Ice Cream Man!

I heard the ice cream truck today and knew he was making the circle at the end of our road. I yelled to Aleisha, "Rrrruuuuuunnnnn!!!" She took off running so fast and didn't even know why she was running. When we got outside the ice cream man was laughing. I said, "What?" I looked down and Aleisha only had one shoe on.

I'm laughing so hard while trying to write this!! She had taken off running so fast that one of her shoes came off and was still in the backyard. She just looks down and goes, "Hehe." Cecil must have heard the truck too because there he comes running out of his office (which he built inside our garage) and says, "Hey get me one too." I guess you can tell by all of our reactions that the ice cream man only comes around about once a year. It sure was good!

Here's some pictures for you.

We are finally home! It was a fun trip but I am sure glad to be back. The kids did ok on the plane rides. Aleisha talked my head off on the way to Colorado and asked every two minutes when her beverage was coming. You should have seen the look on her face when the flight attendant brought her a meal on the way home. You would have thought someone had put a million dollars in her lap. It was really cute. Aubrey did good for her first two plane rides. On the way home though, she threw her cup at the window and scared the mess out of the guy in front of her. I just ducked my head and tried to find the cup and not laugh outloud. 

Aleisha loved playing in the snow and Aubrey loved sledding. Aleisha hated sledding and Aubrey hated playing in the snow. They are complete opposites. Here is Aubrey voiceing her opinion on that. Haha!

During the day the guys went snowboarding, while us girls all played in the snow. At night, we went out to eat, hung out at Starbucks and shopped at the local shops in Breckinridge. We were in one shop and Cecil had both the girls while I was looking at shirts. All the sudden I see Cecil but he only has one kid. I started yelling for Aleisha, and there she is searching the store for us. I guess it's time to get one of those leashes with a monkey on it!! 

Aubrey didn't sleep pretty much the entire time we were there. Cecil and I maybe got 4 hours of sleep a night. Here is a picture of Cecil and Aubrey after our second long night with no sleep. Thank God for good coffee. Thanks Mary!

Here's the girls in their thermals after playing in the snow.

Aubrey wasn't happy about playing in the snow again.

I uploaded more pictures to my myspace if you want to see them. Just go to www.myspace.com/kricierobles

Fun in Colorado

We are currently in Colorado on our first family vacation. It's been fun and really cold! Today was the first day playing in the snow and sledding. Aubrey loved sledding and even tried to go by herself. Thank God we caught her before she took off! Aleisha is having a blast playing in the snow and making snow angels.



Tonight we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt and then went to starbucks, and even snuck in some smores crapes from down the road. Ooooohhh they were heavenly!! Aubrey was cracking me up tonight because she kept her tongue out the whole time we were walking back to our car. I finally realized she was trying to catch the snow. When I looked in the backseat her and Aleisha were eating the snow off Aleisha's gloves. So funny!



Well I only have one picture to show you right now because I forgot my camera cord for uploading. We get home Monday so I'll try to show you guys some more pictures.

This was a pretty crazy week for all of us here in the Robles house. Cecil and I were both sick with a cold and the girls had a stomache bug. It's exhausting taking care of two kids that are throwing up! 

My Mom came over Thursday and we decided to let the girls outside. After a week they were finally feeling somewhat better. My mom got the idea that she was going to build the girls a fort in the backyard.  She thought it would be fun to clear out this huge plant I have in my backyard. I had thought about it, but decided against it because I just knew some spider or grasshopper would attack me.  In the end, we cleared out the plant and made a fort for the girls, which they loved. Luckily, no one got attacked. LOL!

This week has been really busy with Aleisha in school, planning for my grandparents 50th anniversary and ordering all of our snow gear for out trip. We are going on a snow trip in Colorado on the 6th of March. We're so excited!! I'll post some pictures of us after we get back. Until then, here are some pictures of the girls in their new fort and playing dress up. Enjoy!

Aleisha's Birthday

Aleisha had her 5th birthday today. She said all day long, "Momma, I'm a big girl now." So cute! She was being nosy this week and trying to listen to my phone conversation. When I got off the phone she demanded I tell her what I was talking about. I told her, "don't worry about it Aleisha, it was a grown up conversation." Her reply was that she was going to be 5 this week and that meant she was grown up.

We celebrated her birthday yesterday which was the 6th. I had to scramble to find a place to have her party. I soooo wanted to have it at this beautiful park in Friendswood but never received a phone call back about it. So, Monday I got online and started hunting. We ended up picking Jump N Jungle which was a blast. You know the huge blow up jumpers you can buy for birthday parties? Well, this place has a huge room designated just for your birthday party full of them. Even the big kids get to jump! 

We had so much fun that at the end of the hour of jumping, I looked around and saw all 7 of us parents sitting on the benches, drenched in sweat! My mom came over today to hang out and all day long she kept saying, "Man my neck hurts from jumping so much." If you ever get a chance to go, go, because it will definitley be a lasting memory for your kids. Even little Aubrey went down those huge slides that reached the ceiling. Just fearless I tell you!!

Anyhow, I'm new to this whole blog thing so hopefully I figure out how to attatch some photo's.
