If you happened to notice, to the right of this post is a new item about “Family Twitts”. We decided to join “Twitter” just for something fun and to add a daily “burp” to the page. Enjoy!

Everything Espinoza family.
Green Thumb
Who would have thunk my hubby has a bit of farmer in him!?! He has tomatoes, chilies, peppers. and cilantro growing…unfortunately the “hard to please” peas haven’t sprouted yet!
Happy Resurrection Sunday
It’s Resurrection Sunday and unfortunately it’s raining outside. Isabel will have to wear a sweater again this year with her new Easter dress (so glad that I purchased one). Enjoy!
Before heading out to church this morning, I took a few quick shots of Isabel with her Easter basket. Nothing overwhelming; just a bit of candy and a few little toys. We didn’t want to take the focus off the real reason for the holiday! Now it’s off to church…
After we got back home from church and eating out for lunch. I realized that Isabel had the same message we, adults had in church. Both messages were about “transformation” or “God’s butterfly stories” and how the power of Jesus can transform our lives. Awesome!

Some outdoor activities
Around here we have been patiently waiting for spring to “feel” like it’s actually here and today was the first day! So we headed outside to do some fun activities out-of-doors! Enjoy!
Silly girl helping Daddy wash the truck.
Getting all the nooks and crannies!
Onto finger painting…
Paint plate looks cool.
We each did a hand print…or two…or three…
Planting seeds
This morning we gathered around the dining table and did a little seed planting. Isabel planted her own flower garden with a Vinca mix and Teddy Bear Sunflowers. While Gino planted veggies; green peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno’s and sweet pea’s. Enjoy!
Setting the seeds out…so tiny you almost miss them!
Damp fingers make for easier seed pick up!

Three days later Isabel had little shoots pushing up;
with only the teddy bear sunflowers showing!

Little Pizza Maker
Tonight we had homemade pizza from the chef kitchen of Isabel! Yum!

Spreading the sauce.
Adding cheese and pepperoni.
The finished little pizza’s!
The second pizza was ham and pineapple.
She had so much fun!
Beads
When we were in Utah, Isabel and her cousin Bryndee played with Pop-it beads that Bryndee has and Isabel enjoyed them. So after returning home, I kept my eyes open for them and we finally found them! We have been making all kinds of jewelry creations since!
Isabel showing off some of our creations.
All the jewelry we made this day…rings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Isabel loves making all kinds of creation with these beads,
she plays with them almost every day!
Updates!
Sorry for the lack in postings but I got a new camera, computer, and a photo program and I just learned how to downsize the photos with the new program just the other day. Which means I’ll be back to blogging! So make sure you check back (as in months) for updates…I have 3 months of blogging catch-up to do! See ya…
