Happy 2010 Easter!

We started Easter Sunday off by the kids discovering the Easter baskets the Easter bunny left for them. They believe that the Easter Bunny comes early in the morning and leaves them their baskets.

At lunchtime our family came to our house to celebrate with us. We had Nana, Grandma Rosie, Grandpa and Aunts and Cousin's over to our house to celebrate.

It has become a tradition for Nana to get baby chicks on Easter. The kids get to love them and play with them for the day and then they go to a friends ranch to have a nice long life of laying eggs. Amelia loves those baby chicks.

We finished the day off with opening Easter baskets, having an egg hunt and cracking casacrones on each other heads. It's so much fun.

We are so bless to have our family all together to celebrate with each other. It was a great Easter!

Elliott's Birthday Dinner at Rain Forest Cafe

Elliott decided he wanted to Rainforest Cafe for his birthday dinner. When we got there they sat us by the big gorilla and he was not crazy about that. He spent most the dinner with his eyes wide open and his fingers shoved in his ears because the gorilla scared him. Amelia loved it and had a great time. Towards the end he just put his head down in my lap.

When we got home he told us he loved it and wanted to go back. Go figure, the boy is crazy. We have since gone back and he really enjoyed it. I guess it just takes some getting used to.

Elliott's 3rd Birthday!

Elliott turned 3 years old and had his party at Shady Oaks Ranch and had a Dinosaur themed party. His Aunt Brenda made his special cake. His favorite things are Dinosaurs and Hot Wheels right now.

It was a great party. There were rides, a train, miniature golf and indoor game room. All the kids had a blast and Elliott had the most fun of all. His favorite things were playing miniature golf, pool and the rides.

Elliott had so much fun playing with all his friends and they all had a GREAT time!

Elliott got so many wonderful gifts but the best gift of all was celebrating his birthday with all his friends and family. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. Happy Birthday Elliott, we love you!

2 Days at Landa Park

February 20, 2010 was the first really nice day we have had in awhile. We were on our way to run errands and Frank had the great idea to go to Landa Park in New Braunfels, TX instead. The kids loved it there. We went on a nature walked and walk all around the park and enjoyed the beautiful day.

We had so much fun that we decided to go the next day and invited Grandma Rosie and Grandpa to join us. This time we took fish nets and the kids went craw fishing.

It was a very special weekend. We enjoyed a a beautiful day and the company and love of our family.

Happy 6th Birthday Amelia

Amelia had a Great 6th Birthday. She had her party at Aerial Athletics and there were 35 kids there! They all ran around and had a great time jumping in the foam pit, jumping on the trampoline, moon bounce, and playing with each other.

Amelia is so blessed to have so many friends and family that love her so much and came out to celebrate her special day with her.

The end of the party was her favorite part because she became a human pinata and was bounced up and down so high. She loved it but Mommy wanted to pass out! Happy 6th Birthday Amelia! We love you!

Baby Cakes Quijano

I have heard that you don't pick your pets, your pets pick you... Well we got first hand experience with that one. We were leaving a friends party and stopped at Pet Smart to get some hamster food and right as we walked in we saw stray cats for adoption. Amelia spotted a grey kitten and it was love at first sight. The kitty was too little to adopt that day but it was going to be ready to adopt on January 23rd just one day before Amelia's birthday. We had to drag Amelia out of the store and all she talked about was the kitty for the rest of the night. So after hours of begging her Daddy we decided to adopt the kitty for Amelia's birthday. She was the happiest little birthday girl you could imagine.

Baby Cakes Quijano is the newest addition to our family. We could not have found a better cat. She is very mild manner and loving. She even let's Amelia wrap her up like a baby and push her around in a toy stroller. Elliott is her worst nightmare at the moment but he is getting better. Amelia is a great Mommy and takes very good care of Baby Cakes.
