Easter

Finally found her basket after what seemed like forever searching

It was even harder for Eden to find her basket...that tricky Bunny !

Roman found his in no time

Carrots and letters the girls left for the Easter Bunny. He left a trail of carrot crumbs that led to the front door

We celebrated Easter with Nana at Tilden Park

We hid Easter eggs and found most of them...the others I wonder if the animals helped themselves to

Roman found one!


We end the day at the Carousel at Tilden

Disneyland and spring break

The hotel Gardens


Lola gets her face painted

Roman loves loves loves the tea cups and screams when it ends... "I wanna tea cup!"

Lola, Nana, Eden and Roman on the Merry go round


The kids tried so so hard to lift the sword...Roman was frustrated...why won't that thing budge!?

Build a Bear trip.

Roman gets his first Build a bear he names Spidey (really he named it! He loves Spiderman and we sometimes call him Spidey so he chose a very appropriate name for his monkey.)



The latest in kids hats!

Lola at California Adventure

Roman didn't like the sound of the "fluff" machine. Lola had to help him.
Outside waiting for the shuttle to Disneyland


This princess asked Lola "My dear are you a Princess?" Lola says no with a giggle. And the princess says "oh dear one day you will realize that you really are one, just wait and see"...it was so cute and funny!

The game room at the hotel

The kids favorite place, the vending machine room

Just outside of our room at the Sheraton Palace Hotel


Universal studios!

Lola wins a prize

Eden amazed me because she kept shooting basketball hoops effortlessly while boys and teenage boys couldn't even make the shot. I was so impressed I texted her Dad who was not on the trip with us. He was so proud! Too bad Eden doesn't want to play. She's a natural.

I'm not so sure about these glasses!

A trip to Knottsberry Farm. Roman didn't like Snoopy much

Lola's favorite ride. Her laughs are so funny when she's on this ride! Other parents commented on her cuteness...I should youtube it next time. It's hysterical.



I laugh everytime I see this picture because I  hear my moms voice "Girl is that a pink shirt on that boy!" No mom it's light red...she makes me laugh with the things she says. So I know she'll look at this and might ask again! No mom it's a red shirt :)! 


Roman loved the bouncy house!


Our trip to Disneyland is always one we all look forward to! The kids can't wait each year and to be honest I think my mom and I are even more excited then the kids! We spend a week and go to Disneyland, Knottsberry Farm and this year we decided to go to Universal Studios which was really a blast! I am glad we went there. I hope we do that again next year. 
I love looking back at the pics because everyone looks so happy! Brings a smile to my face... 

We Are Back...a blast to the past

My Birthday at Tilden Park

The kids spoil me rotten as usual!


Where to go on a birthday? Why your Wedding Reception place. The kids rolled down the hill and had the best time ever at the Brazilian Room!

Enrique tossed the kids around a bit!
Valentine's Day...Love was so in the air!

I surprised the kids by decorating the night before so when they woke up they got a big surprise

A late birthday present; a trip to Monterey


Part one of this is oh how cute live clams and part two is waking up in the middle of the night at the hotel room to live clams and snails crawling under the nightstands...a very very horrible way to wake up! Then on top of that, Lola's tooth falls out and bleeds for ever! It was way too eventful for me...but definitely something to look back on and smile.

This was a heated indoor swimming pool...it was so fun for the kids

Even Roman splashes around
Lola's first taste of oysters...she actually liked it for the most part...yuck! Notice how I didn't put Eden's photo of her first taste...let's just say it came back up!

The girls get to pose with live birds


A yummy trip to Dip N Dots
Easter egg decorating

Roman was able to make one or two. He just wanted to grab them all and throw them in...poor eggs!

The end result...


It has been such a busy wild few months to say the least. With school and the kids' schedules I have very little time to post on the blog. I really miss it but will try harder to keep it updated.
