Part 2

They spent two more days at Disney. Lito was quite a hero riding all of the rides with the girls!

Lita dressed them so well for the trip. I love the pineapple shirts with the neon tennis shoes! :)

 This was one of their favorite rides for sure!

They rounded out the day with dinner at Denny's. Yum!

Last Day!

 They finished early and headed back to the hotel so Lito could grab a nap...they wore him out! Then they had a swim before dinner.

 And now they are flying back today. We can't wait to see them. Thank you, Lito and Lita for giving them such a FUN week!!!

California/Disney Trip Part 1

They spent their first day recovering from travel and swimming at the hotel pool. Then, Friday they spent a full day enjoying Disneyland.

The girls had sooo much to say when we talked to them that evening. They really had fun! They went to a show where they saw Frozen characters, Sofia the 1st, Neverland Pirates and others complete with "Snow" bubbles falling from the ceiling among other things. It all sounded very exciting.

Then they spent the weekend with family...
Austin's Tia Eva and Uncle Steve live nearby, and Tia Rosa and Tio Quique also happened to be visiting.

And crawdad fishing!

 They are headed back to Disneyland today and tomorrow for more fun!

Stephen wisdom

The other day, Stephen approaches me...

"You know what, Mommy." (this is a normal occurrence because the boy loves to talk!)

"What, Buddy?"

"I think I want to die when I am still little."

"Really. (insert tone of surprise) Why?"

"Because I can't commit mortal sin when I am little, and then I can go straight to Heaven."

"Wow, well that is a good idea!"

He has really been listening to our religious discussions lately! I have to admit, this one caught me off guard. I had no idea how to respond!

The Big Trip

The three girls have been gearing up for a surprise trip. Austin took them to Houston last night so they would be close to the airport. This morning, he took them to meet Lito and Lita, and they flew to California for a week at Disneyland! We sure will miss them, but I know they will be spoiled having a great time!

At the airport this morning, ready to go!

Buddies

My oldest and youngest playing blocks together at a friend's house. Timeless.

He is a walker!

Sebastian has really taken off now. He walks almost everywhere. He still falls a lot, but he is very careful, so when he does fall he is able to catch himself. He just gets back up, balances for a few seconds, and keeps on going. He is really enjoying his newfound freedom!

Rib Boy

I have been expanding his diet since his birthday, and he had his first taste of ribs tonight. They were a hit for sure!
