Our Father's Day Weekend

Sunday:
We spent a relaxing Father's Day. We had our friends/neighbor over for some barbeque and had the girls play in Briana's new pool. They had a blast, they spent all afternoon in the water, they just did not want to get out of the pool. It was a hot and beautiful day.

Here a few pictures of our day. Hope you enjoy them.

Saturday:
We went to our friends house to celebrate Father's Day. I have known them for a long time, about 20 years or more. All our families were there. We celebrated the old Cuban way, roasting a 45 pound pig, lots of Cuba Libres and loud music. We had a such a great time. The kids had a blast running around and playing with each other.

Here a few pictures of our day. Hope you enjoy them.

It's ready!

Finding Nemo Disneyland Ride

We headed off to Disneyland yesterday morning. We had won special passes to get a sneak peek of the new Finding Nemo Submarine Ride. This ride is great. Even better than I expected it to
be. Absolutely beautiful! The new underwater vegetation is gorgeous. I was worried it would be too neon and artificial, but actually, the added color makes the ride actually look more realistic. I really felt like I was in an oceanic aquarium or the ocean itself. The best part of the ride is when you see realanamotronic figures in the water interacting with the projected images. It makes the projected images seem much more real and less 2 dimensional.

Generally, it's a great ride, and it's much better than anything has ever been done with the Subs in the past.

Enjoy the pictures!!










Thanks for visiting my little place. HUGS!

Life with a Toddler......

Nobody told me how life is with a 22 month old. It is so challenging and exhausting. You spend so much of the day feeding,teaching,comforting, and chasing after your little toddler that you end up with little time to make dinner, clean, do office work, and much less relax. There are days my little princess drives me crazy,and there are days that she is so incredibly funny.

Today was one of the those drive me crazy days. Our day started fine,no problems, we played outside, did some errands, it was all good. Until, I had to return some client phone calls and e-mails. I left Miss B watching one of her favorite cartoons, Dora. Well, she came into the office and I saw red on her face and I thought OMG! she's bleeding. Nope, not bleeding.......it was just Mommy's red lipstick from her make-up bag. Yes, she is a true toddler now.

Here are some pictures of our day.

The good little girl, playing outside.


Just like Mommy!



Yes, life is good with a toddler.

Mother's Day

I had a good and fun day today. We barbeque some chicken and ribs. Had some yummy potato salad and my mother-in-law made a flan (my favorite). We played a lot with Briana, boy that girl can hang! She did not take a nap til 6pm and up at 6:45pm! We watched the movie Night at the Museum. When In-laws left I was able to do some scrapping, while George watched Briana downstairs so I can have some peace, at least for a little while.

I could not ask for a better day. I hope everyone has had a Happy Mother's Day.

Our little Artist

I'm such a bad blogger. I can't believe how fast the days have gone by. Nothing much has been happening in our household. So I thought,I would share Briana's new passion. Painting and coloring. She is finally becoming a little less active, which is good, well at least I think is good for me. She is finally learning to sit and watch cartoons. She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doodlebops, Dora, Wonder Pets, and Backyarigans. These are just a few of her absolute favorites.

Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.

Oh,No! This is just not right! (my favorite picture)


The finished masterpiece

My Maternal Grandmother

Today is my Grandmother's 92ND Birthday!

Even though she says she is only 15. LOL!

I can not believe how great she looks for her age. She is super healthy and very active lady. She does everything herself, she is a very gracious, loving lady.



Love you, Grandma!!
