Zoo Day

So we decided to take adventage of the beautiful spring weather by taking Christian to the zoo. He loves animals and we knew he would have lots of fun. We met up with his friend Kaleb and they enjoyed the zoo from the comfort of a wagon, I think that was Christian's favorite part!

Spring Vacation in Crystal

So spring break is finally here!!!!! To kick off our vacation we left friday night to Crystal City to visit some family. Christian spent time with a lot of his cousins, aunts, and uncles and had a blast doing it! Here are a few pictures of our visit.

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!!!!

So I know that it has been a long, long, while, so I'm gonna back track a little and try to catch you up this week while I'm on spring break. Back in february, Christian, along with his buddies Austin and Dylon took a trip to the Natrual Museum of Science to check out what every little boy would love to see....BUGS!!! We started off in the live insect house where they played games and checked out some really nasty looking insects. Then they moved on to the butterfly house to explore the rainforest and some really beautiful butterflies. They finished their trip to bug land with some climbing and crawling in the beehive play area. This was Christians favorite part! Check out the videos and some pictures of the day.

Too cute!!! This was at the enterance of the museum and I had to take a picture! Christian checking out some cool bug fossils Austin and Christian play a bug video game ...Who's winning? Christian taking after his Daddy and using his video game skills to "kill" the bugs Christian getting up close and personal with a really gross beetle!Boys and Bugs, what two things go together better?!

Winter Holidays in the White House

We were really blessed this Christmas to be able to share the holidays with so much family and of course with our growing baby boy Christian. Although technically this is his second Christmas, this is the first one he got to really enjoy. On Christmas morning, after breakfast, Christian was ready to open presents. He came into the living room and as he scanned the room filled with presents and new toys he could hardly contain his excitment and didn't know where to begin. After testing out all of his toys and giving them his stamp of approval, it was nap time for him, and cooking time for the adults. That evening we enjoyed a Christmas dinner together with Christian. On New Year's Eve we took Christian to the Childrens' museum to countdown the "Noon Year". We met up with his friend Kaleb and he had a lot of fun! Although we had a full house for two weeks it was great to have Christian surrounded by so much family. I hope everyone else's holiday was great! Sorry it took me so long to post this!!!! Christian is so excited about all the wonderful new toys Santa has left him! Who you calling Christian?

Christian testing out his new slide Christian has perfected his present opening skills Christian ripping through the presents Christian found his own way to make a basket Tia Golla got Christian his own computer, maybe now he'll stop being obsessed with ours....wishful thinking Christian and Nona playing in his new playhouse Although Christian was sleeping when the New Year rang in, he did get to celebrate a little before he went to bed. The next day we had family come into town and Christian had fun hanging out with them and of course loved all of the attention!!!! On New Year's Eve we took Christian outside to "pop" fireworks...aka sparklersChristian with his Nona and Tia Golla

For all you concerned viewers, this is just a very bright sparkler, Christian decides to keep his distance anyway! Christian invites his cousins(who came to spend New Years with him) to play in his new play house I wonder what's so funny?Christian with his Tio Juan and Tia Sylvia
