We went to Sophia Tapp’s 1st birthday party today at Chevy’s. The kids had fun feeding chips to the ducks outside. They also hired a very talented balloon artist.
The menu: I ordered shrimp fajitas, Nat got a cheeseburger, Tyler got cheese quesadillas, and David got the shrimp and crab enchiladas.

After the party, we stopped at Sports Authority to look at bikes.
Uncle J brought Paigow and Nina over to play last Sunday. The kids had fun playing with them in the backyard.
The kids got bored and decided to make the coffee table into a bunkbed.

Natalie turned 5 last saturday. We celebrated by having a party at home and invited some friends and family. Natalie was very excited to have a party in our new house.

Happy Birthday Natalie!
Natalie’s last day of gymnastics class at the Little Gym was on Monday. Each child did their own routines in each of the sections and then at the end there was a small awards ceremony. Natalie was sick all weekend and stayed home sick on Monday too, but she wanted to go to the last session so we went. While she was doing her routines, she started feeling sick again — probably over exerting herself — so she wasn’t having as much fun as the other kids.

Tyler seems to have found a new favorite toy. He’s been calling her “his baby.”
Kissing baby
Loving baby
Checking baby’s diaper
Baby’s taking a nap
While I was getting ready to write this blog, Tyler brought his baby and one other toy to my room and sat on my bed to watch TV with me. He put his baby on my bed too. I started to move around and he warned me “Don’t knock over my baby mommy!”
Here’s a video of Tyler pretending to be a dragon. The sound he’s making is him pretending to blow fire from his mouth.
Here’s a video of Tyler telling me who’s people’s names are.
Big Uncle started to paint Natalie’s room today. She has requested her room to be pink. (It’s currently yellow) He has plans to add some stripes in. We’ll see how it turns out.
Rosamaria got this Bob the Builder hat and Tyler has been in love with it. He brings it home everyday and even sleeps with it. Sometimes, he’ll put it on and sing, “Bob the builder we can fix it!”
