Dahlia Growing up

Wow! It's been a really long time since I've logged on to create a post. Work has completely taken over my life and since starting this job about six months ago my poor little blog was put on hold.

Although life at work is still hectic I wanted to log in and update the blog just a bit since Dahlia is now 22 months!! I can't believe how times flies. She is so big and her hair, don't even get me started, it has taken a life of it's own. Dahlia can now say a few words like "stop that",  "it's mine", " I don't know", and of course simple words like mom, mine, milk, food and stuff like that. She is so smart and the only thing that is bothering us right is that she refuses to call her dad "dad" she calls him by his first name which is longer and harder than saying dad. It's funny but at the same time frustrating, specially to her dad.

So here are some photos of the past few months, didn't want to photobomb so I picked photos I've taken with my phone:

First football game for the boys....she is was in team spirit colors

Dahlia was a flower girl to her cousin's wedding

Having fun at chuck'e cheese 

Boys were killers for Halloween

So Dahlia was the bride of Chuckie....did not leave the make up on

However any other day she pretends to wear lipstick

For the most part she is a trouble maker like in this photo....

But can be so cute, Santa still gave her gifts :)

Here she is being potty trained but is singing "No, no no"....She is really stubborn

Lastly the most recent photo of all three kids, dressed in 49ers gear ready to celebrate Daren's bday

Freeport & More Fun

During our trip we also visited Lucaya Beach located in Freeport, Bahamas. While soaking in the sunny (partly cloudy) beach we decided to take a little boat tour....it was so bumpy because of the waves that at some point I thought we were going to fall off, specially because the people on the banana boat behind us kept falling off. My oldest kid wanted to ride it but after seeing how dangerous it was I refused so he had to ride the boat with the rest of us.

This ship in the background is an original ship used in the first Pirate of the Caribbean Movie!

Holding on to Dahlia who was asleep for pretty much the entire tour

The rest of these photos were taken on the cruise ship. As you can see the kids had an awesome time sliding and soaking up, including Dahlia!

She loved the kiddie slide so much we couldn't get her to leave!!

Atlantis Adventure Photo Diary

In our recent trip to the Bahamas we visited Atlantis, a resort with a water park and a amazing aquarium which is home to so many sea creatures! It also has a small recreation of the "lost city of Atlantis" call the Dig....These are some of our photos from that day. I tried not to photo bomb the blog so I was selective of the photos, hope you guys enjoy them :)

This is the Atlantis Beach, so beautiful with clear water. The sky looks cloudy but it was so so HOT! 

Dahlia loved the beach with it's soft sand :)

Happy Father's Day!

This post is dedicated to one of the best daddy's I know, the man in my life that has been there thick and thin and is an amazing dad to my kids....He may have a lot of tattoos, be a little tempered at times and not perfect but he is the glue to our little family and the super hero to my kid's world. There is no one else I would rather be sharing this great responsibility of parenthood with than him! 

Happy Father's Day Love!

Also happy father's day to all the other dads out there and the mommy's that are dads too! 

If you haven't checked out this post on dad's I highly recommend it the "50 rules for Dads of Daughters"
