Pool-in

She's got the right idea! Who needs "pool-side" when you can have "pool-in?"

*She brought her own chair and everything.

Beach Baby

CiBaby has only been to the beach two times in her life...today

and the day she became a U.S. Citizen in Honolulu, HI

She had a much better time today.*


*She hated everything about the beach in HI...the wind, the sand, and the water. Grant it she was on overload at the time...

Before and...now!

As many of you know, or have heard, we have been working on our basement for a very. long. time. It started from just cinder block foundation walls and has progressed from there. But now, yes finally, it is coming to an end!

Before...(of course I forgot to take pics with just cinder and studs, oh well!)

Mid-way...

NOW!!!

What do you think???

Happy 3rd Birthday, CiBaby!!!

CiBaby's 3rd birthday started off with frosting clean-up.

Followed by "Rainbow" fingernails by Big Sister...


Then came her party with her little buddies. It was suppose to be a "Splash" party, but notice the sweater in the picture below...a little too chilly for splashin' around. Regardless, the kids seemed to have a great time. We drained the pool of water and filled it with balls instead!

Pizza for dinner...

Tutu and playtime for dessert...

Then the Birthday Princess headed off to bed!

It was a great 3rd birthday for our little princess. I can't believe how much she's changed in a year!!!

Stay tuned...

We are experiencing technical difficulties at the CzaMama house...our internet went out 6/30 and will not be reestablished until 7/11.

Just to note, CiBaby is now the big 3 and loving all of the birthday attention.

And as a pre-holiday wish...we wish you all a very happy and safe 4th of July! Celebrate in the fact that we are free, but never forget what others before you did to get us there and currently do to keep us here.
