life according to the diaz's: Enjoying time off!

Juan, Elena, and I have been enjoying our time off since school let out for me a week ago and Juan last Friday. It has been a nice little break for a bit until summer school starts on Monday. I am excited to work summer school again this year so Elena can get out with her friends a few days a week while Juan and I are at school. Juan and I have been noticing how much Elena is learning when she is with her friends, so deciding to work for the month of June was a good decision for both Juan and I. And...as I have mentioned before, I hope she starts learning to eat more foods if she sees the other kids eat too. We had a banana/blueberry/raspberry smoothie yesterday after I attempted to give E the fruits by themselves first. She wasn't having any of it! However, she thoroughly enjoyed the smoothie!! (I did too) :)
Elena got to spend some time with her "gackaw" and "gramma" over this past weekend. I had gramma send me some pictures of her time with them. Elena really didn't want to come back home...I don't blame her...she was SPOILED the whole time!! My mom even put up a tent in the living room for Elena to play in...I can't wait to play in it too...looked so much fun! When my mom and dad brought Elena back home, we had a nice BBQ lunch together and when it was time for my parents to leave, Elena ran out into the driveway with them and wanted to get back into my dad's truck to go with them. It was just too funny. Just another reason I'm glad we're doing summer school in June...Elena can still spend Thursday and Friday alone with her grandparents.
Enjoy the pictures below! Nothing else too crazy has been happening since school let out...we are just being lazy for a few days before the craziness of summer reality starts! We plan to enjoy every second!

Enjoying some morning TV with Homer

She was enjoying a quick snack before a bath...haha

Homer wanted a bite too

Taking a break from emptying her cabinets

Thunderstorms moving in...it was really neat to watch!

This is her doll named Elena...seriously, that was the name on the box. She was making her pretty.

Kisses.

Curly hair

I couldn't get her to turn around and this is the longest she's left something on her head in awhile...it's the most adorable hat...hoping to catch her in it another day!!
