Backyard fun!

Look how happy she is to be putting a non-food item in her mouth... Mommy swiped it! :)
A friend gave us this basketball hoop last night and here is Noah's first session... I have multiple shots of him getting that ball right in the hoop-hoop (as he calls it) and he is GOOD! He likes to have it on the highest setting... 6 ft but I think it is at 4 or 5 ft here... :)

Donnie's friend, Josh rode his new bike over... I can't believe I let my little baby boy sit on that giant thing... ahh! =}

She has made her way under just about everything she can fit under... :)

Elia and I walked over to look for baby turtles while the kids rode their bikes... found no babies, but how cool is this...

Another package from Grandma!!! She is the bomb!!! Noah put these pj's on right away! Here he is laying down to show us how big and tall he is... he does this a lot and at random times, like during breakfast... haha! :) Saturday, May 7th

Mother's Day!

Elia crawled from the living room past the stairway into the dining room and was thrilled to get her hands on the vacuum cleaner. Here is evidence of her crawling into the bathroom... she is traveling all over the house!!
Monday, May 9th
Elia has discovered the fun of the potting soil in our living room plant! hehe! Nap time! Pure SWEETNESS!!! Our Sweet Elia is teething... she wanted to be held all day long... here she is about to fall asleep on her sister that evening... just like she did when she was a newborn. AWE!
Tuesday, May 10th
Playing outside! :) Not sure where Noah was... maybe napping. :)

Liliana loves the helicopter looking plant seeds that fell from the Spring budding... or something... haha! :)

Just like her big brother with that door stopper, only these are not the kind you can unscrew... he loved unscrewing them... at 7 months old! Our sweet little teether... she had her first real sleepless night last night and today... she wanted to be held most of the day and would not sleep except in my arms... of course I enjoyed it knowing it was a "moment" I will soon really miss.... awe... I could cry. Here we are that night at about 10 p.m.... trying to get her to fall asleep... Mommy was tired too. Cozy! Donnie took this photo all on his own without me asking... SO sweet!!!

Wednesday, May 11th
Elia crawled from the office, down the little hall, under her highchair and this is where I found her!!! It's official... she is alllll over the house!! :) Love it!!!

Trying to get her leg up to climb the stairs... uh-oh! :) Yummy corn!

Friday, May 13th

Hit the park that morning... while there, we discovered Liliana had a fever and went home to give her tylenol, ice water and a couple of naps... she felt better by the next day mid morning.

Mother's Day

We had a wonderful, super-sweet, peaceful, cozy, lazy, fun, low-key family day at home today for Mother's Day. :) Donnie made breakfast, we had lunch out in the backyard on a blanket, DiGiorno pizza for dinner and lots of cozy family time in between and we watched the Mavericks destroy the Lakers in a history making game.

Here I am with our 3 kiddos! wow! I am so blessed and SO honored to be their Mommy! Throughout the day, as I do many days, I pondered on the great gift of Motherhood. Donnie said that I love being a mom "too much"... He said it when I was joyfully feeding Elia her dinner because it is fascinating to him that someone can thoroughly love every part of being a mommy so much! I do! Changing diapers, spit-up, all of it, is truly and honor!Handsome Daddy! :)

She had her shades on for at least 2 hours and not once tried to take them off... her hat too!

Donnie took Noah to wash his car and Liliana, Elia and I went for a neighborhood stroll. Elia was so chilled out for the entire walk. She loved it! The sun was shining bright and the temp was perfect! It ended up being the sweetest nature walk! Liliana was busy the entire time observing and commentating on her every observance and collected different items along the way. When we got home, she and I glued it all onto a paper and she wrote "Mother's Day 2011" on it. So sweet!

After dinner we played a few games of Thomas the Train Uno... Look at Elia under the table! :) She had been traveling everywhere... will post on that separately. :) Donnie and Noah brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers... no picture of them yet, will post soon. In summary, a WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL day!!! :) Blessed, blessed, blessed.......
