HOW CUTE AM I???
Mr. Evan Eduardo just celebrated his "4 month" birthday! He's such an awesome little guy - very happy, easy going, and just loves to stand up! I'm back at work, and he seems to be doing a little bit better with his bottle.
Here's Evan with his Big Bird picture! July 24, 2009
"Look at me! I rolled over all by myself today!!" July 28, 2009
".. and I am SOOO HAPPY about it!"

More Cody Adventures
What a great dog! Cody spent his first day at Lola's house with all the cousins and the chaos. And, he was awesome! Even with all the crying babies, the running children, and the huge yard, Cody was just as sweet as can be. I think he really likes being with us!
Here are some cute photos from yesterday:
Joli with her new doggie! Cody is the perfect size for a little gal!
Part of our "52 Weeks" project -- Week 11. Yes, even Cody made it in there!

Evan rolls .. and a new addition!
On Monday, July 19th, Evan rolled over! Hurray for Evan! He is just learning, so he tends to get stuck on his arm before making it all the way over. He spends much more time on the floor playing with his toys and is even enjoying his "tummy time!"
Evan went for his 4 months visit yesterday and now weighs 13 lbs and is 25 inches long. He's still a peanut! He's been smiling and laughing out loud, too, which is just the most adorable face ever! I'm back at work already, and Evan is having a tough time taking his bottle, but I'm sure he'll get the hang of it soon.
Jada and Joli LOVE going to Camp during the day. They are learning sports, arts and crafts, and fun songs with their friends. This is Jada's first time in a program outside of the house, and she is thrilled!
Our newest addition to the family is "CODY VEGA!" Cody is a Feist dog that we rescued from a shelter locally. He's originally from Tennessee, weighs about 18 lbs, and is a tiny dog. After having Gordon, it's hard getting used to how small Cody is!
Cody was originally named "Bandit" because he has this beautiful black mask across his face. While the name fit him, we wanted to change his name. What were some of the other names floating around: Zack, Sandwich (which Jada and Jorge loved!), Oso (because he has the same mask that Oso, the cartoon bear, has), Kaeru, Abner... but, in the end "Cody" won!
Honestly, he's the most perfect little gentleman. I'm not sure what kind of training he had before coming to us, but he seems very smart and very happy to be with us! The girls, of course, are thrilled, and we're excited that they'll grow up with a dog. Rest in Peace, Gordon! We're happy we could rescue another little guy!
The kids with some quality "morning bed" time. Joli got a Nintendo DS for her birthday and lots of new games!
Cody! Our new dog! See how tiny he is!

Birthday Day 2
Joli and Mia had their birthday party today! First off, they started out with a sleepover at our house that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. At around 11:30pm, I just gave up and went to sleep -- I actually have no idea when the girls went to bed!
Their party was at Kidz Planet, and they had a great time! Lots of running around, bouncing up and down, pizza, cake and ice cream! It was a very small, and quick, party, and the kids had a great time!
Then, we went back to Lola and Lolo's house for some swimming and a huge clam bake! Lobster, corn, clams and mussels, steaks .. the works! Our cousins from both CA and NJ came by for a visit, and that was a wonderful treat!
Happy Birthday, Joli and Happy Birthday, Mia! :)

Six Years Old!
Miss Joli Irene is six years old today! We snuggled in bed last night and went over the story of when she was born, and Joli loved it. It's now 9:00pm on 7/17 which means Joli was just over 42 minutes old (6 years ago, of course!).
Here is our Week 10 picture. Yes, if you've been keeping track, I unfortunately missed 2 weeks in there. It's not the best picture of the girls, but the smile on Evan's face was worth it! :)
Week 10
The Big Girl with her "Little Tigger!" At 3 weeks old, this Tigger was actually bigger than Joli! Look how big she is NOW!
My beautiful Joli
Happy Birthday, Big JoJo! I took some video of her saying what her favorite things about being FIVE were, and here are some highlights:

The Fair Fun!
We had a fantastic time at the Fair - a little more expensive than when we used to go (I take that back, my parents were always afraid of taking us there!), but it was worth it. Yummm.. fried dough...
The kids and JP on the carousel
Joli rode most of the rides by herself because Gavin and Jada were too small! She had a blast on this flying ride!
This ride was surprisingly pretty fast and scary!
See... check out Jada and Gavin whipping around the corner!
This was the first nice day that the Fair could go on, and we loved it!

Great First Week in July!
Happy 4th of July, everyone! After nearly 21 days of rain, we finally had the most perfect summer day here in New England. Wonderful breeze, 75 degrees, sunny! The family gathered at Lolo and Lola's house, including Andy and Marie's family!
The kids playing in the pool at Lola and Lolo's house. The pool was just starting to fill up, but we let the kids jump in anyways (yes, some of them were fully clothed).
Gavin, squirting Jada with the water hose!
Even Baby Nina (who isn't quite a baby anymore!) got in on the action!
Mia and Gavin trying to get warm after the cold swimming pool!
Post-pool corn time!
The baby boys were pretty mad that THEY didn't get to go in the pool with the big kids!
"Don't worry, Evan!" says Kainoa. "We'll make up for it next year by peeing in the pool...."
Joli with her new found love of swimming goggles.
Oh, Jada.
Tita Mari with Evan
Uncle Lons with Evan
Some of the men -- Jorge said to JP, "Get your hands off of my meat...." We'll just leave it at that.
Last week, we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese just to get out of the house. Naturally, we went during a torrential down pour! But, once inside, the kids had a great time!
Happy July!
In other news, Joli had a wonderful week off of school and did lots of fun things with me and the cousins! Jada starts Camp next week with Joli and will go 3 days a week. Evan will spend his last week with me before I return to work (booo hoooo). He's laughing out loud now, grabbing at his toys in his bouncy seat, and is really interacting with people. He is a very happy baby who is quite content just sitting up and watching the world go by! Evan has been getting used to taking the bottle (which, has to be warmed just right for him!) and has been spending much more time awake. He has been chewing on his hand, which leads us to believe he might be teething soon, especially given all the drool coming from his mouth!
Off to bed! It's almost midnight, and Joli and I just got home from watching the fireworks display in our town. It was Joli's first time seeing fireworks on the 4th of July -- she is usually fast asleep! She loved it, and it was a nice treat to spend an hour or so with Joli!
Happy July!
