Its a good thing they're cute!!

I am telling you it is a very good thing for my children that they are cute, being sick isnt bad enough but Isabella has decided she doesnt want her picture taken anymore so I have to catch her when she isnt really looking. Gabrielle has decided she doesnt want anything in her hair, no bows, barretts, ponies, NOTHING she pulls them out herself or screams at me and tries to rip her hair out of the barretts until I take them out. I hope that is just a phase she has such a cute little face and I cut bangs and still her hair covers her. Isabella seeing Gabrielle pull hers out has decided she leaves hers in for 3 minutes and then takes hers out, Thankfully her hair is starting to return to its craziness, it fits her personality perfectly. Dont get any ideas grandma because I know you are reading this, LEAVE MY HAIR ALONE, that goes for my sister too.

Entertaining sick babies

Since both of the girls are sick I was trying to entertain them between bouts of crying, I had bought them each a pair of sunglasses and they were cracking themselves up wearing them

Grouchy girls

Well both the girls have head colds and I am getting one as well. Both of them have been very cranky but still cute none the less

Bedtime in our new pjs

The girls are usually so sweet to each other, tonite Isabella was lying on the floor and wouldnt let Gabrielle kiss her so Gabrielle just climbed on top of her and kissed her anyway, it was so cute

Notice anything

Well over the weekend my wonderful parents took the girls to give me a much needed rest. The girls had fun with grandma and papa and apparently were well behaved until the second I walked into the house. Then Isabella turned into a screaming maniac. I am sure you have noticecd that Isabella's hair looks a little less psychotic, Why you ask? I'll tell you why, my mother cut her hair. Good job Grandma now I look like a Latin Shirley Temple. Gabrielle my little princess peanut has decided that she is a self-mutilator, she scratched a big chunk out of her nose, won't that look nice for Easter pictures.

The start of a new Guatemalan soccer team

Anyone want to play? what do you think everyone a baby Guatemalan soccer team? We are looking for additional team players. Must have Latin attitude and Whining is allowed (my girls seem to have that down to a science. I tell them I dont speak whine but they still do it)

Other pictures from the weekend

At home getting ready for bed, thanks for the new pj's grandma and papa

Gabrielle on the lanai and up to no good, she stuck her hands in papa's herbs and dumped fists full of soil onto the floor, papa was not happy

My little artist- "grandma I want to ca-ya"
that is how Miss Isabella says color, very cute

The Weekend at Grandma and Papa's

My parents live about a 4 hour drive from us, they live in Naples, FL, so the girls and I went for a visit this weekend. No pictures of papa this time but the girls loved being in the pool with grandma

Isabella is my little water girl, with her little float on she swims all around by herself, not bad for 2 1/2 I would say

Gabrielle's first Bike Week-Daytona Beach

Every year we go to bike week in Daytona Beach and this was Gabrielle's first. Isabella always falls asleep even with all the loud motorcycles. Gabrielle is usually much more sensitive to noise but she fell asleep too. I was going to put some motorcycle pictures on here but we all know all anyone wants to see is the girls. Oh yah, on the close up picture of Isabella ignore the runny nose and check out those eyelashes. She'll never need mascara.

OUR GUATEMALAN FAMILY

Well we had a wonderful day with our Guatemalan family, the kids were so funny together, so many we couldnt get them all looking at the camera at the same itme. Hopefully this will be a monthly get together, enjoy the pictures. I know it is late and I didnt plan to post pictures tonite but since my girls decided they were going to sleep the entire 2 hour car ride home, they have decided they arent tired anymore so I figured I would post now since I likely have a long night ahead of me and may not feel like posting tomorrow. Ladies from today if you have pictures of the group shot of us can you please email it to me, since Isabella was being difficult I didnt get one with my camera. Corey, Farrah and Alleen, please email me the pictures, thanks guys!! Lets do it again soon!!!!!
