We found Mr Smiley Tomato when we were cutting open a tomato from our garden to have some yummy tomato sandwiches for lunch.  He brings a smile to my face every time I run across his picture!

We even had neighbors come to enjoy the fun!!

 Missy is very excited about her big sparkler.

Wonderful show.  Cannot wait for next year!!

Sister's Birthday Bash!

 Getting ready to leave...

And now all ready to shop!  :)
And here they come!  Ready to blow our minds with their fabulous styles!

 Look at these Divas!  Rock it!

 Getting ready for Piñata time... Sister LOVES this part.

 Here she goes!!

 And, she didn't break it that first swing, but, once it was broken, she took fashion to another level and decided that the top of the piñata would be a perfect hat!

 Here is Sister's cake...

 Blowing out the candles.

 And taking her bite.  haha

 Messy Faced Sister!

 And, Happy as can be.  She had a wonderful Birthday, and we just love having her excitement around our home!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER SUE!

7/18/10

The REAL DEAL... =D
Sister is having a great day, and really is excited about opening her presents.

Missy is wanting a little bit of the spotlight too!  haha

And now, trying to be a monster.

And now it is time for the cake.  This is one of our favorite parts!

I had made her a special bracelet.  She was excited!

And Aiko got her some things too.  So sweet!

7/19/10

Our puppy (who really isn't a puppy) is the sweetest.  He loves finding pillows on the ground to lay down on.

7/23/10

We had a family reunion with Enrique's family.  This one of the highlights of it for the kids.

7/24/10

The next day was fun as well!  There was face painting done by my sis-in-law, and they had games for the kids to earn tickets, and then at night we sat around a campfire and had s'mores and then lit off some fireworks.  :)

7/30/10

Now we are starting a trip to Las Vegas and California!  We are going to Cali for a week to enjoy some good family fun with Aiko.  We are going to Disneyland, and visiting family.  LOVE trips like these!
On a side note... Sister's feet are disgustingly dirty!  UGH!

 Driving is better than paying attention to the camera...

 When we got to Vegas, we stayed at Great-Grandma's house.  She really is great!  LOVE her!
And, this was something we had to let us know that she loves us too!

Aiko enjoying her food!

 Then we decided we had to go and see some of the places on the Strip.

 The water was one of the highlights.  The kids were trying so hard to be able to touch it.

 And, one of Diggy's favorites!  Anything with Sinatra makes her happy!

7/31/10

We made it to Cali!!!  And, we get to see my newest nephew, and more family!  :)  

What a cutie!!!  

We are happy to be here.  

Missy wanted to try and take a picture.  She did a pretty good job! 

The proud Papa!

And then we decided to have dinner at Joe's Crab Shack... yummy!

Aiko is getting fitted with her bib...

 She looks great!

 And this girl didn't want a bib.  haha  She is probably the one who needed it the most, too!

 Diggy's ready!!

 And, the sky is just gorgeous!  Love this!

All in all a great day.  Can't wait for to see what the next week holds!
