Pool Girls!!

Thank goodness we have a neighborhood pool! It has been in the 100s here so the girls have been loving the pool. Here a few pool shots from a recent trip. Thank goodness for daddy and the buelos, who take the girls to the pool so I don't have to.

EASTER!

We had a fun time at Easter. Our neighborhood always has an Easter Egg Hunt, so we dressed up and went to that. Thanks Aunt Dalanie for the adorable Easter dresses! My girls are always dressed fab because of Sullivan and Etta's hand me downs. Thanks Uncle Ro!!

Even Max and Lola got in on the fun!! They are giving the Easter bunnies a run for their money!!

Then we had a party with some of our friends and decorated eggs and cupcakes. Yum!!

We also spent the evening at Rosa and Dan's house, having another Easter egg hunt, a fabulous meal and a great time in their beautiful pool. I will try to post those pictures. For some reason I couldn't get them off of my IPhone onto this site. Hmmmm. It was a fun Easter.

Victor Luis' Birthday

I know it has been five months since his birthday, but that is how long it has taken me to sit down and find the time to update everything. As a lot you know, it has been hectic around here. I'll leave it at that.
Here we go with updates....starting with Victor Wee's birthday. I think of him daily. He would be starting kindergarten this September. What a big boy I'd have to help me out around here and be the man of the house! It pains my heart to think of my alternate universe. Remember him as your child goes to school this year.

We went to Victor's parent's house and I decorated a cake for him with things I think he'd like at his age. Here is the finished product. We always get him gifts and let our girls play with them.

The girls enjoy eating their brother's cake. They rushed through dinner to get to his cake as fast as they could!

We write messages to him on balloons each year to send up to heaven to him. He is not forgotten.

Victor's parents have a statue of a little boy in a baseball cap that they bought in honor of their little grandson who would have been in a baseball cap playing in their big backyard. We wanted to take a family picture next to it before we released his balloons.

We all sent the balloons to heaven to let Victor Luis know he is not forgotten and he's still loved. Life goes on, but not without him being included in our lives.

His little bookshelf, the one that was in his room, all ready for him to arrive, is always set up just as it was. We keep it in Victor's office. I look at all his things and the girls are interested in them as well. They certainly know who he is. Each time they see the moon they say "there is Victor Wee's moon!" And the other day a little girl said "i have a brother." and Ava said "i have a brother too." It touches our hearts.
