Starbucks Moments

Tessa and Sienna are bonding over chocolate milk at Starbucks. It is their favorite drink. I wonder if they are chatting about their Mommy:).

Mother's Day

My girls gave me a beautiful gift that they made. It was their tiny hand prints on a tile that was decorated. It was the cutest thing. My girls love crafts and they were busy today painting with their cousin Alma. I am blessed to be a Mother.

Shhh Baby sleeping

Sienna was eating breakfast this morning and fell asleep before she could finish her Cheerios. Andres took the picture for me and i thought it was a great one to add to my project. By the way, she was awake today at 4:30 am ready to go. I am not sure what got into her but she couldn't hang. She was out at 8:30 am :)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Andres birthday. He is 35 years old. The girls were all excited to give him their gift of homemade projects that they did with Abuela. If you were at our house, you would have never guessed it was a birthday party for a 35 year old. The house was so full of kids that you could have sworn it was a kiddie party. Andres was very happy and in the end he said he would not have had it any other way.

Happy Birthday Babe, we love you!!!

Tessa the Ballerina

As you may remember, Sienna was a ballerina a few days ago. Today it is Tessa's turn. My big girl loves to dance around and do turns with her skirt on. Isn't she adorable!

Sienna and her Ice Cream

Sienna has a very unique way of eating her ice cream cone. She likes to eat the cone part first. Now, you maybe thinking, doesn't the ice cream fall off the cone or melt onto her lap?? The answer is yes it does! She is a mess after eating an ice cream cone. You must watch her or ask her to hold the cone. However, Sienna has a temper and she can get very combative if you don't comply with her wishes:).

Aquarium of the Pacific

Tessa and Sienna had a field trip today. We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Tessa has been here before but I think she enjoyed herself much more this time around. She was so intrigued with the seal that was swimming in the tank and following the kids. She also loved the sharks and was even brave enough to stick her hands inside and touch a few. Sienna liked the fished in the fish tank but wasn't so crazy about the rest. She was really interested in playing with her seat belt latches on the stroller. Go figure:).

Bed Jumping Time

Tonight was jumping off the bed onto the pillows below. This has to be Tessa favorite thing to do. She loves it. The more she gets to jump, roll or walk off the bed the better.

Ballerina

Ballerina, Ballerina... Tita made the girls ballerina skirts. They love putting them on and dancing around. The girls both put their hands in the air and twirl around then bow and say thank you. It is the cutest thing.

Friday Night

The girls love to go to Ikea for dinner. Tessa loves the fact that she gets to go inside of a cave as she calls it. When we enter the parking structure, she looks around to see if she can see any coyotes. We have to be very quite in the car and when she spots one, she screams "Coyote, Coyote!!" Once we are inside, she loves the mac and cheese dinner with a chocolate milk as a chaser. She also loves to play on the touch screen computer that they have in the children's area. She is teaching Sienna all the ropes.

Donut Hole

Every Friday, my hubby takes our daughter to the Donut Hole. The girls refer it as the Donut Cave. They each get a donut with sprinkles. Now Tessa doesn't not eat the entire donut nor does Sienna. When you find the half eaten donuts in the back seat of the truck you will see that they only eat the top of it. They lick off the frosting and leave the rest. They get so excited when they see the huge donut. They both yell "DONUT CAVE!"

Picture Day

My two adorable daughters had their pictures taken for school. They are so cute. Tessa is almost 3 and I really don't know where the time went. Sienna is about 18 months and she is getting to be such a ham. She loves her Daddy taking pictures of her.

Abandoned

We found this poor little dog that has been neglected. She is a Cocker Spaniel that has mange, fleas and is so skinny you can see her bones. It was so sad. We called the Human Society and they came to get her. We can only hope they will give the help she needs so she can find a new home.

Play Time

Tessa and Sienna like to play. I can not say they play together all the time but when they have their moments, all is good at the house. Tessa still takes things from Sienna but Sienna takes it in stride until she snaps and all bets are off. Sienna will take something Tessa is playing with and run.

Friday Night Picnic

Today we got some dinner and went out to Ontario airport to watch the planes land. We had dinner in the back of the truck and watched the planes come in from the sky and land over head. It was so cool. The girls were mesmerized by the big jet flying right above us. Sienna was a little scared of the noise at first but then she wanted to see more. It was an awesome night.

Acrobatics

Sienna is standing on her Daddy's hands. They love fooling around with him. Sienna was a bit leery at first but after she saw her sister do it, she couldn't wait to have her Daddy hold her up.

Happy St Patrick's Day!!

Today the girls went to school to celebrate St Patty's Day. They were excited becasue they each received a sticker and a cupcake. They both wore their Idealab green t-shirts and posed for a picture.

Daddy and Snakes

Tessa loves playing with her Daddy. She put all her stuff animals on him and attacked him with her snake. Tessa is definitely a Daddy's Girl. They are the best pals and she copies his every move. It is adorable!

Santa Ana Zoo

We started our day going to Disneyland. But when we got to the parking structure the lines to park were way to long. So we decide to go to the Santa Ana zoo instead. It was a great move. The girls had a blast watching the monkeys jump and swing and watching the elephant give people rides. We asked each of them if they wanted to go for a ride on the elephant and they both said no. I guess an elephant ride is not the same as a pony ride.

Grouchy

Sienna is a sleeping beauty. However, when she wakes up she is a total grouch! You can not ask her anything because she just says NO. Sienna, would you like milk. NO! Sienna do you want to go downstairs to eat? NO! If you approach her it is the same thing, NO! Tessa says she is just like Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street but worse.
