Best Friends & Sisters

These two have so much fun together.

They have no idea yet how lucky they are to have eachother.

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland on Tuesday afternoon after Cami's nap.  It was the first time we've gone in the afternoon and it was crowded but the lines were quick on the rides we go on.  I can't wait for more than 15 minutes with Cami.  I LOVE having Disney passes.  It makes for such a fun monthly activity and we can stay for as long as we want without feeling any pressure to get on as many rides as possible.  Plus, each time we discover new things and Grace loves going with her friends.  She is getting more adventurous and rode the Astro Orbitor for the first time with my friend Amy and her buddy Nola.  Cami is fearless on the rides and loves seeing all the characters.  When we were leaving Minnie AND Mickey came out right in front of us so we were second in line to see them.  Great way to end a super day!!

PS - Nana this post is for you.  I vow to update my blog more often!! :)

I'm a Blog Slacker

I have been quite the blog slacker this month but it's been for many good reasons.  I have finally hit that turning point where taking care of Cami has become so much easier.  I remember it with Grace and it happened at about 14 months.  The girls are playing great together and I've had more TIME.  Sooooo, I've organized the hec out of our house; I was inspired by an organization blog.  From the girls room, to all toys, to linen closets, and even under our bed!  It's the best feeling and the kitchen is half way done too.  I've also cleaned-up our backyard and added lots of new flowers. We've been replacing artwork downstairs and moving things around so our house has had a major facelift.  I've been really good about working out or running every other day since Christmas and the cookie pounds are officially coming off!  I WILL be 'bikini ready' by Spring.  We've been spending lots of time outside this month, enjoying the nice weather.  Cami will be 16 months tomorrow so I'll do a post about the girls next :)

Oh, and I'm so excited about a little something new I learned about from my 'eco-friendly' friend Delilah who owns a great store, The Road Less Traveled, in Santa Ana.  I'm starting to participate in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.  Each week I will get a crate of fresh veggies and fruit. I'm so excited.  I tried some samplings from her box, and it was AMAZING.....so much better than grocery store food.  It's picked the SAME day its delievered.  How great is that?!

Cami's Words @ 15 mths

Cami is starting to talk!  Mostly it's mumbo jumbo but she has mastered a few words:

Mama
Dada
Nana
Papa
Ba ba (milk)
Wa wa (water)
Bye Bye
Hi
Night Night
Night Night Da (she said this only once, last weekend)
Bu oooo (Bubaloo = Rosco's nickname)

Disneyland & other Stuff

I took the girls to Disneyland on Tuesday.  It was Cami's first time...and my first time taking both.  I anticipated it to be much harder.  The girls were both very good and it helped that we met a friend there.  Parking in the Mickey & Friends structure really is convenient. We rode Dumbo, teacups twice, small world, winnie, the carousel and Grace got a face paint.  We got to the boat on Pirates and then Grace wimped out.  She rode it once about a year ago and was totally scared.  I thought she'd do it with her friend Nola, but no such luck.  Thank god there was no line.  Cami liked it all; she's my adventurous one.

We've been loving this warm weather in January....spending lots of time playing in the backyard and with friends on the street.  Tonight Grace has a sleepover with Grandma & Papa, and tomorrow Nana is watching the girls so we can go to dinner & a movie.  It's going to be a fun weekend :)

Happy New Year, Welcome 2012

Happy New Year!!!!

It was a wonderful Christmas holiday at the Porco home this year.  We had so many fun celebrations with friends, family and neighbors, that I had no time to blog :)  The girls thoroughly enjoyed all the Xmas & New Years activity and now we are prepping to go back to school tomorrow as our fun vacation comes to a close.  I turned 36 over the holiday and one of the highlights was a dinner celebration at Benihana that Grace got to partake in because 'she's a big girl now'.  She loooooved the teppan experience and totally go into it!  Mike and I are really looking forward to an exciting year of fun, adventure, and growth with these two little blessings.....one of which turned 15 months today!!!
