Lainey's model pictures

Lainey really wanted to get dressed up and make up on since Andrew was doing pictures so I was able to braid her hair in 4 braides which was so cute and all she takes is lipgloss and mascara and she looks like a runway model.

Andrew's head shots

So Andrew is headed to Flordia in April for an acting thing and these are a few of the head shot options tell me what you guys think and which one you would choose. Thanks love you all

Lucas, Vanessa, Dani, and Maethus

Robert and Cooper

Robby, and Valchino

This was our breakfast for dinner night. We couldn't go up on the roof to the kitchen up there so we pulled all our tables into the hallway and made due with that. It was a fun night we had pancakes, eggs, potatoes, and bacon it all turned out really well. Next week is fried chicken and mashed potatoes.

Andrew down the little kids slide.

There were these massive ground hog like things and babies it was cute.

Monday New Club Pics

So this Monday we went to the other club here and its three times as big it was so awesome they have like 12 pools and waterslides, tennis courts, volleyball courts, and three resteraunts. It was so much fun we spent 7 hours there, we started out at the kiddie pools which I think there was 5 of them with 7 slides that the kids went on all of them so were pretty fun and some were really slow even too slow for Lainey. Then we went up to the area with the big slides and pools and Andrew and Lainey went on the water slides and then after the slides were closed andrew had made some friends like always and he was jumping off a dock area and wrestling with them. Then to end the night we went and had dinner all with Valchino, Dani, Maethus, Rodriego, and Robbie. We had such a great day Andrew said when we were leaving that we should make that a Monday tradition that we go to that club every week it was cute.

Cooper was so cute he was watching people cup their hands and scream and so he starting yelling "Go Daddy!" LOVE IT

He had 26 pts on Friday and they won =)

Robert looks so handsome I love watching him play its the best part about being here is watching him I love it.

These are the Valentine's the Rafaela made for all of us after the kids made some for her. Her mom said that they both cried cause they thought it was so sweet that we thought of her and she wanted to do something back for them. Brazil has a Valentine's Day but its in June and it's more for only adults the kids don't do things for it so she was really taken back.

So most of you won't bet suprised to know that I made scratch brownies but I not only did that but I made dinner for Lucas, Vanessa, Robbie, and all of us. I did tuna casserole and it actually all turned really good. Its hard to cook down here cause not everything is here or the same like they don't have the same soup that we do so that was the unknown was that going to turn out right, and would the chocolate but the same for the brownies. Well all in all it was good and next week I'm making fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Not sure what dessert I will do yet but it was a fun night. =)

The last weekend

So this last weekend was our first away from Robert and I was so nervous that we wouldn't get to leave the hotel but Vanessa came over everyday and saved us from a terrible three days. Our pool was closed because of the storm that I posted the video of and we couldn't use it so again luckily we used Vanessa's and the kids kept up there pool everyday routine. Lainey is getting so brave in the water she went from not really getting in the water to practically jumping in. She will put her head under the water and hold her breath its so cool to watch that change. Cooper on the other hand hasn't changed much. He will go in the kiddie pools like at the club but thats it he wont have anything to do with the water besides that. Andrew is a water fool he will not leave the water. The kids were sooo excited to see Robert when he got home they ran down the hall after him. Monday he had the day off and we went back to the club but this time there was no one there but us and Valtinho's family it was cool we had three pools to ourselves and then kids had the whole kiddie area to themselves it was a blast. Andrew stayed in the water the whole time for like 5 hours he only got out to eat or drink. I think that going to the club would be a nice Monday tradition the kids love it and I love that they have a wonderful kiddie pool so all three of them get to enjoy the water.
So here we are Wednesday and Robert is off to do laundry and I'm playing teacher for Andrew and also preparing for a dinner that I'm making for a Vanessa, Lucas, Robbie, and us tomorrow. Wish me luck. Love you all=)

Here they are just doing the valentines. They all did a really good job.

Here is a little hi from the kids they are making Valentine's Day cards for there new friends.

Here is a storm that rolled in on Thursday it was so cool. Andrew was freaked out by it, it was so loud. AWESOME!!!

Here is a little clip I was able to post of the start of Robert's Sunday game with 30 points way to start strong =)

Andrew is such a water boy he hates it when we can't swim everyday. He loves it!!!

Robert and Andrew they have so much fun together making up different games in the water.

Lainey ready to go she is getting so brave it was on this day that she swam on her own. With her life vest but not holding anyone it was so wonderful she was so proud of her self.

Cooper in his little life vest suit. He always wants to put it on and then never goes in.

Slow days

So its been a few days since my last post and not much to report. Robert has been having two practices a day and that is so tiring on him and us really we try and go to one of them so we can get out of the Hotel it gets rather claustrophobic. So now is the first day that Robert is out of town and its just me with the kids. Today has been fun though we made Valentines for everyone here and the kids had a blast I will post a pic and video hopefully its been hard I can't post videos they are too long. I think I will try and put together all the videos into one and at Coopers birthday I can show them all. SO then we went upstairs to swim and its closed of all days to clean the picked today. Andrew is really disapointed and the kids are bored but we are trying. Luckily Vanessa is going to pick us up tonight and we are going to a swap meet that is a cloths one so purses, shoes, etc stuff for girls so that should be fun for us to get out. Any way I will write more later and let you all know abou the swap meet and how that goes. Love you all
