A Funny Jae Story

This morning Jae and JC were playing with some bracelets. They were playing nicely when Jae asked JC to watch her. It was quiet for a minute and then she got really frustrated...

Jae: Uggg...God didn't do what I said!

Mommy: What's wrong Jae?

Jae: I asked God to make these bracelets disappear and then come back again and he didn't listen.

Daddy: Jae that's not how it works...

She cracks me up :)

slurpees, hot dogs, smores and potty training

today was my first day of summer...wahoo! i love being a teacher. the weather has been cold and overcast, but the sun finally came out this afternoon.

tonight we went to my mom's house for a little backyard dinner. lance brought slurpees for the kids and everyone cooked their own hot dog. the kids had fun playing in the backyard and looking at and eating the veggies from mimaw's garden. after dinner we made smores, which is jae's favorite part. jc gets excited about the chocawet (chocolate) and usually makes a huge mess :)

we are potty training jc so we have been home all day. it was nice to get out of the house and spend time with family.

we love sunny days...

feeding the giraffes

tonight we went to the zoo with my mom. i love nighttime zoo! there weren't very many people there and we were able to see a ton of animals. my kids also got to feed the giraffes with mimaw :)

Padres Game

We had been talking about taking the kids to a game forever and we finally found a night that worked. We planned on buying Park in the Park tickets, but they weren't available when we go there. So we bought some nose bleed seats and sat in them for a half of an inning and ended up going to the Park. The kids had an awesome time. They were giving gloves to all the little munchkins so Jae and JC ended up playing catch for most of the evening.

Santee Lakes and a Surprise Party

You know how I said I wanted to find a place from that Out & About book to go to every weekend? Well last weekend was way busy so we kinda did 2 things in 1. My Aunt Mary turned 65 last week and we had a surprise party for her. It happened to be at Santee Lakes, which was one of the places in the book. Mary was surprised and the kids had fun playing outside in the sunny weather.

Yay for Erica!

last saturday erica graduated from csusm. my mom was supposed to watch the kids but ended up getting vertigo. so we took them with us and they were troopers. they were really good. after the ceremony we went back to the coelho's for a pool party. my kids are fish! jae swam from 1:30 until about 7:30. she was spent by the end of the night. for some reason jc thinks he can walk on water and when he tries he is surprised that it doesn't work. i only went in after him once...fully clothed. thankfully johnny and mike got in with him and helped him navigate around the pool. it's kinda scary because he has no fear.
