HOT. We didnt get much done but we saw playhouse disney and ate at Tortilla Joes. Kennedy fell asleep for over 4 hours. He was tired!!!

On Weds, my abuelito Andres was in an accident and my mom and Chuy left to Mexico so I took them to LAX. The good news is that it seems like he will be ok.

And today, Thursday... we went to breakfast at Nats, Sbux and then Zuma beach. We had been to the beach before but it was Kennedy's first official beach visit. We actually set up blankets and towels and had sand toys. Avanti had so much fun. I told her to lay down so that the waves would go over her and she listed and the wave came and almost took her. Jimmy was holding her hand of course, but I was laughing so hard I almost peed. Best moment of the whole day. Afterwards, we went to the Navy base and bought some stuff and came home.

And tomorrow Jimmy goes back to work and I am just going to rest in the morning and then go do a little Easter shopping. I love my family.... they are a funny bunch.

Easter Pictures

This week on Weds. we went and took our family Easter pictures. We've made it a tradition that we take family pictures for Christmas and for Easter. Last year Kennedy was only a few months old and now he is 14 months and all over the place. Avanti is a lot smarter and is doing so much better in school. We decided to wear yellow for our pictures. We usually do plain colors but Im happy with the way they came out. Avanti is 5 1/2 and Kennedy is 14 months. Jimmy and I are both 26.

Falling behind

I have been slacking off when it comes to posting. Since the last post I've been super busy. With Avanti, she is still doing tuturing twice a week and dance. Kennedy is doing Gymboree and he loves his class. He loves bubbles. With Boosters, we've been doing a lot to raise money for the school. We had a fun fundraiser at McDonalds a few weeks ago and raised almost $1000 for the school. With Jimmy, he's still working and going to school. Our plan is to move out this summer so I hope it happens. We've been staying at home because we've been so tired from everything going on during the week. Kennedy is now walking and he is talking more. Kennedy's words are: mama, papa, dadda, ma, ati, mana, bird, buzz, bubble, tu, boo, he waves, claps, nods, and says yes and no. He also blows kisses and gives nice juicy kisses by sucking on your cheek. Im down to nursing twice a day so hopefully within the next month he will be off the boob completly. I will post up pix soon.

A Day at Disney

Last year and this year we've been going to Disneyland a lot. We usually do but now we got smart about it and finally got the pass in the beginning of '09. The kids really have a great time and you never get tired of going there. We went for MLK day since Avanti didnt have school and we went to the pirate island and went through caves, found treasure and just walked around. We also got to see the Princess and the Frog parade and of course, Avanti loved it.

Da Big ONE

Kennedy's birthday party was a success! We had it at Travel Town museum and it was Thomas the Train theme. We had mostly friends and some family. Kennedy was asleep for the first hour of his party but after he woke up he had a blast. We had lunch inside of a train caboose, played games, we all took a ride on the train and had a piñata for the kids. All the kids got a conductor hat and a red bandana and they looked so cute! I was so tired by the end of the day but it was worth it.
