September 2013

This little one became a big sister!

 

 

 

Meet out new cousin, Noah Rain

I can't start making memories with this little guy!

 We spent the day at the park.

Kaya is taking the whole thing in stride.

 Noah slept the entire time we visited the park.

We got to pass him from person to person

and cuddle him to our hearts desire.

 Group shot.

One of many I hope!

We also celebrated Guatemala Independence day!

The kids made awesome pages for their life books.

 

 

They did a great job!

Thank you to JoAnn for coordinating and planning the super pages.

 

Oscar's page

 Sofia's page

 Irma's page

 Lily's page

Hard work deserves some park play.

 

Celebrations are not complete without a piñata.

Awesome August!

 

I managed to bribe my parents to go to the river with me.

It's just not summer without a trip to the river!

Lily has begun to be quite the little fish.

She was really comfortable in the water.

 

 

 

We went to our home town for the fair this year.

Such a breath of fresh air in comparison to the State Fair.

 

 Why wouldn't you climb into a giant hamster ball and walk on water?

 I love this face. 

She was so proud of all the gold she had collected.

 The antics of Daddy and Lily.

They were made for each other.

 Look who started 2nd Grade!

 And Lastly we took these two to get their pictures taken.

It was one calamity after another.

The picture below was taken on my cellphone and was the best shot of the day.

I think it is rather hilarious.

Lily showing her cousin the ropes on how to hide from the

Mammarazi!

And Lastly a sweet secret shared between cousins.

This picture was taken first I think they may be devising their evil plan here.



Fun in July!

We had some fun in July.

First up our annual Guat Kids Pool party!

Sofia Irma Maya Oscar and Lily had a wonderful time.

These two are always posing like statues.

 

This picture was quite the endeavor but all five of them are on it!

 



What's summer without a little camping.

Wally was the hit of this trip.

 

 

Summer is just not summer without a trip to the beach.

 

 

And back to the city we go! 

It was quite cold but nothing to cry about.

 

Golden Gate Park

Peter is Parkor Pete!

Japanese Tea Gardens

My Aunt Sandy did a little skydiving.

We showed her we had the spirit too.
