What A Party!

WOW, what a weekend we had. Uncle David n Aunt Delia's wedding was really nice! There were lots of people in the church to see us. I had never even been in a wedding...that was really interesting. Just sitting there and being quiet was something else.Here's a picture of the Fernandez men getting ready for the big day!!!! Don't we look handsome?

Here's a of me entering with my partner. The one of the whole party is above. We had to enter arm in arm....the younger group had no problem with that...BUT...the older kids were making all kinds of faces. My Mom set them straight. Let me tell you, they all did their part and looked really great.




Of course, my biggest fan (aka Mom) had taken a dozen or so picture before we even left the house. I tell ya, there isn't another kid around who has as many picture of themselves as I do. But then again, it was a special day so I guess it's okay. Thanks, Mom.

This was our family picture....are we the greatest or what??? I love ya, Mom and Dad!

Then I couldn't close without putting a pic of my cousin Ileana and I.

Then came time for the reception(that's another word for PARTY). It was to die for...I think I danced all night long. The DJ played all the really cool music I like...Cupid Shuffle, Thriller...you know the rest. Everyone was complaining about their sore feet...NOT ME...I took my Crocs (they might've been green...not quite a match, but sure felt good) and changed half way through the party. Let me tell you a tux and Crocs really go well together. Checkout the pic to the left...that's me out there dancing up a storm. I rocked!!

This was a wonderful weekend. Can you believe I even slept in on Sunday. I was sooooooooooo tired. But, all good things must come to an end and today I had to return to school.

See ya again real soon....have homework to finish...hope you liked the pictures I had to share.

PS: I've been doing really good in school...no red check marks last week. I might just get off restriction one day real soon. This no TV, no Legos things is no fun.

To Think All It Took Was A Ball!

Hi, it's me again!

Don't know if I ever mentioned I was losing one of my front teeth. This all started during summer camp when I bumped into another kid's head. I was just minding my own business...BUT not watching where I was going. It looked so funny Uncle Steven called me Dylly McPhee. My Mom took me to the dentist and they said it would come out in due time. She said you can't rush a good thing...the longer your baby teeth stay in, the better the new teeth will be. So all this time I've been looking funny if you know what I mean.

Today we were at Wally Mart...I was just being myself (again) bouncing a "cookie monster" ball and yep, you got it...it hit me in the mouth and out popped my tooth. Now I know how Ileana felt so many years ago. You don't know how many times my parents tried to get that tooth to come out. They pulled on it, threatened to tie it to the door knob and other fun things. Everyone gave us their own remedy for getting it to come loose. But none of them worked and some we really didn't want to try.

To think all we needed was a rubber ball. Here is a picture of me...toothless! The only good thing is the new tooth is already knocking on the door. That will limit my toothless time. I'm in my Uncle David's wedding next weekend and all I needed was to be toothless while wearing my first tux. I really wanted to look cool...oh well, that's life. (I'll post pics of the event next weekend.) I tell my Mom I won't give my usual broad smile for the group pictures. I want to look somewhat normal.

Enough for today....have a great week. I'm already dreading tomorrow. I plan to stay quiet all day so they won't even know I lost my tooth. For sure the new teacher will be very happy.

Three Weeks Down and Counting!

Hey everyone...I bet you've missed me haven't you? Admit it....I know you have!

School is going great. Third grade is pretty cool after all. I've been doing good. We received our progress report on Friday and I had nothing lower than an 87...pretty good for 3 weeks I think. We have plenty of homework everyday, but I'm surviving.

The sad part is that we lost our teacher. You know, the one I also had last year. She had a great opportunity to move up the ladder and she took it. We'll miss her... but we'll still see her in our school all the time...we wish her well! Way to go Mrs. Polanco-Rosas...you rock!

Will keep you posted as time goes by. See ya soon!

Hello Everyone.

Where has the time gone!!! I had a great summer, hope you did too. I learned alot of new things.... like surfing and swimming in a large pool (without my safety vest). You know my mom, I had to wear the vest or I would sink to the bottom of the pool. I managed to get all that taken care of. Then to finish off my summer we took a trip to the coast to enjoy a few days at the beach. It was the greatest!!!

But now it's back to SCHOOL!!!! I have the same teacher I had last year. Okay now, before you start thinking I didn't pass, let me tell you I did, it's just that my teacher moved up to teach the 3rd grade. Isn't that the greatest? Do you think she's thrilled to have me in her class again???

I've already been busy learning new things. Lots to learn in this grade you know......like multiplication, division, handwriting...and the list goes on and on. My mom says, "the 3rd grade is a very important grade... you have to take this big test in the spring and if you don't pass... you'll have to stay in 3rd grade" so I will work really hard this year to make sure I pass.

Needless to say, I've had a ruff start staying on task - but I am sure I will get better...after all it's only the 3rd week of school.....still have lots of bad habits from the summer.

Let's keep in touch!!!
