Family Dance Night with HopeKid

First Family Dance Night

Courtesy by: HopeKids of Arizona

What a fun night with my family at the First Family Dance Night with the HopeKids family. I think my children just had a fantastic time dancing with me and their dad. I was surprised that my boy has been very calm the whole time on the dance floor. Occasionally, he would go down on the floor, but when I asked him to get up, he follows directions without yelling at me :-). My girls on the other hand, had a blast! My eldest daughter was tired after two hours of dancing, and she made her dad danced a lot with her. My youngest one she was doing what the two years old was doing like bending and laying on the floor ha!

Well, I would like to extend my gratitude to HopeKids Arizona for all you do for all of us. Thank you for giving us the great opportunity to experience the extraordinary events that we would never experienced without you. You are such a blessing to my family! Thank you and God bless more and more!

HopeWalk 2012

It was a beautiful morning to support HopeWalk 2012.

It was a fulfilling and very rewarding experience plus we had fun!

I'd like to thank Bridget and her team for all they do for us... thanks a lot!

 I invited my friend Rose to join us to the walk. Since I have three kids I can't see my self walking with them without anyone with me. For one thing my boy takes off easily ( my only problem). If he behave like my little girl I think I can handle three of them. But thank God Rose rescued me.

 My kids and I before the walk starts!

 They had fun playing in the bouncer

 ...and Kathlyn curiousity ended with few photos with all the mascot at the event.

 The walk started! Yes, It felt so good!

 Just love this photo

 ...got hope?

 my little girl sleeps the entire walk.

and at the finish line there were few Rattlers Players the waited for us as well as Ms. Az 2011.

First Movie: Kung Fu Panda 2

Kung Fu Panda 2 was an awesome movie!

As I mention in my previous post... today was our first time to watch a movie in the theater after five years. It wouldn't be happening without the HopeKids of Phoenix.  So I would like thank Hope for their program and generosity.

Anyways, when we got to the theater door 7 ( I just writing the door number just for the record for my kids to remember someday) it was showing the sneak peek for Happy Feet 2. Of course my kids were excited since they have been watching the first movie of Happy Feet so they already know it. Okay, so they were so calm. When the movie started Gerald was really interested and sat for about fifteen minutes. While my daughter was fascinated about the colorful and big screen :D. Anyway, a little while later GJ started saying, "pooppyyyy" so I took him to the restroom. That is his one way of saying I wanna go out or do something else. But he did use the toilet though. On the way back to the movie room, I got them a kids combo snacks. Some of the popcorn dropped on the floor and GJ started picking them us. I told him that it was dirty already, but he still want those popcorn and when he waved his hands upward something happened to his left eye and he scratched it ( until now it still painful). Probably salt or something got into his eye.

So , we went back in the movie room and he was doing alright. Kathlyn (2 years old) on the other hand was enjoying the movie (thumbs up for her). While GJ started being fussy again, so I took him to the lobby and we stayed there for 40 minutes and I got to chat with other hope moms. Gerald was happy running back in forth in the hallway.

Anyway, I saw part of it, but I can tell you that this movie was a good one! I should let Gj watch the first movie and introduce him  to panda before we watch it. Well, that was a good start though. Cars 2 he might do well on that because he already watched the first DVD gazillion times. If it wasn't to our Nurse Gigi who gave him that movie I wouldn't know that there is a movie like that :-). Thanks to Nurse Gigi for that!

Thanks a lot to HopeKids again for another great adventure! More power!

Harkins Theater in Arizona Mills, Tempe

Cinema: For the first time in Five YEARS

Today, we are going to watch a movie in the theater courtesy by Hopekids. Gushhh it has been awhile since my husband and I watched a movie together. I told him yesterday that we missed a lot of movies and we don't even know where the entrance and exit of the theater hahahaha. Anyway, my heart boy is five years old now and he likes to watch some movies on DVDs, so today we are taking both of my kids to a movie theater. I just don't know how my boy will react since this is gonna be his first time to be in the movie theater. I know my daughter will do well, since she is a trill seeker! We are going to watch Kung Fu Panda 2.

Thanks to HopeKids for the great opportunity to take my kids to the movie.

HopeKids event: Jumpstreet

We had a great time at the Jumpstreet indoor trampoline park courtesy by Hopekids. When I signed for this event I didn't even know if my kids will love it since Gerald Jay is a little bit cautious on everything and I thought that he would not enjoy it. But I said, I would like to try.

Well, here it is...they are having a lot of fun jumping! At first GJ will not stand on the trampoline but when he figured out that it was fun to bounce ... he never stop bouncing for almost two hours. When we got home they were so tired that they fell asleep quickly.
Again, I would like to thank the HOPEKIDS program for the great opportunity to try new adventure for my kids that I would never ever think that we would do for our selves. Thank you very much Hopekids!
