Ethan and Isabeli

volta p/ vegas/back in vegas

Depois de passarmos uma semana maravilhosa na California, estamos de volta em Vegas. Fomos, eu e Ethan, domingo(18/07) e ficamos na casa dos meus sogros. Nos divertimos muito mesmo!!!! Tanta coisa e gente p/ ver e tao pouco tempo. Pelo menos fui a praia (Malibu e Montecito)... e peguei uma corzinha. Ethan tb ta preto!!! Ethan pode brincar com a amiguinha de infancia, Sammy. Eles sentem muito a falta um do outro. Tambem lavei o carro que estava podre. Vivemos numa escassez de agua aqui que nao e brincadeira...entao lavagem de carro e bem dizer proibida. Fazer o que? Resolvi lavar eu mesma...ficou um brinco!! e eu pude fazer um exerciciozinho. Tb ajudei minha sogra a lixar e pintar umas portas...p/ novo design da casa. A casa dela depois de pronta vai ficar um arraso!! Ethan amou poder estar la com eles e pular no trampolin com Julia ... ficar todo molhado brincando de water ballons. Lola, a gatinha da Julia teve filhotinhos, tinhamos saido p/ ir a praia na hora, mas os pais dela gravaram tudo p/ nos. Tambem como ja havia postado antes, comemoramos nossos aniversario no sabado. Foi massa! Amei estar com amigos e familia no meu dia. Gayle fez um jantar maravilhoso p/ nos. Ganhei meu colar da Tiffany's do maridao (dentre muitas outras coisas.....MUITAS MESMO...parecia mais natal!) vcs vao poder ver nas fotos...em BIRTHDAY PARTY. beijoes.


After a wonderful week in California, we are back in Vegas. Ethan and I left sunday (july 18th) and stayed at my in-laws. We had tons of fun!!! So much to do and so many to see in so little time...At least I went to the beach (Malibu and Montecito)...and got a tan. Ethan is also very dark! He could spend time with Sammy (his little frind since baby). They miss each other so much! I also washed the car that was just gross. We can't really do it in Vegas coz of the drought. So I decided to do it there...Plus I could exercise a bit by doing it. hehe I also helped Gayle(my mother-in-law) to sand the doors of the house. She wanted it very white. The house is gonna look so awesome after it's done... Ethan loved being there with them and jump with Julia on the trampolin...get all wet playing "watter ballons". Lolla, Julia's cat, gave birth to 4 very cute kitties. We had just left to go to the beach in Santa Barbara, but Murray(my father-in-law) recorded everything for us. Like I had posted before, saturday we celebrated our birthdays. John's and mine. It was great! I loved being able to celebrate with people I really care about. Gayle, made an excellent dinner for us. I got my tiffany's neckless (and so many other things...it looked like x-mas...:) ) you can see it on the pictures. in the album BIRTHDAY PARTY...

SB zoo

Ontem fomos ao zoologico pela primeira vez...em SB. Coisa mais linda! Tio Jon dele conseguiu convites p/ gente. Tava tendo um churrasco da empresa dele la...foi muito legal! Ethan estava todo feliz! Jon fazia todas as vontades dele...ai ja viu ne? Ele ja nao queria mais largar do coitado. Cynthia, que e agora esposa dele (casaram-se a pouco no Brasil), foi tb. Ela e uma de minhas melhores amigas. Fomos nos 4. Passamos o dia inteiro em SB com eles. Fazia tempo que nao passava tempo por la...amo SB. O dia comecou feio, mas acabou ficando lindissimo...super calor! Chegamos em casa 10:30 da noite...e Ethan nem queria vir, imagine! as fotos estao no album "Santa Barbara Zoo"


Yesterday we went to the zoo for the very first time...in SB. BEAUTIFUL!! Uncle Jon got us invitatios. His company was having a barbecue there...it was so much fun! Ethan was so happy! Jon did everything he wanted...can you imagine? Now he is his favorite uncle! Cynthia, who is Jon's wife and one of my best friends (Jon and Cynthia just got married in Brazil), was there also. It was the four of us. Ethan and I spent the whole day in SB. Miss SB...terribly. Such cool place! The day started ugly but became amazing...Hot too! We got home around 10:30 pm...Ethan didn't even wanna come... The pictures are in the album "SB zoo"

Malibu

Ontem fomos p/ Malibu!!! Foi tao legal...nos divertimos muito. Eu, Ethan, Jennifer, Lesley, Julia e Cynthia. A praia estava lotada de gente...o que me espantou um pouco pois era terca-feira! Chegamos por volta de meio dia e ficamos por umas 2 horas. O sol estava quente e o dia lindo! Mas a brisa fria do mar nao deixava que ficasse insuportavel...estava "actually" bastante agradavel. Qdo estavamos saindo, notamos que as sirenes dos carros do salva-vidas(que estao por toda parte!) comecaram a tocar e um amontoado de gente se formou numa area da praia...tinha alguem se afogando! Eles sao rapidos..logo tinha ate barco dos salva vidas por la. Depois da praia fomos p/ cidade de malibu achar algo p/ comer...estavamos famintos. Voltaremos la...praia e comigo mesmo!:)


