Party balloons

We were getting ready for a birthday party! We were celebrating birthdays for all the Spring CHICKS...well, and the one little Rooster!

Growing "duck hair" and Duckie's first haircut...

Mia and I had fun planting seeds, watering, and watching the Duckie Hair grow! After about 10 days Duckie was ready for her first hair cut! SNip SNiP!

Learning new tricks & just being cute!

Hola Tio Javi!

We had a short- but great- visit with Rod's brother , Javier. The kids really enjoyed meeting him again (Diego for the first time) Too bad we didn't get a better picture of the new buddies- but I guess this will do! Hopefully next time the whole family will get a chance to come so we can hang out with Tia Mirna and Cousin Luca!

how sweet it is...

what every girl needs- a trusty pair of pliers to adjust her rainboots...

ah-ha!

now we know where Diego picked up the thumb-sucking from...

experimenting

I've been playing with a new program- I'd like to try to do some digital scrapbooking...but, I am not sure how to do some important things...like PRINTING. I'll keep working on it....

after dinner playing...

Angulo tower...several attempts at using the timer...quite a feat getting everyone assembled on cue...

aaaahhhhh! what, Mia with her mouth open talking- how rare- ha.

oh yeah- he's a cutie!
