I totally missed posting in July. I kick my self because I didn't even take any pictures of the 4th of July. It was Alexandra's first, and I missed it. We went to one of my old co-workers Angelica Hopgood's house. She has a daughter born the day before Alex's (even though she wasn't due til 2 wks after me). We just hung out and talked and ate food. It was low key. We were just glad to be invited. On the way home, we found the perfect place to watch the fireworks. It is really close to our home, and every where we looked we could see fireworks. The best part about it was no traffic. I think we plan to make it a traditional place to go.
My girls have been having a great time playing with each other. They built
this tower of blocks one morning. I thought it was great team work, and pretty creative.
For Big Mommy's (Adele) birthday we went to eat at her favorite place when she comes to Vegas, In-N-Out.
She wasn't there in person, but she was thought of and loved from afar.
I just love to see my two little ones play and make each other laugh. Plus they are so great when they are clean.
Adele has given Sarah a couple of the American Girl dolls, and gave the baby to Annadele. She had sent the matching pj's awhile ago, but they were too big for her. Now they fit, and I had to get a pic of
Mommy and baby. It was freaky how much the baby doll looked like Alex when she was 4 or 5 months old.
One thing I have been doing with my girls is taking them to the library for story time. They had a special performance with Jim Gill that I took them too.
We all had such a good time. I even had to buy one of his cd's, and a book. I told Sarah I would buy both, but the book she would have to wait to open at Christmas time.
We had the Sorenson's stay with us on their way to Cailfornia, and then
again on their way back. Mark went all out for breakfast. He had Emiko help him make cat head biscuits and gravy. It was yummy! They did a great job. : )
On their way home, they stayed again. I took them to M&M world. We saw the 4 floors of the store, watched the little movie they had, and then it was time to go home. I would have liked to show them a few more places, but everyone was tired and worn out. Three days of Disney Land and they had had enough. That just means they have to come back to visit again. Mark made a delicious dinner of prime rib, mashed potatoes, veggies, rolls. Sarah and I had made cookies the night before. I don't think any one went hungry that night. Kimi and I stayed up way to late that night chatting, but it was so fun to have girl time. It took me a couple of days to recoup, but can't wait for another good time at our reunion.
