I am 1 year old!

Here we go. My monthly picture session. I am 1 year old.

Why is mom making those funny faces?

Wow! That is kind of strange.

Actually, that is a little funny!

Wait a minute. Do that again!

Yeah, that!

Oh geez!

This woman cracks me up!

Ha-ha! I think I just peed my pants!

How about you hold me now?

Not that face again!

Why is she not holding me?

Someone please make her stop!

Naomi's First day of School

I can't believe the summer is over!! It flew by in the wink of an eye! It feels like every year gets shorter than the one before. And even though we had a fun summer, back to school seemed to have sneaked back out of nowhere! The girls were excited about going back to school and I am excited about this new phase my little buddy and I are starting where we get to spend the mornings together just him and I. 

This is Naomi's first day back to school. She is a first grader!!! Oh my do I feel old! Next thing you know she will be a teenager. She loves Justing Beiber, and already talks about driving when she turns 16! Eeeek! Anyway, isn't this the cutest little first grader ever? She picked her own outfit and everything. I love my little first grader! Here it is to an awesome year! 

Naomi is in an Extended Learning Dual Immersion Program where she gets to continue with her same class every year. This is the way Elementary Schools in Mexico do it and I loved being able to grow up with my friends all through Elementary School. I made lifelong friendships and are still in touch with my childhood best friends. I'm excited to see my Naomi make those strong life long bonds with her friends.

 One of his new things this month. If you ask him "Donde esta la Luna?" -(Where is the moon?) He will point up.

Also ask him to do "Ojitos" and he will blink his eyes.

I think I have done a better job at speaking english only to him- it only took two trials and error to learn my lesson. Hopefully he will be more fluent in Spanish than his sisters, even though they do pretty well. Wow! It's been 11 months! 

I am 10 Months.

Summer

Recently I read a weekly parenting newsletter  I am subscribed to. It talked about taking pictures so you can look back  and remember  the summer days to get you through the winter months. Oh! How I dread the winter months! I love taking pictures, specially of my family. I started the year with the goal of taking and posting one picture a day. I am sad to have had so many days, weeks, go by without a picture this year and not keeping up with  that goal. But I guess is not too late to try and get back on track, right? Besides, I haven't completely  stopped taking pictures, I just haven't posted them here. At this point it would be too much to try and catch up, so I won't. However, I will try to catch up posting about our summer; The girls taking off swimming in the last few weeks, enjoying low profile days at home with baby Ryan, Jojo  riding her bike with no training wheels, daddy and Jojo turning one year older, toothfairy visits, hikes, picinics at the park, family, ice cream, making jam, and we still have a whole month left!!

I am 9 Months

The Graduates.

It's taken me forever to get some pictures up. My computer would not let me upload anything unto the internet (facebook, picasa, email, blog spot) but my husband has finally figure it out and here I am. It would take forever to try to catch up after about 2 months so I'll just jump into the important events as of late-Graduations!

 My beautiful Jocie graduated from Pre-K! She has been accepted to the ELP  Dual immersion program and we are thrilled!  We are so very excited to see her continue to grow and learn, and embark on a new adventure. We are so proud of our bright- beautiful- imaginative-caring- loving little girl!

Naomi has graduated from Kindergarten! She had an awesome year full of learning and fun. She's done mom and dad proud and we know she will continue to surprise us and exceed our expectations. We love our  smart- funny- fearless- outgoing- creative- happy little girl!

We are trying a new class this month. This was her first day and she absolutely loved it. She came out jumping and with a huge smile on her face. She was so excited she hugged all of her new little friends good bye. The teacher said she is a natural and very talented. My little ballerina.

Day 91- Conference Weekend

Conference Weekend

 Conference Bingo. This usually works for like 2 whole speakers, then they want to eat the candy, or start knocking their markers out of place and then mom and dad end up playing by themselves. One day.... One day we will look back and wish for this days again, or maybe not!? 

Bed heads, ready to watch conference!

We love Conference!
