Cinco de Mayo!

We were not planning on doing anything for Cinco de Mayo this year, except maybe have a few margaritas!! But our little party planner Elena had other plans! She was asking me how to spell things and I found out she was making an invitation for her best friend to come over for a Cinco de Mayo party! Ha! Since we didn't have anything planned, and she lives across the street,  we decided to go ahead and have a little ''fiesta''. I mean - Elena had already made a party banner! (This was her reasoning!) I decided to make enchiladas and also decided since we were already having a party I might as well invite my friends too! So I invited Rowe and her kids and Marie over too! Now it really was a party! Here is Elena's banners that she worked so hard on! :) (I helped her with the outline of the letters but it was all her idea!)
We had chips, guacamole, salsa, margaritas, Mexican beers and homemade enchiladas and rice - yummy!!
 
 It turned into a really fun night, especially for Elena and I'm glad we went ahead and let her throw her party! :)
How cute are these three? Jack, Ella and Dom - party animals!
Cheers!
How cool is this pop-up baby seat?? Awesome!
These boys are just too cute!
I didn't even get a picture of Robert this night! He has this crazy sombrero/cowboy hat that is hilarious - but he was hiding from my camera!
 I really enjoyed catching up with two of my best friends!
 My how our Cinco de Mayo parties have changed over the years!! ;) For the better of course!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Cinco.

 We had a pretty laid back Cinco de Mayo this year. Just hanging out and enjoying family time. Earlier in the month we went to Old Chicago and I just had to take pictures of the kids with these cutouts - hilarious!!
 
 We grilled fajitas that night and had some homemade rice and beans, so yummy!
 Then our neighbors stopped by for some play time and smores. :) (Dominic stuck to the hula hoop)
 The girls were very serious!
 Dom was entranced by the fire - (never mind the Corona in the baby chair! Ha ha!)
 I think these two put away about 5 smores each!
While the babies stuck to marshmallows.
Mmmmm....marshmallow!
 Maybe next year we will have more people over and have a fiesta!!

Massive May Catch-up!

 May ended up being one of the busiest months ever!! So in the effort to catch up I am going to summarize all of the busy-ness in pictures! At least up to Memorial Day Weekend, then I should be back on track! May included ~
Cinco de Mayo - :)
Start of the 3rd trimester!! We are getting so close!! Had a final sonogram and he looks like he will have very large feet with long toes - just like Daddy :) He is also already approximately 4.5 lbs with 9 weeks still left to grow! Yikes - he might be a big boy!
Mother's Day - Love my homemade gifts from Miss Elena!!
Last day of preschool!!!
A very long business trip to the Cincinnati area ~ I passed a huge test that I needed for work! Whew! So glad that it is over!! (This little trip also included bad weather and an unexpected overnight stay in Chicago - with no luggage!)
A good friend's wedding - including a penguin as a party guest! (Elena even got to pet him!)
Sofia's 1st Birthday!
Fun with friends at the lake ~
and with Grandma too!
Getting to hang with my Newman softball teammates for dinner!
A couple of back yard projects for Daddy and his little helper!
(More to come on these!)
and of course I can't leave out The Month of Lindsay...
Now you can see why it was pretty much impossible to blog! :) I must say that I missed having time to blog and am glad to be (almost) caught up!

Cinco de Mayo!

Last week we decided last minute to throw together a little fiesta to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! We had such a blast hanging out in the backyard with our good friends! I even got to put Elena in her handmade Mexican dress she got as a gift last Christmas! :)

There were babies and kids everywhere!! (and I didn't even get pictures of all of them!)




We had some amazing food, yummy drinks and great company!



The weather was also perfect! We are hoping to start doing this every year!
