Reading Week

Reading Week

The kids were able to celebrate each day of Nevada Reading Week by dressing up each day. Monday they dressed up as a Super Hero.  We couldn’t find Curtis’s super hero cape so we pulled out his Mario costume.  Mario saves a princess so he must be a super hero, right?  Alessia wore her Princess cape with a bunch of… Read more →

Date Nights

Date Nights

The elementary school had their annual Sock Hop last month.  I didn’t think my kids really wanted to go but of course the day of they decided that they couldn’t miss out. While Alessia was at school I hurried up and made her a poodle skirt so she could wear it to the dance.  John being the great dad that… Read more →

The Firestation

The Firestation

John flew home just in time for me to go with Alessia on her school field trip to the fire station. We walked to the fire station that is a mile up from the school. I was worried how the kids would do.  But they all did quite well.  They walked there and back without much complaining. I have been… Read more →

Sea World

Sea World

When John and I were in San Diego for our anniversary we went to Sea World.  The cost of one day admission is the same as the annual pass.  Since we had the annual pass we decided to take the kids to Sea World when we went back last month. While the kids enjoyed it they didn’t enjoy the same… Read more →

Alessia

Alessia

Alessia is such a character.  She loves to act all grown up.  She tries to be able to carry on conversations with John and I that are just above her level of comprehension.  But she just loves to be able to give her input and be apart of everything. She is super duper loving.  She loves to give kisses and… Read more →

Gianluca loves the Sand

Gianluca loves the Sand

When we got to the beach we put Gianluca on a towel but he didn’t stay there long.  He wanted to crawl into the sand.  Amazingly, he didn’t even really try to eat the sand.  He just touched it and played with the sand toys.  He did quite amazing at the beach.  I am hoping that in three months he… Read more →

Curtis at the Beach

Curtis at the Beach

Curtis is a lot like me, just a little cautious.  He likes to try new things but is scared of not doing them right.  He starts out slow and then ends up having a great time.  He hoped right into the ocean but didn’t go out to far and wasn’t getting too wet.  Then Alessia went all in so he… Read more →

Micah at Mission Bay

Micah at Mission Bay

Micah loves the beach but does not love the Ocean.  He will go near the water and tries to like it.  He just couldn’t stand the seaweed or any of the debris that was found in the water touching him. He absolutely loves sand and building things.  He kept building holes and trying to fill them with water but the… Read more →

Alessia at the Beach

Alessia at the Beach

Alessia can have fun anywhere she goes.  She loved going to mission beach.  She got lost in her own little world building her own sand castle. She also has no fear.  She ran straight into the ocean and did not stop.  We told the kids they could only go up to their knees but Alessia got so distracted that she… Read more →

San Diego-Here We Come

San Diego-Here We Come

John was out of town for two weeks, then home a few days and gone another two days.  When he got back the kids were on Spring Break.  We decided if we could find a hotel at a decent price we would take the kids to San Diego. Lucky for me and the kids we were able to find one… Read more →
