Well, it has been a great month. We've just been trying to keep cool and have fun! The boys are back to school at Kids Club for now...most likely heading to a new school after Christian's birthday in September. They are having fun, and their preschool teacher, Ms. Laura, even got a class bunny for the kids!

There really isn't much else going on, we're haven't been traveling or anything... We did recently take the boys to their first Drive-In Movie in Scottsdale (Transformers) and their first Diamondbacks baseball game (sat in the bleachers!) We also got to go to our friend Patrick's birthday party and visited Peter Piper Pizza for the first time. Summer has been fun, and we're excited to see the weather cool down so that we can spend a little more time outside playing (not just in the pool).

We're hoping to go to Mexico again this October for a long weekend get-away. Luisy is already talking about the waves in the ocean and Christian is excited to watch DVD's on the long ride down there! We're also hoping to see our Abuelo and Tio soon...Who will be moving here from the Dominican Republic some time this winter... and we can't wait!!

Titi Lissa and her main man came to Phoenix for a visit earlier in August. We had a lot of fun going out to eat, swimming in the pool, and here is a picture taken at the Diamondbacks game. Grandma and Grandpa watched the boys so that we could enjoy the game (and so that they could enjoy the boys!)

While titi was here, she got the boys a few new fun things...

EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee.... Who is that masked man????? Ohhh, what do you say? He's a good guy? Oh, Luisy wearing an Optimus Prime mask? This cool mask came from Titi Lissa - and it has a voice-changer - so when you talk into it, it changes your voice to sound just like a Transformer!

Here is Christian and his blankey enjoying some time in his new swing. We'll keep it inside until winter, or the sun will deteriorate the fabric and he'll end up falling through the seat before December. Mommy and Titi Lissa had a lot of fun putting the swing together, twice. Mommy had some bolt sizes in the wrong spots, so the had to start over at one point...sure was fun!

Lock 'em up tight. Luisy and Christian cleaned out the old dog cage (that Diesel never used) and made it into a game. Christian is small enough to fit in there with a pillow and a few stuffed animals. We'll have to get him one of those hampster water-bottle thingys so he doesn't get thirsty :o)

Just in case you were wondering...Christian could open the cage from the inside...

Boy, this sure is fun... You DO have the key, right...?

Ok, enough is enough, somebody get me out...

Is that butterfly in your teeth?

Here is Christian showing off the delicious cookie that he picked out for himself on a trip to the grocery store with his daddy [before devouring it]... Wow, that sure was a pretty butterfly cookie...

Now who is that masked (cookied) man? Luisy enjoyed eating a very large cookie that had a big smile like him...Christian picked it out specially for his brother.

Well, we've always got something new going on...so here is the newest addition to the Ramirez family. Baby #3 is officially on the way and the hard-to-understand ultrasound is here too! Baby is due around February 20th, 2008.
