Random things that make me laugh...

• I come downstairs for church in a dress.  We are getting ready to walk out the door and  I put on my red shoes to match my dress.  Leah says, "mommy, those shoes make your outfit."  I asked her to repeat it to make sure she actually said that...and yes, she did.  No idea where she got that.
• Yesterday at the pool, the girls learned to plunge themselves underwater and shoot back up to take a breath.  The did this OVER and OVER for 25 minutes straight before I forced them (kicking and screaming) to take a break.  Then we did it again 5 min. later.  They are CRAZY for the pool!!
• They are really obsessed with "names" right now.  They are always asking what people's names are (especially Grandma...they ask at least 10 times a day what Grandma's name is).  Yesterday, they re-named Heidi, "Heidi Paredes Henderson".  They seem to think everyone has "Paredes" somewhere in their name.  They also ask what random objects names are."  Like "what's the tree's name?  What's the clouds name?  What's the street's name"?  When we are in the car it is a game we play constantly.  It has been a good way for me to sneak in a little spanish vocab...I just tell them all the "names" are the spanish words...so like, The tree's name is arbol.  They have learned quite a few words like.  Yay!
• Saying our goodnight prayers tonight as the girls were going to bed. They usually just repeat after me and then say AAAAMEN! Tonight...Leah wouldn't say Amen. She kept saying something I couldn't understand instead. So, I walked over to her crib and asked her to repeat what she was saying. "Thank God for Poooool Mommy, for Poool!"
• We had a nanny come interview the other day (not something I am willing to write a post on yet...I am still too sad to accept it!) and as she was leaving, Isabella said, "Hey..thanks so much for coming."

With the girls' vocabulary growing, they are becoming more and more entertaining!  I love hearing what they will come up with next!!  I keep forgetting to write the funny things down, so I am going to try to be more diligent about putting it on here!

Summer has started!

I have no idea how I am going to go back to school on Tuesday. I am completely in summer mode!  We had such a great long weekend.  On Saturday, we went to the pool in the morning, came home and napped, went fishing, ate chik fil a for dinner, then the girls watched their shows and I went for a walk all by myself for 45 minutes outside!  Perfect summer day!  Sunday, we went to church, stopped at a playground on the way home, went and got some frozen yogurt, nap, and then pool all afternoon!  Today, we went to the pool all morning and then just hung out, ran errands, and then colored on the sidewalk with chalk as we ate watermelon after dinner.  Oh how I long for school to be over so we can do this EVERY day!  Here are a few pictures from Saturday!



ready for our first trip to the pool



The water was a little chilly...



Snack break...can you tell Leah was hungry?



Even at the pool, this little monkey will find something to try to climb

Going fishing!

So excited to get a fish

Finally saw the goats in the neighborhood when I went on my walk...they put them around to clean up the brush.

Back to the pool on Sunday

Cesar's Birthday

We had a few friends over for a BBQ for Cesar's 35th birthday last night!  It was a lot of fun!  The girls had a great time playing with all the other kids and were especially excited to stay up TWO hours after their bedtime!

Giving Daddy some birthday love

Some of Cesar's good friends

Heidi and the girls (LOVE this picture of the three of them by the way)

No idea what Missy and I were talking about, but it looks very intense :)

Ummm....OK?
