New Bounce House..Take Two..

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

No, its not what your thinking.. no we haven't gone "Bounce House/ Ball Pit" crazy.. After the "Rodeo" Jimmie and Lauren stopped by last Sunday he was playing with his daughter Kali in it and well lets just say that he was throwing her in it through the top of it.. and by morning it was totally flat.. the babies came down and were so upset.. they kept looking at it and Drew continued to try and climb through it.. so I had to return it.. so we went to Toys R Us and got a new one called "The Cottage" it looked like a little house..After I had blown it up the kids started to jump through it right away, but the sides of it were plastic and had no give to them.. and it hurt them as they tryed to jump through it and I didn't like there faces being pressed against it..so when I went back for the third time I got this one and they try to jump in it like the castle on only the drop is way deeper.. I swear I thought Drew was going to break her neck so after tonight this one is going back too.. its a lot bigger but to deep for them to jump in and out of..

Here is a picture of the two of them in it.. it had this weird top to it that was attached with Velcro !! They just pulled it off.. I didn't get it..

Brody Hangin Out....

Having Fun....
Drew ready to take a dive in it...

This one had a bouncy floor to it.. which was cool..

But, Bye- Bye.. You are going back to the store... I am going to get a new Castle one back.. that was really the best one for them..

Doctor's Office Maddness....Drew's Sick ..

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Today this morning I had to take Drew in to the doctors she wasnt feeling well..they get so excited to go to the doctor's office because they get to "Play" on the paper.. the minute they get into the office they want out and on the table even if only one is being seen.. I have to take both of them out.. and this is what they do..They go "Nuts".. the paper ends up everywhere, but they have a blast doing it.. This time I brought my camera in.. and here are the shots.. P.S. Drew was ok..just a cold/flu..

Drew playing Peek-A-Boo...

Brody would wrap himself in it then he would roll on the table with it..

He gets so excited.. I am sure the rooms next to us can here us...
After they have destroyed as much paper as they could, they turn to the mirror- which grosses me out because they start to lick it.. that's when they go back into the stroller..
Just for the record, I do clean everything up when we leave... Thanks Dr. Purohit !!!

"The Hulk" and "Wonder Woman"...

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

OK, so I am thinking about what they can be for Halloween.. that would be cute and fun.. and something similar, so I saw this "Hulk" outfit which I loved .. it was only like 25 bucks and I thought Drew could be "Wonder Women" Since that was the only superhero girls costume they made in her size.. so I ordered them and today they arrived.. they are so funny.. I put them on and took these shots.. Brody looks so cute, but Drew doesn't have dark hair or enough hair to pull this costume off.. so hers is going back.. I think I am going to make her something cute like a "Little Witch" or something.. these outfits aren't for Halloween Day.. they are for there little party's they are going to before Halloween.. I don't want them to ruin there real costume's which are the "little Monsters"...

How Stinkin Cute does he look in this...

My little mama is to cute for this outfit.. if she would wear a big black/brown wig, then I would keep it.. but without the hair this outfit isn't that cute..

This is them together....

I cant wait for Halloween.. its my favorite holiday...

San Juan "Rodeo" Yee..Haw..

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Today was a weird weather day.. I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to go to the "Rodeo" or not.. All morning it was lightning and thundering.. the sky's were black and it looked like rain...It was like 12:30pm when our friends Jimmie and Lauren called us, (they were suppose to go to) and asked us if we were leaving.. Leaving I said.. its to early.. she said I thought the Rodeo started at 1:15pm.. I ran to the schedule and Yep.. She was right... like a dork I looked at the schedule for Saturday !! Sunday the gates opened at 11:30.. and the rodeo started at 1:15pm..the kids weren't dress or ready to go at all..but I grabbed what I thought I needed and hoped for the best.. We got there and the stands we already full.. we went back and fourth trying to find somewhere where the stroller would fit.. and the I saw the "Handicap" sign with an arrow.. Stoked !!! Front row under the an Easy-Up next to the VIP area.. that's what I am talking about.. they also had chairs to sit in... not bleachers, did I mention how hot and sticky it was today.. the fans in the VIP area sure helped us out... Anyways take a look at my pictures...

This area was too great...there was a big area for the kids to play on.. we were right next to the "Bulls" which they both seemed to get a kick out of..

You can see..that's where everyone else had to sit.. no room or nothing.. we would have been miserable.. Hot, Sticky, No Air, in the Sun, and No room for the Stroller.. which would have meant we would have had to hold both of the kids..
Brody "Loved" it.. He watched the whole time...He was sitting on the ground here..
Drew- Well lets just say, she could have had more fun at home.. she didn't care about the horses or the people she just wanted down and out..

This is when we were leaving .. outside.. I made a HUGE mistake, I thought the "Rodeo" was over..but it wasn't we only saw the horses I thought it was everything, but we missed the cowboys riding the"BULLS"... I couldn't believe it, Mark said I don't think its over and I was like hey, lets get the kids home before we get stuck in line.. as we pulled out of the gate you heard the crowd cheer !!! the bull riding started.. Owell at least next year we will have something new to see.. Right!
How cute do they look.. I went out to the party store yesterday and got them these hats to wear for like two bucks...It was a little sunny and they didn't want to wear the hats..Here's a shot of us together..

See Ya Next Year... Mr. Bull Riders...

Day with Sophia..

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Today was a nice change up for the kids.. my parents had doctors appointments and James and Chandra couldn't take off work, so I got Sophia for the day.. She had some much fun.. it must be a nice change for her to getting to play somewhere new.. and Brody and Drew were so happy they got to play with her as well.. she quickly found out how much fun the bounce house is.. all three of them were jumping through the windows and playing in it together, it was so cute..

