Bunny Days

Once in a while, the Flower Fairy comes to the children's museum and brings along her two little bunnies. Today we were lucky to see the 3 month old baby bunnies. Here are some pictures of the kids with their furry friends.

Princesses

Princesses live in castles. At least that's what Isla tells me almost every day. Here's a picture of Isla and Mommy, two princesses, having a tea party.

Biscuits!

Bare Biscuits!

In the event I might be embarrassing my child, I won't name the owner of these adorable biscuits. ;)

Ahhh, the simple life of a toddler, after swimming in the backyard.

Coffee Time

Who says you can't start 'em out early? Here are the kids drinking their coffee with Mommy this morning. (Okay, it was chocolate milk for the kids but they thought it was coffee). ;) The coffee cups were a birthday present from Nani and Papi (my Grandma and Grandpa).

Everyone needs a morning caffeine boost if they're going to work this hard: 

Birthday Weekend with Nana

Nana (my Mom) came to visit the kids for their birthday. (Dad was unable to come due to work.) We had a great time together visiting the aquarium in ABQ, a train ride downtown and lunch at Il Vicino and a swimming adventure too. We were busy but had a blast. Here are some pictures highlighting our great visit.

Silly Faces

Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids a cute game called "Silly Faces" for their birthday. It's been a lot of fun to play. Once the faces begin forming we can't help but giggle. Here are some pictures of the kids' completed faces after the game was over.

Happy 3rd Birthday to YOU!!!!!!

We celebrated the kids' 3rd birthday with a big bash filled with family and friends. I can't believe my babies are 3!!!!!!! We had cake and tons of food and even though we asked for no gifts, we were spoiled with lots of new toys for our kids to enjoy (let's face it - me too!). :)

Here are some pictures of their special day:

Children's Museum

The Children's Museum is quite the entertainment for our family. We go there at least once a week to enjoy the various exhibits. The kids get so excited when I tell them it's museum day. Of course, they call it "Zeum Day". :)

Here they are in front of the building:

The most amazing singers and dancers of all time. :)

Here are the kids with Auntie Jamie and Uncle Chris. They were thrilled to receive this special homemade present from them - a stage!!! YAY!!! Lots of entertaining in the future. :)

Birthday Treats Made by Mommy

I love to plan the kids' birthday. I only get to celebrate 1 birthday a year for them so I try and do some special things for them to help them feel special. Here are some pictures of the treats I made for this special day:
