Winter 2010/11

Wow...its been a while since I have done some blogging!! Its sooo busy having 3 little ones. Some days are a seriously craaazzzy!! Lots of fun moments....lots of crying....diapers...I know one day I will probably look back and miss all of this...but on the other hand I am looking forward to when they are all able to do a little on their own. I can't believe Raquel is 10 months and she is walking around...briefly she falls after about 10-12 steps. Valerie is still the challenging little person she is. I think that Raquel is going to be knocking her over in no time. Since Raquel is already 20 lbs and Valerie is stuck at 24lbs. As you can see in the pictures there is not much difference in size. Ally is busy with pre-k and two dance classes. Ballet and Tap. She loves to dance...but has not exactly mastered "grace" yet...probably cause she is her mother's daughter. I can't believe I am going to be registering her for kindergarten in about a month. I am hoping to get her into a charter school. Crossing my fingers!!!



Raquel has more hair than Valerie...she almost looks as grown up as her older sister.






Raquel climbs on everything!! She is somewhat accident prone..about 20 min after this picture was taken..she fell and gave herself a nice little egg above her eye.







The following pictures are from about Christmas time. Ally had a dance performance a week before Christmas. She danced two little dances. She gets very excited about performing. It was really difficult to get any decent pictures of everyone during presents as they were all going different directions and Raquel eats paper so I was keeping the paper out of her mouth most of the time. We had lots of people over on Christmas eve for the majority of the day...then Christmas day we had Marco's side of the family over.





I love this picture!!!
































Giving candy to the residents at the care home where she performed.

BBQ and Rice Krispies

Raquel is getting soo big and she looks so much like her daddy!!




This picture is from a week ago. She was able to tun onto her stomach but only if she got mad enough. Now she can turn both ways with no problem. She really pushes herself up.





Daddy takes his girls on rides around the yard all of the time.




These are dinosar shaped Rice Krispies for those of you who can not quite tell







These girls love to cook with mommy. Most of the time I am tripping over their little yellow chairs that they follow me around the kitchen in.





Ally is getting soo big and she is able to do alot more in the kitchen. She is so funny she even knows some kitchen "lingo" since she watches "the food network" with me she says "yeah the cooking channel" her favorite is "giada at home"





Valerie is a very picky eater...we are very excited when we find something that she will eat!!








Yesturday we BBQ out in the back yard...while daddy was doing the grilling Valerie found herself an ant hill where she proceeded to try to pick them up and play with them all the while talking with them. Valerie loved the corn on the cob!!
Today while I was on Call I thought that it would be fun to make rice krispie treats. Ally wore her apron that she got for her birthday from Grandpa (my dad) and Konnie (his wife) Ally and I had fun decorating it together. I of course wore some of the fabric paint as she was very enthusiastic about moving the paint around on the apron. (This is why mommy owns no nice clothes...I know they will get ruined by all of our adventures) Then after the girls went for a ride around the yard with their dad in the ride on lawn-mower that is not ever used as a lawn mower but as a ride for the girls. They love it!! I am still not very good at doing this whole blog thing so if anyone could let me know any pointers that they have already figured out~

First Blog


Ally and Raquel. Ally is really loving being able to hold Raquel




I figure if you have big hair..you need a big hair thing.




Ally and Valerie think that it is a lot of fun to pull all of the books off of the shelf and lay on top of them. I have recently taken almost all of the books down and put them into a rubbermaid container as I am really tired of picking them all up.









Ally's Birthday!! Can't believe she is four already!





We have been having fun this summer. We have been swimming in a pool in the back yard several times. I'm back to work and enjoying my time more with the girls as I get a "break" from them and miss them terribly while I am gone. Raquel is getting soo big and is starting to really interact with her older sisters. Valerie is really talking alot. She is starting in on the temper tantrums...oh boy! Ally has recently started writing her name and can recognize about 5 letters. Sorry about how the first post looks i am learning to navigate this thing and haven't quite figured it out.
