We love Chinese Food!

We love our Sweet and Sour Chicken

Tasteful boudoir portrait

I had a wonderful time spending a day with Suzan Turner when she was in Cincinnati, visiting from Cali before she left to Spain, He had a great time, I can't help but wish she lived closer. We are so alike in so many ways! We even got to get a few pics! Here are a few of my pictures

This child cracks me up!

Happy Birthday Noah bear! Cool guy who makes my day funnier! 4 years old today and no better way to laugh - with you then with these pictures!

So I got to download the pictures from my little camera and I find abput 25 pictures of Noah! Here there are 14 of them, some have me and Ben in the back so I'm thinking he took pictures of himself! Even his arms positions look that way, but still I can't figure it out when and how he did this! LOL It's just funny all around!

XOXO to my bear

Thanks Kristin!

We being talking about Benjamin doing a sport as an extra activity after school but we just never take the time to go sign him up (awful parents - I know!). We lost AGAIN the sign up for SAY Soccer so when I got the local Community Center paper right the way I started reading and marking the ones I was thinking were a good idea: Soccer - Karate - Gymnastics - Tennis - Golf, Swimming...

Well, after talking to daddy and Ben about it, B was no way to be flexible - he had his heart and mind set into TENNIS! =)
Great!!!  I'm loving it I think it's awesome and at no means I want to be negative I just know how my son works.
He will take the racket and believe he can hit all the balls easily like he does on the WII game. I talked to him about it and explained and explained! It requires lots of work and concentration!

Anyways the classes don't start until April and Ben is a bag full of anxiety waiting for this class to start! I don't want to go out and get him the gears just yet because I want to make sure he is really gonna be into it! I posted a little note on Facebook to see if anyone had an extra one laying around to let us use or for sale. K found a pair at a GW store and got it for him and Noah!

And the rest you can see:

Noah & I got hair cuts! =DD


Drinking some hot chocolate with marshmellows - treat for being such a big boy while getting a hair cut!
Tomando um copo de chocolate quente com marshmelos - um presentinho por se comprtar super bem durante o corte de cabelo!

Phone shot of my cut - very happy with it! * Fotinho do meu cabelo pelo celular, gosteu muito! =)

Smiles for my soul! =)

My beautiful boys


Ooopss - Maceo closed his eyes, let's try again!!


Benji finally got to go rock climbing

Isaac's birthday party was at a rock climbing wall room - how cool?! Ben has being asking to go rock climbing for months now - but he is too little - usually they have to be at least 5 yrs old! I think he did great for a 4.5! He is tall enough!!!



"Come to daddy's arms!" =)))

Soooo high! (well - for a little kid !)


Proud Parents! =)))



Up! up! up! & up! And mama never stoped taking pictures! lol

Benji's school pictures arrived

And I’ll just feel funny giving them out to everyone, not everyone cares to have them – so if you want one or tow – let me know! =)

Random photos from last week...

Last week we spent a lot of time with our extended family. Friday we had lunch and spent the rest of the day at cousins house. Last weekend too...
Dan was so impressed with how happy people are around here. Simple and VERY happy life! =)

We also spent a whole day at a market here in downtown Curitiba - like a farmers market where we found all kinds of fresh food. We got a aloe vera and a lavendar plant to Vovoh Fatima and lots of yummie food.

* Our hairy cousin João; such a happy baby!


* Boys looking for puppies under the car! (I can't make this pic turn around the right way - not sure why!)


* Just being himself - always happy and easy going Noah Bird


* His new favorite way to watch TV


Benji & Noah had so much fun with cousins Luiz & Baby João
* Ben & Luiz Gustavo - they are so much alike - it's fun to watch!


* Playing their violão - hours and hours of music every day! (pay attention to the knees - both boys with booboos on the right knee!)


* In the way back from Luiz's house they all crashed! Including Vovoh Celso

The Gs at Caiobá beach

We went to the beach this weekend and overall it was great! The boys absolutely loved – Benji had a blast, Noah was not so sure at first but of course after all he wasn’t happy to leave. We were so lucky to get the greatest weather (maybe even a little too much sun for Dan & I). I can say everything was perfect and the boys will sure have the best memories of their first time at the beach.
The waves were a little too strong in my opinion – I felt down twice and busted out the biggest laugh ever!!! The ocean is awesome – the most amazing place ever! But to be honest I’m happier at the pool (at least when it comes to going with my kids) – The biggest sand box in the world it’s NOT a happy place for me (again – at least not with small kids) I can’t understand today how my parents ever did with me and my sister, little - for the whole summer or weeks at the time at the beach.
Salt – Sand – Sun isn’t a good combination to me at this time of my life.
I’m SUCH a pool person! LOL (Funny how things can change easily) And I sure was a bitch at the beach (not to my family – but to everyone else who helped to make my life harder)
Well-I must get it out of my chest – that people that doesn’t have kids should never make plans for people that does. Also – if someone wants to do something nice for you – first this person should make sure you want that! Don’t tell someone to “make yourself home” when you are imposing 600 rules and you want people to do things your way – at your time! Grrrr!
Phewwww! I sure feel much better….
But going back to talking about the good parts of it – I must say Benji made the coolest friend; Luigi, and his mom was very cool too. Also - as usual Kadu, Guga &Claudia were so helpful with the kids. Kadu I must say it’s a pretty cool friend. =)
I’m sure Caco got the coolest pics but these are the only ones I have on my camera to share right now:

* Dan & I


* Noah bird


* Noah bird again - always with his sunglasses


* Benji & my dad having all kinds of fun
