Boating fun

My dad put the boat in while we were in Wisconsin so we were able to go out on the lake.  The kids even got to take turns driving the boat.  It was so nice to be out on the lake.  I miss it!!  The water wasn't quite warm enough for swimming.   

Tyler and Jenneah's wedding

Tyler and Jenneah's wedding was June 16.  I didn't get many good photos from the wedding, but here's a few.  It was a very fun wedding! 

Isabel and Austin had fun dancing together.

Wisconsin Fun

During our trip to Wisconsin we did lots of fun things, including a trip to the Milwaukee Zoo, playing at the park, Bookworm Gardens, meeting up with friends and celebrating birthdays with family. 

 We went to the Milwaukee County Zoo with Annie, Decker and Abuela. 

 The kiddos loved feeding the goats at the Milwaukee Zoo. 

 We just happened to run into Isabel and her grandma when we were about to get on the train. 

 Whee!  Our gutsy little guy loves to hang on the monkey bars. 

 High school friends and their kids.  We had a fun play date at the park and walk along the lakefront. 

 "Nessie"  A guy my dad knows carved the lockness monster out of a tree. 

 We celebrated mom's birthday a few days early.   Happy Birthday Mom! 

 We had a fun day at Bookworm Gardens.  This place is a great outdoor adventure for kids. 

 Aliya and great grandma. 

Decker's Baptism

Annie and Jeremy's little boy was baptized on Sunday, June 10 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Wauwatosa.  Roberto and I are honored to be the sponsors for this little guy.  After the baptism we went to Annie and Jeremy's house for a cookout.   

 Jeremy's family. 

 Grandpa and Roberto played a game and grandpa won! 

Aliya was so proud to get a chance to hold her baby cousin. 

Graduation!

On June 9, 2012, Roberto walked in the graduation ceremony in Milwaukee for completing his master's in accounting at the University of Phoenix.  It was great to watch him walk across the stage and celebrate this big accomplishment.  He started and finished school with two small kids, a very demanding new job and pesky wife.  :o)  I'm very proud of Roberto for his accomplishment!  We celebrated that day with a small, family party at his sister's house. 

 The proud grad!!

 The kiddos loved the cake! 

 The girls had fun with baby Decker. 

DC with Grandpa

My grandpa is a World War II veteran.  He was a Ranger and climbed the wall on D Day!  He was one of 224 veterans from Wisconsin who went on the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight from Milwaukee to DC on Saturday, June 2.  We drove from BWI and went to try and meet up with my grandpa to surprise him.  Roberto dropped Brayden and I off at the WWII Memorial and he and Aliya went to park the car.  Aliya was still sleeping.  Brayden and I luckily found my grandpa as he and his guardian were heading back to the bus to go to their next stop the Lincoln Memorial.  Brayden and I walked down to the Lincoln Memorial to meet up with him again.  Roberto and Aliya made it with just a few minutes to spare before the veterans had to get back on the bus to their next stop over by Arlington National Cemetary. 

 There were two planes that went from Wisconsin to DC.  The veterans are in the blue shirts and the guardians are in red.

Puerto Rico 2012

We went to Puerto Rico May 26 - June 2 to visit Roberto's dad.  Roberto has lots of aunts, uncles and cousins who live in Puerto Rico and we manage to visit with a few of them as well.  The kids did great on the plane and with all of the traveling around to visit people.  Roberto's sister, niece and his mom also made the trip. 

 The kids had fun playing on their car seats, while we waited for the rental car. 

 Roberto and his uncle Mariano. 

 We rented a condo in Aguadilla and stayed there with Rosy and Isabel.  The kids had so much fun playing with their cousin and it was nice for the adults to be able to hang out and unwind at the end of the day. 

 Jammie kids waiting for breakfast. 

 The condo had a pool and we spent a lot of time swimming.  The kids LOVED the water. 

 Nap time. All that swimming made for some tired kids.  Both Aliya and Brayden wanted to nap with Isabel.  They love their big cousin! 

 Roberto's dad came over to our condo for the afternoon and colored with the kids. 

 Rosy and Roberto with their dad. 

 The whole clan at dinner. 

 Snack time by the pool!

 Beach time!  We went to crash boat in Aguadilla.  The water was nice and warm.  The kids loved swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand. 

 Roberto's mom and dad both came to the beach with us one day.

 Fun in the sand. 

 "Look at my crayons!"

 To help entertain the kids while we were visiting relatives, they played games on the iPhones.   

 Visiting with Roberto's aunt Santa. 

 Little fishies!

 Roberto's uncle Guelo and Abuelo with the kids. 

 Roberto's uncle did magic tricks for the kids.  They were in awe. 

 We finally got a family pic on the last day!

 It rained when we visited Roberto's dad and Aliya had fun trying to catch the rain drops in the shovel. 

 We flew out early in the morning and the kids were exhausted!
