Isabel is going to Jose Ortega for 5th grade

I just registered her today and wow. The school is so nice. I had no idea how much better it looks than Starr king. Isabel will Love it. It will be a trek for us but it will be worth it for her.

Camping this weekend in Samuel Taylor park

Just 75 min from our house, we are here camping since yesterday with Starr king 4th kinder and 3rd grade families. Awesome tall red trees. Kids are having a blast. We are learning about starting fires and using coal stoves and exchanges supplies with neighbors.

Alexis is a full grown monkey

She showed me this on Friday. I was so surprised she can go all the way now. Big girl :-)

Happy Mother’s Day!

Alexis told me yesterday. " my favorite holiday is tomorrow - happy Mother's Day! I have 3 cards for you and left a fourth one at jackson (her after school program)". How sweet! This is that first one. ;-)

Happy 10th bday to isabel

Can't believe I have a 10 year old. Had to pause there to really think about this. Time has flown. I still remember the first time I held her in my arms - 7lbs and a face of an angel.

Luckily she is still an angel - loving, kind, creative, curious, energetic, passionate. I love it that she still wants to hang with mommy and sleep with mommy. Hopefully I have a few more years of it.

We hosted a sleepover for her three besties on Saturday and then had flan and presents today - her actual bday.
