A Weekend at Tata's House (Stephanie's)

The kids and me all spent the weekend at
Stephanie's house- it was the heat wave
weekend and Stephanie had a BBQ and we
just hung out and ATE!!


What the boys did MOST of the entire weekend....
can't really blame them tho, it was sooo cool
in the house and SO HOT outside!!


See why I LOVE my TATA??? These were
SUPER YUMMY!!!! On the grill, baby!


Saila was the Water Princess


Johnny took this picture!


YUM!!!!


Morning cereal


Saila told me "This is the funnest day of my
entire life!" (she's been saying that a lot lately
about lots of days BUT this was the first time
she ever said it!)

Mother's Day out at Sunol

Me, Johnny, and Saila up a tree- Saila was having
a hard time!


Mi Papa. We had a relaxing picnic at Sunol
and then went on a little hike and saw
TONS of wild flowers but I left my camera
back in car for the walk.....


Johnny and Paul chillaxen...


I gave my mom some violets for Mother's
Day because they were one of my Grandmothers
favorites.



Us mothers!

In the Rowell Ranch Parade!!

Well......I'm not on the internet to talk smack BUT there
DO come times when I feel I must express my opinions!
Check out Google, it's true- Rowell Ranch does hire
people who do NOT treat the animals well. Therefore,
since I was incharge of designing this float for Saila's
Pre-school, I HAD to put in my message. The sign says
"Be Kind To Animals" and I hope everyone understood
that. It was the only way I could peacefully "art."


A bunch of parents got together and helped me
paint the mural. It was SO much FUN and I
think we all had a blast!


The theme this year was "Back to the Future," so
I designed one half to be the way that things were
and the other the future (or present)- we are converting
back to local and organic and conserving our Earth.



Setting up the morning of.


Lianna looked SUPER cute!!



Saila and Rocco


It was funny because a Dolorean Car club was in
the parade because of "Back to the Future!!" Hahaha!!





We won first place in our division!! Yay!!
Yeeeeeee-HAW!!

Cowboy Day with Saila's School...

This is as "Cowgirl" as I could get her! Her
boots are SUPER cute! Found them at a
Second Hand Store!!


This is Saila and Joseph- he LOVES her!!



Happy to be on the horsey.....is the horsey
as happy? Well......

I am so sad that her Pre-school experience is
almost over! Look at what a CUTE bunch of
kids these are!!
