Lunch out with Maritza

Maritza joined us for lunch at Red Robin one day and we had a blast. Haley was great and Kiptyn was until the food came! Haley watched Dora on TV and then played with her balloon that the server gave her. Kiptyn was just cracking up at the balloon, it was super cute. That is when we broke out the camera and started taking pictures!


Here is me with the two kiddos, Kipyn wouldnt take his eyes off the balloon!


Haley starring up at her balloon, this was before it went to the ceiling twice!



Look at that face! Just couldn't get enough of that balloon. It was super cute.

Need I say anymore?

This is what happens when daddy leaves Haley alone downstairs!

Haley and daddy swim class

Haley and daddy took a swim class on Saturday mornings with their friends Ellie and Ryan. Daddy finally took some pictures with the new waterproof camera on the last day of class.

Notice the unmatching bathing suit that daddy dressed her in!

Haley about to jump in!

Play time.

They are very excited that the pools are opening this weekend! Kiptyn will get to swim for the first time!

A morning at Frying Pan Park!

One morning we went to meet our friends at Frying Pan Park! Haley loved it this time around. She is so much more into animals and talking about them. It was a bunch of fun. It was one of those hot days as well, but we survived!


Here is Haley with the piglets behind her. As usual she takes wonderful pictures!


Kiptyn all smiles in the stroller!

We hope to go back again this summer!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, I took the kids to church by myself while LT stayed home doing yard work. Lucky me! It turned out ok though and we had a good time, other than me being an emotional wreck. Then after naps we went to my parents house and had a nice steak dinner there. Our original plan was to go to Texas de Brazil, but they were booked, so we did that Tuesday night. We had a great time!

Kiptyn's 6 month appt.

This is a little late, as usual. But here is Kiptyn at his 6 month appt with Papi. He of course is a lil chunker! He was 21 pounds 14 ounces and 28.5 inches tall! He is over the 95th percentile in both of those, his head is in the 50th! The actual day of 6 months was a rough day for us, so we didn't get a chance to celebrate it. We waited two days and celebrated then. We got him an ice cream cake, which we enjoyed of course! Here is a picture of Kiptyn with his cake.

Here he is just hanging out in his highchair while the rest of us eat the cake! Yummy!

Botanical Gardens

One Sunday LT needed to go to work, so we drove into the city. I dropped him off and took the kids to the botanical gardens. It was really pretty, but it wasn't the fish that I promised Haley. Of course the entire time we were there she kept repeating fish! But we had a good time and got some good pictures.

So cute!


A smile for once!
