Our family!

Xavier needed to have a family picture for school and we didn't have a recent one, so we had to take one quickly and I think it turned out pretty good!

Xavier's Last Day at La Escuelita!

This morning I dropped Mari off to her first day at Kindergarten and this afternoon I picked Xavier up from his last day at La Escuelita Daycare!

Xavier has been with Ms. Lala and Ms. Zaida since he was 3 months old so you can only imagine the emotions I felt today as I said goodbye to them. They are like family to us and I am so happy they are part of Xavier's life.

Here are a few pictures I took before we left today:

Xavier, Ms. Zaida, Jake, Quinn, Kayla, Collin, Naomi, Donnie Lee and Jordan

Mari's first day of 1st Grade

Today was Mari's first day of 1st Grade. She was very excited to go to school but was also concerned because there are 2 boys in her class that are trouble makers - LOL!

MYRTLE BEACH VACATION - 2010

Sun, Sun and more Sun! We spent the last 7 days at Myrtle Beach with my sister, my brother and his wife and daughter and had great time.

This was Mari and Xavier's first real trip to the beach and they loved it. Xavier went in the ocean with his clothes on as soon as we arrived and Mari soon followed.

The weather was great except for one over cast day. We were pool side by 8:30 am everyday and spent the entire day going between the swimming pool, the beach and the hot tub.

We ate out, watched fire works, went to Broadway on the Beach, rode rides, Mari got her hair wrapped, got tattoos, played at the arcade, ate ice cream, ate warm Krispy Creams (Mari and Xavier are now hooked), watched High School Musical 1, 2 and 3 with Aunt Linda and much more!

My camera was acting up and the pictures didn't come out that great but here are some of them:










Xavier and his buddies!

Cinderella!

Last night we went to see the play "Cinderella" with Mari's Daisy Girl Scout Troop. It was very good. To prove how good it was, Xavier sat mesmerized for the entire 2 hours! The girls were asked to dress up as princesses and Mari chose Princess Jasmine.
