Vancouver Canada

So we had to go to Canada. Why? I honestly don't know so we can say,"We went to Canada!" We did see a Raccoon, and I wished I had taken a picture of it because I thought it was so cute. Mary (cousin) was freaking out about it. I thought it was so funny.

The weather was so nice here. The locals kept saying, "It's so hot." at 75 degrees? Try Arizona.

The famouse Troll under the bridge!

The stories are true! You can find this troll under the north end of the Aurora bridge in Seattle WA. This was sculpted by four local artists in 1990. The book Weird Washington has something to say about this guy too. The kids found chalk that was left there for people to leave their message behind. I told the boys to be careful because if you leave your name there the troll will know and find you at night when he awakens.

conveyor belt sushi

This is was the first time we experienced conveyor belt sushi. Mary and Brian (cousin's) thought it would be a cool experience for the boys and I.

What is Conveyor belt sushi? Its like fast food sushi, in smaller portions and it goes through the restaurant on a rotating belt.





The look on our faces were priceless... We loved it here! There were more selections than just sushi which was great for the boys since they are not so into sushi.

The boys really enjoyed how interactive it was. You pay depending on the plate color which can range from $1.00 a plate to $6.50 a plate. then in the end you stack all your plates and you get a total.

If there were something on the menu such as ice cream, then you can just order it from when of the waiters standing by.

I knew this couldn't only be in Seattle area, so I searched high in low in the Phx area to find a restaurant like this. Chris and I found one in Tempe, Its called Teharu sushi. We went there and spent only $23 bucks for Chris and I that's including a beer! . Of course it wasn't as cool as Washington but it did the fix on my craving.

Twilight Fans

So my wonderful cousin Mary lives in Seattle WA. and I thought since The boys and I were going to visit why not a trip to Forks WA.? www.forkswa.com/twilight

My 16year old niece Bianca went with us since I couldn't bring Chris Garcia.

This was the Theater where Bella went to see the movie with the boys in Port Angeles WA.

The twilight store was the biggest store I ever saw with things twilight. Inside there is a huge tree and its so magical. Any thing you can think twilight this store has it. www.dazzledbytwilight.com

This restaurant is where Bella and Edward have dinner in Port Angeles. You can check them out here. www.bellaitaliapa.com We didn't go eat there but it was pretty crowded.

Its was so beautiful here in this upper part of Washington. This Twilight phenomenon was a wonderful thing to happen to the Forks, considering it small little logging town.

We took the ferry to Port Angeles. The Kids loved it.
I always think of the movie, "The Ring." everytime we take the ferry somewhere in WA.

Max make Student of the month

When day I said to the boys if any of them made student of the month it would be an instant $20. Well leave it up to Max to make it there... The sad thing was that I was surprised because student of the month is hard to get, considering you have to be selfless and etc. etc. Well for those of you, who are not familiar with our wonderful Max.... Max loves Max first. lol. plus he is so full of crazy energy that he can barely sit and eat a full meal. Don't get me wrong, He is a very good kid, and a total delight and I love our Max, but for him to be not so crazy for a day let alone a whole month... That was simply amazing...

The school did such an awesome job with how they acknowledge the students. I had tears in my eyes like probably every other mom there for their child. Gosh I can't imagine what I will be like at his first dance, prom, etc. etc.

Chris even took time for our little Pollo.. Congrats. Little Max! We love you.

Easter Time

It's amazing how quickly you can get behind with everything including a blog. So, I know Easter was so last month or two.... But hey better late than never.

The Easter bunny brought Diego an Alice n Wonderland poster with Diego's goodies. Max got a Bruce Lee poster too.

Every year we go to Auntie Sherri's house for the egg hunt. All the kids have their own color to hunt for. Max is green and Diego is Blue. This year someone decided to get funny and hide an egg in the tree.
I love to see the boys work together towards a goal. This is when my heart melts and I know they will always have each other's back no matter what.

HAPPY 8Th Birthday Max!

Max decided he wanted another Sponge bob Birthday. This time I pulled a Sandra Lee and bought a cake from Costco and added the finishing Sponge bob touches. We had his birthday at the park, with the usual BBQ for the kids and whom ever showed up.
No Mexican birthday party in the park would be the same without a piñata.

I Don't know why but this image with Max, money and friends disturbes me just a little....lol..

I got this flash forward 18 years from now.......(ah...No!) :(

So not looking forward to this little guy and his party days....

Toni be afraid be very afraid.....
