The Hernandez Family

Just a quick little update. No big exciting events to share, but just some cute little things that I want to document so I can look back on and smile. Isabella is LOVING Kindergarten. She loves her bus seat partners, Kamron and Ruby. She loves to pack extra treats in her backpack so she can share them with her friends. She is loving her teacher and recently she has told me that I don't need to walk to the bus stop every day to pick her up, she told me she can walk home by herself (sigh....what...when did I officially become un-needed??) I'm trying to let her be the big girl she wants to be so I wait at the end of the driveway so I can at least make sure she walks home safe (apron stings are slowly being cut!!)

Eva and I walk Isabella to the bus and drop her off-without Isa protesting (at least for now).  It's one of my favorite parts of the day.  Isa gives me and Eva big hugs at the bus stop and then Eva takes me on a walk around the neighborhood.   Her little legs get peddling so fast while she sings a little song.  I just walk behind her and cherish this cute age.  Without fail every day we have to stop and pick up a rock that she finds in the road and we put it in the back of her little trike. Then, we have to find a "wishing flower" so she can put that in her trunk and ride around while the little seeds fly away behind her.  It's seriously melts my heart.  If I could pay someone to let me keep them little forever, I would!!

I did remember to take my camera with me so I could capture Eva's afternoon bike ride.  Here she is  putting her wishing flower in her bike.

I know I will be thankful in 20 years that I captured this ;o)

We got a Blue Betta Fish a couple weeks ago-and somehow I have managed to keep it alive.  The other day me and Eva were cleaning out his little fish bowl and I noticed Eva was losing her pants.  She is so little she can't keep her pants up, it makes me laugh.  And when I tell her she's losing her pants, she gets a real kick out of it and wiggles her butt back and forth.  She's such a ham!

Since Isa is in school all afternoon, that means Eva is my little buddy all afternoon.  I am glad that I had these moments with Isa before Eva was born, so I don't feel guilty that me and Eva have this alone time.  She somehow talks me into buying her lots of treats while we run errands.  That sucker was bigger than her head!

 I told the girls this week that we are going to fly and visit Grandma T. in Montana in a couple of weeks.  After I told them I realized that I hadn't heard any noise from them in awhile (which usually means something bad is going down!!) But, I found them under the table with their airplane bags packed and their favorite books.  I asked them what they were doing and they said that they were on an airplane to see Grandma-pretty cute!

Yesterday the Primary kids had an activity up at the Logan Temple.  They have been filling out little pieces of paper on Sunday for each good deed that they had done during the week and their goal was to make a chain rope that could go around the entire temple.  Had it not been for the bride and groom getting pictures I think they would have came really close to making it around the temple-but since we had to go clear around the picture area, they didn't quite make it.  Proud mama!  We have some awesome kids in our ward!

Who knew that the temple is the best place for entertainment for kids?  The prettiest flowers for them to smell.  A huge fountain of water for their little hands to splash in and a GIGANTIC hill to roll down.  Cool!

And last but not least-we got our house all decorated for Halloween this weekend and I scared the crap out of my 3 yr old with our possessed witch broom-let the scaring begin! Bwaaaahhhhaaahhhaaaahhaaaaaa!!!
