Happy Birthday Cristiano!

We had a small cake for Cristiano on his actual

birthday last week. He LOVED the chocolate and

tried to eat the candle several times.

Always the giving little boy --- feeding

mommy. YUM. Chubby fingers with chocolate

fudge cake. Does it get any better than that?

Trying to force feed daddy!

I think he was trying to see if he could fit

his fists in Shawn's mouth.

C's weekend birthday party! Thanks to the Brisco's,

Patterson's, Kemp's, Mulders, Mutalik's and Evan's

for coming!

Pic above is Shawn and Bella enjoying the jupiter

jump before the party started. That contraption

was awesome. It reminded me of how much I really

need to start working out.

C's Ferrari F40 cake and mini cake


The 'clean' pic. Bella and BFF Allie are excited

to see if Cristiano will actually try and

eat his mini cake...

Hmmmm.....

Using tools to get to the goods.

Needless to say, he LOVED his cake. And so did the
walls, floors, tables, chairs and anyone within 10 feet
of him. Cake was flung in every direction for a
good 15 minutes. I'm still finding bits and pieces on the
walls and shutters.


C and the girls (Natalie and Sydney). He was

showing off his mad skills at the xylophone

He received some awesome presents. We've been

entertained by his alligator xylophone in the wee

hours of the morning, enjoyed watching him get

tagged by little balls from the ball popper thingy :),

he loves the bi-lingual driving toy (bi-lingual F1 driver

in the making), and he loves to be pushed around

on his alphabet train (einstein watch out). Thank

you all for making his day so special!

3 Little Monkeys at the Zoo

My best friend Sarh and I took our little monkeys to the

zoo a few weeks ago and had a MARVELOUS time!

In just a matter of 5 hours we were able to throughly

exhaust ourselves (not including the kiddos - they

were ready for more - AMAZING).

Aunt Sarah treated the girls to 3 consecutive

rides on the carousel. Needless to say they

were a like weeble wobbles when they walked off.

Bella feeding the birds.

Cristiano took bite of the bird food

too. He will eat anything!

Bella and Sydney acing like monkeys


... kissing a catfish that's bigger than they are

... and of course, posing for the camera

Finally... one little monkey takes a snooze

(for 15 minutes)

Then off to the water park we went!

A great end to a great day
