halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween. Enjoy the picture.

Soccer

A few weeks ago our friends the Ides emailed us asking if we wanted to sign Ricardo up for Soccer so he and Ethan could play together. We didn't get to see them too much this summer and it's about time Ricky starts some sports so we decided to sign him up. Ethan and Ricky ended up on the same team, and we even got to pick our team, so Ethan's dad, Brian, is the coach and Ricky has a friend from his old preschool and a classmate from his new school on the team. The Pictures below are from this past Saturday, it was their first practice/game/gathering. Looks like our Saturday mornings are booked from now on.

Adrien decided that he wanted to play too. By the time he gets to play, looks like he'll be a pro.

Beach Fun

We had lots of Beach Fun this summer. However most of the summer wasn't hot enough to spend time at the beach. So we really have spent some quality weekends at the end of August and beginning of September at the beach, below are a few pictures.

Adrien is 2!

My baby turned 2 on May 18th. We had a little birthday party at home for him, which we recorded. I am unable to upload the video, but it's been posted on Facebook, which I'm sure most of you have seen already.
This past Saturday, Jack and Margi had their annual Memorial day gathering and included Adrien's birthday for everyone to share. Doug brought a nice festive cupcake for him. He was a little puzzled since he'd already celebrated is birthday but he quickly understood that he got to blow candles again. He got some nice trucks for his birthday with lots of lights and sounds. One of them plays a song that Adrien enjoys dancing to.

strawberry Fest

On May 16th we went to the Annual Strawberry festival in Oxnard. We haven't been there since 2004 where Ricardo was about 5 months. Now 5 years later, we still love it. The experience began with Jean-Marc's first bungee jump and ended with the boys fast asleep in the car. All in all a good day!

Mothers day

So I felt I needed to put up some mother's day pictures but as always I thought about taking Mother's day pictures AFTER mothers day....so yesterday I took some pictures of the flowers I got for mother's day and of my boys. Adrien wasn't cooperating as you can tell in the pictures. But the flowers are beautiful.

I got breakfast in bed Sunday morning, and Ricky even shared his chocolate chip muffin with me, how lucky am I? Ricky picked the card, it played Lean on Me....

After church we drove by a restaurant I've always wanted to go, so we went in and had lunch, it's called Ngoma, it's an African restaurant...I was in heaven.

Enjoy the pics,

And I hope everyone reading this, mothers or not, had a blessed Mother's Day!!

Pictures - Finally

You wanted Photos, here they are, these were taken tonight. We had a photo shoot of sorts. This is a rare opportunity where both of them are on my lap at the same time and stay long enough to sit for pictures.
