NIKOS 1

 I really didn't want to do much for Niko's birthday. But having family in town I felt like I needed to do something. I tried to keep it low key but before I knew it, it was something big! We did the whole mexican food meal. Chicken and Mole, rice, beans, pasta salad, chips, lemonade.

 Gratefully my mother in law was in town and so she pretty much made all the food! It was great! I was cleanup girl/

 And of course Damon needed a balloon for the big day! Thanks to grandma again!

 I attempted to make a cute cake that looked like a basketball hooop with a ball on top, and yah that didn't really turn out so we resorted last minute to a costco cake.

 This is a mexican tradition to smash thier face in the cake, He was attempting it on his own until Juan threw it in the face! He didnt like it too much up his nose.

 This boy is spoiled beyond words from everyone! He got 2 gifts from us. 

 This was the all time favorite! A soccer ball!

 After this gift, he was pretty much done looking at anything else. He just wanted the ball! That was from us and a little people farm.

My mom sent money so I got him a few new summer outfits and sandals

Grandma Enriquez got him sippy cups and an outfit

Tia Vicky and Juan got him an outfit and shoes

David and Melissa got him cars shoes, and cars balls

Jesus and Robyn got him a car play garage

 We had also got him this baseball but took it back. He didn't need more toys!

 For his real brithday he got to eat a few pieces of cake! He thought it was great!!

Oneonta Falls

 We were lucky enough to get to go hiking with a couple of Juans co-workers and thier familys. When we thought hiking we thought we would be doing trials. But no it was more this. Walking on logs, wading through water, and rock climbing on the sides so we didn't have to actually swim to the other side. What a blast though! We were fortunate enough that Juan's mom is in town for Vickys wedding and was able to watch the kids while we went. We have a hard time doing things like this because we can't take Damon. So what a treat it was to spend a few hours together enjoying the outdoors! It was also nice to get to know some people Juan works with. We also took his brothers Luis and Samuel. 

Found my boys reading at the same time a while back in different spots of the house. Love that they like the read!

Fathers day 2012

Blessed to have these men in my life!

Friends Baby Shower

 A while back, a friend of mine was expecting a baby and wanted to do a little celebration! But instead of a normal shower, we did just a girls night out. It was so much fun and we had it at a little private place and had it catered. The friend that through it with me is in the big hat.

 Here us Ruth, the guest of honor! This was special for her because she was expecting twins but at 20 wks lost one. What a hard thing to go through!

 This is for my dad! 

 This creepy lady was in the corner and I had to take a picture with her!

 This is one of my great friends here! We get a long like two peas in a pod!
