Freddy and I took the twins to their first ever Diamondbacks game today! Jenny, DJ and Dominick joined us as well! I was hoping that we would make it through at least half of the game, but the kids did great! We didn't leave until close to the 9
th inning! Us adults didn't get to see much of the game, but we still had a great time! :)
At around the 7
th inning, we took the kids upstairs to the "Sandlot"- an indoor playground at the ball park! Whoever thought of this is a genius! The kids were able to play in the playground for a bit and get some of their energy out. Sadly, Layla had a little accident at her first baseball game. She decided that she wanted to go up the slide the wrong way and another little girl was coming down the slide. The two kids collided and the result was Layla with a very bloody mouth. There was an EMT on site and she was at Layla's side in a matter of seconds. She cleaned her up really well and gave her tons of gauze (which Layla later called her "pillow for her teeth") and made her feel lots better. Of course, anything Layla has Lily has to have too, so she got some gauze for her mouth as well. :)
Here are some pics of our fun day!
I have been waiting for this day for so long! Today was Layla's and Liliana's first day of ballet/tap class! My little ballerinas are so adorable! It was very interesting to watch the girls in this setting today.....Liliana LOVED the class and at times was the only one in the class dancing - she was
soooo cute! Layla was a bit hesitant and I had to stay by her side for a bit. It was interesting to see how much my two little girls love each other. When I was not around, they always seemed to come together and make sure they were okay. It was truly such a sweet thing to watch. If the teacher did not realize that Layla was doing something well, Lily made sure to point it out to the teacher so that Layla wouldn't be overlooked. :) I hope my girls enjoy the class...I look forward to Tuesday's when I can dress them up and put little buns in their hair!! Dominique also signed up Marti!!! Marti is a natural dancer and had such a great time - she had a smile on her face throughout the entire class. It really helped to have Marti there - the three of them walked in together holding hands. I hope Layla and Lily follow Marti's lead and enjoy the class to the fullest! Hopefully we will all be attending a recital sometime soon! :)
Liliana had a little accident.......
Well, I would have never guessed it, but Liliana is the first out of the three cousins to have a cast put on. I thought for sure it would have been Dominick!!! LOL! She had a little accident after the big Cardinals game on Sunday. Freddy took her to urgent care and they thought her wrist had been fractured. They put a splint on her and a little sling . . .she kept calling it her "purse for her arm." :) I had to follow up with the pediatric orthapedic doctor. We were really hoping that we were overreacting, but no such luck. Lily has a fractured elbow and has to have a cast on for a few weeks. The doctors were so impressed by how well behaved Lily was during the entire visit. Lily didn't make a peep and was so extremely cooperative. Now, if it had been Layla, we would have probably have needed to sedate her to put a cast on! Lily is still as active as ever and is adjusting very well to her new little cast. Layla is taking very good care of her sister and kisses her little cast throughout the day. Layla has been sleeping with Lily lately......so cute. :)
MLK Day
Dominique, Moone, Nikki and I got together to celebrate our day off! We had a fun play date with the kids. They were all so good and had a great time together. It was fun watching all the kids interact with one another........there were 9 kids and only four mommies! LOL!! So cute . . . check out the pics!
FIRST ANNUAL JAYHAASE PARTY!
Jaysen and I had our first annual Holiday Party!! I think it was a huge success!! We were able to gain new friendships as well as celebrate with some of our very best friends. Check out the pics below!!!!
THE HAASE'S CHRISTMAS, 2009
Well, Christmas has come and gone . . .but what a fun time it was!!! Analisa got almost everything she asked for . . .webkinz, Imagine DS games, Sing it for the Wii. Funny thing is she seems to be having most fun with her new sketch pad and colored pencils! :) The twins still didn't quite understand what was going on, but it was so much fun watching them open their gifts. Their favorite gifts were their new baby dolls, a karaoke machine and musical instruments!!! We spent Christmas Eve at Paula's house and were able to enjoy Christmas morning with Paula, Jenny, DJ and Dominick. Dominick got so many cool cars! It was tons of fun hanging out with all the kids Christmas morning. Freddy and I had such a great Christmas with our family this year and look forward to many more memories.
Happy New Year!
Happy 2009!!! Our family is very excited for this new year. We hope to do a little more traveling with the kids, celebrate a few birthday's (Analisa will turn 11 in May and the twins will be 3 in June!!), Freddy and I will celebrate our 4th anniversary in November (hopefully in San Francisco again!!) continue working hard and enjoy our family and friends to the fullest. We will also welcome a new nephew in late April/early May! One more cousin that the girls get to play with!! We STILL need to potty train the twins and hopefully they will begin preschool in August. I know this year will be very, very, busy but it will also be a year full of adventures and good times. We celebrated the New Year with Johnny and Del and the kids . . .what a great time we had!!! Of course I "fell asleep" before midnight, but I was woken up in time to ring in the new year. Here are a few pics from our New Year celebration!! We hope to celebrate again next year with the Carnelia's!!
FAMILY PICTURES
We FINALLY took some family pictures!! Analisa was not thrilled, but cooperated. Layla screamed "no smile" the entire time!! Liliana was as happy as could be and had a great time! It was fun and we were very happy with the pictures!!! There are a few random pics of the girls that you will see also . . .Enjoy!
SAN FRANCISCO
We celebrated our 3rd Anniversary this month! We went to San Francisco - one of our very favorite places!!! We have a favorite Irish Pub that we LOVE to go to . . .it is also a piano bar - we love it! They didn't play Bon Jovi for me, but it was still a BLAST! Everything was great about our trip. Freddy and I got to spend lots of time together which we really needed. And yes, Freddy turned off his phone the whole trip!!!! :)
Halloween, 2008
Here are a few pics from Halloween, 2008! The twins were Minnie Mouse . . .sooo cute! Freddy and I went to Hector's annual Halloween party . . .hopefully the tradition will continue next year! I was 80's Madonna and Freddy was supposed to be Weird Al Yankovich. Don't know if he pulled it off . . . who do you think he looks like?! At the end of the night, he was Howard Stern! Good times!
