Nephew's Birthday party and beyond

Out back reading with Daddy.

A visit from the Shawley peeps!  Awesome dinner with awesome company.

Working on some coloring

This is the pre-party.

Watermelon shark- thank you pinterest.

The fam at the party.

Happy birthday Sam and Elijah from the Pico kiddos!

Erica with my childrens.

One birthday boy- turning the big 0-4.

Post party- you carry around your doll in a party hat.

Dad and Nugget out in the backyard,  so sweet I had to take the pic.

Not to be outdone by ANYONE with a camera, Miguel decided to take a few pics himself.

Kidlet Pics

Auntie holding Val while I was working.  Thank goodness she was there- he was losing it!

My sweet baby boy on the kitchen table.  Yeah, we were right there (we're not the type of parents that lets our kids Bumbo by themselves on the table.)

I LOVE this picture.  Val was talking to Daddy in this one while Isa was posing.

I love Val's expression in this one, it's just so him.  Isa is also giving her "I'm almost done here and after, I'm getting into some trouble" smile.

Rolled up hair, grandma, and a story.  Is there really anything better?

Ah, yes, before the baptism I was cleaning, cooking, running errands and Miguel was... taking pictures of the kids in the middle of the kitchen.  I only wish he had caught some of my hard work in the background but since my kiddos are so darling I'll settle for these pictures.
