This isn't a great picture and you can't see very well, but the other morning we work up to Diya's face looking like this:

MOSQUITOES! They are BAD this year! We've had more rain this August than we have had in 15 years! All that extra rain means there are extra mosquito breeding grounds -ugh! Dengue fever is bad this year! According to the newspaper, this time last year there were 4 reported cases of Dengue, but this year there are 674! These mosquitoes are tricky! Diya sleeps with a mosquito net, but one tricky mosquito hid in her pack-n-play under the middle level of the bed and bit her... so sad :( Please lift us us and pr that none of us get Dengue fever!!!

Fun Times at the Mall :)

When we have a free night, or free time on the weekends, we usually go to the mall (especially during hot and rainy seasons). So, we usually have quite a few "mall pictures." Here is that HUGE red chair again :) haha! We went to the mall to eat dinner the other night and Aashini insisted on wearing her crown, so we figured, why not? We get stares no matter what we do :) haha! She kept it on the whole time we were there - even while eating at McDonald's :)

Here is the princess on her throne :)

We thought we'd see how Diya did on this fun mirror thing. Diya loved it!

When Aashini was a little over a year we put her on this same thing and she was terrified! She's still terrified of it and freaks out if we try to put her on it :)

She loves to look at herself in the mirror though (while standing on the ground) :) haha!

Funny girls :)

Coloring!

Aashini has been coloring a lot lately. This week at school, Aashini has a coloring competition. She's been excited about it and has been practicing :)

Here she is working on some of her homework for school (yes, my 2 year old has homework :)). I love her cute little hand :)

Here she is, proud of her artwork :)

Fun Friends :)

About a week ago (or has it been two weeks? I'm so behind!) some friends came in town :) We met up with them at the mall and the kiddos played and hung out :) We had to get a chair picture :)

Every time people come in town, they want to go to Hard Rock Cafe, so that's where we went :)

These chairs totally crack me up - they're even funnier when there are kiddos sitting in them :) haha!

Friends are fun! ;)

8 Months!

Diya is 8 months old!!! I can't believe it! Here's her "dog picture" :)

For fun, here are the girls both at 8 months with Aashini's bear :)

Aashini always wants in on the picture taking. She just doesn't understand why we're taking Diya's and not hers :) She also doesn't understand why we're using her bear (and why we take her bear's dress off) :) Anyway, after we take Diya's pictures, we always have to take some pictures with Aashini too. Here's Aashini telling Diya what to do ("look at the camera Diya and smile!").

Fun :) They crack me up. Diya LOVES to hang out with Aashini. When Aashini is it at school, Diya is always looking for her :)

I love this :) Aashini always wants to hug Diya :) So cute :)

I can't believe how big my girls are!! :) So fun!

Funny Girls :)

I love my girls :) haha! They crack me up on a daily basis! We give the girls a bath in this pink bucket tub thing. We tried putting them both in at the same time the other day :) haha! It's a very small tub, but it was so cute :)

They loved it and had a lot of fun :)

These next two pictures aren't very good, but Diya has been making some hilarious faces lately :) haha! Here is one of them :)

... and another one :) haha!

I think Aashini is cute :) - I know, I'm biased :)

She's a goofball :) I love my girls :)
