Birthday Boy- Part 2

Our baby turned 2 and we continued the celebration on the weekend with Abuelita, Abuelito, Danny and Christina. It was a great time.

Mommy and Daddy with our birthday boy. How is he already two!?

He knew exactly how to put that fire out!

Cake face. : )

He has mastered the fork...which came in handy this day.

Matthias LOVES Thomas trains and Tia Christina (Kiki) gave him two new engines. Luke admired them as well.

He loves his new bike. Thanks to his abuelos. There will be LOTS of races on our cul-de-sac now, I'm sure!

Birthday Boy-Part 1

It's hard to believe that our baby, Matthias turned 2!! He is such an absolute joy! He is so loving and sweet and always up for mischief with the siblings. What a blessing he is to our family.

We celebrated at home on his birthday with Bobbie (grandma)and the family. He got to share his birthday cookie with Bobbie whose birthday was two days before his. Although it did have a train on it. He's pretty thrilled!

Yumm!

He LOVED blowing out the candles!! We did it about ten times. He'd say "more" after each blowout.

The boys.


Gift time. Luke was VERY anxious to see what Matthias was going to "share" with him!

PICNIC

We recently had lunch at beautiful park with the Rays and Tia Kiki. The kids had a blast and somehow found their monkey side when they climbed everything in sight.

A walk on the trails.

Isabella and Daddy hiding in a tree. See, monkeys!

Isabella and Daddy make it to the top of the huge rock!

It's Luke's turn to master the rock and he wants to do it all himself.

Daddy joined him at the top. Way to go Lukey!

Isabella LOVES taking Matthias down the slide. I think he prefers to slide solo! ; )

Time for some games while the food cooks.

Wouldn't be a picnic without watermellon!

Mommy's Favorites

These days are non-stop. Most of the time I feel like I am in the center of a tornado with all there is to do. Then there are these moments that I grab the camera to remind myself of all the sweetness around me. What a blessing!

Who needs sleep on Saturday morning! These three are up by 7:15am and by 7:45am we are painting ceramic banks. They sure don't want to miss a thing.

Isabella and Luke enjoying their popsicles arm in arm. They have their moments. : )

Just a beautiful close-up of Isabella at breakfast.

One of the kids' favorites, ring-around-the-rosies. Bobbie is always up for a game. The "all fall down" part gets a little crazy!!

Can't get enough pictures of the three in Daddy's chair.

Matthias' first taste of jelly on his toast. He likey!!
