Pulling Hair

Ever since Sadie was born she would grab her hair and pull at it. She would be content and then all of the sudden start screaming hysterically. We would then find her pulling at her hair. I had my camera with me this time she did it. It's funny how you learn the cries of your children, I now know by the way she cries when she is pulling at her hair.

Back to school night

Blake had his back to school night tonight. Since his school is around the corner we decided to walk. The boys had fun playing in the stroller before we left.

I really love Blake's teacher Mrs. Corona and he also likes her. Blake loves going to school and playing with his friends Javier and Juan. He loves it when he is picked to be the super star and when he gets a lollipop for knowing his lollipop letters. Here Blake is standing in front of a picture he drew of himself.

When I asked Blake where he wanted me to take a picture of him in his classroom he stood behind the smart board and started posing. So here are some pictures of Blake posing where nobody else could see him being goofy.

Sadie's Smiles

Sadie now smiles all the time and it's so cute.

She is most happy right after she wakes up.

Broken Arm

Well we know this day would come when Blake would break a bone. Last night after dinner he was playing in our tree with the neighbor kids. Blake jumped out of the tree after about five minutes of him crying and saying his arm hurt really bad we figured it was broken. We took him to urgent care last night where they took x-rays saw that it was broken and put a soft temporary cast on for the night.

Here is Blake's x-ray. He broke his bone right by his wrist. Luckily it is is left arm, so he can still write at school.

Today we had to take Blake to the orthopedic surgeon where they put his new cast on. The doctor was impressed with Blake because he didn't cry when he had to set his arm in the cast.

Blake with his new cast in front of the tree he jumped out of. He will have this cast on for three weeks then they will put a half cast on for another couple of weeks.

Sadly Blake is now on the DL for t-ball.

No it's a cookie!

Blake has been wanting to play baseball for a long time now. He kept asking us to sign him up. Finally our city had it's t-ball season and our friend was coaching a team and put Blake on his team. He is so excited to play baseball.

He is on the Orioles. After his first practice he was on the phone talking to his grandpa and telling him all about his baseball team. Their conversation went something like this:

Blake: I am on the Orioles
Grandpa: Do you know what an Orioles is?
Blake: Yea it's a cookie
Grandpa: Well there are also birds called Orioles
Blake: NO! It's a cookie
Grandpa: Yes, but there is a bird called an Oriole
Blake: No I'm on the cookie team!

Blake would have none of grandpa's talk about his team being named after a bird, he was determined it was named after the Oreo cookie.

The next week we had team pictures and we got him an Orioles hat. When we got home Blake was saying how we needed to cheer for the Orioles and that he was so happy to be on the Orioles. He was happy about his new hat he got so I said,"Yea and I like the bird on your hat."
Blake then took off his hat his face dropped and he says, "Oh man grandpa was right!" "Dang it I can't believe grandpa was right!" "He told me it was a bird and I said it was a cookie!" "But there are cookies called Oreos huh mom."

I was laughing so hard at him. He kept going on and on about how he was wrong.

Yes, Blake once in a while grandpa is right. (but we usually don't admit it to him when he is.)

Chino Museum

Today my sister-in-law Danielle and I took our children to the Chino Museum. On the first Friday of the month it is free and they have a different activities for the kids to do. They had a lot of fun playing in the different areas and doing crafts.

Logan was on his own agenda and didn't want to do anything our group was doing.

Blake and Carson on the police motorcycle.

They had a science guy there and the kids got to make slime. It was a lot of fun, they even gave smoothies out at the end. Can't beat a free day of activities!

Sadie's blessing

Today we had Sadie blessed at church.

Sadie wore a very special blessing dress. It was the same dress that her Grandma Rochelle wore, her great aunt Sandie, Aunt Jeanette, Mom, second cousins Darien, Mikayla, Avery, and her cousin Kayla.
