Happy Birthday Abuelita

Tomorrow is Abuelita's Birthday!
We celebrated a little early and had my parents over for dinner and cupcakes tonight.


 We hope all your wishes come true!!!
We are so lucky and blessed to have you in our lives.
Thank you for all that you do for us.

I was watching TV the other day with Emma and she saw these butterfly cupcakes.
She said we should make them for Abuelita's Birthday.

Happy Birthday Abuelita Rose!

Emma's 1st day of Pre-School

This morning was Emma's 1st day of school for the 2012 - 2013 school year.
She is back at her same school from last year, and she was so excited to see all of her old friends.

This morning Doug, Elle and I all went to drop her off.
She was so proud to introduce Elle to her teachers and to her friends.

 Her only complaint about school today was that they didn't have any time to paint.

We can't wait to see what new things Emma will learn at school this year!

Flapjacks and cheerleaders

Sunday morning we went to Raven's Flapjack Fundraiser.
Emma was in love with all of the cheerleaders.
She said she wants to be one when she gets big like Raven.

Elle is 10 weeks!

Sweet little Elle is 10 weeks today.

She is pretty darn sweet and so snugly.
Here she is with Daddy just before bed time tonight.

She is doing so well and growing so fast.
She is a very easy going baby, a great eater and a good sleeper.
We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect little lady for our family.

We love her to pieces!

Park of the Week #9

This evening we had a picnic dinner at San Elijo Hills park in San Marcos.
We love this park and we always have a great time.

Tonight we were joined by Papa, Abuelita, Harper, Drew and their folks.









Pros:
-Such a great playground with a big shade structure.
-The spray ground area now has tables and a shade structure.
-The park started out busy but then got really quiet and we had the entire place to ourselves.

Cons:
-It was a bit overcast and chilly so we didn't get to enjoy the spray ground.
-They should really have more of the rocking things. Only having one dolphin can cause some arguments.

Bates Nut Farm

Yesterday afternoon we went to Bates Nut Farm with Papa, Abuelita and JuJu.

We started out feeding the goats and sheep.



Then we had to go inside and pick out some treats from the store.

I think little Elle enjoyed her first trip to Bates.

I can't wait until it is time to pick out our pumpkins there soon!

Emma's last ballet class

Yesterday was Emma's last ballet class.
She loves ballet, so I know we will be signing up for it again sometime soon.


Normally they make you watch from the hallway through the window.
Yesterday I got to sneak in for a little bit and I loved it!

Elle's Baptism

This morning Elle was Baptized.





David and Cris are Elle's Godparents and we know they will be wonderful examples for our little lady.

A special thank you to all of our friends and family who were able to join us.










After the baptizm we went for lunch at AƱejo to celebrate.



May God bless you sweet Elle.
We love you!

Park of the week #8

This evening we went to Lakeview Park in San Marcos.
This is one of our favorites.
 We played on the playground for a little bit.


 Then we waited for the fountain to start.




 Then we went down and fed the ducks.

It was such a fun evening at the park!

Pros:
-The park wasn't very crowded.
-We love the fountain and little playground.
-Going down to the lake to feed the ducks is always so much fun.

Cons:
-The fountain didn't start on time. We had to wait around for about 15 minutes.
-It was pretty warm today and there isn't a lot of shade by the fountain.

9 Weeks!

Our sweet little lady is 9 weeks today!

We love her to pieces!
