Tuesday was Rene's end of year party...he was very excited but also a bit sad because he knew it would be the last time he would see a lot of his friends and his favorite teacher Ms. Price. René will be going to a new school next year and even though there are a few friends that are moving with him there are a lot that are not...but he is a big boy now and he just made the best of this fun day...he wanted a picture with Ms. Price and he got it!Tuesday was Rene's end of year party...he was very excited but also a bit sad because he knew it would be the last time he would see a lot of his friends and his favorite teacher Ms. Price.

Pretty neat huh!...
I really meant the smoke behind him not him...heheh!This is a very cool video, a bit loud but pretty amazing...
Wow...this looks pretty interesting...
Close Out Crew in White jumpers waiting for shuttle to launch...
After the soccer game René and René A. were invited by a friend to go see the shuttle launch this friend works for NASA and he has access to go all the way were the coundown is... it was an amazing experience for both of them, for the first time they got to see the shuttle launch this close...this picture is from the area they were waiting and that's the Astro-van that drives the astronauts to the shuttle!
Game was over shortly after this...the kids were very excited to get out of the sun!
Even though it was HOT "again" she was a good sport she didn't want to have anything to do with the game but as long as I kept giving her cheerios she kept posing for the camera so we had a good deal going on...
Saturday was our last Soccer game and boy was it HOT! I have no idea how they survived and Scored! This picture was at the begining of the game our team is the green team (Vipers). 
René A. playing with his friend Colin having a good time making the line to get on one of the bounce houses...
So we went inside the school to cool off and who did we find? You guessed it! the school mascot, Emily was pretty happy to see the Eagle from far but as he got closer she got really shy...but she still said hello...
With all the people running around there weren't many places that were safe enough for little Emily to actually walk around, so I took her all the way to the other side of the school away from "savages" hehheeh! and let her walk and run and dance and model...
Never too busy to take a picture with Emily...now let me tell you she was such a good sport, it must've been 90 degrees outside and she didn't complain she just sat there sweating but enjoying all the activities and attention.
René is one of the 3 Vice Presidents of the PTA for the new school and he was in charge of promoting the new school as well as selling t-shirts ...it was very nice, we got to know who was going with us to the new school and who was staying. I do have to say René is always involved in one way or another with the school the community and anything else he can get his hands on...Yes we are VERY proud of him... 
But definitely not for anyone in our family! it look very nice...
This past Friday was Family Fun Night at René A. School, there were a lot of activities for the family from bounce houses to rock climbing, games and food... it was also a very special event because this is Rene's last year at this school they are building a new school right around the corner of our house and well that will be "hopefully" where he will attend for the rest of his Elementary life...
This one was today...René A. was doing his homework and Emily loves to pretend she is doing the same...so he stood next to her to hug her he couldn't help himself...I don't blame him...
Emily was singing the I love you song from Barney (FYI---she is not a Barney fan) anyway towards the end of her song René A. chimed in and she was not too happy about that...enjoy...
Anyone that sees this picture would think that he did all the work...well he didn't! I was pregnant for 18 months! yes 9 with René and 9 with Emily and then I went thru 48 hours of labor and well....ok I KNOW it was 2 years ago with Emily and 7 years ago with René but I think that is more than what he did on Sat. Sun. and Monday and every weekend...heheheh!!!
Or if to play! She chosse to do both...but after all that, a good shower is all she needed then it was it was all "sweet dreams"
Daddy decided to BBQ his favorite burgers straight from the box of OmahaSteaks...hehheeh!!! René A. was the first one to sit at the table outside and patiently waited for us...
On Monday we were suppose to go to a Memorial Day parade in Sanford, instead we decided to sleep in and enjoy this day at home (we were really beat from the day before) the kids jumped as much as they could on the trampoline...René A. kept doing what he calls "popcorn" with Emily, the idea is that she sits on trampoline and he jumps as high as possible so that she goes out flying when he lands...(thank God for the net!) heheheh!!!
Yes I am aware that the picture is a bit fuzzy, but it's a cute picture...
This sign is on every table in the restaurant and you leave it like that when you want the waiter to keep moving...when you need something you just flip the sign over and it says "stop Forrest Stop" just like the movie...it's pretty cute....
We decided to eat at the Bubba Gump restaurant...for those of you that haven't seen the movie Forrest Gump (I don't think I know anyone that hasn't seen this movie)this restaurant was built in honor of this movie...anyway...while we waited to be seated René A. wanted to take a picture with his "eagle" by the beach...doesn't he look cute? I think so...
After leaving the Springs we decided to grab a bite to eat in Daytona...it's about 1/2 hour away...so we drove on the beach, which was pretty cool...there aren't many beaches where you can go and drive on the beach with your family in the car...so that was nice...the kids were sleeping so it felt like "our" little moment of peace!
Yes, I know my hair looks horrible! but as long as I made you laugh (at me) then my job is done...heheh! Behind me you can see the other side of the spring. you are not allowed to swim on this side it's called the "wild" side, but you can fish, take a tour in one of their boat tours or rent your own raft and cruise around...we didn't do any of that, there was not enough time, but hopefully we can come back soon....
I had to take Emily out of the water because her lips were turning purple...but she was still smiling...and really enjoyed watching how everyone else was freezing...heheheh!!!
René A. and René had fun snorkeling for rocks and shells...they really had a blast...
This water was sooooo cold I am a ashame to show this picture....I may get arrested for letting the kids go in....hahhaha!!! the water was 60 degrees...I don't even drink water that cold!
Those of you that know me...know I don't like crowds, however I was pretty impressed... this place is so big that there's space for everyone and no one can possibly bother anyone...so I felt safe "literally"
There's an actual trail for people to walk on, however René was leading and we just followed him...it's fun that way
On Sunday we went to De Leon Springs, there's a old sugar mill that was converted into a restaurant where you get to make your own pancakes (yum!) however...we got there too late so we just visited the store/restaurant and enjoyed the beautiful area...
At this point I think daddy was getting a bit concerned...but René A. did great, he was more concerned about the birds having an "accident" on his shirt
No these are NOT ours...but they are very cute...
Saturday started at C.B. yes...we really like their breakfast...and the rocking chairs and the store...
Emily with Nicole...one of her favorite teachers at day care...she was also at the picnic...
Emily making a goofy face because she was splashing water all over the place but she was happy and very hot!
and after all that playing...drinking pretty much anything was a must!

When we finished with that little adventure René decided to drive to downtown Orlando, to Lake Eola, this is a very nice area it has a huge lake with a small amphitheater where sometimes local bands will play...this past Saturday there was a mini-concert going on so we strolled around the lake looking at birds, fishes, people jogging and getting married and the kids went to the playground and enjoyed the swings and games...
