Swimming at Stapleton

The boys and I have gone swimming a couple of times in Stapleton.  We can't wait until we actually live there!  There are four pools there, we have only checked out one so far.

Cesar turns 35!

 We ate at 3 Margaritas for Cesar's birthday this year.  We got a great deal too.  We ended up paying about $6 plus tip for all of us to eat!  (We bought a Groupon Now -$15 for $30 worth of food, but Cesar had $10 from Groupon so we just ended up paying $5 for $30 food and then we paid tax at the resturant and tip).  When I left the table to go to the restroom I told the waiter it was Cesar's birthday, so they suprised him with this big sombrero and a happy birthday song and put icecream on his nose!  It was fun.

After dinner we stopped by Village Inn and got pie for dessert.  It was fun to finally be able to relax and spend time with the family- it's been a while because Cesar has been so busy building our new kitchen.

Happy Birthday Cesar!

Elmo has been found!

This morning Diego was playing in my closet and walked out holding Elmo!  He got the Elmo backpack for Christmas and we misplaced it in early January and hadn't seen it since.  It was in our closet all along I guess.  Funny how things happen!

-in this picture Diego's hair is covered in Vaseline.  He and his cousin got into the Vaseline jar this morning and smeared it all over their hair!  Silly kids!

Granny

Granny Joyce came to visit for a few days.  It is nice to have her around.  She is 85 now.  The boys like her and give her hugs and kisses.  They all sat on the couch today and enjoyed a Thomas the Train book together.  It was sweet to watch.  Granny even mentioned that she has seen the cartoon on TV before.          

Much needed haircuts

This week

We closed on our Stapleton house yesterday afternoon- May 16, 2012!  Everything went well and we feel so blessed and happy.  Cesar and I went out to eat at a nice restaurant after the closing.  We haven't gone to pick up our keys yet, but plan to tomorrow.

Here is one of our bunny friends.  There are a few baby bunnies living under some of the rocks outside my parent's house.  They are so adorable.  The boys really like to see them too.

Cesar has been working non-stop lately.  He works 40 hours a week at Triunity (although last week he worked 50, so this week he is only working 30), and the rest of his time he spends in the garage building our kitchen cabinets.  It is a long process, but will be worth it in the end.  He is so smart!

Eli and Diego are so cute and such sweet brothers.  I am so glad they are mine!

Sunday was Mother's Day.  I had a nice day with family.  The boys and Cesar let me sleep in and brought me a nice plate of yummy cookies and some fruit in the morning.  Later my dad and Cesar made breakfast tacos for us.  We went to church and then we had a big family dinner.  The men (my dad, Cesar, Tony and Troy) made the dinner.  We had hamburgers and pudding parfait.  It was really good and we had a nice time just chatting while the kids played outside.
