Tarta de Manzana Argentina
This was my favorite cake growing up. It is a mix between cake an a tart. I used to beg my mom to make it weekly. Well, she didn't make it weekly. You all know my mom is not into sweets. She focuses more on savory dishes. She always taught us to eat healthy and made everything from scratch. But on special occasion, we'd get this apple cake. It's amazing!

2nd Congressional Congress
Isn't she adorable? Maddie is LOVING her history class. She is in an Honors History Class and the teacher is very hands on and has such great projects for the kids. A few weeks ago the kids had to dress up and participated in the continental congress. They each had parts to memorize and naturally, Maddie got into it! She is my little actress!
Downey High Waterpolo
Wesley has had an amzing season! He has really grown to immensely love the sport. He has really developed his skills and endurance. The coaches work these kids so hard! Some days he is in the water 4-5 hours! I know, it's crazy! Wesley played both on JV and Frosh-Soph. He is becoming more aggressive in the water and has quite an arm. He has scored several goals and plays with a group of really great kids.
I have been so impressed with the program at Downey. They run a tight ship and the kids work so well together. They have such comraderie between them and it shows. Last week was their last game. Unfortunately, they lost, so they will not be heading to CIF. Varsity is doing well and qualified for CIF. The pictures are from the Downey/Warren game, which is the rival high school here in Downey. Warren plays very dirty and even punched one of our players. I was so impressed that our team stayed calm and stayed out of trouble. It was a fabulous victory for DHS that night. I don't usually scream at the games, but I almost lost my voice that night.
First Day of School
Aren't they cute? I love those two! Carina started third grade and Zach started 6th grade. I can hardly beielve he's in middle school! I forgot pictures of Maddie and Wes. There will be other pictures coming up soon.
