Happy Birthday To Mama!

Ok, so I went through some denial about my Birthday. Shoot, I am still in denial. From now I'm going to be "35 - the sequel"! Can you tell that I tried to get away with having the number "34" on my cake but DaDa decided otherwise. SIGH
My Birthday was amazing and I was very fortunate to have two cakes! DaDa made me a wonderful dark chocolate cake and my Mami and Ivan made me the same cake I had about 30 years ago: Strawberry Shortcake! I certaintly had a wonderful Birthday! Thank you!!! Oh and notice Dean's face - his little fingers were itching to get a piece of the icing...which he succeeded in doing.

Playdate With Isla and Leah!

My friend Alison came in from Scotland to visit family and friends. She was so kind to squeeze in a playdate for Dean and her daughters Isla (who turned two in late July - Happy Birthday Isla!) and Leah (who is now 4 months old). Isla has proven to be quite the loving big sister and was constantly wanting to hug and kiss her new little sister. The most adorable girls ever! Thank you again Alison for the special day! We miss you so much!

Beating The Summer Heat

As many of you know it gets hot here in Texas. Really hot. So we decided to get Dean a kiddie pool to beat the heat. He loves it so much that everyday he asks me for "agua". This was great in preparing him for the bigger pool when we went to Florida.

Happy 2nd Birthday Dean!!!!!

As promised here are the pictures from Dean's 2nd Birthday! We were so happy to be able to celebrate such a special day with family and friends! Dean really enjoyed his Elmo themed party and especially his Elmo toys. He still can't get enough of his wooden puzzles and the Elmo phone that Aunt K.K. and Uncle Count gave him.

Thank you again for making his Birthday so special!
