At the train expo with Sean's friend Harlen
Sean's Christmas Pageant. He's the reindeer in the lower left. The costume was so bulky he spend the whole time readjusting it, he got quite a few chuckles from the crowd. At one point all the reindeer left and he was so busy pulling up the reindeer head and pulling up the reindeer body, he didn't know he was supposed to get off stage, and was on about a minute too long. Once he figured it out, he really got some laughs.

Just what Sean asked for from Santa, a hungry hippos game!

Game on

On the way to Mike and Lori's we stopped in Riverside to see my friend Danielle. She took us to a Mexican Restaurant, where the back of the property is a whimsical sculpture garden made out of trash.

The kids had a blast together

Sean and Sarah learn skateboard Safety

2011-08-13T19:01:00.000-07:00

Dad gave Sean and Sarah a lesson in skateboard safety today before Sean got his first skateboarding lesson. He loved it and had a blast. Mission accomplished. Baby steps are good.

Our little boy is not little any more

2011-07-26T19:59:00.001-07:00

We celebrated Sean's fourth birthday last weekend at the park next to our house. Sean really enjoyed seeing all of his friends from pre school and has been having a blast with his cousins visiting from Nevada. The ponies were a big hit and we finished with cake and a sponge bob piñata. Before Sean's cousins left we had a nice day at the beach and his cousin Keira was even brave enough to catch a few waves on the boogie board with her uncle for the first. Keira ended up losing her first tooth and leaving it for the tooth fairy during her stay here and this along with all of the other fun things they did made for a lot of great memories that the kids will keep with them forever

Life is full of miracles

2011-07-19T18:42:00.000-07:00

Its the little questions, moments and details that make life what it is. Like whose night is it to put the kids to sleep/brush their teeth or Why is Casey Anthony starying minutes from where my kids were at Legoland today? ( Mary Ann told me Good Morning America was at the theme park earlier this morning before she arrived according to other park visitors). Maybe something as simple as how did my son get his lips so blue from that eating that popsicle or how is my daughter so incredibly cute with her pink baby stroller and can I please stop time right now and enjoy this moment for eternity.

In addition to these small life details today there were three other vivid and memorable moments as always tends to be the case when you are the parent of squirrelly, adventurous toddlers and here they are for you to enjoy:

The first happened when Sean was crying/whining over what looked to be stubbed toe he got from swim practice. While crying frantically he agreed to wash it and somehow I could no longer see the bloody area as it was gone minutes later to which he told me, “My body just sucked up all the blood and that’s why it disappeared”. We put a band aid on it and dubbed it the "magic toe".

The second moment occurred when I went out in backyard in the afternoon to play/garden with the kids and watched a bee suck nectar from the banana flower in my yard (sorry no pic of the bee b/c it flew away,maybe I’ll try tomorrow for the pic if the bee comes back for its daily banana nectar yum)

The third and final moment was the new addition to our dinner prayer which Sean has graciously added to our daily grace each night. Only a four year old can make being thankful for a microwave or barbecue sound cute. Whats even better is the objects/food change each night according to his latest interests/flavors. Never a dull moment around the Fernandes house.

Luau videos

2011-06-15T14:28:00.000-07:00

Here is a little taste of the Luau we went to last night. Amazing theatrics, singing, lighting, and overall performance.

Coco palms

2011-06-15T14:19:00.000-07:00

Apparently this run down hotel was made famous by Elvis back in the 50's/60's. As you can see by the pics it is now a run down transient paradise and hard to imagine it being anything that inspired a vision of more romantic times of the past

Kauaian Luau

2011-06-15T13:54:00.000-07:00

Last night we took the kids to a traditional hawaiian Luau at an old sugar plantation. Before the Luau we went on a train ride around the plantation. Sean and Sarah loved the train ride particularly when we stopped to feed the wild pigs and goats. Mary Ann and I both agreed that it was by far the best Luau we had ever attended. Rather than just sing and dance it had a theatrical feel to it where they told a story throughout with an incredible almost Cirque de Soleil feel to it. One of those moments that you know your kids will remember forever and it really embodied the aloha spirit that we have found to be so prevalent here on Kauai. Video clips of the Luau soon to follow.

Swim Class

2011-06-13T21:38:00.001-07:00

Sean went from not wanting to put his head in the water, to being a fish and loving it! His favorite thing to do is go in our hot tub and show me how he can glide, see underwater and how long he can hold his breathe.

Sean's School Concert

2011-05-30T12:44:00.000-07:00

You don't know how happy this picture is for me to see! I no longer have to dig the holes for the kids, Sean can do it!

Hey Mom and Dad, I'm off to get some water. Mom, I'm not stopping, so you'll have to run into the waves and get me!

Hopefully their will be a lot more days like this coming soon!

