Weekend fun

We had a good weekend, we went to a park near Auntie Niki's house and played. The boys had fun.
Sunday was filled with church, a hike with Darrian, and a NAP for the kids and me! Then I went to a Sol's house with Kelly and we watched the Oscars. I hardly saw any of the movies, but it is fun to watch and gab about the outfits.

Lent

For the first time in a long time, I am taking part in Lent. I grew up participating and I think I gave up the same thing every year for 7 years or so {Chocolate}, and although I participated on my own I did not go to mass or engage in those activities.i have however really found a community I enjoy and it has brought me back in a bit.

For Lent I am giving up soda. I am hoping that this carries on past Lent, it's no good for me but I get bored drinking water all the time. I am also DOING something for lent. I am going to do several random acts of kindness over the 40 day period.

I started ash Wednesday off with mass and then donated 8 or 9 boxes/bags of baby clothes to the Bay Area Crisis Nursery. Paying in forward a bit. Hopefully I can stick to these two obligations over the next 40 days.

Darrian's 4 year old Preschool picture

We got Darrian's preschool pictures back today, they turned out so cute! I am happy with the results. I posted a side by side of last year and this year too so you can see the changes, my little guy is getting big :)

Weekend Re-cap

We've had a good long weekend, although at the moment the twins are taking turns waking up tonight. I'm hoping both will settle back down and sleep another 4 hours or so. Both are not feeling great, seems like both are congested. :(

The weekend has been relaxing and a good mix of me time and family time. I still have today off which is nice, although given the all of sleep I've had tonight I just want to rest.

Friday my girlfriends and I went to Burmese food in Alameda. The food was good, and the company was even better.

Saturday and Sunday we just stayed around the house and relaxed. I never left the house either day. A rare thing for me, usually if even to just go to the park I get out at least once. By Sunday night I was stir crazy. We did spend a good chunk of time outback, the babies love to discover the outdoors. Monday we met our friends at the airport. Darrian rode his bike, and The babies toddled around and took everything in. I like the airport because it is open, and fenced in. Miles is really starting to notice the planes, so
cute to see his little finger pointed to the sky. Both had on outfits Suehan gave for their birthday. Which got lots of compliments, especially Quincy in his plaid pants :)

Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Happy Three Day weekend!

Four days for me! I'm taking Tuesday off, no big plans just park dates and relaxing. Tonight I am headed out with some ladies (one friend wanted to get together for my Bday and we added on a few more) gonna try Burmese food. :)

Here are pics of the twins from today. Quincy eating a plum, and Miles being the ham he is. Darrian learned L in school today so we are going over EVERY WORD that begins with a L. It's fun to see his mind work.

Gonna put babies to bed so I can head out in a bit, happy weekend everyone!

Trying out new iPhone application

So much of my life is through the iPhone. It really is my lifeline, If I could blog from here I think I could do it more often. This is my trial run.. Today I got my birthday present in the mail. A new iPhone case with my lovelies picture on it AND I got to wave to the President who drove by job today. So far so good.

Time in pictures

(you can click on collage to make it bigger)

More than not these days I only have my iphone nearby to get some pictures. Luckily the iphone takes pretty good pictures and I am able to capture a moment even if I don't have my camera nearby. You can see over the past few months of celebrating birthday's, holidays, and spending time at the airport. I like the airport because it is fenced in :) Darrian usually spends his time riding his bike there, or scooter. The days go by so fast, it is hard documenting it all, but I try.
