Father's day and Grad Party

Our Father's Day celebration started out with brunch at the Marriott hotel in Long Beach followed by party time in LA with Rolando's side of the family. I brought along my paints for my niece but, ended up painting the whole party LOL! I think next time I'll double check to see who's coming first. Naw, I love what I do so it was all good fun to me.

Last day of school

My little Christian had a great school year with an amazing teacher. Mr. Sakely really was an awesome teacher. He was a substitute for Christian's teacher who was pregnant and went out on maternity leave. This year was a big change from last year with Ms. Woo. yikes! That was not so good.
I'm looking forward to next year and so is Christian.

Kinder graduation

This year has flown bye so quickly. Seems like just yesterday Gracie was on her way to starting Kindergarten. Now she'll be starting school as a first grader in the fall. Oh I don't like this getting older bit!

Here she is the first month of school winning the student of the month award for citizenship.

These are the pics from her graduation ceremony and party. She has grown so much in a year.

I just love this sweet little monkey so much!

Gracies first Birthday

We are such bad parents. When it comes to throwing birthday bashes that is. My poor little princess has never had a big birthday party. I guess that's what happens when you are the third child. Josh had 5 big parties, Christian only had 1 and finally at age 6 Grace has had hers. Here are some picsa from the day in May even though her birthday is in the fall.

 

This was the best day ever is what she said to me after it was all done! I'm so happy she'll actually be able to remember it all.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy Birthday to daddy. He had to work on his special day so we made him a super awesome breakfast instead of taking him to dinner. The kids had so much fun helping!

Free stuff to do with the kids this week

So, this year there was no free summer Wrap at school with all of the budget cuts and all so, I needed to figure out what I was going to do with the kids. I decided I would try to plan a few fun FREE things to do with them. I'd like to plan one fun family attraction day per month as well. If you would like to join us or if you find some cool, free, fun stuff to do let me know. The more the merrier. I will be starting a facebook group for all who are interested. If we're not friends on facebook feel free to add me at Shawna Hernandez

Here are some ideas for our big family fun attraction days Some are free and some are low cost. To keep our costs even lower we can carpool and pack lunches for these events:

LA Zoo
Museum of Science and Industry
The LaBrea Tar Pits & Natural History Museum
Splash Water Park

If you know of any super fun attractions for the kids please let me know.
