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!

Nícolas's 1st Haircut!

After Daddy insisted Nícolas's hair was growing a mullet and looking a bit too wild, we decided to get his 1st haircut on his 22nd month birthday!
If you've had the priviledge to meet our little one, you may imagine how Nícolas behaved the entire time. He does not like to be strapped with his arms covered, and much less with someone messing with his hair!
The hairstylist did a great job! You can see the rest of the pics on the album located on the right-hand column of the blog.

Fun entertainment

Just a few snippets of Nícolas doing some fun things...

Uncle Rubén taught Nícolas this dance this past Christmas. We finally caught him on video in April and he still remembers the dance very well!!

Practicing his singing skills for American Idol!

A daily dose of cardio is Nícolas's secret for staying in such good shape!

And a little horse riding at the end of the day...

It's Baseball Season!!

We went to the opener season game at the Round Rock Express. We got seats on the grass and Nicolas enjoyed running around everywhere!! With a little toddler, it's hard to keep up with the game. i had to keep an eye on him the entire time, so I'm not sure who were playing or even the score. It was fun though!! You can see more photos here.

Our little star!!

Nícolas and I always go to the park for an enjoyable walk and to feed the birds. Several months ago, a local musician that always plays at the park was putting together a baby video and took a few seconds of footage of Nícolas. He would not stay still, of course...but enough for a few seconds. The video is up and wanted to share it with you!

You can see him at 0:50 into the video. Very cute!!

Masterpiece

Somehow Nícolas got a hold of a pencil and decided to show his artistic abilities on the wall!! We got him next to his masterpiece and he happily posed! "Cheese!!"
