June 24, 2012 - Sunday at Lola Zonia's house

I've had this idea of strawberry picking with the kids for some time.  I thought it would be fun and a good activity for the kids so on Sunday, I woke up early, gathered the kids, my niece and her little one, Lily (my goddaughter).


Rules: 
1. Do not cross over to the other rows of strawberries that have not been assigned to you
2. Do not eat the strawberries as you pick them.


Only 2 simple rules.  Do you think my kids would follow them?  Of course not, they are only 2 and 3 year olds.  Thank goodness they didn't eat so much that they left a mark around their mouths.

Family picture.  It would have been great except Caitlin is picking her nose.

....and here she is trying to catch her booger to eat it.  Nice!!!

My niece and my goddaughter Lily.

This picture was actually taken by Connor.

Yup, Connor jumping over the rows of strawberries and I'm sure Caitlin will pick and eat her strawberry.  She mostly chose the green strawberries.  I had to remove them before I paid for their pails.

In the afternoon, we headed over to Lola Zonia's house to chill out with the cousins.

I can't even remember now why Connor was upset but I'm sure he was okay once he got his freezies.

Yay for happy baby!!

All is good in the world now that Connor has his freezie.

June 23, 2012 - Visit with Mrs. Viga Hetman

Today we visited Mrs. Hetman out in Acton.  She has an aweome house with a huge yard and a manmade pond.  The best feature is that the house is already childproof.  That's the best type of house that we like to visit.

If you look closely you can see the frog.

Yum, yum, I get a popsicle!!!  Love visiting others and mom and can't say no.  hee hee

Here's the second frog

You don't see it but there are some fishes in the pond and Caitlin is trying to attract them.  She's teasing them and letting them think that she has food for them.

June 14, 2012 - At Reyes' Residence

Hanging out at home after school while mommy cooks the dinner.

Now that Connor has a new found love of the bike, he constantly wants to be riding it.  He's a pro.

Caitlin's godmother was able to purchase a bike for her second-hand but it looks like we have to get a real bike for her.  This one is just not cutting it.

 All of the buddies riding together.

June 10, 2012 - Veronica's Graduation Party

Today we celebrated Veronica's graduation from Nursing School.

And this is what started it all.  The attendants all know what I'm talking about.

Look, Lola is smiling.  She's not reprimanding anyone.  ;-)

My beautiful goddaughter, Lily.  The little wee one with gorgeous eyes/eyelashes.

Lily and her Ate Caitlin.

Connor and his Kuya Jack.  Yup, they ruined Ninong's grass.  Won't be fixed until next year.

The happy couple.

....and the oldies play beer pong.  Ethan was just watching.

June 9, 2012 - Visiting Mama

 We all went to visit Mama at the nursing home.  Almost everyone was there.

Enjoying some snacks.

I swear they don't look like mother and son.  They look like brother and sister.

Don't know what the look is for but at least the older cousins are smiling.

Ah Mama, the sun is good for the soul.

We are all together...for once.

"Too loud for my ears!!!"  Actually, I don't know what Caitlin is on about and probably Cody didn't either but pretending to know what she's talking about so she doesn't freak out.

My monkeys.

Looking like she's in deep thought.

And then decides to scream at someone...not too sure who.

May 22, 2012 - At Kuya John's house

Here are the kids hanging out with their older cousins.  They can't dribble yet so they're finding some other activities to keep themselves occupied.

Joshua on a layup.  Is that what's it's called?

Cody's turn.

Guess who's giving the evil eye.

Brian revamped Cody's bike and made it into a tricycle for Connor.  He absolutely loves it and he's becoming a pro.

Caitlin always needs to get in on the action.



 ...and onwards to Hot Wheels time...except there was a dinosaur who demolished the track...not naming any names.

May 13, 2012 - Trip back to Toronto

As many of you know my mother is not well so we all traveled to Toronto so we can be with her.

Connor hugging his Daddy.  They haven't seen him for 2 weeks.

Waiting for our first leg of the trip to Toronto via Calgary.
