New Hair Cuts

The kids got new haircuts today (no I didn't do it myself). I think it might be a little too short but the beauty of their hair is both have hair that grows super fast so it will grow out by next week. Nathan is yelling some Power Ranger chant in this picture. "Mystic Force!"

Kern County Fair

Aunt Liz, Allison, and Nathan at the Kern County Fair on Saturday, September 23, 2005. We were impressed with Allison and her willingness to ride all of the rides - I think she just wants to be like her big brother. We all had a great time. Nathan said his favorite ride was the "Choo-choo train".

Nathan's first Soccer practice

Nathan started "Little Tot Soccer" on Saturday, September 16. He did a great job stopping the ball. Included on the sidelines cheering him on were sister, Allison, both set of grandparents, and Nina Liz all the way from LA.

Check out these wheels!

Nathan and his cousin, Richard, taking the jeep out for a spin around the backyard.

Cruz Family at the Brews in the Village 2006

Here we are at the "Brews in the Village 2006" (don't we look cool in our shades). We had a great time - this was Vincent's first Brews experience and apparently he was wasted in Margaritaville. We danced to the sounds of Mento Buru at which time my mom exclaimed how she was bringing back the Luau next year (bigger and better). Of course the morning after she tried to retrack her statement but I'm holding her to it. See you all at Luau 2007!!!

Just a relaxing Sunday on the couch with our favorite blanket.

Allison's first day in the toddler class. No more high chairs, papas, cribs, or bottles. The teachers said she did great. Our little baby is growing up.

Nathan and dad at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. We went for a wedding and had a great time. We did end up lost every time we left the hotel (darn that mapquest) - but we still had fun. After my last wedding incident (I only know because people keep reminding me) I was on my best behavior, but I can't say the same for Mike and my sister, Jen. Cheap tequila does not equal good times.

Water Day at school. His teacher Ms. Diana emailed me this picture. He is eating snowcones that the kids made.
