Traveling

On Tuesday Rudy and Stephanie headed to Las Vegas to celebrate Rudy's birthday. They flew out and were hoping to have a really great trip without any kids. They did some site seeing, took in a show, and gambled a little of course. They came back Thursday.

Also, early this morning Elena, Millie, and Elsa piled into the car and headed to San Jose, California. They decided to do a little site seeing and visit Maunel. They plan to be back some time Monday. I hope they have a really great trip.

Aguirres Relocate

Just thought I would take this opportunity to let everyone know that Elsa and Elva are now happily living in Albuquerque. Everyone is excited at the thought of having them closer, (Christopher and I walk to their house almost everyday!). Their not the only family on the move. Betty decided she needed a change of pace, so she moved to Corpus Christi. She has an apartment and can't wait until she gets some visitors. (Vacation anyone?)

A Day Full of Fun

Bea's child care took her and some of her friends on a field trip to the zoo, and Millie signed up to chaperon. Elena took Matthew and Isaac. Elvira and Vincent happened to be visiting at the time, so they went as well. The boys had lots of fun checking out all the animals and hanging out together. They also got to ride a camel and play in the fountain. Vincent got so wet his grandma had to buy him a new shirt.

(Millie makes sure Elva is ready for the heat while Bea waits to see all the animals.)

(The boys hang on as their Camel goes for a walk.)

(There's always time to wave when your on a camel.)

After the zoo, Elena took everyone to Chuck E. Cheese. They ate l0ts of yummy pizza and salad. Vincent, Isaac, and Matthew played all the games they could. Everyone had a really fun day!

(Vincent takes a time out to pose with Chuck E.)

(Isaac does the same thing.)

(Vincent and Elena pose for the camera.)

Bea Turns One!

Sorry I haven't been able to get many updates lately. I was without a computer for awhile. However, everything is working.....so here's what's happened.

Millie and Theta decided to have a party in the park for Bea. They had a small picnic area decorated very nicely with streamers and balloons. There was lots of pizza, bread sticks, and salad to eat. Lots of family showed up to help celebrate.

Once everyone had enough to eat, we moved to another area of the park for the pinata. Millie and Theta rigged the pinata so that the little children could pull on a string and confetti would fall out. After all the little children pulled the strings, it was the big kids turn. Everyone had lots of fun attacking the pinata and then eating all the candy that fell out.

There were a couple different cakes. Millie got a small cake which looked like a dog for Bea. Christopher really liked the "woof woof" cake. We also had a tres leche cake which was decorated with Dora. We all sang "happy birthday" to Bea and then had cake and ice cream.

When it came time for the presents, Bea sat in her little chair and waited to see what she got. She got a LOT of clothes and lots of cool toys. It was a really fun party, if you ignore all the mosquitoes.

(Bea decided to give Christopher's push toy a try.)

(Everyone is enjoying the out door party.)

(Look at all that pizza!)

(Christopher reclaimed his push toy.)

(Christopher and Bea figured out how to share.)

(Bea is eating her pizza and coloring all at once.)

(Charlie and Christopher took off on their own adventure.)

(Check out all the presents.)

(What a pretty cake!)

(Here's the cool pinata.)

(All the confetti fell on Theta and Bea.)

(Natalie takes a swing at the pinata.)

(Elsa beats up the butterfly.)

(Elena focuses all her energy on her swing.)

(Politio takes his turn.)

(Manny prepares to finish off the butterfly.)

(Christopher picks out his favorite candy.)

(It's just too cute to eat.)

(Although Bea doesn't seem to think so.)

(MMMM.....what a yummy puppy!)

(Check out those hot mammas.)

(Bea waits to see what she got.)

(Bea gets a good look at her doll.)

(Bea really wants that doll.)

(Hey, it's a giggling Bert.)

(Who gave us a cantaloupe?)

(What a pretty dress.)

(More beautiful clothes.)

The party wouldn't have been complete if Joe hadn't got suck in the tree.

The boys try to figure out how to get Joe down.

Ten minuets later Joe's still in the tree.

20 minuets later their still trying to get Joe down.

Yea! He finally got out of the tree.

UFO's?

Last night there was something strange in the skies above. Elena and Isaac believe that it wasn't the weather balloon the government claimed it was. They both believe that is was aliens coming to get us. Elena decided to make hats out of tin foil in order to protect every one's brains from being eaten by the aliens. Isaac was very excited to wear it, she even wore to breakfast the next day. She wasn't able to make a hat for Christopher because he was asleep and the foil would have made too much noise.

Isaac is ready for the invasion.

As for me....not so much. This just seems silly.

Oops! She did it again

Yes, the rumors are true.

Elena has managed to break her foot again. She did the same thing as last time, except now it's her right foot. Now she has a matching set.

She's doing good, and will be in a cast soon.

She also mentioned that she is grateful that she didn't break it while she was in Italy.