Circus!

2011-03-30T19:23:00.000-07:00

Sean and I went with our neighbors to the circus! I guess since I've last been to the circus they have stopped using animals... it has probably been about 20 years since my last circus. We had a lot of fun, and the boys were glued to the trapeze!

Here is Sarah doing one of her favorite games, peek a boo

And here is Sarah, ready for Spring.

Snowday!

2011-02-28T16:34:00.001-08:00

Saturday night we had a storm that gave us snow at 2000 ft. So a half hour east and we were in the snow having a snow fight! We thought at the end of the day it would be a good ending with a fire.

This is how Aaron leaves for work

2011-02-28T16:32:00.000-08:00

Every morning the kids climb in Aaron's car and help him drive out to the driveway. Sarah is now getting so much into this tradition she has a melt down if she thinks Aaron is going without her....

Meeting Santa

2010-12-14T19:36:00.001-08:00

Sean and Sarah did great. Sean told Santa that he wanted a green side loader trash truck and an elmo doll for baby Sarah.

Christmas Card Lane

2010-12-14T19:34:00.000-08:00

A favorite of ours, Christmas Card lane, where a bunch of houses get very serious with their christmas decorations. Sarah got in the front seat and had a blast!

The Beach in December!

2010-12-14T19:29:00.000-08:00

2010-12-01T21:51:00.000-08:00

On Nov. 31st something clicked with Sarah and instead of taking 3 or 4 steps, she started slowly walking across the room!

The feast of Child Mary

2010-11-19T20:11:00.001-08:00

Sean's school had the Feast of Child Mary today. They brought Flowers to the statue of Mother Mary and then sang a bunch of songs to celebrate. Followed by a Feast of refreshments! Sean as you can tell in the video didn't sing to well, but his friend next to him was having a great time belting out the words!

Disneyland!

2010-11-19T19:14:00.000-08:00

Ah Disneyland! Sean loved his first time. His favorite part was "the circus!". After some questions we found out he meant the parade. It was crowded, so we'll have to go again, but it was quite a fun day with his cousins!

Halloween

2010-10-31T20:43:00.001-07:00

We started the day by finding a black widow... Spooky. Here is a picture of the garbage truck I made for Sean. We went on 2 streets, stopping at his old school at Mrs. Lynda's. She really enjoyed seeing Sean and Sarah. We went with our neighbors Anne and Luigi and their 3 yr old and 1.5 yr old. The kids did a great job taking turns ringing the bells and had the trick or treating down!

Police Invade Sean's School!

2010-10-31T20:37:00.000-07:00

One of the parents at Sean's school is a border patrol agent and every year sets up a day for the police, FBI, ATF, K-9 unit and border patrol to come and show the kids. Since they came on Thursday, and Sean usually doesn't come that day, we got to come and I tagged along to be with him to join in on the fun! They had a robot for the border patrol... The robot was a hit, it had a whole comedy skit it did with the agent. But the best was the police helicopter landing on the field!

I was talking to one of the mom's and she said her boy loves wearing his formal blazer because he thinks he's wearing a police jacket.... he even has slept in his blazer. He was really into the police coming!

Sean's School Party

2010-10-31T20:28:00.000-07:00

Here is Sean with his friends cuttin' a rug. Below is a video of Sean saying our dinner prayer, he learned this at school, and now he's our official dinner prayer guy.

Sean's class had a Halloween party. They colored masks, had fruit and cheese and crackers and said a poem to the parents and listened to a Halloween story. Great time with friends.

Sarah is sitting up!

Oh brotherly love. Thanks for sharing your trucks with Baby Sarah Sean!

Sarah gets so focused when she gets in her excersaucer to move the bones over on the wire. She is quite a driven kid, and will break down in tears if she can't achieve her goal.

the fair

2010-07-02T16:22:00.001-07:00

We had a fun time at the fair, and got to have Nana come as well. We picked the right day for crowds, and after a few fearful moments on the rides, Sean got into the groove and had a blast.

A Day at Warner Springs

2010-06-12T16:58:00.000-07:00

We spent a day and a night at Warner Springs Ranch to start off Summer. We had the kids play with chalk, went out to dinner, played tennis, swam in the hot spring pool and the kids went on pony rides. The hot spring pool was a hundred and three degrees so they don't let kids under 5 in it. Sean had a blast loading a tub with hot and cold water for himself and playing....

Garbage Truck

2010-06-05T16:17:00.001-07:00

We went to a "touch a truck" event, and low and behold.... a Garbage Truck! Sean looked like a pro in the drivers seat. You can see the blond hair peaking out above the wheel.

He's a natural...

It's amazing how you can make a stranger a friend in less than a minute.

