Melissa turns 30!!!

August 6, 2010. I will confess I was not thrilled, for months, about the idea of turning 30! But I came to understand that it is just a number, because I don't feel 30! I am happy to be where I am, and to have my little family.
 On Saturday, we did something fun in the afternoon (info upon request) and then we had dinner at Denny's with our friends, the Trahan's.

So, I pretty much celebrated the whole weekend. Wally and I went on a double date with my brother and Susannah, and we had fun! After going to the temple, we went to Chipotle and enjoyed yummy burritos,

and then QUICKLY cut a cake (that Wally bought me) at my parents. Oh, and I should mention getting a cute card from Wally and one from my boys, along with bags of chocolate and a helium balloon with the # 30 on it!!

Sunday, Wally's family had a special, delicious dinner and cake for me! Thanks to those who cooked! They made my favorites and really made me feel special and there was a card and gift for me too!

Fun, fun, fun!! Thanks to all that helped me feel special that day and weekend, even all the messages through facebook and phone calls!
                    

Un poquito de todo (A little bit of everything)

So I haven't posted pictures in a while and the kids do so many cute memorable things, it's hard to keep up with "blogging", at least for me. So here, have a look at different shots, from the summer.

Noah said "Here Weston, here is your spot!".

Getting out of bed, ready for breakfast... Is like a nest back there in that head!

No comments on this pizza, besides the fact that it was homemade, that my kitchen aid is great, and that it was a chicken, bacon and extra cheese pizza!

Can it get any clearer than this? If Noah or anyone asks, "Weston said no". note: his bedroom door, closed.

During the summer Weston was a great help, big brother like most of the time. He helped his little brother get dressed in the morning... Please appreciate the colors!!!!!!!!!!

And let me just say that the following pics are my first shots with my new cam and lens... . Love the new additions! (did no editing)

"Let's play Super Mario Bros Daddy!"

Ps. we were about to leave to a bday party, and it happened to be that they were all wearing white, as the party was at 4pm outside (light colors bounce off sun rays, right?... it was about 200 degrees that day!!!!

At our "probably" the last trip to Dallas, TX

July 31st, we drove to Dallas for Wally's nephew's baby blessing (Emmett Parker), and that Saturday night we all met at a restaurant, where this picture was taken.

July 24th, Weston turned 6!

On that Saturday, my sister and family, and us were invited to Janette's house for a dinner, and I brought dessert, a cake (marbled), in honor of Weston's birthday. And my nice sister Raymie had bought some party hats and the cute plates and stuff... We had a good time. Thanks Janette and Henry (my aunt & uncle) for the nice dinner.

Please make note of the dog...! Sorry Jeanine, he had to party too!

My lovely sister and me!

Upside down...

Evan, Wally's cousin, and Preston too, love playing with Weston and Noah... and this is one way they do! Hang on tight Wes!!! Evan got it all under control!
