Pirate Party!!

Hailey's school had a super fun party yesterday

The teachers put tattoos on the kids.

Rob attack!!

There was a treasure hunt too

I finally grabbed all the pictures that Andrea took in the past year and a half so here are a few of my favorites.

Hailey telling Brady a secret ~ Hailey and Brady made wedding arrangements before he left Costa Rica ~ good news for our family because they are getting married in Arizona!

Changes!!

I finally read the privacy laws, in depth, and they suck! So once again, I'm working on moving our site. I'm also considering making our site a friends only site so if I know you (and like you :o)!) then no worries. Anyways, we didn't do much this weekend because I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive so when I started on a scrapbook for my kids on Friday night, I just couldn't put it down. On Saturday night, we went to a friends birthday party and it was HUGE! They are loved but that's not surprising because they are great people! Kevin drove to the party so that gave me the opportunity to drink :o)! So, I drank A LOT which explains the lack of pictures. A couple that just ended their tour in Africa, brought a bottle of this to the party. YUM!

What a FUN week!!!

My sister and her kids are back in Arizona which makes me very sad :o(! Kevin and I have decided that we will probably head back to Arizona in Jan. 2010. I miss my in-laws, grandparents, parents, and sister soooo much. For those of you that are thinking about visiting us in Costa Rica, you better hurry up!

Yummy breakfast with the girls...picture by Lauren

My face is red because I forgot sunblock for our 2 hour tennis lesson. Oops, I won't do that again. Today is going to be a VERY long day because my sister and her kids are coming tomorrow!!!!! I can't wait!! Well, off to the store for diapers, wipes, milk boxes, water, and snacks.

Trip to Cachí Dam!

Kevin and I took the kids to see Cachí Dam which supplies San Jose with hydroelectic power.

After looking at the dam, we took the kids over to Casa El Soñador - Dreamer's House.
This is the home of Hermes Quesada. Following in his fathers footsteps, he carves figures out of coffee plant roots.
