I'm 2 years old!

See Nícolas saying how old he is in both English and Spanish. We're still working on getting his fingers right though!! :)

Easter Card Story

Grandmomma Karen & Granddaddy Jim sent Nícolas a cute Easter card. Nícolas loved it so much, he actually made a story about it. If you have a hard time understanding him, the story pretty much goes like this..." Once upon a time there was an easter bunny and a mama egg and abc's and more abc's and a circle...the end..." He's got quite the imagination!

Turn up your volume!!

Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday was cloudy most of the day. We took some time to read the Bible kids version and Nícolas got to play with his cool Easter Truck basket! Here's a video of him uncovering all the presents in his basket.


Since the day got much better towards the evening, we drove to a park nearby and let him do a little egg hunting! Watch him find all the eggs!!

Night Night Prayers

One thing we always made a habit of doing before going to bed is pray with Nícolas. He is doing a great job! No complaints at all! Right before putting him to bed, he'll tuck in a few of favorite animals under our couch pillows (TRex, Brachiosaurus, whale...to name a few) We just have to make sure we watch out the next morning! Chris and I alternate when putting Nícolas to bed. Chris prays with him in English and I pray with him in Spanish.

Turn up your speakers and get ready to hear the sweetest little voice...

Here's Chris's night night prayer...

My version is just like Chris's, except slightly longer as I added a few more prayer requests for his grandparents :)

Nícolas's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday Nícolas!! Yup!! Our little man is 2 years old!! This year, we celebrated his party at a park near our house. The party was safari themed from a very popular kid's show "Go Diego Go." This is the cake I had made.He had a giraffe piñata, which the kids loved and everyone had a great time! Nícolas was NON stop from 10a till 1:30p! (correction...since he woke up at 5:30a!) He was full of energy...well..that's not news!!

We were very excited my parents came to visit!! They have been spoiling Nícolas tons, and mami too :)

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!
