Splashing' Good Time at the Pool

We got a Family Season-pass for the Lehi-Outdoor Pool this year. We spent almost every single summer day there...it was so fun! We had such a fun time together as a family, enjoying the cold water and wonderful weather!. The weather this year wasn't as hot as others years before. I think we reached the 100's just a couples of times, that's it!. We got a pass for Mary"fulina" too, so she went we us all the time. The best part was when Daddy could go with us during weekends,...it was such a joy for the girls...they are so in-love with daddy and daddy didn't have any chance to relax or do what he wanted BUT to do whatever THEY said!...its always like this anyway in our family, daddy doesn't have to much to say when the girls are around... Poor daddy and then if they are not around ....I'm around!!!...so he doesn't have any choice either...haha.
I really enjoyed going with my girls and have that special time with them, like a mommy-daughter dates. We spent hours at the pool!. They are such a good swimmers!. Kayla learned how to dive and Mimi too!. I loved to see them jumping off the diving board and climbing the rock wall. Being a mom is fun!...specially when I see them enjoying life!

So, Summer Days this year were fun, cool and splashy!

In the Mood for Pictures?

...well, not really...however I got this beautiful pics of Mimi...one of the thing that I like the most about this shot is that I got her personality... "One picture and I'M DONE!!!
Anyways, I was lucky for a while and got some few good shots of Dominique. Dominique is really hard to shot, first because she doesn't like it and second because she is always busy, busy...so to ask her for some of her busy schedule for pictures...not too often!...Pictures are not her priorities at all!. Love my MIMI!

Their First Day of School 2011-12

WoW! I can believe School started today!..My girls are growing so fast!. Dominique is in 5th grade and Kayla is in 4th grade this year.Getting ready this time was more fun for me than years before. They were so excited to see their friends but for me its was exciting to see them talking about what they were gonna wear, make up and all those girly stuff. It took them a couple of hours to get ready. They were giggling and having so much fun before they left. I was having fun just to look at them ...I was thinking my little "muffins" are not little any more...although they are still my "muffins", they are young ladies now...thinking about boys,friends, make-up and have fun.

The Czirr's Girls go out on a Date

We decided to have a "Mommy & Daughters" date today to the Aquarium. School will start in a few days so we thought it was a good idea to go before that happens. It was a really nice day, not really hot and we didn't have anything else to do after so we weren't in any hurry at all... we could enjoy anything and everything.
...well, the girls started to fight in the car on the way to the Aquarium, nice!...then they were already a little bit "sassy" by the time we got there. I got upset ...so I asked them to try their best but even that I asked them a few time to stop...they kept going on and on with their attitude ...so, I decided to go home ...our date instead of being a super fun time together turned into a stressful and not that fun outing...I was sad and disappointed with them. I get frustrated, they are not little babies. They should behave better when we go out to have fun, so everybody can enjoy being together. We like to do things together but lately it's has been a pain!...there's always a fight or an attitude going on!..I hate it!...then I get all mad and frustrated and the fun its gone!...I'm not saying its all their fault because I should know better how to control my temper too and that's why I get so upset because when I get mad I don't know how to calm down, I just need to be alone,yell if I need to,etc,etc,etc.
Oh well, at least it wasn't the end of the world...and actually at the end of our date they said sorry ... we kissed and we all felt better!.

She is an Artist!...and Artists do it with Creativity.

We always have known about Dominique's artistic talents. We know, talking for our whole family, that each week there's a different project coming up!. We always joke about it, because Dominique can't be still not even for 1 minute!...her mind is always working!...she said one night to us when she was maybe around 4 years old:..." mom can you turn off my brain so I can go to sleep, please?". Everybody had a good laugh!. She was a little baby maybe 2 when she started to color and love paper!..She ate paper, cut paper, glue paper...whatever you can think of but WITH PAPER!..and she was and is the same Dominique now!... but she keeps amazing us with her creations. She made this car yesterday. I was so impressed with all the details and creativity she put in it!...the steering wheel, the window on top, the doors...etc,etc,etc.
Dominique is for sure an artist! everything she does, she does it amazingly beautiful even all the mess she left behind of a day of "project creation".
What a blessing is to have her in our family!

Our "All American Girl"...Born in the USA!

Kayla turned 9 this year!...I can't believe how the time gone by!. She is turning into a beautiful and sweet young girl. Kayla is the most sweet, friendly, and adorable person...with a strong will personality since she was a little baby. Dominique said the other day..."Kayla surely is the heart of our family, I miss her when she is not with us". Kayla is one of the most important part of our family. We love her dearly!...I remember when she was a baby how much she loved to cuddle and be kissed by mama, she still does!. She is Dominique's best friend and viceversa. She knows how to get whatever she wants with those big puppy eyes she has!. Kayla is a MAMA'S GIRL!
Kayla wanted a Summer 4 of July B-Day Party with all her friends this year. That's what she wanted that's what she got!. We had to have it on June 21st because of the weird weather, and we knew for sure that day was gonna be hot, so...We got the 4 of July b-day cup cakes she wanted, balloons,treats,games, a movie, water and of course, make yourself ice cream sundae!!..lots of sugar involved!. It was a blast!...Kayla had lots of fun and everybody looked happy. Melanie was in charge of the games. Melanie is our girls favorite auntie. They have this really cool relationship between them and I loved it!. I'm happy to know that they have somebody else beside me they can trust and count on.
So, the party was a success!, then...3 hours later I went to have the rest I deserved!

Any Man Can Be A Father, But It Takes Someone Special To Be A Daddy

Dominique and Kayla had been planning what they were gonna do for "Daddy special day". They didn't want me to help but just to buy "manjar" and the book Daddy wanted so bad...everything else was taking care of...letters, breakfast menu, and a special song for him. They did the pancakes with manjar.
They can't love their daddy more than they already do!!!...Their daddy is everything for them!...I love to see them playing tickle monster every night and when daddy its to tired... just a couple of puppy eyes, with some tears and daddy is ready to play again no matter how tired he is...Love the relationship that girls have with their daddies!...Daddy, of course used his endless "nap coupon" for this year again...and who cares, today was his day!
Love ya Daddy!
