Almeida Adventures: Our April & May Adventures, 2015

Babysitting Charlie & Lizzy–April 2015

We only got to babysit for a very short weekend, hence the lack of photos!! And you’ll notice who the “ham” is… Lizzy of course. I do not have one picture of Charlie… how did that happen??? Between going to games, riding bikes/scooters, going to the park, pizza night, shopping, drawing, & games…the weekend flew by and it was over in a flash!

This was a game that we came up with and we spent hours playing it, the kids loved it. Each person had a turn to choose what we all had to draw. In this particular case it was Papa sitting on a stool. It was quite comical as you can see. Click on the photo to enlarge them and you can see how bad mine is! We needed Uncle Jimmy to play since he is the artist in the family!!

Lizzy is showing off a headband I made for her that has a kitty on it; she LOVES animals.

We went to Toys r Us and let the kids pick out what they wanted. Charlie picked Lego’s of course and Lizzy picked a puppy of course.

Wine Passport Weekend, El Dorado Hills
April 2015
The Wong’s stayed with us for a few days and we had a blast. Norm & Pat joined us for cocktails one night… we are all long time friends.

The wine country in El Dorado is beautiful to say the least and we hit a perfect weekend. We went wine tasting both Saturday & Sunday.

I am always looking for the resident dogs and I always find them. I am an animal lover and these beautiful dogs completed the weekend for me.

I’m guilty… I just had to have two!

One of these days I’m going to get one of these wine holders, they are so cute!! It will be a conversation piece for our bar.

Lizzy’s 7th Birthday – May 2015
Happy Birthday to you LizzyB

Can this cake get any cuter?!?!?!? Jessica is so talented and all her creations taste fantastic!!

All the kids took a cooking class at Cucina Bambini in Willow Glen. They prepared their food, cooked it, and ate it… life is good. Needless to say they had a blast making their own creations.
