Visit to the Dentist

2010-04-16T22:21:00.000-07:00

Isabella was so excited to go to the dentist she swore that she was loosing a tooth and insisted that I make her an appointment with the dentist 'cause they will know, she has never been to the dentist but it was now time.

So eager to meet Dr. Khai and to show him which tooth was loose, when he told her that all the teeth in her mouth were in nice & tight and will stay put until she was about 7! She then told him I do have these other pointed teeth do you think I'm like a vampire? Cause I'm not maybe those are the ones that should fall out......lol

Needless to say it was great experience going to the dentist and Dr. Khai got a real kick out of her and she had her teeth cleaned and no cavities!

I love to read but I've seemed to have lost the time to do it. Then I heard from my niece Nicole about these books and thought vampires, NO Thanks! Then my sister Lisa and friend Karen both read them after curiosity from Nicole, and scrappin' friend Eve and what they said after book #1 was the Vampires are VERY likable. That's all I had to hear....

I read book #1 Twilight LOVED it when I finished that one I wanted to run out and get a vampire of my own!!

Then I couldn't wait to read #2 New Moon after the 1st chapter I wasn't so eager for that vampire of my own after all, but at the end I LOVED it and left me thirsty for more!

Now on book #3 Eclipse I'm in the middle and now taking my time since only one more to go.... This is why I've been behind on my blog :( :0)

"O" my word time flies when your having fun! I've been so bad about updating my blog so sorry. I can't believe that the summer had come and gone so quickly. We have been enjoying the weather and our backyard!! Isabella is growing sooo fast everyday there is something amazing that she does or says to us and how much she is growing, what a smart cookie she is. She is very excited to be starting Lollipop Lane Preschool next month. I will put a task on my list of things to do which is to get our latest summer fun moments off my camera on our hard drive then to the blogger! Until then I hope everyone is well and Making Magical Memories.

Isabella kept saying "Happy Anniversary my Parents!" We all hung out at the new local library at the Manor in San Leandro very nice and fun time together....

Shh everyone is soo quite here....

I'll take these....
We were surprised to learn after we had all chosen the books we wanted to check out, since our address wasn't in San Leandro the library card would cost $50 for the year. No thanks we will be going to San Lorenzo "O" well.

Yeah Vistors!

2008-08-03T19:30:00.000-07:00

A Bit of Bribery

2008-08-01T14:51:00.000-07:00

We have been working on potty training and it was going great, but Little Miss said, "I'm all done I'll just go in my pull up and I don't want anymore Jelly Beans!" That was her reward when she would go. So Mom & Dad decided to try a new route.....

We purchased a Sand/Water Table today and she loves it!

Sweetie there is a catch!

You can play with your new sand table as long as your pull up stays dry but if you wet it the sandbox will be closed for the rest of the day. As you can see by the look on her face she is really thinking about this new rule :)

By the way so far so good!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

2007-12-24T23:59:00.000-08:00

It's amazing how much our little angel has grown since last christmas! This year was Magical enjoying it through Isabella's eyes she is so excited for the whole celebration, even though she still too young to understand the true meaning of Christmas it was awesome to begin our traditions with her.

Here are a few of my favorite moments...... We wen't to the childrens mass, when we said Amen Bella did the same, "Amen but with a yeah!...a young lady next to us sneezed & Bella said, "Bless you..." When we held hands she said "Praying"

When Santa arrived at my parents with candy canes, Bella says, "Tiny Santa candy" Which is funny to us since the Santa she took her picture with was "Big Santa" Hmm there's something familar about this, small santa :)

Isabella loved the Karaoke with the Christmas songs we had been singing all month you couldn't get the mic from here.... She happily sang about the 4th word of each sentence example is the song was Santa Claus is coming to town Bella's version was like.... Santa, Town, Sleeping, Good, Bad, Out! "O" yes & was tappin' her foot the whole time....LOL

What a night it's after Midnight in this picture, "MERRY CHRISTMAS" Bella danced the night away in mommy's arms to finally fall asleep...
