Too cute!

July 27th, 2010

I asked Penny to smile at the camera and check out the pose and smile she gave-

Too bad I didn’t get it in focus, but isn’t she the cutest!!

Giddy-up!

July 26th, 2010

On Saturday, we headed into the valley for some sun and horseback riding.  Penny was able to ride with me on the horse for a little bit, which she LOVED, then I headed out with some friends for a trail ride while Penny and Steve explored.  Can’t wait for Penny to get a little older so she can ride too!!!

Happy belated birthday Penny

July 23rd, 2010

Steve and I wanted to get Penelope a doll stroller for her birthday, but were unable to find one.  We found one today while we were downtown and Penny loves it!  Seeing Penny and her doll stroller brings back fond memories of the all the girls on Westland ave giving doll parades.  I can’t wait for Penny and her friends to start having them!

Sunday stroll

July 19th, 2010

Sunday was such a beautiful day, we decided to spend the morning walking around downtown.  We ended up in the plaza where Penny was able to run around, feed the birds and make some new friends.  What a great day!

Like father like daughter!!-

Saturday morning

July 17th, 2010

This morning, we all sat together at the table for a waffle and fruit breakfast.  A perfect way to start the day!

Friday Fun

July 17th, 2010

Friday was a holiday here, Virgen del Carmen day, so Steve had the day off from work.  To celebrate we headed to the zoo with some food in tow to feed the animals.  Penny had a blast feeding the ducks and rabbits and the big tortoise!  She even got to chase around a litle lamb.  We then followed the beat of some drums across the street and found a big Virgen statue that must have been paraded through the streets earlier.  Though we missed that, we were lucky enough to find groups of people dressed in indigenous garb and dancing for her.

Princess Penelope

July 12th, 2010

Penny’s good friend Lily gave Penny a beautiful princess outfit for her birthday.  Penny wore it for the first time on Tuesday, when Lily came over o play.  Penny looked adorable in it and had a great time with Lily.  Lily is moving to the US and will be living near Jack.  Though Penny was sad to see Lily leave, she’s happy that Jack will have Lily to play with again.

Last day with Grandpa Tom

July 12th, 2010

Grandpa Tom left last Monday and Penny was sad to see him go.  She had such a nice visit with him and can’t wait to see him in August!!

Awww, Leyna

July 4th, 2010

The older Penny gets, the more she loves Leyna.  Penny was outside playing with her sidewalk chalk and I guess Leyna was too :)

Happy Birthday to Grams and my other country!

July 4th, 2010

In celebration of Grams’ and the US’ birthday, Penny and Grandpa Tom decorated some cupcakes (I think more frosting ended up in Penny then on the cupcakes!)
