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
