Earth Day Should Be EVERY Day!

I have been working on teaching the girls how to take care of our plantet earth. Chloe knows when something needs to be recycled and puts it into the appropriate bin, Kayla not so much, but she will learn.
A couple weeks ago Chloe started asking for a garden so that she could grow her own food. I am hoping that she understands that what comes out of a garden is usually what she refuses to eat, time will tell. So, my Dad got up early one morning and went to Lowes with us to get the items we needed and then came back to our house to build it- thank God for Dads! He and Chloe took care of everything to the point of planting the seeds and plants- my Mom helped Chloe with that! We already have carrots sprouting from the seeds they planted!
I am hoping to start composting soon. For those of you that do not know, I was born in Berkeley, CA, so I loved the earth from the start! And, according to Cesar that also makes me a hippie. So, peace my brothers and sisters :o)

Taylor Swift

Chloe LOVES Taylor Swift! She knows the words to her songs and no matter where she is she will sing and dance to ALL of Taylor's songs.
April 2nd we received a phone call from Altura Credit Union saying that Chloe had won the Taylor Swift life size cutout that we had entered her to win. Chloe couldn't have been happier. Taylor watched TV with us. Taylor had an Easter bbq with us. Life was happy.
Then on April 12th we received another phone call from ACU, this time telling us that we had won Taylor Swift concert tickets for the show on the 15th! Chloe had no idea as to what that meant but she was excited! We drove to LA that night, Cesar, Chloe, Kayla, and myself, just to get turned away at the door. You see, when they called they told us that it was for Thursday, the envelope was marked for Thursday, BUT the tickets were for Friday. So, on the 16th, Cesar had to work, so I had a wonderful family, the Knells, watch Kayla and I took Chloe to the concert. This time the let us in! We were 3 rows from the VERY top of the Staples Center- that is HIGH! Taylor Swift had 2 openers, one that I didn't know and Kelli Pickler, that I love! Taylor took a LONG time getting to the stage and before she even did Chloe was asking to go home. I made a deal, thinking that she would enjoy the show so much that she would change her mind, that after 2 songs we would leave. As soon as Taylor Swift got on the stage Chloe started shaking, hyperventilating, and had tears in her eyes. It was the sweetest thing that I have ever seen and I thought, we were in it for the entire concert. But, no, 2nd song finished and Chloe said "we can go home now." I wish that we could have seen more of the show but I still had a blast with my little MONSTER!

Proud Momma!

I am such a proud Momma!!!!

Chloe now knows how to write her name, she can identify (out of order) 24/26 letters and knows the sounds that go with them, she knows 7/8 colors (who needs to know black anyway!?!?), and 5/8 shapes!!!!

She has her first ballet class this coming Monday. Ever since she started watching the cartoon "Olivia" she has been showing me her ballet skills, I thought that it was time she learned new steps!

My most favorite thing that Chloe has done in the past few weeks was when I put her down to sleep she prayed "Thank you for my family, thank you for my friends, thank you for your love that never ever ends. Thank you for making me a princess ballerina, but I really want to be a mermaid." Gotta love the thought process of a 3 year old!!!!

Kayla is running, climbing, jumping, and getting into EVERYTHING! She has been in her big girl bed for about a week- I will post pictures of that later. She HAS to wear sunglasses while we are in the car and loves, loves, loves her purses and jewelry. She loves being Mommy's helper and has better listening skills then both Cesar and Chloe. You can see how big her heart is by looking at her smiles. She is absolutely precious!!!!

Here are a few random pictures. I will post more once I get organized.

December

December was AWESOME! Kayla learned how to walk, blow kisses, and say buh bye. Chloe learned what Christmas is all about and shared it with anyone, and I mean anyone, who would listen. She would tell strangers to "Go have some cake. It's Jesus's birfday!"

From Thanksgiving weekend on, Cesar and I made it a point to do something fun for the girls, EVERY weekend. We did it on a budget, so sometimes we would end up going to look at some cool Christmas lights with coco, but they always had fun! We went to Tom's Farm and played, we went to see the Alta Loma lights, we went to a Christmas party, we went to a Winter Wonderland, and we went on a beautiful horse drawn carriage ride to see the lights downtown, perfect for my 2 princesses, oh and, Santa came to our house!!!! He brought Chloe a "big girl bike" and Kayla a pink push car with a giant frog! All 4 of us ended up with the flu Christmas morning which kind of dampened the festivities, but we still had fun! The following Sunday we went up to the snow. I will post pictures of that later. The 3 girls, me included, were ready to move anywhere there was snow. Chloe wanted to live on the side of the road, where we stopped to play in the snow, with her sleeping bag.

God still continues to bless us and we are extremely thankful for it! I LOVE being a Mommy!

I am no good at downloading pictures to the blog, they always end up in a random order, so my apologies for the following...
