I have updated my blog and will continue to do so till i catch up. keep looking at older posts. So far I am up to March 2009

Bathroom

Here is our full bathroom. It's the only shower in the house. The fish wall paper has been there for years and years. After that fish theme we went with another fish theme (see shower curtain).

There's been some little changes and updates over the years.
Same tub since the house was built in 1990.
So my parents decided it was time to redo the bathroom.
We have been spending a lot of time at Home Depot. The twins like the race car carts.
The twins took their last bath in the tub.

Then the remodel began. Luis' cousin is doing the job over the next couple of weeks. So we are without a shower in the house. At least we have our Tios/Neighboors to let us use theirs.

Bangs

So Lili comes into my room where me and Angelica and Felix are with scissors in her hand. Me and Angelica take them away from her and find out she can now open the drawer in the desk. So we are all hanging out. I walk out of my room and see hair on the hallway floor. I go to Lili and look through her hair and see that she cut it right in the front. So I decide that she is going to have bangs now. Here is a picture of how it turned out. You can see where she is missing a section of the bangs. At least its not like the time my older sister cut off my eyelashes.

February

In February Angelica had a orchesrta performance and had to say bye to her borrowed violin. Tata is getting her a new one that is a little bit bigger than the one from school.

Daddy and Lili took a nap
Felix played in a colorful mess

I got a Valentine's Day surprise!

Felix got to hang out with some guys! This is very unusual for him. Most of the time he is with 3 girls all day.

My Mom finally got her Mercedes! Nice!

The twins celebrated their half birthday (2 1/2)

Three days later Angelica celebrated hers (9 1/2)

On the weekends we cheered on "Lucky number 7" at the softball field.
February was exhausting!

January

In January we played in the leaves

We got presents in the mail from Tia Lissa
I cut Lili's hair
And the twins played a lot!

New Years 2009

We celebrated the new year at my parents house in SB. It was a "blue" party and everyone wore blue clothes. My cousin brought all his DJ equipment and Felix tried it out.

Christmas

Christmas Eve was spent at Nana and Tata's house, as usual. Tia Angie brought cookies for the kids to decorate.

Santa came and Felix was shy with him.
Lili was terrified and cried.
Once Santa left the kids had fun playing with Sophia. Angelica spent Christmas Eve with her Dad and family.

This is our metal tree we have been using. Hopefully next year we will get a real tree.

We picked up Angelica Christmas morning and headed out to SB.

My parents tree with all the presents on Christmas morning.

We woke everyone up to open presents...

Later we stopped by Tia Elaine's work. The twins liked playing office.

December at home

December we got ready for Christmas and did things at home.

Lili's hair is getting long.

We spiked Felix's hair and put Angelica's Harry Potter glasses on him and he looked like Chicken Little.
Felix invented a way to tow a scooter.
Angelica is getting better and better at the violin.

The kids played together.

And even made a gingerbread house together. Lili was most interested in eating the candy.

Birthday Parties

On Saturday we went to our nephew, Angel's birthday party.

The kids had fun with a clown that made balloons and face painted. I stayed far away with my back turned to him durning his show. Felix was surrounded by girls.

Cassandra and Angelica were cats.

On Sunday the girls got ready and we went to a birthday party for one of my best friend's niece.

It was a princess party and Celeste turned 3.

My friend, Lucia, being the great Tia she is, dressed up as Snow White and entertained the girls

Caught in the rain

Today Chone had a soccer game at 8am. In the first quarter she almost got 2 goals. She was so close! In the second quarter it started to sprinkle with lightning in the distance. I started to take down the banner just when they stopped all the games. As soon as I got everything and everyone packed up it and started walking to the car, it started to POUR! We all got soaked! By the time we got to the car the twins were both crying and me and Chone had water dripping down our faces! Once everyone was buckled in and all my stuff (banner, chair, stroller) was in the trunk, it calmed down and turned into a sprinkle. If only it would have waited 5 more minutes for us to get in the car. The rest of the games for the day were cancelled. We were just one of the lucky teams who got to play at 8 in the morning for not even half the game. The picture is what Chone looked like, except with ribbons in her longer hair.

Halloween

We went trick or treating around part of the neighborhood. The twins had fun, but were to shy to say trick or treat, even though they were saying it at home.

Lili was a scarecrow girl.
Felix was a scarecrow boy

Chone was another Harry Potter character this year. She was Moany Murtle.
