Graduation Cake - Hello Kitty

Celebrating the graduation of New Vista services with a Hello Kitty cake. Our speech therapist's name was Cat so we thought it was fitting to have a Kitty cake. Lais, Nana and I made the cake in honor of the kids' graduation - no more speech monitoring! Hooray!!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear Isla, Solomon, Simon
Happy Birthday to you!!!

How is is possibly my babies are two already? You know how you always pray your puppy will stay a puppy forever? Well, I pray my babies will stay this age forever too (maybe add in potty training to this dream too). :)

Happy Birthday to the sweetest, most precious gifts to my heart. I love you sweet peas. Mommy is so proud of each and every one of you. Thank you, God, for our beautiful miracle babies.

Cleaning...Start 'em early!

When the kids see me cleaning, they naturally get excited to help too. Here are the boys helping Mommy "clean". Ends with a little bit of a BONK!

Simon loves to swing and Isla and Solomon love to slide down the slides. Here are some pictures of another day at the park in Santa Fe.

Poker?! Already!?!?

Is it too early for the kids to play poker? Nah, they're just building towers with the chips - completely harmless.
