Easter


Its been a few months since I have had time to do my blog! Thought that I would try to catch up. So Ally is still dancing two days a week, Ballet and Tap. She loves it. She starts Kindergarten in August. She will be going to Ponderosa unless she gets into one of the Charter schools that she is on the waiting list for. Valerie is finally potty trained....good and bad...as she goes to the potty about 20+ times a day not even exagerating. She is going to start baby ballet in the fall which she is very excited about. Raquel is getting her molars in.....and runs around the house following her sisters and helping them get into things. She will take bites out of the toilet paper and just about any thing else that she finds. We are all very happy about the wonderful weather we have been having. Its great to be back outdoors.

"What....Why are you taking my picture?" Marco is driving around the yard on his little ride on lawn mower.



Raquel already loves to ride around on her daddy's toys

getting ready for a ride

odviously ally is extremly comfortably riding on the quad. this is not a stop and pose pic this is a riding around pose. not too fast because the baby is in the front.

I love this picture.... valerie we did not forget you....we will take pictures of you too.

 These pictures are from when my dad, stepmom, and sister came to celebrate Easter and my belated birthday. We had lots of fun decorating eggs.

Classic!! Ally and Konnie decorating eggs

Valerie was having a little too much fun!! Quite the character.

In the background Grandpa is eating yummy banana chocolate chip muffins that we made

My birthday cake! That is my little sister beside me....bet you couldn't tell...lol.

Here we all are (marco is taking the pic)

Raquel was sleeping. We started decorating really late for her and she turns into a pumpkin at 8 :)

Ally loves to take pictures with the camera. She took these pictures of Marco and the girls while I was at work one day. Not bad for a 4 year old.

kissing Raquel

kissing daddy

and "cheeeseee"

and 'cheessee' again

These pictures are from Easter. We went to "Nana and Bobby's" house to celebrate. The girls had so much fun running around outside. It was pretty nice weather with some occasional cloudiness. I attempted to get a decent picture of all three girls, by myself not easy. Marco had to work of course...restaurant must have a cook.


The best one that I got. Raquel moves too quickly now.



I don't remember what I was saying but can im pretty sure I look like a dork here....Raquel looks pretty cute though.

An attempt of all of us girls :P

Easter egg hunt...... 

I was having so much fun watching that I could hardly get a picture taken plus watching three girls run around  I thought I was gonna be dizzy. 

pretty cool clouds

Kite Flying....Hi Uncle Garrett

Valerie and her Great Grandpa.....Wish I would have kept my finger on the camera.....he stuck his tongue out at me right after I got this shot. He doesn't like to have his picture taken so I had to be sneaky to get this one.

Me: "Nana, Why is the ice cream cake in the fridge? " Nana: "I got it out of a fridge at the store and there was no label anywhere" Me: " It says right there Keep frozen"  So we put it in the freezer and 2 hours later this is how the ice cream cake was......she thought that it looked fine until we took the plastic off the outside and the whole cake did this. lmbo

Raquel's Baptism

Raquel was just Baptised. She was quite the little screamer in church....Unfortunately they do not schedule these things around naps and naturally it was naptime for her so considering this she did realitively well. She was definately the center of attention as she was the only one of four that continued to cry when the "Padre" came around to her.

Screaming!!!



 I am thinking where is that pacifier at...not that it will help.



~Attempting to get a picture with all of us~

My Ally She is getting soo Big!!

my petite Valerie!!

Daddy and Valerie...love the face she is making...miss attitude!

The Cakes.....

Daddy helping Raquel take a bite :-)

Layla (my niece) the little mommy!!

The following pictures were taken before the Baptism!! It had been pretty nice outside so we went out to play and I grabbed the Camera. It is amazing what crazy things you catch.



 I turned my head for a second...this is her under my car. I was taking pictures of Valerie and turned around and snapped this one and then quickly helped her get out from under!





little Ham

 

I can't believe how easily she gets on and off of this little horse. This thing has gone through all three girls...but she loves it the most!

This picture was taken when it snowed!  The girls loved the snow



She just cracks me up!!



Another picture of Raquel getting into trouble....on daddy's watch of course. I always come home and find pictures like this in the camera.



What Fun we Have!!!!!

My little Climber

Raquel is my little climber!!!

She climbs on EVERYTHING!!!



She also gets into cabinets. She is in the recycling cabinet when she was home with daddy. Odviously she is helping him .lol



Raquel is going to be one in a few weeks! I can't believe it. She is our little climber. She gets up on just about everything. The three girls are constantly getting into things. We are going to be baptising Raquel next week and will be having a small celebration at our house. Lots of mexican food!! Marco and I have been hitting the gym. We go oposite to eachother because Valerie and Raquel are still too unpredictable and will cry in the "kid zone". Ally is getting really excited about starting Kindergarten this year. We are hoping to go on a little vacation this summer...we are thinking about going back to Montery! We loved it there! Work has been really pretty busy this winter at the hospital...So I've been able to save up my Vacation time. I am also looking forward to a trip to see Anne...Yeah!! I'm going for a weekend of fun down where she lives...to celebrate my 30th :-) I can not believe that I am going to be 30. I'm actually very excited about it!! I feel like I am the happiest and the healthiest I have ever been.

I catch Valerie climbing ontop of Raquel all of the time. So I got my camera out to see if I could get a picture. Ally had to join in. But the smiles only lasted for a brief moment.

In a couple of months this will be the oposite...as Valerie and Raquel are only about 5 lbs apart. Raquel is walking really well and now she runs from Valerie when she tries to take things from her.

Ally is my little betty crocker in training. At this rate she will be better than myself by the time she is ten. We were making Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies which turned out great especially right out of the oven.

Ally and Daddy in the snow. They drove up to Magalia to check it out a couple of weeks ago. Can you see the curls from her wearing the rollers.
