Dante's First Birthday Party

To celebrate Dante's first birthday we had an amazing party for him with all of his friends, our friends and family (65 people to be exact!)  It was A LOT of work but soooooo worth it in the end!!  Dante and all of us had SO much fun!!  We are so thankful to know and love such wonderful people who care about Dante.  It's incredible.  We are so blessed!!!

Here are some pics at the party (there are too many to post!!)  

Next stop.....walking.  I can wait for that though....:)

Happy Birthday Dante!! The BIG "ONE"!!!!!

My "baby" turned one on April 24th...I still cant believe it.  We really didn't do much on his actual birthday because we were too busy getting ready for his big party the next day (pics to come on my next posting) but of course we had him open his presents and eat cake!!

Happy birthday my handsome boy....WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

I LOVE this picture!!

Shoveling the cake in...love it!!!

I love this picture too!!!

I think he had more fun eating the stick than playing these.

This was one of his favorite gifts!!

His new chair!!!

You think he got enough???

Come on Spring....

We had awesome weather last week so here are just a few pics us having some fun in the backyard.  A taste of Spring...I cant WAIT for it to get here!!!

Lovely weekend

We had a great weekend.  On Friday night Bob and I went to Katie Downs (yes...a date night!!  Whaaaat??) and had a great dinner.  It was nice to be out with my hubby alone to talk and catch up with some adult conversation.  On Saturday it was beautiful out so we took the kids to the park in the morning and then went to our good friends Eric and Aracelli's house for a get together.  What a great time!!  All the pics are of Bob and Dante because Gabby was upstairs the whole time with the rest of the kids playing.  We never saw her but to pee and eat.  She had a blast with everyone!!  Then on Sunday we took the kids to the Puyallup fair.  Gabby had so much fun petting the animals and she also met Dora!!!  It was fantastic. 

What a wonderful Spring weekend!!!!

Easter Day

Easter day was a lot of fun for us!!  Gabby and Dante had fun looking for there Easter baskets!!  The Easter bunny hid the baskets but also left a trail of eggs to help them out so they could find them faster!!!   We went to church in the morning and met up with all of our friends afterward...then we had a wonderful dinner together that night.  Gabby colored eggs too!!  It was a perfect holiday!!

There cute baskets!!

Gabby's hidden basket...see the eggs (there were a lot more than that!)

Happy Easter!!!

Well we had a fabulous holiday!!  Friday morning we went to an egg coloring Easter party at our friends Tiffany's house.  It was a wonderful time and the kids all loved coloring the eggs and eating chocolate and jelly beans...:)  

All of our wonderful friends!!  Happy Easter!!

Pre-party fun!!!

I loved Gabby's outfit!! 

Then on Saturday we went on an Easter egg hunt!!  Gabby had such a GREAT time!!  She met up with Ellie (of course) and Sawyer and the girls had such a blast running and putting all the eggs in there basket.  Gabby was a little overwhelmed at first but when she saw all the eggs she warmed up to the event very fast!!  Gabby and Dante also met the Easter bunny and, well, the picture says it all.  Dante wasn't too keen with him this year.....maybe next year...:)

Dante is not having it....but it's still such a cute picture!!
