Friends and sand.

As promised the weather was absolutely amazing -- for 2 days! Lol. We reached the upper 70's last week and it was such a tease! Now we are back to windy, cold and believe it or not - SNOW! Yes, we are supposed to get some snow for the next two days. Boo - we are so ready for spring! The warmer weather brought some friends up for Texas! Anthony, Marisol and their little man Andrew came by for a visit. It was so fun to see all the kiddos together! Man are they growing! (and also almost impossible to get a photo of all of them together!)
CJ - 3.5, Estela - 2.5, Elena - 4.5, Dominic - 7 months, Sofia - almost 2 and Andrew - 3 next month!  
It was so fun catching up with the girls too!
 
The next day was amazing! We went by the park for a little fun! Dominic loves the swings so much! 
 
He was even clapping with Grandma he was having so much fun!
 
 This big girl, on the other hand, opted to tackle this giant spider web climbing tower. Last time she attempted she had a little accident and had a nice little bruise under her eye for a while!
 Lets just say she was much more agile and brave than last time!!
 
 My heart might have stopped beating until she put both feet back on that top rope! Yeesh! But she was so proud of herself - and so were Grandma and I!
While Elena was climbing away the little man plopped down and got his first taste of sand! (and yes, it definitely went in the mouth!)
 
  He was absolutely fascinated! So much so that I decided to let him check out the sand in our backyard after his nap. Yup, he was still fascinated!
 
 Nothing better than sandy baby toes. :)
 He also enjoys the dolphin swing too. And mama doesn't have to fish sand out of his mouth every two seconds!
 While we were playing in the sand those little sandy hands of his grabbed some and dumped it on my camera. Which then proceeded to not open. :( and now the lens won't open at all! So upsetting. The rest of the pics will be from my camera on my phone for a while. Trying to decide whether to splurge and get a big fancy D-SLR camera or stick to a smaller point and shoot. Any opinions out there - especially what might be a good starter D-SLR?  I would really appreciate your thoughts!
Later that night we went to Elena's little buddy Justin's 5th birthday party! It was super-hero themed and super fun!
 
Mr. Amazing was excited to be a super-hero for the night!  
Or maybe he was already Iron Man in disguise! Ha ha!  
 The kiddos had fun in the bouncy house.
 and I even took little man in to bounce for a little bit - he loved it!
What a fun way to enjoy some nice weather!
