birthdays
end of popper
camera- mommy!


I think I needed some time to recover from all of the birthdays and first days of school. We go 50 weeks without a birthday and in two weeks we have all four! Miguel, you get the works because your birthday is first. You got homemade cake, hats, blowers and balloons at your school birthday then by Toto's I am exhausted. His cupcakes did not turn out and you got a store bought cake and I forgot the candles. All year I think about what I am going to make.

We had a combo birthday at Alamo Square and it was great. You had your friends all there and we played at the playground. We played pin the helmet on the race car driver and did the fishing game. My mom did that for my birthday and I loved it as a kid. It was a hit this time too.

For your dad and my birthdays we went camping at Clear Lake. You two loved the tent. You guys ran around that thing for close to two hours. There is a little window you can crawl through and you loved it.

For Tonio's birthday we went to the river and it was beautiful. We swam, went mini-golfing and had a birthday party with Sue, Tony and the family. Also it was the day you gave up the poppers. You put the poppers in a box and mailed them to baby pie in NY. You were sad the first days but did well. You still ask for them but have exceeded expectations on the popper loss. You also got a camera for your birthday. You have a picture of me on it and you find it and show it to me and say "Mommy" in the sweetest kindest voice. It breaks my heart.

The other day at dinner Miguel, you drank a lot of water and then said, "I was one thirsty boy!" It was very cute.

You both are now fully potty trained. No diapers at night!
