story time
picking blueberries!
Today, we went to Underwood Family Farms in Somis with Abuelita, Grandpa, Rebecca and Tia Suzi to pick blueberries. We had such a fantabulous time. Alex and Rebecca got to pet the animals in the petting area and play in the play area. Thank you for a wonderful day.
best surprise ever!!
Today Alexander got one of the best surprises ever... an entire hour with a horse! (compliments of Grandma and Grandpa winning the silent auction item at the LPPP fundraiser.) Askja is an 18 year old Icelandic horse and has been with this owner for 13 of those years! She was the most gentle and docile horse we'd ever seen. Alexander had an amazing morning with Askja. He walked her to her grooming station, brushed her hair, cleaned her hooves, helped put on her saddle, walked her to the arena, and rode her several times around the arena.
Thank you so very much Grandma & Grandpa!
water fun!

Life is wonderful! Thank you God for blessing me with the gift of motherhood.

Happy Belated 1st Week
Saturday marked Sophia's first week with us. She's such a wonderful baby and Alexander is such a loving and caring big brother. At the hospital, he serenaded her with "Happy Birthday" and a few other songs while Daddy helped him hold her. At home, we're all still adjusting to a new routine, but we'll get the hang of it soon!

the dentist
Alexander did great today at his first teeth cleaning. He was particularly excited by the dinosaur he received at the end.
graduated!
Alexander received his certificate last Saturday after finishing his first Spanish class. He's pretty excited. About the sticker he got.
Weekend with Cousins!
this past weekend we spent having fun with our family. Grandma and Grandpa had all our family over to their house for a Stup-Egg-dous Celebration and Easter egg hunt! the kids also had fun chasing bubbles, decorating eggs and watching Uncle Chris's egg-bot decorate eggs. See how tired Alex and Rebecca were after such a fun afternoon! The following day, we went to Temecula to have lunch together at Masia de Yabar and then go on a wine tour of Miramonte Winery, courtesy of Tia Lisett and Tio Nick. See how much fun Alexander had playing with Nicky at Masia!
