POTD: New Food

My Mom and I had never eaten at Pei Wei before but heard some much stuff about it... so today we took the kids and decided to have dinner there. It was so yummy! Mmm...

POTD: Going Home

It was a loooooooong trip back home from Calfornia... and I mean looooong. Here are some self portraits at one of our many stops... Chiracho Summit.

POTD: Knott's Berry Farm

Every April Knott's Berry Farm hosts the Fabulous Fords Forever Car Show... and we've been going going periodically for the past 8 or 9 years. We missed the last 2 years but decided to go again this year. It's a huge family event for us, where both sides of my family come together and make a huge crowd to go to the park the day before the car show. This year is was some 26 people or so.

It was very eventful, tiring, but in the end we had tons of fun!
Read about it HERE! And see more pictures!

POTD: Going On A Roadtrip

POTD: Snapshot of Arielle

Today I got to meet a wonderful blogger friend for the first time. Read about it HERE. We met at the park where her grandaughters could play with my girls... and for the first time Arielle stood in grass! Fake grass... but it was grass! LOL

POTD: Happy 6th Birthday Izais

My nephew Izais turned 6 today. He's was so precious and so excited about it. Yup... he was a Tax Day baby.

Arielle's 1st Birthday Shoot

It's been 11 days since her birthday and I have yet to post these pictures... but here they are.

With the help of my talented cousin Alexis (who is still in HS btw) we took my daughter out for her photoshoot. I did all the editing and I am pleased with how they came out. I was very tired after that little outing. Arielle was very uncooperative which is not her usual self.

It was a workout to dress her, put her in position, and then run over to my camera and grab some shots so I am glad to have had Alexis there to help out with the shooting.

I did various edits on these because I wasn't sure what direction I was headed in... plus I need a lot of practice on correcting skin tones... I am really bad at it. Any HHCC?? I could use it.

POTD: Rear Ended

I got rear ended today... nothing major. But the story is pretty funny. Wanna read about it... CLICK HERE.

POTD: Shots are NO fun...

Arielle had her 1yr check up. She got 4 shots. And she was NOT happy!

POTD: Spring what?

Man sure didn't feel like spring today! It rained last night and today and actually it was nice. Had we not been sneezing and coughing today I would have took the kids outside for a photo shoot.

Insead I just shot the clouds.

Kinda dramatic aren't they?

POTD: Drastic Change

When Arielle wakes up in the morning she looks like this:



It also doesn't help that I went to sleep early last night and Daddy fed her before putting her to bed and didn't clean her up.

But once Mommy gets a hold of her in the mornings she turns into this:



Isn't she cute? I love this little outfit she got for her birthday.

POTD: New Clothes

Diego's become quite the model lately. He's got so much new clothes from his birthday and stuff he still hasn't worn that he got for Christmas. He literally has half of the closet while Alayna and Arielle share the other half. 

So I made him pose for me in his new clothes before taking him to school.

He's so cool.

POTD: Bad Mommy

We took my Mom to a Dr. appointment today and this is a weekly thing. But since I know the office is small we decided to wait on a bench in the hallways so as not to disturb people when the girls are being loud.

Alayna was walking the hallway with her crying baby when I caught her doing this...



If she thinks that's what it takes to make her "baby" quiet down... she has a lot to learn!

POTD: My 1st Birthday Princess

Her party was successful as well. I am very very tired.

POTD: Arielle's First Birthday

Today my baby girl turned one! Although her party isn't until tomorrow, we got all dressed up to go to my baby cousin's party who will be one on Monday!

I am rarely in pictures but here I am.

Photos By: My Son Diego (Age 6) <------ He made me type that to make sure he got credit!

POTD: Giant Beach Ball

Today was a really nice day so after ballet class we came straight home and put Arielle to bed. Then I changed Alayna into her bathing suit and inflated her giant beach ball that she got or her birthday last year. (I save gifts when they get too many and store them for later... we have a few more waiting to be used including a Cupcake Maker!) She had so much fun running around getting wet.
