Happy Day!

Cesar and the girls gave me a wonderful birthday this year.  Nothing special...just a day with my family...perfect!  I had to work in the morning and then Cesar took me out to lunch while Sabrina (the new nanny) stayed with the girls a little late.  When the girls woke up, they gave me a balloon (guess who was on the balloon they picked out for me), cards and a cake (a really really yummy cake...I had at least 4 pieces today!).  Then I took a 20 minute nap and then we went to the playground/river with our friend Jen and her son Caleb.  Here are some shots from the day...

Just like teenagers...they look like they are texting..ha ha

My one request was the the girls not get wet...so much for that!

Leah LOVED fishing!

Isabella decided to join them in the river.

She got one!!

Daddy had to help her bring it in

Yep...that's my girls...fully clothed up to their neck in the river.  Ugh!

They were having SO much fun just playing together.  I was pretty far away on the shore and Cesar was fishing and they were just playing all by themselves.

I didn't realize that the nanny had put a diaper on the girls during nap...guess I forgot to tell her they don't wear them during the day.  Isabella's got SO ridiculously full...it weighed at least 25 lbs!

Veggie Tales

The girls MUST watch Veggie Tales everyday!  Must!  If we don't...well, we just do because it gets ugly when we don't!  So, when I got a flyer in the mail that said that Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato were going to be at a local bookstore on Saturday, I was so excited to surprise the girls with it!  When I told them they screamed and cheered and were so excited.  Bob and Larry were a little late getting there, so we walked around the store for a little while waiting for them.  They finally got there and, wouldn't you know...Isabella wanted NOTHING to do with them.  She clung to my leg for dear life!  Leah was a little nervous at first, but then got really excited and wouldn't leave the poor guys alone :)

Gymnastics

We signed the girls up for a 4 week gymnastics class at the Y.  To say that they LOVED it would be an understatement...they may have loved this more than the pool.  Each day they put out new equipment for the kids to try and after we did a little circle time in the beginning, we basically could just go around and do whatever we wanted.  The girls' favorite things were things they could swing on.  They really liked the rope and the rings the best.  We will definitely be signing them up for more classes in the fall!!

These girls can find a dog anywhere...this was outside of Nana's building

Late-night ice-cream treat.  We stopped at 8:30 on our way home from a party :)

Cesar and I went out on our first date night in well over 6 months!!  We had SUCH a great time.  We went to Rio and re-lived the first year of our relationship!  After dinner we went to sport and health and they let us walk around and just take-in the memories.  It was really really really really fun!!!!!  

I ordered a new wedding band for Cesar 

Date-nights are calorie-free nights, right??

Where we met...lots of memories at this front desk!

Our new discipline technique!  Just kidding...we watched our neighbors dog for a couple days and Leah thought it was so fun to get in his cage :)
