Second Grade

 Thursday's are my "home school days", lately Lola has been coming

to help me and it has been a big help for mom.

Now I have to write neat every sheet;
but I still enjoy spending the extra time

with my Lola.

For 2nd grade marketplace I made sold out cookies.

This was the best homework I have had all year!

Preschool Play

 My brother and sister are lucky to have each other,

they love to play together.  Here are some of the things that they do

for preschool play...playdoh, dress up, swinging and 

lots of imagination play (Bear loves to be a cat and Lil a dog).

 It is always a highlight when Lola comes over to play too!

 Lilli made a monster.

Spring Break

For Spring Break we had a stay-cation; but we went to the beach.

 Bear & Lilli went in the freezing water, fearless.

I stayed back.

 Bear likes building sand castles (and destroying them).

 The next day we went to the LA Science Museum

and saw the Endeavour.  It was cool!

LEGOLAND

  On the last unofficial day of Spring Break we got to go to Lego-land.

Mikayla, Milanie and me go to hang out all day.

 Bear liked seeing Chima.

 Playing Lego's.

Sunday Family Time

Since last weeks adventure was so much fun,

daddy decided to take us on another adventure.

This week it was to the Riverside Citrus Orchards.

We got to try a whole variety of fruit and check out the museum.

We even got to build our own mini orange crates.

Mt. Rubidoux

We went on a Sunday afternoon hike up Mt Rubidoux.

It started off a little rough,

with lots of complaints from the three musketeers,

mom and dad said that we we going to turn around if they 

heard one more complaint,

but sissy and I really wanted to make it to the cross.

So we didn't complain for the 1.5 mile up the hill, they were shocked!

 We don't look like complainers do we???

 Thankful for the cross.

Mt. Baldy

Here is our snow trip for the year.  I think this is the first

time Bear got to really play in the snow. He caught on quick to 

SNOW BALL FIGHTS! 

 Here we are sledding...

 "Do you want to build a snow man?"  Meet our versions of "Olaf".

Birthday Weekend

Mikayla, Lilli and I got to celebrate all weekend.

 All the little minions were at her party.

My 8th Birthday

I had a few friends over for a sleepover for my birthday.

We played games, made up skits and ate lots of sugar!

Fridays

Friday! Yea, it's Friday (our Lola day)...

we get to go have Tita Ema's pancakes with Lola, 

visit with our cutest cousin, Nora

 and have piano lessons with Aunt Tanya

 it's my favorite day of the week!

We like to bring Nora some of our princess things

and make her special crowns and jewelry.

Usually by the end of our visit Nora is finally warming up to Bear...

but Bear not that much!!!

Park Play

We LOVE going to the PARK!

 Lilli likes racing people with her bike

and Bear loves scooting around on his tricycle.

One of Bear's creations, he has a great imagination.

Playing Outside

We spend a lot of time outside.  Bear loves to play in the dirt.

Lilli is usually riding her bike or playing with Bear. 

I still prefer my scooter, unless I am racing my sister on our bikes. 

I am not sure what Bear was doing here, it almost looks

like a funeral for the tipped over semi-truck.

Sorry, Milanie got cut off.  Yes, almost every time we play out front

I beg mom to see if Milanie is home.  Here I am instructing Lilli how

to properly drive the Barbie Jeep.  Looks like fun, right?!

Big Bear 2014

 So happy we got to get away for the weekend with

the Forster's.  Since there wasn't snow we went out for ice cream.
