"Shakey Shakey"

Daniel has a small graduation at the end of his school year for preschool. It is designed to honor those who will be moving on to kindergarden the next year. This is daniel's second participation in graduation and has one more to come. Anyways the teacher has them do the same dance and the only thing is they have never been able to get the CD to work. They have treid to perform this dance on several occations and have failed because of the CD. This was the first time that they chose to get another copy. At the end of the dance is the distributions of their diplomas which is number 2 of 3 for daniel.

BEAUTY WITHIN

How can something so ugly produce such beautiful flowers...I don't know. I hate catus plants. I don't know why but I do. They usually do not have any pretty colors and honestly I have never seen any produce any flowers. Daniel called me outside to see the flowers that out catus plant grew and I was amazed. Unfortualtely they only last about a day or two. Therefore we had to capture the moment and took some photos. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!

When all Hope is Lost...

Well I would like to be the first to congratulate Daniel. A for effort. Daniel and I had discussed several months ago that we needed to have at least two nights/days a month where we would hang out, talk, or whatever. We just needed to have our date nights. We tried it for a couple of months and it was going great. Of course, we got lazy and it slowly trinkled down to us not doing anything for weeks at a time. We also had agreed that we would switch off on who had to find babysitting and planning our date. So it seemed that the last couple of dates that we actually had were planned by me. In frustration, I told Daniel that he was failing and the he needed to do something because I was done. Despite my request and several reminders, it seemed that it was unimportant to him. Finally about two weeks ago he said that after a church activity we would be going to the movies. I even got excited when he had babysitting arranged all by himself. Needless to say that it was a disaster. After the church event I asked how long i had to get ready and he said as long as you want. I then asked what time the movie started and he responded with I don’t know. Feeling a little frustrated I asked well which movie are we going to see and he responded with the same answer. I was confused. Were we not going to a movie then? He apparently had called and did not recognize any of the movies and decided to just check and see what was on when we got there. That's when I felt that our date was over. We are not going anywhere. This would have been fine if we did not have any children, but seeing that we were going to pick them up after the movie I did not want to pick up late. So we stayed home and went nowhere. Days later before we went to bed Daniel said not to make any plans for 230 the next day because I was going to be his. I said ok, lets see what he has planned this time. He not only took me to a movie that I wanted to see, he purchased the tickets ahead of time. Then we stopped off to pick up food at Macaroni Grill. And he took me to this place where he took me once when we were dating. (This picnic place overlooks CalPoly, and yes it's the same place where the sprinklers came on and hit me directly in the face, ya that one!) Anyways we had a picnic there, and how he remembered my favorite dish from Macaroni Grill, I don't know. We had a great time, he even gave me a duplicate ring of the one he had made for me when we were dating. It was so romantic....Overall I think he redeemed himself.

~~The Zoo~~

So We went to the San Diego Zoo this weekend and we had a blast. Roxie, my niece, joined us along with my parents. The last time we took Baby Daniel to the zoo he was about Tyler's age now. I don't think he enjoyed it as much as he did this time. I just scrapbooked that page not to long ago (I know I'm so behind on my scrapbooking) and there was a picture of him touching a lizard and he had the most discussed look on his face ;) Anways, Tyler had so much fun too. I think he did the most walking out of all the kids. He was up in the animals faces. There were some birds walking around and he would walk right up to them and try to touch. If he were awake when we got to the petting zoo, he would have climbed right on top of those poor animals. If you ask baby Daniel what was his favorite thing he will tell you that he liked the exhibit on bugs and spiders the most. His favorite bug was the leaf bug. It was really cool and when it walked it moved so that it looked like the wind was blowing a leaf. Roxie said that her favorite thing was the hippos. She did not stop asking about them untill we went to go see them. Untill next time...
