Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Starting the long weekend in a hammock is always a good idea!

Barbecuing and celebrating Andrew's birthday is even better! 

Sofia and Weiser became great buddies this past Friday night. I think it had to do with Sofia feeding weiser lots and lots of chips!

We were due for a get together! Good thing my sister Yesenia and I brough our mosquito repellent. 

Thank you James for a great evening! You are the best! and your homemade salsa rocks!

We took John's grandpa Williams out for breakfast. It was nice to see him. He brought a flower from his garden! He's very sweet! But Sofia claimed as her. Sofia loves flowers.

                          Raquel is 2 not 62. We celebrated my mom's birthday this holiday weekend!

Anthony and Sofia waiting for the cake! 

Sofia decided that Yesenia's cake was not enough. So, she brought my mom her own toy cake straight from her toy box. Very thoughtful of her.

                                 The weather was so nice, we decided to go outside and play!

                                 Raquel and Uncle David. There is a bond between these two!

Today, Aaron, John's nephew left for the Army. So, we took this before picture to compare after we see him again who knows when. We are very proud of you Aaron!

There is a shoe flying in this video!

Dancing competition without holding a remote!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

I'm late posting, but here it is!

It is officially hot in Texas! And since we don't have a pool, this shall suffice for now.

It was really windy and Raquel's cold hit her once again, but after several rounds of saline drops, she's doing better.

There's that look again!

She cracked a smile for mami!

John got plenty of green beans from his garden! They only lasted about three days in our fridge! 

Sofia is obsessed with Coco Beware. Yes, that's his full name: Coco Beware. If you watched 80's wrestling you know where the name comes from. 

We walked to the big park that is 45 minute walking distance (one way) and Sofia made it riding her bike both ways and never complained! And she did have a great nap afterwards!

In this bridge, everyone talks to you, in this instance, we were surprised Raquel was not at all intimidated by this big dog. She gave the dog her "look" and tamed him. Very clever.

Sofia watching from afar...waiting to see if the dog attacked she was going to run behind daddy. 

Sofia not scared anymore! She conquer her fear of big dogs and tamed him by petting him. 

Having fun at the park. 

Wildlife not living at the zoo! 

It took several times for Raquel to stop pushing her head through the iron fence.  

and to finalize our walk, John walked a pretty good distance to hug a tree 

The End.

Swimming 2010

We did not go to the pool this Memorial Day weekend, instead we brought the pool to our back yard!!! Check it out!

Sporting her brand new swimsuit - 3T size!

Raquel sporting her very first swimsuit. I bought this for Sofia when she was 6 months and it didn't fit. But Raquel, rocked it!

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

John and Sofia went to the Ft. Worth Zoo. Raquel and I stayed home. I wanted to go but with so much heat, I will not do that to my baby. So, John and Sofia had lots of fun.

She smiled!!!!

Because she felt like a princess!!!!
