I made a video to display the scrapbook I made for baby Amelia!!!

10 Bars in 10 Hours!!!

So, earlier this month, Emmy had a themed birthday bar-hop:

Schwarzeneggers and Stallones

where you come dressed as a character from one of either actors'

movies.

Derrick and Krystal aka Harry and Helen Tasker from

TRUE LIES

To-Quyen (Rocky), Marie (Gabe Walker/Cliffhanger), and Emmy (Rambo)

School Shopping

So today Isabel and I decided to go shopping for school clothes. We ended up at Old Navy. She had sooooooo much fun picking out clothes and trying them on! We got into the dressing room and she told me she was going to do a "Fashion Show" for me. So each time she put on an outfit she walked and did a pose! So cute! I was instructed to clap after each pose.

After the clothes we tried to tackle the school supplies. So off we went to Wal-Mart. But, being that I hadn't done this before.....I forgot the school supply list and Wal-Mart didn't have one of those stations where you could pull the list for the local schools. I decided to wing it anyway......we'll see what's missing!

Isabel is going to model the outfits once again for pictures! I will post them later! Our little girl is now "school-aged"......time goes by sooooooooo fast! She's ready.....but mommy isn't!

Emmy's 29th Birthday Dinner

Here's the Birthday Girl! We celebrated on August 6th but her real birthday is today (August 7th)....HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMY!!! We had a nice family dinner at Bucca di Beppo in Lynnwood....and the food was yummy!

Gabe and Luke! OK......I SUPPOSE Gabriel looks more like Luke (IN THIS PICTURE)!


Krystal and Derrick.....the lovebirds!

Emmy and Isabel. Isabel was so excited that her Auntie Emmy was dressed like her! "We have the same dress on!" she said at the beginning of the evening.....doesn't Emmy look like Pretty woman (remember that brown polk dot dress with the hat and the white gloves?).

I made a recipe scrapbook for Emmy for her birthday. She had been wanting a book of mom's recipes...so I made her one!!!! I'll take photos of the pages and post later.

The first page featured a picture of mom in the center and photos of each of us on each petal.

Emmy and Mom (aka Lady - it's a long story)!

Another sister picture......and Isabel in the background trying to get in the picture....what a ham!

Mom and her girls! Isabel poked her head in this picture too!!!! He he.

Gabriel LOVES ice cream!

The intertwined arm pose.....too cute! Awwwwwww....the lovebirds!

Isabel and her Lolo. Gelatos.....yummy!

This is how Gabe decided to eat the gelto.....from the side. He's an original!

Telus Science World

It was too rainy to go to the zoo :( We ended up at Science World where we learned lots of cool things. The place was full of little game booths (the learning kind), movies, presentations, good food, and a shop. Isabel went crazy going from booth to booth looking at everything. What did we learn??? Well, I learned that there are three kinds of stinky fart gases, when diluted are also present in some perfumes....but I don't remember what the gases are called....I only remembered the funnys stuff!!!!

Isabel on the video wheelchair race game.

Isabel played this video wheelchair race game.......she didn't win....but it was okay.

Luke and Dad....Super Lolo won!!!

Krystal vs. Emmy.....I wonder who won???

Our vacation is coming to a close....:( We will be returning home tomorrow!!!

We're back in Blaine, Washington staying overnight. See you all soon! Check back because I'm posting a slideshow of all the photos!

Next Stop......Vancouver BC! The Aquarium!!!!

We woke up and saw it drizzling outside :( So we knew for sure that going to the Zoo was out. We opted for the Vancouver Aquarium!! This place is super cool (as Isabel would say). There were lots of tanks and a big area to watch dolphins! Despite the rain, we had fun! And we got a few good pictures!

We got some cool shots!!!

There was this area where butterflies were flying about.....kinda freaked me out cuz....well....insects freak me out! So we walked through and took some pictures....Isabel liked it.....Gabe wasn't sure what we were all looking at......he he.

Not sure what kind of lizards these are...but they're UGLY!

Now this was a cool photo.....it looks fake, doesn't it????

We got to see a dolphin show! Gabe and Bel were squealing with delight!!! It was so funny!

The dolphins were showing us thier colors! I can't remember their names....but most of them were rescued from fishing nets.......bad bad humans!!!!! Needless to say, they were rehabilitated and they seem to be doing fine.....guaranteed meals everyday.....not so bad!

Dolphins midair!

This is a fish.......looks like coral or something....but it's a fish...see the mouth in the middle?
