Ninja Turtles Movie!!

Braydon is stll strongly into the Ninja Turtles, it's been over a year now of Ninja Turtle devotion so you can imagine how excited he was for the new movie to come out in theaters!  Dad took him to Cineoplois in La Costa to see it and Braydon was on cloud 9!  His new favorite song is Shell Shocked which is the movie's theme song, it's pretty hard core.  He plays it over and over again.  He recited the entire movie to me when they got home :)

Chargers first PreSeason Game of the 2014 season

Craig and Braydon went to the first game of the preseason together at the Q.  Braydon LOVES going to football games with his Dad.

River weekend with the family

We had a family trip out to the river with Grandma & Grandpa Schwarz and Aunt Cristin and Steve (Abada).  It was a fun, relaxing weekend.  The kids loved the boat rides and playing on the sandbar and we had some delicious dinners of course.

We made a stop at In n Out on the way!  Yum!

Siena has graduated to the next level in Dance!

Siena LOVES to sing and dance and it shows in her dance class.  She is the star of her class.  She's so good that her teacher pulled me aside and said she thought she should advance to the next level early. She was in Tu Tu Tots which is a Mommy and Me class and typically they aren't allowed to move up until they are 2 1/2 but they pulled strings to move her up 2 months early :)  So proud of my tiny dancer!!!

Siena's first Mani/Pedi

Siena loves Mommy to paint her toes and nails so I decided to take her to an official salon for her first mani/pedi.  It was a ton of fun.  She picked out pink for her fingers and purple for her toes.  She sat very still on my lap while the woman painted her nails.  Then when it was Mommys turn to paint my toes she read me an us magazine telling fake stories about cats she saw in ads.  She's such a funny  girl, I see many Mother/daughter pedis and spas in our future ;)

Siena is a Bookworm

Siena LOVES to read.  She will line up her dolls or stuffed animals and read them her version of whatever is going on in the book.  It's pretty funny.  She carries books around with her everywhere, there are piles in every corner of our house.

Siena the artist!

Siena is turning out to be quite the artistic genius.  She got her an easel because she was always wanting to draw or paint and she is on it every day.  She is very detailed and concentrates hard on every stroke of her brush.

Grandma Pavlina loves Siena's art so much she hung it on her wall at home :)

Giants vs Padres July game

We took the train down on July 6th to Petco Park for Kidsfest at the stadium.  The Giants came to town and all us Nor Cal natives decided to make a group outing for it.  The Rossittos, Elizondos and Cooleys all were there to enjoy in the festivities.  There was face painting, bouncy houses, balloon animals and batting cages.  The kids LOVED the train ride.  Siena missed her nap and had so much fun that she ended up passing out on a park bench while waiting for the train.

4th of July at Bressi Ranch with good friends!

We spend 4th of July at Bressi Ranch with the Rossittios, Lunds, Cooleys and Ernest families.  Their awesome neighborhood goes all out for the holidays.  For the 4th they had a parade and a block party.  The kids are all great friends and have the best time playing together.  The Cooleys got a golf cart which was fun for the kids to take rides on and there was a slip n slide.  The food was delicious and we drank Caipirinhas which brought Craig and I back to Brazil :)  It was a perfect day.

Braydon's training wheels are off!!!

Craig decided he was going to try and have Braydon ride his bike without his training wheels and after giving him some pointers Braydon did it on the very first try!  We couldn't believe it!  He just took off down the street!  So proud!!!
