Soccer Begins!



Summer soccer has started for the girls! They had their first practice yesterday and loved it! The good news is that they are both on the same team!!! We didn't get to be on the same team as their friends Kylie and Lindy, but at least they practice at the same time! Unfortunately, I do not get to watch them practice too much because Malia is running around the park that is right next to the field! She's a mover and a groover!

Last Day of School!

Claire had her last day of school on June 16th! They had a CELEBRATION at the park, rotating stations from obstacle course, to decorating boats, to face paint, to bubbles, to sand time, to decorating visors. Grace was able to join her for all the fun! Too bad most of the pics you can't see their eyes because of the big visors! And yes, Grace's hat says Claire by accident. Claire is now excited to move on to be a first grader! Grace is counting the days to go to Kindergarten! Love my girls! Miss my husband! (One of these days I will get the slideshow right with no goofs:)

Good Times


Brandon decides to start the summer fun with a little swimming in the backyard. Don't you love Malia's "burn me now!" swim attire?!:)









Hillbilly Malia decides to make us laugh with her tootsie roll tooth sideshow! She got a kick out of us laughing while she kept smiling away!












Grandma and Grandpa C visited and we went to the church fiesta! Claire got to ride on a pony for the first time. As you can see, Claire's horse smiled for the camera too! Hey there pony...ever heard of crest white strips? ha!
Grace opted out after seeing her horse relieve herself right in front of her:)









































No, it's not Halloween, but the girls wanted to surprise me and all dressed up, each with a flower and baby in hand! They thought it was funny...so hey, I did too! Love my girls!

Back In Time

Here a few pictures from our 7 months in Pensacola, Florida: Claire making the Reading Wall of Fame, Grace enjoying her first hay ride with her friend Mattie, Christmas and making cookies, Easter Day with Dad, Claire with her friend Emma after a school program (she's the second penguin from the left), Brandon at his flight surgeon graduation ceremony where I had the honor of pinning on his wings! Poor guy...I put them on a little on the crooked side:)

Malia Turns 2


Hi Everyone! After some persuasion from my husband, we are now official bloggers! I have to admit, I think I will be better at this than scrapbooking. It's fun looking at everyone else's spots, so here are our dots! (ok...cheesey and corny, but staying until I can think of something better) Love you all!

Malia turned two on May 19th! We celebrated over Memorial Weekend and enjoyed our Dora the Explorer BBQ. Now being two, she acts more like Swiper the Fox than Dora, but her loving hugs make up for it all! She wasn't sure why we were hitting the pinata, but quickly figured out what to do once the candy all fell out! She's a bundle of fun and keeps us all laughing! Thanks to both Grandparents and the Avila family for helping us celebrate!