Hers is Sophia in the "Ball Pit"....
All three of them coming out together... Drew leading the way..
And then they heard.."Sesame Street" start so they found a spot to sit in and watched there favorite show together.. too cute..
It was a great day and I am sure many more Friday afternoons to come.. Thanks for hanging out "Sophia".... Love You XOXO

First Time at the "Ladera WaterPark"....

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

So we waited long long time and decided that we were going to go and check out the "Water Park" for the first time, we have watched the bucket of water drop over and over again as we walked the kids by it at least 100 times.. and so finally we are going daddy took the day off work and so today we went.. it wasn't that bad.. I thought I was going to have to find a spot on the grass.. so I brought my umbrella and park blankets.. but we found a table to sit at.. it was perfect, we got out everything we needed, sun blocked the kids and ourselves up and after 15 minutes of getting ready for the water park we are "Finally" off to the water.. but then, something happened on our way to the water.. with camera and video camera in hand I heard a whistle blow... and some girl yelling for everyone to get out of the water for a break.. OMG.. are you kidding me.. are you kidding.. no they weren't we rushed down there, set everything up, got the kids completely excited to get into the water and this happens, someone happened to point out to me the little area in the back that shoots out water from the ground.. they said that was still open.. under my breath of course I mumbled yah like I am going to let my two 10 month olds which one just started walking and the other doesn't go crawl around on the 100 degree cement floor and have a stream of water come up from the ground and shoot in the face.. but I just smiled and said we will just wait for the water park to start backup.. so we stuck them in there Bumbo chairs and feed them lunch..

Eating Lunch and Waiting....

After Lunch.. The Water Park was back on.. and of course we were still feeding them..But here we are.. we finally made it into the water.. and wow this place is FUN !!!

At first they both just sat there and played in the water but that was great because I could video them and take my pictures of them together...

But then.. They started to figure out.. hey we can move all over this place so I snapped a few more shots.. and ran my camera's back to the table and we just played there for the next hour.. or so.. Daddy took them under the small waterfall and no we didn't take them under the bucket.. Brody following me... and daddy telling me to hurry up...I cant definitely see why people love the water park.. this was so much fun.. we are going to be here all the time next year...

"Pool Time" Take Two....

Saturday, August 20th, 2007

Today we decided to go to the pool again with you guys.. it was another HOT !! day here in Ladera and this time we went to the pool by our house.. our neighbors Jay and Kim told us that we can go to the pools without the lifeguards and then we can bring in our floaters.. so we were so excited.. my sister Jamie got these cool floating things for them on Easter..so we were putting them to the test, and I should be able to take pictures now of them in the pool without being rushed since you both would be contained.. yah right, I was able to snap these shots and that's about all.. you both tryed to crawl out of them which was a nightmare... so I thought it was going to be a nice relaxing day at the pool.. nothing but "fun in the sun".. but it was more work this time then the first..I really don't know if we are going to be attempting this pool thing again anytime soon.. we shall see..

Together in the pool..second time.. The bath tub is so much easier..

Brody climbing out of his in this shot...
Brody kept getting the bottle stuck in between him..and the floating thing..
She looked so cute in the ladybug floating thing...

Ten Months Old...

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Since this month has been all about "Water" I decided to have there pictures done in their bathing suits.. which look so cute.. And Beca did a great job on getting these shots of them.. the older they get the harder it is to get the shot.. and like always she got there attention from the minute we walked into the "Kiddie Kandids" .. I love that because it takes her like 20 minutes and we are done, if I where to take them at home it would take me all day.. so I am thankful for places like this.. So here they are..

I swear my kids are the cutiest EVER ....

My Two favorite shots.. above and below....

Them sitting down...

Drew doesn't like to sit anymore...so this is the shot that took the longest..

I gave her these sunglasses just to get her attention and when I went to take them back.. She got Mad.. She was so ANGRY, so I gave them back to her and ..well here's her shot- My favorite..

This sweet little guy.. he was barely able to stand up and this chair keeps going back with him, because he is leaning to far.. but he was having a great time.. whatever works..Together.. Again {I love this shot..}


This shot reminds me of that little girl with the puppy biting her diaper at the beach.. Drew looks like she has the same facial expression..

I attached the ad that I am talking about.. Maybe she looks more like the "Carmen Electric" version a little more.. but either way you get my drift..I needed a puppy dog behind her..



Carmen is so cute in this picture...

I cant wait to show the pictures to Mark when he gets home.. he went to Palm Springs with all the guys since there January Mexico trip is cancelled.. They went from Freezing in Mexico in January to Bloody HOT.. gross weather in Palm Spring In AUGUST.. anyways he should be home on Sunday..

First "Ball Pit".. /.. "BounceHouse"

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

I took the kids to "Toys R Us" today to look around and get a few new things for the house and I went down the isle where they have the bounce houses and tunnels ect.. and I saw this castle one that comes with the little balls, and I remembered that Jay and Kim brought there's out for Cait's BDay and the twins had so much fun in it.. Even though there not even one and the box says for Three and up I got it anyways, and I am so glad that I did.. I blew it up when they were napping and luckily it didn't take up to much room.. so I had it waiting for them and when they came down and saw it.. they lit up like you wouldn't believe.. they both jumped through it at the same time- Drew went through the window and Brody went through the door..

This is what I saw from the top.... Humm do you think they like it...
His little face in this shot makes me laugh..
Drew had a blast in this.. they both laughed the whole time...
I couldn't stop taking pictures of them in this.. they are so cute! I couldn't wait for daddy to come home and see them play in this thing...

And before I knew it- Daddy came home and he loved it to.. He would stick his head through a window at them and try to get em..

This was the best toy ever.. I recommend that everyone go out and get your kid one.. they slept like "Angels" all night long..
