Summer is HERE!!!

Heritage Park Cerritos

Ever since I went there last year I've had the desire to go back to Heritage Park and take pictures of my kids. I tried today, but it was incredibly challenging without another adult to help me with the baby. The ones I took of all three kids didn't turn out because Theo would NOT sit still on Rebecca's lap.

I've had a secret desire to learn to become a good portrait photographer. I know it's going to take time, and all I can do right now is learn from books, but hopefully someday I can start understanding the physics behind it all and learn to take good pictures. I just hope I learn before my kids are too big! Right now I'm doing everything on automatic, and I want to learn how to use my camera properly. We'll get there eventually, right?!

Rub-a-dub-dub...

a cutie in a tub...




Oooo, I just love those chubby little baby fingers!




Theo's words as of 14 months:
mama
dadee
doggie
ball
baba (bottle or drink)
pee-pee-boo (peek-a-boo)
cracker (basically pronounced:cr-ckr in the throat)
he has a word for diaper but it's hard to understand, but he has repeated it several times

We love this kid!

Bagel Bros

You've heard of the Muffin Man, but do you know the Bagel Bros?

Teacher Thank you present

And all of the sudden second grade is over. Where does time go?

To say thank you to Rebecca's teacher this year we made her a personalized clip board. I had Rebecca draw a picture of her teacher and write some nice things about her. We glued on some colorful paper (it was just a plain brown clip board to begin with) and mod-podged Rebecca's drawings on top. We added a few colorful ribbons and voila, it was complete! Her teacher loved it. Btw, that extra bit of white paper is there to cover up her teacher's name to protect her identity! :) It's hard to tell from the picture, but the mod podge adds a shimer and shine and a nice overall finish. It makes it look really nice. I'm kind of new to mod podge, so don't laugh just because you've been doing it for years!

Superboy T

He might fool you pretending to be an innocent builder.



He might fool you because he's so cute you just want to eat him up when you see him.



But when you're not looking and help is needed: Superboy is here!



Quick as a flash he's back to building again. What an innocent face! Where did Superboy go?



But don't worry. If you need him, Superboy will be back and will save the day-complete with his sidekick Big Bro.

The best seat in the house

Theo discovered a seating area that is just his height. Every time we get out of the car he tries to sit down there again.
