Some random pictures...

Bentley baby sitting up!

Here are some randoms of the kids. Auntie Kelly came over for a swim a few weeks ago and Grandma and Grandpa stopped by that day on the way home from a road trip AND the P's were also over so we had a full house!  We love entertaining and having busy weekend days and quiet weekend nights.  The kids pretty much live at the pool and we meet all our neighbors there with their kiddies so we have plenty of company:)

He absolutely loves this toy!

BOO!

Grandma and Grandpa's surprise visit

The kids spend the weekends at the pool but sometimes Presto can't wait so we turn on the flower sprinklers and he's in heaven

Baby Kennedy Alvarado enjoying the Tees rock n sleeper:) She was so cozy

Definitely our water baby

Cheers Dada

Oh actually, this is what he does best!

Night night darling baby

Phia's last day of school 2012

She just loves her uniform!

We cannot believe how much our Sophia has grown this year. She's lightyears beyond her age in so many ways. We had to remind ourselves all year that she was only 3. From reciting new prayers(she learned the Our Father, and Hail Mary in the first month of school) to all the cleaver songs she learned to help her remember the alphabet, she was always excited to share with us when she got home. I spoke to Ms. Katelyn this morning(school principal) and she asked if we'd be interested in having Sophia skip room 2 and go straight to room 3 next year b/c she feels Phia is too advanced for room 2. So many things to think about. We don't want to rush things...she's still our little baby!

Presto was excited for the picnic too.  He put stickers all over himself on the way there and he's displaying them here(you can't see them though..ha!)

Family photo complete with a very excited "cheeeeese" from Presto

Bentley being his adorable self enjoying some rays

They brought out all the props from The Last Horrah out and Presto felt like such a big boy hiding inside:)

We love Ms. Jen!

The kids enjoyed treats!

Mama's not a fan of popsicles but how can you say no to this face??



Proud mommy

We had so much fun as the room mom's this year!

Auntie Mary visits!

"Cheeeeeese"(Presto's got it down!)

 We had a VERY special visitor on Saturday.  Auntie Mary came to town! We only got a few pictures but Phia misses her very much already.  When she woke up from her nap she was devastated that Mar was gone.  Phia said "Mary loves me very much and I love her".  Mama and Auntie Mary were able to gab for hours(best part of the day) on our little road trip to Bakersfield for Christy's shower! We hope she comes back sooooon!!!

Presto is a fan!

Our sweet bear loves his Auntie

This is Mar's "Omg he's so cute" face:)

This is what 18 years of friendship looks like!

Christy is 28 weeks preggy and looks gorgeous!

THE LAST HOORAH!



We forget how teeny tiny she still is.  She's the cutest lil' cowgirl we know!



Phia had a very special 3 hour celebration at school this past Friday night called The Last Hoorah. Only 20 kids in the whole school were aloud to attend and the teachers went ALL OUT! Each child got their own cowboy/girl hat and bandana on arrival and they were treated to bbq food served by all the teachers. We recieved a WANTED poster last week(she did her best mean face) and she came home from the hoorah with another WANTED poster this time with a REWARD atached:)When we picked her up she was drinking a rootbeer float out of a cowboy boot and an entire bandana full of loot(toys and candy). They did lots of games and crafts and had a jail and bank set up. Phia had a blast.  It was a "kids only" event so we were sad to not see every moment but we're looking forward to the end of school picnic this Thursday!!

She did NOT want to come home!!



All the teachers were dressed up.  Ms Jen even sported a stash.  Phia is drinking her rootbeer float out of her boot!



This poster was sent to us last week...

This poster was sent home with Phia from the hoorah!

Grandpa's birthday fun!

In deep thought...

 Sunday BT, Uncle Frank, and Grandpa went golfing and Auntie Sarah and I took the kids to the pool!  Auntie Sarah and I loved catching up and the kids had a blast in the pool.  We all met back at  the house for some italian food and cake!

oh the life this kid has...

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

The boys...just hanging out! 

I ran in the house for a minute on Sat and came back to find Presto feeding B his bottle. Oh the love...
