Samuel's 4th Birthday







We had a party for Sammy at his school. We had pizza and chocolate cake. Mom was busted eating cake. It was sooo good!! His theme was Transformers. Nestor entertained the children and the teachers. Nestor the clown. Daddy missed his calling as a preschool teacher or playmate. Samuel's classmates got a balloon and a goodie bag. We also decorated the car with window paint. It had "Happy Birthday Sammy" all over the windows (no pics). It was really cool! Nestor loved all the honking and attention we got in the car. My baby is four!!! Now Samuel's teacher knows why Sammy's is the way he is. Sammy's is a mini-Nestor.

Tooth Fairy




Jacob's first baby tooth fell out or actually Sissy pulled it out for Jacob. Jacob's tooth was already popping out and the baby tooth was really loose. Sissy volunteered to pull it out. I was not going to pull it out. I would have it the floor and scared the crap out of Jacob. He was sooo excited about having the Tooth Fairy at our house!!! When he saw the Tooth Fairy left him money- it was priceless. At first he thought it was a dollar but I pointed out it was five. Hey, it is his first one!!!

Natasha's First School Dance

Let's ketchup on Natasha first. Natasha started Junior High this year and is transitioning very well. She really likes her school . She is going to John Glen. Her elective is Drama!! No surprise there. She likes changing classes and all her teachers. I am so happy that she is on top of her homework. She is really enjoying school. I am so proud of her. Well, we had our first dance at school. It was after school and ended by 3:45PM. She was really surprised that her dad gave her permission to go to the dance. I think it surprised a couple of people. I picked her up and she rambled on for hours about the dance and what happened. I was listening!!! She is becoming quite the young lady with a little sparkle. This is one of my favorite pictures of her and I. We were in San Fransisco this summer.

Air Museum







We just dropped off Nestor at the airport. He is going to visit his brother in Florida and his sister is visiting from Colombia. I think it is just an excuse to go fishing. The boys wanted to go to the air museum since daddy just took off in a plane. They had a blast playing in the plane.

I Want to be in Kinder too!!!


Samuel was not thrilled to be in school. He wanted to hang out with us at home. They are so different. My little clown wants to be with his brother and keeps asking if he can go to kindergarten yet. Isn't he adorable.... that why I can't kill him when he turns into a monster.

Jacob's First Day of School


Jacob's first day of school was a success. His teacher name Ms. McDuffie and I volunteer in Jacob's class on Monday's. Yes, I am a proud Mommy!!! Jacob likes kindergarten and is doing well. Ms. McDuffie called me and told me that Jacob is a wonderful student and boy. She uses Jacob as her example. Jacob told me that his teachers birthday is on Saturday and he would like to bring her some flowers. Boy! Is he going to be a teachers pet or what? It was an emotional day for me. My baby in school.

My Olympians

He is just like his daddy! He loves his swimming goggles.
I had to time Jacob swims and rate his dives. He was scoring in the high nines and swim times were not bad. I did not realize how much they are abosorbing as we were watching the games.

I think the Olympics went to their heads. Diving and swimming were our favorite sports to watch.
