First time Disneyland

First time on Dumbo ride
After that is when you danced with your mommy, it was to dark for pics but I'll always remember it!

Que rico!

So exciting and I got to be a part of it and watch you experience Disneyland for the first time. We went in April, one month before you all moved to North Carolina and me and Titi moved to Nicaragua. You had so much fun Isabella! You really liked the merry go round and watching Tinkerbell fly through the sky. My favorite memory was watching you and your mom dance to music before the fireworks show. Your mommy bought you a little red Minnie purse and I bought you a huge sucker!

We also went to California Adventure with Titi about a week later. I really enjoyed that time. Your Uncle Daniel bought you a bracelet if he could he would buy you about 10! Uncle Daniel really enjoyed the time with you and Titi too.

YOU MADE IT!

Memories from my first trips to North Carolina in May 2010. Bibi and Lily, your mom and dad were moving to North Carolina the first week of May. I went with you two and your mommy on your move to your new home. I was so happy to be with all of you in this new adventure. I got to see where you were going to live and places you would be visiting. I stayed for about 2 weeks and we had so much fun!

A couple of weeks later I went back to stay with you two so your mommy can go to a wedding in Washington. My plane flew in late so Isabella you were asleep when I got in. I'll never forget when you woke up in the morning and saw me in your bed, you smiled and said "You made it grandma"! Awww, so cute and clever! I love you so much my Bibi. What was so incredible was that you didn't even know I was coming.

Is crying

Your mommy picks out the cutest clothes for you, your monkey jacket

Out to lunch at Nordstrom cafe for mommy's birthday, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Kim picked out that shirt you're wearing!

Lily 3 months in such a cute outfit

One of our walks in Fallbrook, first pic of your mom with her two beauties!

Having fun with Leo jumping on the bed, luckily the bed is on the floor and very low!

Shopping with grandma and mommy, I bought you those pretty necklaces you picked out, great taste my Bibi!

My baby Lily, you are adorable, this was the same day we went shopping, cutest smile!

Isabella when you are crying you say "Is crying"! You are unbelievable my Bibi, you are so happy and charming and intelligent. Tomorrow you will be 27 months and you have learned so much. You help me make a salad by cutting the lettuce and pieces and putting tomatoes (which you love to eat) in, then you put the salad in the bowls. You love to keep busy. Your schedule is morning breakfast with grandma and cartoons (Mickey, Oso or Umizumi and Dora). You play while you watch. Sometimes your mom takes you playtime at school or you go with us to Temecula. Lunch and then a nap. You go down easily now for your mom or dad, but not me. Lately you stay in your bed talking and playing until you fall asleep. When you wake up you spend time with your dada playing or going to the store. Sometimes one of us will take you up the hill to play with the kids. We all have dinner at the table. Maybe a little TV and playing (your starting to play with Lily by giving her the rattle or pushing her in the swing) then a bath. You watch Clifford and then your mom or dad put you to sleep

Lily, you will be 4 months in a few days and you are getting so cute and so much personality. You are very expressive and loud when you talk. I love rocking you to sleep. I love your smile!!

You're OK!!

Isabella, when you are afraid or hesitant you say to yourself "You're OK, you're OK"!! And you start stepping back. So funny!

I just caught you sharing with Lily. You have two shell necklaces you had on. You took one off and put it on Lily who is in her bouncer. Yikes, but so sweet!!

She cooks!

You enjoy your hat and horsie and say "yahoo" and take off your hat!

Grandpa looks forward to you coming to our room at night and holding you and talking to you. He calls you "torta de queque". He lights up and it is beautiful!

Lily at 8 weeks

Isabella you are 25 months old and you still cook! You've always enjoyed making your soups outside with dirt and inside with toys. Now when I cook you cook with me. You have a couple of bowls with water beans and rice and spoons and eventually you take out all the big spoons and tupperware. You love for me to hold you so you can watch me cook dinner:)

You are talking more and more, it's so cute how you express yourself! I love it when you say OK so sweetly. We'll be potty training next week. You are so ready letting us know when you have gone to the bathroom in your diapers.

Lily you will be 12 weeks on Saturday and growing so quickly. You are wearing Isabella's 6 month clothes. You are beautiful! You love to be held and adore looking at your mother. Mom is going to try and have you sleep in the bassinett or crib because you only sleep when you're in bed with her and poor mama doesn't sleep well.

Sure Grandma

Our walk to the neighbors to see the snowman!

Mom needs to get out and spend time with her kids!

Aww, you look like a Suze Zoo character

You look adorable Isabella!

We had a few cold days in January. Mom bought you girls some warm cozy outfits. Lily you are 6 weeks in this picture and cute as a bug:) My Lilybug is what I call you! Isabella, it's been a long time since you stood still and smiled at the camera. Cute picture! During the holidays we would walk around the block and I showed you the big inflatable snowman (you say "Snowmam") you would love to go visit. Recently we found another snowman that is still out and we go visit, you're so excited!

"Sure Grandma" so cheerfully is what you say alot now. Too cute and pleasant:) Lily, you are talking up a storm and yesterday singing along with me. Cooing and cooing! We love it and watch you over and over!

New Years Eve

You looked so beautiful in your dress your mommy picked out and your favorit pink sparkly shoes, just like a princess!

Titi and I spent New Years Eve with Isabella at Georgina's (friend) house and we had a great time watching you dance and dance and dance with the kids and Titi. You went up and down the stairs. After playing with toys upstairs a while you would say "dance" and go down. Then you would say "toys". You were all smiles even with a cold. Everyone told me how cute and precious you were:)

On New Years day Mommy, me and Isabella and Lily went shopping and had a nice day in Temecula. Me and Isabella spent alot of time in the Disney store looking at so many pretty things. We bought you an Ariel glitter bouncing ball that you really liked. Isabella, it's so cute now you add grandma at the end of everything you tell me. "It's cold grandma", "There she is grandma", I love it. Lily is now sick with a cold but she did good hanging out with us:)
