Happy Birthday Daniel, Papa, and Aunt Joan

I am very blessed to be part of a great family. We spend a lot of time together and I always love getting together with everyone for a party. This party was at my Uncle Michael's house and we had a lot of fun!

Here is my daddy and Melissa playing on the tire swing. Here I am on my bouncer...my mommy and daddy let me bring it with me to party's when other kids will be there...it is wonderful!

Running around!

Just hanging out after dinner.

My turn on the tire swing!

Melissa's turn! Mom isn't sure why she didn't get cake pics, gift pics etc. Hmmm...maybe I was keeping her a little bit busy. :-)

A loooong time coming . . . just catching up

Well, a lot has gone on in our life in the past month. My mom hasn't really had the time to sit down to blog. But, things seem to be settling down a little bit and its time for mom to get my blog caught up...her goal is to be caught up before Halloween so that she is ready to groove as the holiday season starts to kick in.

In September my Papa made a REALLY delicious spanish meal for my dad as an early birthday present. He worked on the food for two days and it was sooooo good. We ate a ton of food and had fun celebrating my dad's birthday a bit early.

Here is my Papa's ingredients and skilled cooking technique.
One day my Papa and Grandma called me up to see if I had eaten breakfast already. We had actually had a very lazy day and so my mom and I got ready and went to IHOP with my grandparents. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed every moment together!

I am so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents!!!!