Yesterday we went to Malibu!!! It was great...we had a blast! It was me, Ethan, Jennifer, Lesley, Julia and Cynthia. The beach was full of people, which got me thinking...don't people work around here? It was a tuesday for god's sakes!! We got there around noon and stayed for about 2 hours. The sun was very hot and the day was amazingly beautiful and we had such nice breeze coming from the ocean that made everything just perfect. When we were leaving we noticed the sirens coming from the lifeguards trucks and realized that someone was drowning. There were lots of people on the shore watching and lifeguards everywhere...there was even a lifeguard boat around...gosh...can't believe how fast they are! From the beach we went to the city to get something to eat. We were starving!

Park

Na Segunda-feira depois de passar 2 horas lavando o carro do John...tentando tirar os besouros que estavam literalmente grudados na pintura(por causa de estrada!), fui com Ethan encontrar minha amiga Julie and Sammy. Passamos no Burger King e compramos "almoco" e fomos comer no park. Depois as criancas puderam brincar um pouco e eu tirei umas fotos p/ vcs. Eles estavam tao felizes de poder brincar juntos de novo. Se conhecem desde que tinham 3 semanas de nascidos...:) AH! A noite descobri que Ethan tem uma amigo imaginario...ou sera um "fantasminha"? o nome e "Peyton"(nao tenho ideia onde ele encontrou esse nome), e uma menina... ele "conversa e brinca" muito com ela... maior resenha!


Last monday, after washing John's car for about 2 hours...trying to get all the little bugs off the paint (from the road!), I went to see my friend Julie and her daughter and Ethan's friend, Sammy. We stopped at burger king to get "lunch" and went to eat at the park . After eating the kids played a bit and I got to take some pictures. They were so happy to play together again...we all know each other since they were about 3 weeks old(going to the mommy and me classes) OH! At night I found out that Ethan has an imaginary friend...The name is Peyton(have no idea where he found the name!)...He "talks and plays" a lot with her...hillarious!

L.A. Openning

Ethan e eu seguimos os pais do John ate Camarillo. Vamos ficar por aqui ate semana que vem. Rever os amigos, ir p/ praia e ficar com a familia paterna um pouco. A tarde fui com Lesley p/ estreia da mostra de artes na galeria municipal de Los Angeles. Foi muito legal. Depois coloco mais fotos.


Ethan and I followed John's parents until Camarillo. We are gonna stay for the whole week... Get to see our friends, go to the beach and spend some time with the family. In the afternoon I went with Lesley to the L.A. municipal gallery to check out her work. Great picture Les! I'll be posting pictures later.

A levamos p/ ver o strip, onde estao os hoteis, visitamos o mundo do M&M, mundo da Coca-Cola, alguns hoteis e ate que o calor nao ta tao insuportavel nos ultimos dias.

Aniversarios!/Birthdays

Meu aniversario(24/07) e do John(27/07) ja e em 2 semanas...como o tempo voa! Ja que Ethan esta maiorzinho, vamos ver se damos uma saidinha e comemoramos fora! To louca p/ ir a uma "brazilian night" muito legal que tem em SB, mas parece que so e dia de segunda... ai nos vamos ter que achar outra coisa p/ fazer! :( me deixaria um pouco triste, mas fazer o que, tenho que me concientizar que nao estou no Brasil. P/ dia do meu bebezao, que cai numa terca, queriamos passar a noite em um hotel, p/ podermos levar Ethan na piscina pela manha, mas vamos ver, normalmente as tarifas caem nos dias de semana...vamos cruzar os dedos!E isso... Essa foto foi tirada qdo estava gravida de Ethan, 2 meses.(by Lesley Elkins)beijos...


My birthday (07/24) and John's birthday(07/27) are aproching...only 2 weeks! Getting older!! I actually don't mind it, feels good to look back and see how much fun I had throughout the years. Since Ethan is a bit older, we are gonna try going out at night. I am dying to go to the "brazilian night" in SB, but it seems that they are on monday nights now...so we may have to find st else to do. :( would make me kind of sad, but I guess I will have to accept I am not in Brazil...and simply enjoy the night. My bebe is there...so who really cares! For my bebe's day I was thinking about spending the night at a hotel on the strip so we could take Ethan to enjoy the pool the next day, but we are just gonna have to wait and see how the prices are for that day. This picture was taken when I was 2 months pregnant of Ethan. (by Lesley Elkins).
