Bling Bling!

Alma got her ears pierced on March 3rd. She did a really good job while getting them pierced. She screamed because we had to hold her head still and as soon as they were done she was fine. She's a champ and and absolute cutie. Lucia thought it was cool that her sister had pretties like her.

All it took was a minute

While we were getting ready for the day I left the bathroom for a minute to get the phone. By the time I got back Lucia got into my nail polish and had painted her nails and made a mess on the counter. It was so cute I couldn't get mad at her. When I walked in she said "Look mom it's pretty."

Skagit Aids Project

Today I had the opportunity to walk through the World Vision Aids exhibit at Bethany Covenant Church. The exhibit was amazing to see. I recommend you to go see it if you get a chance. We were even able to put kits together for caregivers of aids patients. The exhibit is free and the caregiver kits are only $30.00 each. The exhibit is this weekend only. So please if you get a chance go check it out. Here is the website with more information http://www.skagitaidsproject.org/Skagit_AIDS_Project/A_call_to_action.html

If you can't make the exhibit at least look at the world vision website to get more information about this organization and see what you can do to help. It made me realize how grateful I should be for our health and the life I have. www.worldvision.org

God Bless

Birthday party at school

Here's Lucia blowing out her candles!
Her she is eating her sack lunch at school with her friends.

Showing off her cupcakes. She was so proud of them and had lots of fun decorating them and eating the frosting, as you can tell she has some on her nose.Our baker of the family.

Lucia got to celebrate her 2nd birthday with her friends at school. She was so happy to make cupcakes for them. She even decorated them herself. This day was an exciting day at preschool for her because the kids brought sack lunches to eat for their snack. Lucia was excited to use her Ariel lunch pail.

LUCIA TURNED TWO

Here's Lucia in her mustang she got for her birthday. She loved it but only wanted to drive it if Alma was with her. It already looks like trouble.
Lucia would look at Alma and say "Ready Alma?" Watch out for the Rodriguez girls! I told Lencho this is a glimpse of our future so get ready.

Here she is at her party at Jungle Playland. She was opening gifts but as you can tell she was exhausted so we had to finish opening gifts the next day.

But not to exhausted to eat the frosting off her birthday cupcake.

Here we are singing happy birthday to Lucia.

I can't believe two years have gone by already. Lucia is growing so fast and is an amazing little girl. She keeps us on our toes. Last Saturday we had her birthday at Jungle Playland with our friends and family. She had a blast running around and got some really neat gifts. Thanks again to everyone who came to spend the day with Lucia. It's a blessing to have so many people in her life that love and care for her. She is so blessed and we feel so blessed to have her and Alma with us everyday. I just wish they didn't grow so fast. It's neat to see the different stages they grow through, we are definitely hitting the independent stage with Lucia. She is trying to do everything by herself. She always says "My Turn" or "I do it Mom." We just have to have lots of patience with her. But she is fun to be with and it's fun to watch her grow. We really love to hear her say "I Love you Mommy" and "I love you Daddy" and "I Love you Alma." Today for her birthday we took her to Red Robin for dinner. She loves the happy birthday song. She had a great birthday and tomorrow she is taking cupcakes to her preschool. We frosted and decorated them this evening. Well Happy Birthday Lucia and we love you lots!

Gymnastics!!

Here's Alma watching Lucia at gymnastics. She's getting so big very quickly.
Lucia liked to be in the foam pit. At first it was overwhelming because she had a hard time moving around, but after she got the hang of it she didn't want to get out.

Here she is jumping across the trampoline or should I say galloping across.

Getting ready to walk across the balance beam.

Check out her form. Maybe we will see her at the Olympics.

Lucia went on a field trip[ with her preschool to go do gymnastics. She had so much fun running around. She really loved jumping on the trampoline. She is no where near a gold medalist yet but she will keep having fun trying to be.
