Enjoying Some Chocolate Milk

The Gruezos got a bunch of chocolate milk from a local farm, Batista Family Farm, that they wanted to support during these tough times. Nina did a whole drive around to all of the homies' houses to drop a jug off to each of us.

Zoë finally gets to enjoy some of it today. And she really loves it.

Happy Birthday Wes!

We celebrated Weston's birthday today!

It was over at Nickle, Nickle in Garden Grove so it was in a super cute video game theme. Really loved the PacMan deco.

And Zoë enjoyed all of the fun games!

Happy Birthday Wes!!

Pool Party for Mattox and Eli's Birthday

Summer is here and it's time to celebrate Mattox and Eli's birthday! They threw a pool party, which was just what everyone needed to cool off in the heat.

I got in the pool with Zoë first, but then she got used to sitting on a floaty and I wanted a bit of a break, so Jeric took over with her in the pool while she relaxed on a Taco Floaty!

After pool fun and eating food, it was time for the pinata! It was the string pulling kind, so that was nice and easy for the little ones. Zoë went up, but bummer, she didn't pick the right string. Still, there was plenty of candy for all the kiddos when the winning string was finally pulled at the end!


Penny and Zoë also had a lot of fun playing with each other.


They even sat together while they drank their Capri Suns.

Of course, that was before Zoë teased Penny a bit and Penny decided to play with Cara instead. Lol. Eventually they made up though and all was good.

And before we all left, we attempted a kiddo picture, but the boys were goofing around a ton and the girls were totally not having it. LOL


Happy Birthday Mattox and Eli!

Celebrating Wren & Cara's Birthday

Happy Birthday Wren (5) and Cara (1)!!

We all had a fun time celebrating with you two cuties and really enjoyed the super cute singing and dancing entertainment from them and their cousins!

Zoë especially loved her balloon animal. She did request to have a guinea pig though. Lol, the guy couldn't do it and made her a bunny instead. She knew it was a bunny, but called it her guinea pig. Hahaha. At least she was happy with it!

Zoë and Penny's Disneyland Date

We've been meaning for the girls to hang out for awhile now. But with schedule conflicts and whatnot, it's been hard for us to set one up. We finally found a date that works and decided that they should meet up at California Adventure! Of course, Alex, Gen, Me, Gail and Diego also came along. Hahaha.

Anyhow, we first hit up Monster's Inc when we got in and then wanted to wait in line for the Disney Jr. Dance Party show so the girls can dance together. On our way to park our strollers, we ran into Mickey! Unfortunately, they said he was in a hurry to catch his ride in the Trolley, so we couldn't stop him for photos.

No worries though. The girls got to wave at him!

While in line Zoë was being super shy and not really sociable and poor Penny just wanted to hang out.

Once the line started moving though, the girls were excited to get in. Buuuut, unfortunately, they stopped the line a few families ahead of us. Apparently, the two shows prior to this one were cancelled, so they had a huge influx of people for this show and we didn't make the cut. Poor Penny. She was very unhappy about that. They did have another show that we could line-up for in 45 minutes though. And Diego needed mommy time anyways so everything worked out. Gen took Diego to the baby room while the rest of us hung out near the line. Apparently, they don't let you line-up until 15 minutes prior to show time. The lady said that it's because that area has a lot of stroller traffic. But, seriously, when we looked at where the strollers were it didn't seem like anyone would take strollers that way. *shrug* Anyhow, after Penny calmed down and Gen and Diego got back, it was time to line up! We went through the line and new we were a shoo-in.

Here we are, ready for the show!

Eventually, Penny left us to go dance with the rest of the kiddos up front. Zoë was too shy and didn't want to go. So they didn't really dance together, but they both enjoyed it!

Next, we wanted to hit up the Little Mermaid ride. Me and Gen kinda got there fast and lost Alex and Gail and when we parked the strollers Judy and Nick from Zootopia walked our way. Penny didn't want to get a photo, but Zoë did.

Then, we all got in line for The Little Mermaid and Zoë finally warmed up to Penny!

And here they were together on the ride with me and Gail.

Afterwards, Gen and Alex had to take Diego to get changed so me and Gail took the girls to the Redwood Creek Trail so they can run around together.

Of course, they take us to one of those net things first. Luckily it was just a small one. You just go up a bit and then turn and go back down.

Then, Penny wanted to go through this crawl space, suspended tube thing.

Zoë was next, but she was scared to got through. At the same time, she kinda wanted to. It took a little coaxing, but eventually she went through.

She did freak out when anyone touch the tubes and made them sway slightly, but she was a trooper and crawled to the finish line.

The girls then took us on the rope things again. But this time, the took us on the ones that went all the way to the top where the suspended bridges were. Yah, that was tiring for me and Gail. So when we finally got to ground level, we swayed them to head to the slides.

Then, Gen, Alex and Diego met up with us. By then the girls were a bit hyper-active, so we took them to the tree trunk area so they can run around.

The parents were a little pooped out by the end of the trail area, so we gave them one more ride. It ended up being Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. And while in line, the girlies were so cute! They were hugging each other.

And here is mommy and Zoë on Mater!

I forgot how fun this ride was! Me and Zoë were squealing, screaming and laughing throughout the whole ride.

Great ride to end Zoë and Penny's Disney date!

Post Christmas w/the Zunigas

Celebrated Christmas with the Zunigas today. Zoë had tons of fun gifts to open!

Homies Friendsgiving Fun!

Celebrating Friendsgiving with the homies over at Rock N Brew. It was fun to catchup and hanging out with everyone.

Here's all the girls, minus Zoë. She totally did NOT want to join us for a photo.

And of course, here's the whole gang!

Afterwards, most of us headed over for some Boba and sweets from Cafe 86! While the adults were chatting away and enjoying all the goodies, the kiddos had fun playing. The the girlies were playing so cutely together. They were using straws as pointing sticks and pretending they were in class. So adorable! Nico even dropped by for one of their lessons.


And here are the girlies having a little pow-wow sesh!!
