The Color Purple

Sadly my least favorite color is purple. Not quite sure why... Maybe because I think it looks awful on me and I have developed this deep dislike for it. So I rarely buy the girls anything in purple. So silly, I know. Anyway, guess what Hannah's ABSOLUTE favorite color is.....





 This last pic is her most favorite article of clothing. She asks me to wear it everyday, and sleeps in it on occasion too.

God made Hannah passionate, bold, and determined. I LOVE that about her! She is a girl who knows what she wants, and will not stop until she gets it! I really admire that. I love my strong willed little girl. Even if I have to buy her purple dresses. :)

Swim Lessons

Today Gracie started her first swim lesson.  Starting a little later than I had planned, but better late than never. She is taking swim with her best little buddy, Lea. Having her friend there made her SO much more relaxed, comfortable, and confidant. They both did so well for their first time. SUCCESS!!

4.5 years

Gracie turned 4.5 on April 3rd, and is just growing way too fast. I cannot believe I will have a 5 year old in just 6 months. Sometimes I just feel time is one step ahead of me and I am trying to hold on for dear life. I feel like the days just fly by. I feel like my little Gracie was just a baby in my arms. Now she is 40 lbs and 42 inches tall. UGH!! I cant let myself dwell on the fact that she is growing up, or I will just cry, so I try and focus on what a beautiful little girl she is becoming.
So Gracie is still in school twice a week, but now in preK, 830-12. She is learning so much. She loves her teachers, Mrs. Casillas and Mrs. Navarro. She loves playing with her friends too, Lea, Isabel, and Hudson.
Even though she loves going to school, she has made it very clear to me that she only likes going 2 days a week, and likes being at home the rest of the week.
She loves playing outside, riding her bike or her scooter. Loves playing sports with us. We are trying to teach her baseball, basketball and soccer. Dan loves teaching her.
She takes gymnastics every Saturday morning, and LOVES it!!
She is also still very girly, loves pink, loves to wear dresses and asks me everyday to put her hair in braids. She has figured out how to work the computer quite well. She goes on the disney princess website and can play on there for hours!
She has become very independent. She can get dressed, brush her teeth, use the restroom, get a snack, all on her own, which is a big help to me. One thing I do miss is the napping. Gracie has completely stopped taking naps in the afternoon. Occasionally she will surprise me and fall asleep while laying down, but usually just lays there with her eyes open, waiting for me to tell her its ok to get up. So while Hannah naps, she plays in her room quietly, or lays down next to Hannah for a little rest.
She is such a good little girl and has such a good heart. She is always concerned when I hurt myself. She is always asking how her family members are. She always asks me how work was when I get home in the morning. "Mommy how was work? How were the Mommy's and the babies." So cute!!
She is growing up to be a beautiful girl inside and out. We are so fortunate to call her our baby girl. We do not deserve her. We thank God for her everyday!

Stir fry kick

Have had this Food network magazine for over a year and finally decided to make these yummy looking stir fry's.  Now, I've tried those stir fry's in a bag, and those are just nasty! After making these recipes, I will never EVER buy those bags again!
I first made the shrimp with clear sauce, and last night I made Beef and Broccoli. I was a bit nervous about the beef and broccoli because the girls and Dan LOVE to order this dish when we go out.  And let me tell you, it tastes much better than even Panda Express! Yummy!
The girls and Dan loved this recipe. As usual Gracie ate all her beef first, and Hannah ate her broccoli first.
