This is what happens when the 4 year old gets hold of the camera

I'm thinking he has a future in photo journalism :)

Pool Time

Summer fun in the sun. Today we found a great steal on this adorable dinosaur blowup pool. The kids had SO much fun flipping and flopping around in it. It is pretty shallow so Molly can crawl around and have a blast too. Neither of them wanted to leave it to come in for dinner tonight!

The big boy--he kept tackling the dinosaur

The little lady--she just kept going everywhere!

She also kept reclining like this--hilarious!

Fun times

I so love this picture. He is all cheese and she is just taking it easy.

Mr. Climbing Monkey

Paco's brother,Mike, and his wife ,Amber, just returned from a week long trip to Thailand where they visited her sister. They had a fantastic trip and brought us some beautiful gifts back. EJ got a really cool slide whistle and Mr. Climbing Monkey. You pull the cords on each side and he climbs up the rope. We had to find a place to hang him first thing this morning and Mr. Monkey has been climbing the rope all day long. Thanks Uncle Mike and Aunt Amber...he loves it!

EJ in his jammies playing

We had to get his bathroom stool for a bit of height assistance

All the way to the top

Someone else has been very interested in the new toy today too

But Mom, why can't I climb up and play?

Happy Birthday (just a little late!)

Molly's 1st birthday celebrations got pushed back a few weeks this year due to our move. The last two weekends we've been making up for lost time with plenty of family, food and fun. Paco and I would like to thank everyone for coming and celebrating the first of many birthday's for our sweet girl.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!"

Are you seriously giving me this whole cupcake?!?

Mmmm....pretty tasty

I think she approves of the cupcake

Lots of presents too!

Strawberry Picking

This past Memorial Day weekend EJ and I had such a fun time strawberry picking. We went out to Jeffries Farms and picked almost 10 pounds of delicious berries. If I had to guess, I would say EJ picked about 1/2 a pound and ate around 3 pounds!

Looking for some perfect ones

Trying out a big one

Look at those red fingers and face--I put him in a red shirt on purpose!

Look at all those delicious strawberries

Last soccer game

He loves kicking the ball around

He even tries to get in there and steal a few balls

But, his favorite part is goofing around and playing with the other kids!

Just a few random pictures

Getting Kitty kisses

First thing in the morning--she is trying to crawl into brother's lap(please note his stylin' hair)

Hmmm...what part of kitty should I yank on next?
