Alexander, Isabella, and Brandon play with Choo Choos! Cheryl watched Isabella for 4 weeks while I taught ASL classes at Beaumont Adult School. In return, I helped watch her kids, Brandon and baby Andrew while they got settled in their new home in Sundance.
Baby Andrew
Riding big brother's scooter
Alexander made this design entirely by himself. Impressive!
The Living Desert. Cute little trains to watch.
There was a fun play area for kids where they can explore, get wet, and have fun!
Little duckies
She looks like a sick patient in a hospital... Just Isabella's routine daily breathing treatment for her asthma.
Fun making cupcakes with Mommy.
Waiting for them to cook.
Eating time! The kids helped to choose the frosting color, use the food coloring, and mix up red and blue to make purple frosting. Science at work in our own kitchen.
Daily yogurt routine
Alexander's preschool work
Spring Break- Mommy and Daddy went to Sea World, San Diego with Alexander. We got free Fun Cards for being teachers and just had to pay for Alexander. Isabella spend the day bonding with Courtney.

Sick weekend for Bussa Man. He had two weekends in a row (first two of April) of being sick with fever and tummy troubles.
So pretty!
Let's go shopping!
Cookin' my chicken!
Yummy cookies

Isabella now fits nicely on Alexander's little bike.
Living Desert- Robin and her Mom bought a membership to the Living Desert in Palm Desert and split the cost for the year ($45 each, includes the two adults and 4 kids each visit). We can bring friends for 1/2 off. Too bad Disneyland doesn't have that deal!
Petting Zoo with Ashton
Hands on fun at the Living Desert.
It snowed a few days in April! Crazy for Southern California. The weird part is it was in the 80s and 90s a few days before and after each snow storm.
Kaylie and I ground wheat and made fresh wheat bread without talking to practice our American Sign Language. We made 4 loaves. Yummy! Then we learned the words for the Signing Time DVD Time to Eat! Very appropriate for our theme of the day.
We made our last visit to the Jump Zone in Redlands. It was very sad because they are going out of business... We had planned to have Isahella's 2nd Birthday Party there. On to plan B.
Bussa Man plays air hockey with random kids.
We should take the princess castle home with us.
Another snow day in the middle of April 2011!
Mommy found some great deals at the Sundance semi annual yard sale.
Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner
Yummy chocolate brownie peanut butter cookies (use butter not margarine, or else they stick to the pan and don't fully cook on the bottom...)
Mommy was frustrated with Alexander and sent him into timeout in his room until Daddy came home (20 min later or so). When we came in to check on him, he was asleep under his laundry basket. That isn't good!
Bagel making Bonanza at Chanelle's house for Moms Club.
Mommy is on a homemade French Bread Kick! Daily bread for all!
