BACK TO SCHOOL 2008!  

Posted

There goes my baby going to 2nd grade...snif! snif! YEEEH! after this all the parents were invited by the PTA for the "boo hoo! breakfast=kindergarten kids and "woo hoo!" breakfast for the rest of the grades! I thought the idea was so cute...



René and Logan getting ready to go to their class...you can tell they were excited...heheh!











The picture on the right is part of the cafeteria which is also huge and there are windows all around which face a conservation area, per the principal you can sometimes see deers, possums, raccoons and so many other creatures that I'm freaked out about...hehehhe!

















This year René A. gets to go a brand new school, pretty much around the corner from our house and we are all very excited...as usual daddy is involved in the PTA as Vice President...we are so proud of him....these pictures were a few of the many before pictures that were sent to us by the principal...isn't huge? For those of you that are not familiar with our neighborhood our sub-division is the one on the left on the aerial picture and we are approximately four blocks in....







BASKETBALL IS OVER....

I really tried telling him not to show his teeth but he didn't listen (hehheheeh!) yes, he is missing the top two... he still lookd cute...right? I can't wait to frame this picture!
The kids were so happy that they won their last game and that they would get to move on....René A. was very lucky to have a great coach and an assistant coach that showed him a few tricks, however he's still lacking interest in the sport...what can I say...maybe we should try it for next summer...for now we are going back to soccer...with "daddy" as his coach...


Sunday at De León Springs....a Weekend to remember...  

Posted

Sandra, Emily and Nela...having a good time in the freeeeeezing water...
My sister Nela had the cool idea for this picture...she brought the red bandanas for all three girls and took this awesome picture...from oldest to smallest Nicole, Stephaine and Emily...dont' they look cute?

Emily at Spongebob's house...she really thought she could go in...so this is her expressing her disappointment
needless to say they all got wet on this AWESOME! ride, René next time it's my turn... :(

Ok so the kids and everyone else but Emily and me...got on this AWESOME! ride...but that's ok I got to get on the Mummy, Jurassic Park and The Simpsons ride...hah! I don't have any pictures of those moments because...well let's just say my face was a bit surprised...hehheeh!

René in sugarland...I mean SEUSSLAND store....this store has sooo much candy it's incredible...yes I know not the healthiest...but once a year won't hurt anyone...heheheh!!!




Our brush with fame...  

Posted

no...they weren't really riding...but it looks like they were...
And...well of course René and Johnny couldn't miss out on this opportunity...








oops! who do we have here....THE CAT IN THE HAT! and Mr Grinch! you know we had to take a picture... YOU'RE MEAN ONE MR GRINCH...




ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE AND UNIVERSAL STUDIOS...HERE WE COME!  

Posted


My sister Sandra, René A. and my niece Nicole enjoying the ride...Aren't they a bit too big for this ride? Well I guess as long as you're having fun...that's all that matters!

Emily on the Merry Go Round...she was not scared at all and I was praying I didn't let go...now I don't know if was because of the medications I was under...but I actually got dizzy on this one...


This picture was at "Seuss Landing" and it is so colorful and beautiful that I couldn't help asking my sister to take a picture of us, as you can see it was impossible to get Emily's attention for this one...hehehh!



On Saturday August 2, we decided to (sorry "they" decided) to visit Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios park...the kids loved it...I on the other hand was pretty scared because for those of you that don't know I had "minor" procedure done in my mouth on Thursday and I had stitches and I was still in a lot of pain on Saturday and it was soooooooooooooooo HOT! I still don't know 'til this day how I survived....(thank God for pain killers) The things we do for our family :) but who are we kidding I had a BLAST!




MMMMMMMMMSMORES!  

Posted

good night....don't let the bed bugs bite!

and after a few more jumps on the trampoline...it was time to go to sleep

As usual...Emily just looooooooooooves to be around her cousins and her brother...so needless to say she enjoyed this "outing" as well....

Ok so....I've never done this before so I was super excited...some people would say I had a "sheltered" life because I wasn't exposed to doing "anything" outdoors...however, I am happy in a way because I get to really experience little things like this for the first time with my kids....René on the other hand...enjoys being the guide...




CAMPING ADVENTURE...  

Posted

On Friday night René had the great idea of doing a camping adventure in our backyard...mainly for the kids...we made smores on our small fire pit and René A. and Nicole slept outside in the backyard...needless to say René slept on the couch so that he can watch them all night

THE START OF A GREAT WEEKEND...  

Posted

what a team!
I am proud to say that it was René A's first time in a roller skating ring and he loved it! He obviously took after his mommy....heheheh!!
So last Thursday night my sister Sandra came to visit us from Miami and she was here for the weekend w/Stephanie and my other niece Nicole(=my sister Nela's daughter) so needless to say it was a fun exciting weekend, it started by René and the kids (except for Emily) going to roller skate...as you can see...when he got on the floor everyone ran the other way...heehehhe!! but he did pretty good
