Aloha Lilo!

Maddy loves her new costume!!  She is going to be Lilo for the Cruise. She just loves Lilo and Stitch so much so she decided she wanted to be Lilo. She has been wearing the costume non stop. We only have a little bit over 3 months before we embark on the trip of a lifetime and I cannot wait to see what Madison and Melanie are going to think of such an amazing experience. Here are some pics of my little Lilo... Aloha!!

Gymnastics video!

Here's an update!  Madison is back in gymnastics after 2 long weeks of Christmas break.. She was desperate to come back. She went to her class wearing her new Shawn Johnson leo, she took her Shawn Johson doll, etc... she was all ready for class. She had a great class!  She is gaining so much speed when she is on the harness doing full back tucks!  And she is now doing them in the air. Kathy is trying to see if Maddy will do them without holding on to the harness so hopefully soon she will be able to!  She is doing great, we paid for her tuition for the this new session and for next term we will be doing private lessons twice a month with coach Kathy, and if everything goes like Kathy is planning on she will be starting on advance by next fall!. Heres a new video of our little gymnast. She is progressing so much at what she is learning!



My big girl

My baby is getting so fast!  She is now drinking out of a sippy cup and drinking whole milk!!  We are finishing up the last can of formula we have but after that she is done and she will be drinking regular milk. Here are some pics of my big girl and her new friend... her sippy cup!



Sisters fun!


The girls had a blast the other day. They had a relaxing morning playing in their jammies and then they played all day together. We stayed home and hung out, played games, watch movies, etc. Here are some pics of my babies having a fun day playing together.






Reyes Magos! (3 Kings Day)

Every year in Mexico we have the tradition of the 3 Kings Day (Reyes Magos in spanish). Since we were kids we waited anxiously for them to bring presents on the morning of January 6th. I have always encourage my children to be mexican like I am. Even tho we live in US our kids have another heritage that I want them to be proud of. There are so many judgements about how life in Mexico is and all I can say is.. its wonderful. I couldnt be any more proud of being who I am. Madison and Melanie get to have so many more traditions like I did when I was little. Maddy loves 3 Kings day and she had a blast this year sharing with her little sister that special day.  They left their shoe the night before and the 3 Kings came while they were sleeping and left a little gift for them. Here are the pics..

Allison and Madison New Years fun!


The girls had a blast!! The played so much and they were so happy to see each other. It was so funny because Madison had her cheerleader outfit on for the New Years and when she opened the door Allie was wearing hers too hahaha It was so cute!  They played Wii and they watched the new Ariel movie. Here are some pics of the little bffs celebrating New Years together!









 

Madison the gymnast, ballerina and now... the cheerleader

So this kiddo is gonna keep us busy. LOL  She is definitely a gymnastics girl, she loves ballet (although she says she gets bored a little bit) I guess ballet is too mellow for her haha, and now she wants to be a cheerleader too. Santa brought her a cheerleader costume and mommy got a cheerleader game for the Wii so this was the result. Did you check out the moves?? She is actually pretty good at it!  She even says... READY OK!  now haha. After her ballet recital on June 12th we are gonna stop going to ballet and she is gonna try cheerleading lessons so that, preschool and gymnastics she will be one busy woman and I will be well.. a taxi driver haha.

Melanie is 11 months!

My baby is 11 months! She will be 1 in a month! I cannot believe how fast this year went by. We are getting so ready for her birthday party. She is just the most amazing baby ever. She is so happy that I cannot believe it. She loves saying mamma, dadda, hi, baba and she loves her sissy but she is definitely a mommy's girl. She is crawling everywhere, cruising around the furniture, going up the stairs, playing, laughing, etc. She is amazing!  She is our little miracle and I just love her so very much. My girls are my life and I love to see how much they love each other. We love you Meuuuanie!! Almost time for your 1st birthday!
