First day of school 2010

Sydney is so excited this year to be a big girl and go to school all day. She was up at 6am this morning just dying to get to school and see her friends. Sydney loves the fact that she will have recess and lunch at school this year.

Blake my baby headed off to preschool today too.  He even got to ride the bus to school. My baby is such a big boy. He was just so excited to ride the bus. I on the other hand was sad to see my kids growing up. I cried when he got on the bus.  Rami followed the bus for a little bit but felt like a crazy parent so he came home. lol.  I still  drove to the school to see him get off the bus and go with his teacher.  I can't wait to pick them up and see how there day went.

Enchiladas, Beans and Rice

Rami and I got to sqeeze in some date time!  We went to my favorite Mexican place out here. I love the enchilada and crispy taco with beans and rice.  Lets not forget the chips and salsa. MMMMMM I already want to go back. I love that place.

Growing up with my family we always went to eat at Taco Ernie's in Cali for any and all occasions.That was one of our traditions and happy memories with my family.  My mom has been going there since she was a kid growing up with her family.  So thats why I probably still love having enchildas beans and rice. I will always order that.

Blake turns 4!

My BABY turned 4!  I cant believe how fast they are growing up. We had a nice lil birthday for Blake this year. He got some transformer toys and other superhero toys.  He loves his superheros!

We also got to hangout with Monique and Firas. We swam, bbq'ed and hung out with them while they were here in Vegas for the weekend.

Our Last Hurrah!

 School is starting in 2 weeks! This summer went so fast. So for our last hoo-raw we used our free room at the Aliante Casino.

Blake and Rami are taking a break from swimming.

Our last morning...Rami is lounging reading the paper. What more can you ask for?! It was awesome. I can't believe the summer is practically over and we will be back to a routine and going to school. No more sleeping in and just doing whatever we want for the day.

Michaelis Family Reunion 2010

Its been at least 4 years since I have been up to Utah to see my Grandparents and all the family we have up there. I think its been that long for my Dad too. So in order to make it up to the reunion we left Friday from my house. My brother and sister played and took care of my kids while I drove us up there.

What was supposed to be a 6 hour drive turned into an all day event because we had some problems with our tires and spent alot of the day waiting for the tires to get fixed. It was a long day. UMMM did I mention it was a freaking 109 degrees up in Utah!!!! Yea I leave Vegas thinking Im going somewhere cooler and it was just as hot!

but it was well worth it because we made it to the reunion and got to see grandma and grandpa and all the Michaelis Family. We even got to hang out with Steven who now lives in Utah working as a Wildland Firefighter.

4 generations

I even got to visit Homeskillet. My most favorite college roomies. We had some fun adventures.

B I N G O

While Rami's parents were in town visiting we tried to go out as much as possible. So I would put the kids to bed then Rami and I went to try out BINGO. It was fun spending time together and Rami even won some mula. My sister says she has never seen Rami smile so big as in these pictures with his money, lol. 

4th of July 2010

4th July this year was spent at Roberts House where we had Taco's and watched the men give us a firework show.

Blake burned his finger this year with a sparkler. But he was a lil trooper once we got ice on it.

The girls sitting getting ready to watch the fireworks.
