Our ward has a bar-b-que every year, and each year, it is a blast!!! There are games, prizes, great food, and wonderful friends. Can't get better than that. Nico and Ana had so much fun running around EVERYWHERE. Here's a picture of Adriana and her best friends. I don't know why my pictures keep turning on me, but here it is. I love how close they are to each other and hope that they continue to be friends!
Adriana took a few dance classes when she was much younger and didn't like it much. Well this past session she decided that she wanted to try dance again! I'm so glad that she took this ballet class, she did amazing!!!! She looked like a princess when she danced and felt like one too. What little girl doesn't want to feel like a princess?!?! Next session is tap and ballet!!! I can't wait!!!
Nico can't get enough of his gym class. I'm so glad he's that he's at an age where, both him and I, can enjoy these classes more! The only hard part is trying to figure out what class he's going to do next!!!
WOW...WHAT A YEAR!!! I decided to do a home school preschool for Nico's first preschool year. Between four of us we took turns teaching the boys. Let me just tell ya...boys are SOOOOOOO different from girls. I think I've always known this, since Nico's been born, but it wasn't until this year that I truly realized just how different. All in all though, it was a great experience. I loved being with my son and watching him learn and growing while doing it! Graduation was so much fun. We played water games, decorated hats, ate pizza, sang songs, and got our diplomas! Nico says he's ready to go to college now!!! It's a good thing that his next school is called Kiddie Kollege!!!

I'm so thankful for our stake sports!!! It gives all of us the opportunity to watch our children show off their talents!!! Not to mention that it's free!!! Adriana has LOVED being apart of the seasonal sports and we have LOVED watching her!!!
one night i was walking past nico's room and i noticed something blinking! i could not stop laughing once i realized what it was!!!! he said it was because i turned off the hall light and he couldn't sleep without it so he put the hat on!
Seriously, this kid can sleep anywhere!! every day i always try to get him to take a nap and he always argues with me that he's not tired! this was one of those days!! 15 mins. later he was snoring like crazy!
FOR EVERY HOLIDAY I TRY TO DO A CRAFT WITH THE KIDS. IT HAS TO BE SIMPLE QUICK AND EATABLE! THIS YEAR THEY MADE BUNNIES AND LOVED IT!
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ACTIVITIES IS GOING HIKING AT RED ROCK!!! IT'S FUN, IT'S OUTSIDE OF VEGAS, YOU'RE OUT IN NATURE, AND BEST OF ALL IT'S FREE...WELL YOU DO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARK FEE, BUT IT'S CHEAP!!!! I LOVE WATCHING THE KIDS EXPLORE AND PRETEND THAT THEY ARE ON AN ALL TIME COOL ADVENTURE!!!!
EVER SINCE SANTA DROPPED OFF A WII AT OUR HOUSE, WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING FOR THE REAL THING. DURING SPRING BREAK WE HAD A LOT OF THINGS PLANNED AND THIS WAS OUR NIGHT TO PUT TALENTS TO THE TEST! UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME MY PRACTICING DIDN'T PAY OFF!!! STILL HAD A BLAST AND NICO EVEN GOT HIS VERY FIRST STRIKE!! GOOD TIMES!!
