Celebrating our 6th Anniversary!

I can't believe that this beautiful day was 6 years ago!
God has blessed me with an amazing husband and now our love is extended through our little Nícolas!

I made this year's present for Chris a little extra special. Since I've been working really hard to get in better shape, I treated myself to a nice professional glamorous photoshoot. I got an 8x10 photo framed and had a friend deliver it to Chris's work on Friday morning. He was delighted! He loves showing off his exotic wife :) He also got a new set of irons for his newest favorite hobby, golf!


Later that day, he came home to a bigger and extended version of my early present. I had this collage framed and is now adorning our living room! With college football around the corner, the football shot as the central photo seemed like the perfect fit!


This year we made a weekend celebration out of it! With a little one in the house, we now have to balance our time as a family and as a couple. On Saturday morning, we took Nícolas to a birthday party. He had a blast! Well...Daddy did too! The playground was supposed to be for kids 4 and older and you could only slide feet first. As you can see, Nícolas decided to defy the rules! Hmm...he must get that after his daddy :)

On Sunday afternoon, Chris surprised me with a trip to the Circus!! He kept me guessing the entire time and I had no clue what he was up to! I had never been to one in the U.S. and it was definitely an amazing show!

Shamu show @ Sea World

This is Nícolas's 2nd trip to Sea World this year. Back when we went in June, he was mainly interested in the dolphins and fish.

This time, all he could talk about was whales!

He was certainly looking forward to the whales this time around! As soon as we got there, our first order of business was to take him to see the whales! What better place than the Shamu show!

Below you can see a clip of Nícolas watching the show. He actually "sat" through the show the entire time! (all 30 min of it!) You can tell he was into it. He really enjoyed it!
