Legoland!

This place is the best! Let me just say that i'm 8 months pregnant, i didn't get to ride any rides, i forgot my sunglasses at the hotel, i needed to pee and take breaks every 20 minutes or so.. and still, this place was waaaaayyyyyy funner than any other amusement park we've been to by far!
Lolo, Lola, and the Juarez gals were able to join us on our trip. Thank God for that cause i really believe Leelai had soooo more fun than if she had just been by herself.

Mini-manny enjoys Miniland.

I know the faces look small here but this is good ol' Lolo n Lola taking the kids on Coastersauras. The ride looked pretty fast but the kids loved it! They are way more daring than we were when we were their age. Jill takes the cake when it comes to daring. She was down to do whatever Jackie wanted to do and she barely made the height limit on some of the rides.

The baby with many chompers enjoys the scenery. (update on Jam: she's walking , babbling, and has 12 teeth)

I'm gonna try something new. I uploaded all the pictures onto Shutterfly so you can see them all here. But on this blog i wanna share all the video clips. Hopefully it goes well cause this thing uploads real slow.





This clip is of Leelai and Joie driving. They did so well at avoiding traffic jams and slow drivers. When their turn was up, they got out of their cars and spent 2 minutes hi-fiveing each other.

The professionals got their license!

The girls all locked up. I've never felt safer around them.

This is of Joie and Leelai waiting for the little bucket to splash water on them. The water area was definitely the best part of the whole park.

Okay, Jackie and Jill are in this structure somewhere. This is the biggest splash i have ever seen! Manny and I wanted soooo badly to jump in on the fun.

This is a classic! Look at Joie in this one (sitting on Lolo's right side). She looks like she's about to toss her churros! I didn't catch it in the clip, but in the end, she opens her eyes and raised her hands in the air as if the ride was a piece of cake. Crazy Jill and Mar, on the other hand, had the time of their life! Leelai actually cheated cause she rode this ride already with her Papa so she knew what to expect.

All in all, we had a blast! In the end, we all went back to our hotel for some Chinese food, cookies, and milk.

The last week of being a preschooler

Honestly, when did time decide to fast forward all of a sudden?


This week is the last week of Leelai going to pre-school. I'm gonna miss those crazy teachers, but not for long cause next fall, Jam will be old enough to start going there! I know that sounds early but that's about the same time Leelai started going to that school... which was about January of 05. Let me show you comparison pictures.

June 05 Concert

June 08 Concert

I remember first bringing her there and she was one of the smallest fries in the school. The big 4 year olds intimidated the hell out of me. I use to think "they better be carefully around her or i'm kicking some 4 year old butt!" Now, she's the 4 year old that looks like a monster kid next to the tiny 2 year olds. This past June was her last Concert and Pre-school Graduation. She and a fellow classmate recited a short bible verse, and she really sang her heart out unlike her first concert where she mostly sat there and shyly looked around.