Usually Sean gives the costume guys hugs.... but I think he's passing on this guy

Let's hope this is the first and last time he sees the back seat of a police car.

life around the house

2010-06-05T16:14:00.001-07:00

Sean gave baby Sarah some presents, and thought she would be so happy to wake up to them.

What an excited kid to know she's big enough for the swing, hurray!

Summer is here!

Portuguese Festa

2010-05-23T13:18:00.001-07:00

Point Loma had their 100th annual Portuguese Festa today. Tyler, Emma and Sean all were in the parade. Sean did a great job waving at all the people. When he got to where we were I could tell he was almost doing too good waving, he was going up to the people on the street and waving and saying hi, he was ahead of his group. When he saw Nana, Aunt Molly and I, he was done. I've never seen him so exhausted, he couldn't break out a smile after he left the parade route, and fell asleep snoring with crackers and a cheese stick in his hands....

sweet kids

2010-05-23T13:00:00.000-07:00

It seems most post these days are not of activities, but just happenings around the house. Here a few more of those. The cupcakes were a prize Sean got for staying dry for a whole day in underwear. Every day he's dry he gets to pick out a prize, and this day he chose the cupcakes.

The Yellow Cat

2010-05-03T20:25:00.000-07:00

Sean never noticed the animals on the side of the swing. Sarah though makes it her mission to try to touch them when she's in this swing. We can't keep her in the swing too long because she gets frustrated.

2010-03-06T15:28:00.000-08:00

Sean has been lucky these last couple weeks that Tylers basketball games have been close to our house. He gets so excited when Emma and Tyler play come over and play with him. Today he got a new garbage truck for finally losing the pacifier all together and he told me he wanted Emma to come over and play the new trash truck with him. Cousins are such a blessing!

Sarah was born Feb. 8th, 2010 at 9:22pm. She is 20.5" long and weighted a whopping 10lb. 5 oz.
After my water broke I went from 3cm dialated to 10cm in 45min! After 5 min. of pushing out came a beautiful baby girl!

I think their is a resemblance with our kids!

Sean decided to be stubborn and cry for his boppa for over an hour yesterday. We've wanted to get rid of it for awhile, but with molars breaking through and bad colds it's been a struggle on when to do it. Then we thought it was too soon till Sarah was born to do anything drastic. As the days went on though Sean acted like a crack addict, needing his pacifier every time he got hurt, tired, or just remembered it.

Aaron cut the tip off and gave it to him and he laughed and said it didn't work. He reacted way better than we expected. Now if he can get used to getting back to sleep at 5am without it.

We decided in the morning that since he's a big boy, it was time to put up the bunk bed. So we headed out and found a mattress and put up the bed. Sean wanted to go to bed early, and I'm sure he's up their in pure bliss not even thinking about his boppa.

We planted some carrots in October and pulled them up yesterday. We should have thinned them out, they were close together. But they are sweet and good!

Snow Day in San Diego!

Our friend Megan invited us to her neighborhood snow day in San Diego! Sean's first look at snow! Aaron and Sean went an hour straight going down the slopes. Then a break for smore's and tree climbing. We ended the great day at Megan's with a potluck of chili. What a fun day, and great people to enjoy it with!

lots of trees to climb, "Mom, Dad, I'm so High!"

Sean's pacifier is helping him deal with no nap.
mmm. Smores
Megan and Billy in perfect racing form....

Holiday Bowl Parade

We went to the Holiday Bowl Parade this morning. it was a nice and relaxing morning and to top it off went of the trolley to get downtown which excited Sean.

The star wars people will followed by a "Dark Stewie" balloon.

Jack was the grand Marshall, Jack in the Box is operated out of San Diego
This pirate ship was going around the bay which was neat to watch. We saw men climb up to the top rafters and open and close sails, as well as it let out a couple of cannon booms with smoke coming out.

The game is between Arizona and Nebraska. Nebraska brought their cheerleaders, but not their band. Here is a video of Arizona's marching band.

Christmas Day

2009-12-25T18:32:00.000-08:00

Sean woke up and barely let us get up before he was running downstairs. We showed him how the stockings were down and he emptied his stocking until he found a matchbox trash truck. He was perfectly content at this point. We showed him their was one more and took a break to take showers and make coffee. Then we reminded him he had presents under the tree. He was a little in shock to find out he had more trash trucks! He opened 2 big ones and got right to playing. When it was time to go to Aunt Molly's Sean told his he wanted to stay home. A 20 minute car ride of whining we could tell he was already tired. We had a ton of presents and I think all of the cousins got their dreams of presents met.

Sean opened all of his presents and then said he wanted to go home. He's glanced at his other toys, but he's been loading his trash trucks all day. He informed me he won't share his trash trucks. I told him today he doesn't need to share and tomorrow we'll talk about sharing. I never knew how deep his love for trash trucks went!
