Hike

We went on a little hike this evening.  The kids really enjoyed it, specially Mateo.  There is a place by our house that have tons of trails to go on so every time we go, we go on a new one.  It's been fun.

Isabel's the Helper

Isabel is such a great helper.  She will keep asking what she can help with and will help until it is finished or you say she can be done.  I really like her work ethic.  She loves helping me around the house but I think her favorite is helping Papi with his projects outside.

Silly Lili

I told Lili to make some faces for me and this is what I got.  She is the silliest little thing ever.  I love this silly Lili so much too!

Mateo's Lip

Poor Mateo has hurt his bottom lip everyday for the past 4 days, poor thing.  The first one happened when we had an elders quorum presidency BBQ at our house.  Mateo bonked heads with Lili on the tramp.  He took a huge chunk out of the inside of his lip.  The next day I was sewing the blanket for AnaLaura's new baby and Mateo stepped up on by sewing box, fell, and hit his chin on the table, and bit his lip in a different spot.  The same thing the next couple of days too.  Poor little thing but he's still happy.  I just love this first photo.

Running to the Park

Every morning we go out on a walk/run/biking.  This day the big girls ran with me and I had the little two in the jogging stroller.  We stopped at this park up the street from our house.  We took the sand toys and played for some time.  They all had so much fun.

Cousin Fun

Isabel & Carter have a photo like this when they were babies and they thought it would be fun to try it again.  They got stuck!  But they had a lot of fun doing it.  When I was getting Isabel out, it felt like I was going to break her because they were so stuck.  Hahahaha

Ruby Roo & Liliah

Isabel's best friend is Ruby.  She is such a sweet little girl.  They want to be together all the time and are super silly together.  Unfortunately, Ruby and her family moved to Florida last week.  Her dad has been working over there since January and now they get to go be with him. 
So the last few months they have been inseparable.  One of the last days of school they had 'twin day' so Kelly (Ruby's mom) made them matching skirts and I made matching hair bows.  They looked pretty cute. 
Before they left, Isabel gave her a photo frame with pictures of them in it.  Lili did it for Lilah (Ruby's little sister and Lili's best friend too) also. They are such a great family and we will miss them a lot.
Their last day at church, Isabel wrote Ruby a letter, which totally made me cry a long time.  This is what she wrote....
"6/9/13  All about me and Ruby.  Me and Ruby are B.F.F.'s.  I always want to play with her and we were in the same preschool and we loved it so much and that is how we met and that is how we became B.F.F.'s.  I love her and I just feel like she is my sister.  Then my life would be so much easier for me and she would sleep with me every night.  I would love it.  She is in my kindergarten class but bad she's moving to Florida.  I'll really miss her but good thing I have a picture of her and she has a picture of me too.  I'll miss her so so much.  We all will but that is okay, she is so sweet.  I love you Ruby."
