Monique's Birthday ~ Peter Piper Pizza

On Monique's accrual birthday, after a visit at the doctors office, we went to Peter Piper Pizza for a little birthday celebration.

We are having fun!

Happy Birthday girls...make a wish!

Yummy cake!

Cheap Labor

I have finished making the pinata for Monique's birthday. Now it is time to fill it!

They didn't even try or ask to eat any of the candy!??

Where did the candy go?

The kids are great helpers! Do I dare try to get them to fill the goodie bags?

Sweet Multitasker

When Alex takes naps these day they are so sweet. Not just because then I get a little quiet time, but because he also gets all cuddled up in his blankets and covers up his doggy too.

This little girl is acting like a little girl all of a sudden. This is her walking around with a baby, a bottle to feed the baby and talking on the phone!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Dan

Happy Birthday Grandpa Dan!

After dinner we had a little pie and sang happy birthday.

I hope Dan made a wish before Alex blew out his candle, with Alex around he didn't have a chance!

Yummy Pears

What happens when I tried making a fruit bowl and left all the pears in reach of the little fruit monster...
She took them all. I knew she was eating one of them, but didn't notice...
She was taking bites out of all of them!
Which one should I eat next?
But they all looked and tasted so good mommy!
Then she attacked the grapes.

Our Surprise Visit from CA

My cousin (tia to the kids) Stephanie and her husband Dusty were in town for the weekend and we were out of town so we thought we were going to miss seeing them. But they surprised the kids and brought us lunch Monday before they headed home! We had a great visit with them, thanks for coming by!
They had nice conversations.
Played a little cars
And with stickers

Alex played a little bamba for them and wanted Dusty to play with him. This is the guitar he was given!
Thanks for the visit Steph and Dusty, we miss you guys! (this was the best picture I got of you guys. All the other ones Alex and/or Dusty were giving steph bunny ears or messing up her hair way more than this:)

Grandparents Day

Alex celebrated Grandparents Day at school today!

He was very lucky that he got to sing songs and show his grandparents his class room. He was very excited they came today. His teacher said she had never seen him talk and be so active!!
