Dance Class

This afternoon Isabella had her first dance class through the City of CH. She LOVED it and had a great teacher who sang and danced. The class was packed with all these little girls in their pink dance outfits. Isabella was so happy to tell Ms. Dee Dee that she "has a horse named Buck in Texas". She just wanted to blab away. It was really sweet. And when Ms. Dee Dee went to teach them the shuffle step, Isabella was also SUPER excited to let her know she already knew how to do that. Lol! I have to work on telling that girl not to be so loud during class and that Ms. Dee Dee has 20 other kids to listen to.

Fun acitivities...

It seems that I am posting on a weekly basis now - it always works out well :) We had a busy week (shocker). Tuesday we had a great visit with Aunt Donna and Uncle Mark. Vincent was showing them just how cute he is and Isabella was being shy, but eventually warmed up. I love visiting with them...they are always making me laugh. On Thursday we met Drew, Emma and their Mommy at the park in Brea and had a picnic. Isabella loves to play and I love being outside at the park and visiting with Sara. So it was great!


Vincent also loves being outside at the park and playing with his toys. Thank you Rebecca for the awesome UCLA blanket. That is his park blankie now!!

On Saturday we had a small Bridal lunch for Aunt Amy at Tommy Bahama restaurant. It was really nice and she enjoyed herself! We are so happy for her and Soner to be getting married just next week! Soner also surprised her with a Gucci purse. So sweet!!

And yesterday, Melanie had us down to Ladera Ranch where Beau and Isabella got to play at the Waterpark. Aunt Jenny and Camryn also joined us for a while along with Melanie's friend and Natalie, her sister. We had snacks and enjoyed the sun. Unfortunately another kid threw-up in the pool and they had to shut it down for an hour :(

We also had exciting new this weekend...Aunt Jenny and Uncle Frank are expecting a baby!! We are thrilled for them and wish them nothing but happiness and a very easy pregnancy!! Vincent won't be the baby anymore and this will be the 8th grandchild for my Mom and Dad!

Another week...

This might be the longest post yet! Tuesday we met Yolanda and her nephew at the mall. It is always fun to see Yolanda. She cracks me up! And it was fun to walk around/shop. On Thursday we had Vanessa, Lilly and Luke come over to play. Here are Lilly and Isabella...they played like they have been friends forever! So cute! It also felt like no time had passed between Vanessa and I seeing each other; it was wonderful to catch up and I look forward to letting the kids play again soon.

On Friday, Isabella, Chris and I went to the Dodger/Angel game and had a blast! I ate a hot dog, pretzel, some licorice, some cotton candy and had a huge belly ache! But it was fun to be at the ball park! It was a great game. The Dodgers ended up loosing, but made up for it by winning Saturday and yesterday! Woo Hoo!

Gotta have a Hot Dog!

Cotton Candy - pink is Bella's favorite color!

Being Silly!

Watching the fireworks with Dad.

Saturday morning we met Caitlin and the kids at the park! Caitlin helped me put some favor boxes together while we visited and the kids played!

Saturday evening we had Jake's (cousin Katie's son) graduation party. He will be going to Cal State Fullerton in the Fall. YEA! Here are Isabella and Katie's daughter Brynn.

They had fun playing and seeing rainbows in the water :)

Vincent having fun on Daddy's shoulders.

Sunday we had a perfect day! Bella and I made French Toast and Coffee for Daddy. We relaxed and then headed to San Clemente to have a family BBQ. A good picture of us, even though the Bubster isn't looking.

Samantha and Vin.

Swinging!

Much love to everyone!!

Just a Bunch of Stuff...

Last week flew by! We kept ourselves really busy. I had to think about what we did because I didn't take a lot of pictures :) lol! We did some things with Grammy for Aunt Amy's bridal lunch and on Thursday we went to surprise Popi at work. He took us to lunch and it was so nice to just be out and visit with him. We also spent a lot of time at the park. Here is one picture of Isabella being silly and attacking Vincent.

Isabella has also been helping me paint some decorations for her birthday party! Again, yes she is on the counter. It is so easy just to plop her up there when we are doing things.

And Vincent is a big boy now because he holds his own bottle when he eats. He also LOVES to drink out of a sippy cup.

On Friday Daddy wanted Vince to wear his UCLA warm ups, so Isabella wore her Nike jogging suit too. We took a picture and emailed it to Daddy at work.

Saturday I went to the car wash, did some shopping for Isabella's birthday party, finally went grocery shopping and went to get a pedicure. That night Isabella and Daddy went on a date to see Up in 3d. Here they are before they left.

Yesterday my Mom, Jenny, Amy and I went to breakfast and then to see Dirty Dancing. You know I love the plays/musicals. It was really good and we enjoyed ourselves. So happy I got to see it! Chris and the kids BBQd for my Dad. Chris said it was, "Popi appreciation day!". How cute, huh? And this week we are already off to a busy start. Today we went to activate our Disney passes with Grammy!! It was so crowded and took us a while to get our passes/pictures so Bella didn't actually get to go on any rides, but she did get her face painted and played a bit in Toon-town. She even got to see Jasmine and Belle. She was so excited because Belle told her she liked her face paint!! So cute! I know we are in for a fun year ahead.

Vincent's first trip to Disneyland.

Look how sweet with her closed eyes!

Gorgeous Bella!

Mom and Bella up in the boat.

Vincent's new hat!


Sending our love to everyone!!

Isabella's First School Pictures!

I had to share how adorable Miss Bella Rose's first school pictures came out. Doesn't she look like such a beautiful big girl!

6 month old Vincent!

Vin turned 6 months old on the 2nd. Since this month is Father's Day and he is finally big enough to wear his LA outfit, we went with Baseball! I love the one of him looking down at the ball and glove (I think I might turn that Sepia and put it in his room)! He weighs 21.5lbs and is 29 1/4" long.
