One HOT birthday party for August Olague!

One of my stroller strides instructors (her name is Dana and she's such a great lady!) has a daughter who has the same birthday as Delaney. Her name is August and she is one year younger. It was another extremely hot and humid weekend. The party was at a house that has parties all the time and it had bouncy houses, clowns, face painters, crafts, games, balloon shape makers, spiderman, elmo, big bird, bert & ernie and even Dora!! The kids had so much fun but they were soooo hot. I finally had to take Bryse's shirt off because he was bright red and soaked with sweat. Delaney of course was in love with Dora and the Sesame Street characters but was afraid of Spiderman. It was a great place to have a party...too bad it was so hot that day!! Happy 2nd Birthday August!!

Delaney's 3rd Birthday

oh, where do I begin. It's been so long since I've blogged and there's been so much going on!! I guess I'll start with Delaney's 3rd Birthday party!! It was soooooo HOT!! We were all melting! Delaney had a great time at her party and got SOOOOOOOO many gifts!! That girl has more toys than I know what to do with! I ordered her cake from Sam's Club and they put hot pink icing on the cupcakes which was not the best idea! The kids faces and hands were all stained pink.

the infamous cake.soo huge and hot pink!

see her hot pink mouth!!

On her actual birthday (which was on a thursday) we were at the river. Ryan couldn't get off of work so the kids and i went with my parents to my aunt and uncle's house in needles. We had so much fun. It was Bryse's first time at the river and he loved it! I'm so glad that my kids are river rats like me!! Thanks mema and papa for driving us and thank you aunt rhonda and uncle mike for letting us stay at your place!!

Thank you to everyone for making Delaney's 3rd Birthday so special! I don't know what my life would be like if i didn't have Delaney in it....she's my best friend, my pal, my snuggle buddy, my shopping partner. We do everything together. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for my beautiful baby girl. Happy Birthday Delaney!!

Ryan's 31st Birthday

We celebrated Ryan's 31st birthday with Bill and Jenn in San Diego. We went out on the boat in the bay, ate dinner at Nick's and then went for a late night cruise. It was a blast. Thank you Bill and Jenn for being our favorite vacationers! We love you! Happy Birthday Ryan!!

New photos!!

We had family photos taken today and there are some cute pictures. I don't like any of the pictures of me but isn't that always how it goes!! I can't believe that we FINALLY got Delaney to smile for the camera!! It's always been sooooo hard getting the kids to cooperate and smile for the camera but they were so good today...having Ryan there made a huge difference!

Cancun

We just got back from Cancun and had a blast! We went with Dean and Amy and what an adventure it was! We stayed at the resort by the pool for the first few days and then we did day trips for the last two days. Ryan got a sore throat and I caught a cold so we are both exhausted!! We had so much fun and can't wait for our adults only trip next year to the Caymans!!

yes, it's a shark!! eek!
