We got to spend Sunday with the Torres celebrating Jorge's birthday. Lydia and Zack cooked delicious pork burritos for lunch, and Jorge was excited to get a new camera as one of his gifts. Happy Birthday, Tio! Thanks for letting us share the special day with you!

Happy Birthday, Tio!
Fun at Ernie and LaDonna's!
We had such a great time at the annual get-together LaDonna and Ernie hosted on their farm Saturday! We played all kinds of sports - softball, basketball, and volleyball, and ate delicious barbeque along with all the other potluck goodies. The weather scared us a bit with rain at lunch, but it ended up being a beautiful day! Thanks so much to LaDonna and Ernie for planning such a fun event!





These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things...
From baby dolls and blankies to footballs and ABC's, these are a few of our favorite things!
Addison's blanket and baby doll are instant cures for anything that's gone wrong! She never willingly puts down either one!
Noah LOVES balls and Elmo...
...and giraffes
...and singing his ABC's and 123's OVER AND OVER AND OVER!
Petting Farm at School
Lots of animals came to visit Noah and his classmates at school last Thursday. There were goats, calves, ducks, bunnies, donkeys, and dogs. Noah loved it! He's continued to ask to pet the animals again each day this week! His teacher didn't really understand what he meant when he asked her on Monday until I explained. She laughed!
Noah's teacher, Ms. Laura, posed with both Noah and Addison. (She will be Addison's teacher next year!)

AND SHE'S OFF.....
Addison has now joined the walking world!! She walked first on last Tuesday, and she hasn't stopped going since!! She's had a couple of falls and scrapes, but nothing has deterred her yet! She's up and off again immediately. GOOOO Addison!! (I guess I'd better take those last crawling photos now if I'm not already too late!)
HERE I GO...
WHOAAAA... Whew, that was close. Thanks, Anna!!
BYE, BYE!!

Easter Egg Hunt!!
Many thanks to Teresa for hosting such a fun Easter Party for the local young ones! The kids (and Moms) had so much fun eating yummy pbj's, finding lots of eggs, and eating endless chocolate, cake, and jelly beans! (The Dads thoroughly enjoyed themselves in different way, too - at a BBQ restaurant down the street!) Fun for everyone!!
Birthdays Gone By...
Lots of special people had birthdays in later February and March that need to be mentioned! A late Happy Birthday to Mark on Feb 17, Teresa, Alison, and Shelley on Feb 24, Allie on Feb 22, and Tony on March 4. Earl and Papa (Jr.) celebrated birthdays yesterday - more pictures from that one to come as soon as we can get copies! (I've got to start remembering to carry my camera to all these special affairs!)
