Aaliyah's field trip

We got to go to the Zoo with the preschool class on the last day of school last Thursday. Aaliyah had lots of fun seeing all the animals and interacting with all her friends! 

We all ate at the park afterwards then they got to play for awhile before we went home :)

Girls Spring Program

The Girls had Their spring program at school last night. Andres sat with us to watch it. It was fun watching it! Aaliyah got to come back and sit with us after her class sang. She had lots of fun singing with her group. She kept teasing us and saying "No I'm not going to sing...we don't sing in school." She insisted that Uncle Paul and Grandma come to the program too. They sat with us in the program.

Andres didn't sing because he is going to school in the afternoon and music is in the morning but he has a program next week. He enjoyed the program though. He entertained Grandma and Paul through the concert.

NeVaeh enjoyed the concert. She got to sit on the top of the bleachers this year! She seemed to really enjoy being on the top of the world. Miss animation really got into her songs when the kids sang. She liked being able to see every one else sitting on top! They are so good with her in school...She's so excited to go to school.

When the program was over we left in the pouring rain. We all made a mad dash to the van. Daddy drove the van right up to the door and everyone scurried in and tried not to get too wet. Every time the lightening flashed Aaliyah said "Oh that's another bad storm right Daddy"

Andres has been pretty good lately so he got to choose his hair cut.

This is Sue Z Q after a long day of play :)

Spring time play

The kids are enjoying some nice weather. They all three are getting along very well. Even Sue Z Q gets some individual attention...LOL come about 7:30 in the evening she's passed out!

Our playset gets alot more use now. Even NeVaeh uses it much more when these two are playing hard NeVaeh runs out and joins right in.

There's never a dull moment at our house hold anymore LOL. The two little ones are a bit more active than NeVaeh!

Andres Feild trip

I went with Andres to Brookings Children's museum with his class. He really enjoyed it.

They had a neat little car the kids could do their own "mechanic" work on.

 This is our attempt to make a bench....Daddy wasn't too impressed LOL.

 The big Dinosaur scarred Andres he ran very fast when it roared as it looked and sounded very real!

 The water feature was his favorite. We were there all day long and he spent almost half the day in the water room playing in it!!

 This is the news cast room. He didn't want to be on "the news"

Andres loved the Museum sooo much he wants us to all go this summer so sisters can have fun there! NeVaeh went there last year on her field trip and loved the water room too!

Mommy will get to go the Zoo with Aaliyah and her Class in about a week then will go with NeVaeh and her class to the Butterfly house the following week!

First Holiday as a bigger family!

We Celebrated Easter as a family of 5!

Trying to get a picture of the 3 proved to be quite a challenge.

We chose to just do it with us and not any extended family this time to be fair to Andres and Aaliyah till they get to know the rest of the family better. They have been slowly been getting to know  some of the extended family a  little at a time but it gets a little over whelming for them especially Andres if the group gets too big. I think Aaliyah prefers to just jump right in.

Surprisingly NeVeah is taking everything with stride. She is her  happy self and is no worse for the ware. She notices the change but it doesn't seem to bother her. She is amused by the much more commotion in our house. She is inspired more to play on her playset now.

Andres has really taken over the ponies now and Aaliyah the feeding ponies.

Aaliyah started school last week and Andres today so we should have them settled into a routine soon.

They have settled in her well.

They enjoyed searching for Easter eggs. Even NeVaeh searched when she saw them looking.

 Nothing Like a sugar HIGH!!
