Cole had so much fun at his birthday party! We rented out the Rec Center in our neighborhood and rented a Spiderman bouncy house. The Rec Center is also next to a park with slides, swings and lots of things for the kids to climb. That night, Cole talked in his sleep and said “Mommy, when is my next birthday party?”. :) When I went to check on him, he was sound asleep, so he must have been dreaming. He got a bunch of Spiderman and Batman toys, clothes, shoes, swimsuits, a Portugal soccer uniform, a digital camera, a cool back pack that he’ll be able to use when he starts school (he feels really cool about it), a big water gun, a trunk FULL of dress up clothes, a pillow pet, and his favorite: baseball gloves! He sleeps in them! Thank you for everything! I promise to get the thank you cards out within the next 2 weeks. I'm usually really good about getting thank you cards out right away, but NOT THIS TIME. Cole asked me yesterday if I could have a Batman party for him on his 66th birthday and an Iron Man party on his 75th. LOL! He is obsessed with numbers lately!
Mama and Papi made me a cake on the actual day of my birthday. It made me feel special. 3 cakes for my 4th birthday!
Pops and Papa John.
While at lunch the other day, I ordered a mojito. Cole looked at it and said “Mommy, why do you have salad in your lemonade?”
Our trip to Galveston was SO FUN! We went with the Knott’s and the Simmons’ and stayed for 5 days. The kids swam and played non-stop! The weather was perfect but the beach itself had a TON of seaweed- regardless: it’s a beach! I’ll take any beach in any way, shape or form! The dad's and kids caught 4 stingrays and tons of little fish, crabs and a shrimp. The kids loved seeing all that! We went swimming at the Galveston Country Club pool, they decorated cupcakes, the played with water balloons almost everyday, they jumped on 2 bouncy houses, went on mini boat rides, and rode on the golf cart. Reid was sick most of the time either throwing up or having BM’s. He was EXTREMELY clingy and oh so whiney. Miraculously, he was a happy boy while at the beach, the pool and in the golf cart. It felt like as long as he was having fun, he was fine. Which meant, our time at the beach house with him was hard. I felt bad for the Knott’s and the Simmons’ having to hear him wine so much- but whadya do?
We celebrated Father’s Day the first week of June this year. This past Sunday (Father’s Day) was the day we got back from Galveston. Three days later, I am headed to San Antonio for work for 2 days. I return Friday and then Joe and I leave for Dallas to visit our friends Amy and Tony. That’s 3 cities in less than 1 week! June has been nuts this year! So, we celebrated my Papi on Saturday the 5th and with Pops on Sunday the 6th. Joe took Papi and Cole on a round of golf at the golf course in our neighborhood. Then, we went to Lupe Tortillas for a late lunch. Joe and Pops went fishing in Galveston with Bobby and Mike on Sunday. When they got back, we barbecued for lunch. We had fun both days celebrating the best dads in the world! I’m so thankful to have the best examples of Dad’s in our family. I know the boys will one day be amazing Father’s because of Joe, my Papi and Pops! We can’t thank you enough for all of the things that you are to us!
Happy Father’s Day Babe! I hope you fully comprehend how much Cole, Reid and I, love you. I don’t thank you as often as I should- but I always appreciate how much you do for our family. You are constantly helping with everything! You are the perfect husband, you are a crazy fun, loving dad and you work so hard at work for us! Even after all that, you still split the laundry and the dishes with me, you do most of the cooking, you pick up toys all of the time and you do the yard in 200 degree heat. You do it all and I don’t know how I got so lucky. Thank you Love. I couldn’t ask for a better dad and husband!
