Favorite this Week!

So I know that I don't go into the most detail about our weeks. Therefore I have decided to start this little Favorite things this week, comments, stories, whatever.
The winner this week is.....

Sophie loves to sing right now. We sing every disney, barbie, primary song, Taylor Swift, song that we know. She does it everywhere, at the pool, grocery shopping wherever. People always smile and comment at the store but my favorite by far this week was her singing Taylor Swifts " you belong with me" she sings it word for word. The best is that she is always making faces like she is performing and she closes her eyes on the high parts to really, you know hit those notes. Mike said his favorite is when she sings "Cinderelli, Cinderelli night and day Cinderelli" you know the song from Cinderella.

One more favorite this week:
We decided to try and go to the drive in movies. Mike and I love movies and since going out on a date is a little impossible we thought oh a family activity like this would be sooooo fun. So fun let me tell you we had Cirque de soleil going on in our vehicle. I don't know what was best MJ changing the station so music is blaring, Sophie acting like she is driving honking the horn or one of them pushing all the buttons in the car and changing the a/c to the heater. Seriously an absolutely amazing experience. (Quell I definetly needed a diet Super sized haha)

Fun in the Sun




We love Swimming. We have to brag because Sophie can swim the whole pool. She is such a little fish. Deep end, shallow end you name it she swims it by herself. (Yes Dad, don't worry I still am always watching her.) The kids and I swim everyday, but swimming is always better if daddy can come. The kids love their dad. When he is home that is all they want. And that is all I want. So we all have to share. Man we love our Dad!!! Everytime we go to the pool or out in public I have 3 or 4 people comment on MJ's skin and how tan he is. The other day at the pool a young lady from Brazil asked if my husband was darker skinned, italian or some other race. Because my son is so dark. I kind of giggled and said nope my husband is a fair skinned american boy.

Playing around





MJ flexing is priceless. We got the kids some blocks and they love to build castles. The highlight though is when Sophie puts so much thought and effort into her castles and MJ immediately runs through them, kicking them over and yelling ooohhh! Sophie of course breaks into tears and MJ starts laughing. Gotta love it!

Fun at the Park



Taija's Birthday




This is our little friend Taija. Mj just loves her. She had her #1 Birthday. The kids had a lot of fun. As you can see my daughter was the closest one to the cake and I had to stop her from blowing out the candle. Of course she was the first to have a lick of icing.

The Children's Museum



We went to the Children's museum in Fort Lauderdale. The kids liked to see all the fish, sharks, and turtles. They also enjoyed playing in the children's area they had old bikes, cars, fun tree houses, bubbles. It was a fun friday afternoon. Luckily it was free admission fridays. I have to be honest it is not worth what they normally charge that is for sure, but free you can't complain.

MJ's 3 Steps



These are MJ's 3 steps to being done eating. Step 1)Get on top of high chair. Step 2) carefully stand up. Step 3) jump off to whoever is standing closer mom or dad. These happens almost every meal.
