Melting

Antonio has been working very hard at losing some extra weight he'd put on over the years.  His office participated in a weight loss challenge and the competition was just enough motivation to get himself moving!  Over the past year, he has really gotten into the world of road biking and really enjoys his time riding.  When the weather is nice enough he rides his bike to work.  Here are the before and after photos of his weight loss that were posted within the company.  They haven't announced the official winners yet, but we are fairly certain that he got 1st place!  (and yay that there is a cash prize for that)  He lost 47lbs.

Graduation

Gambit achieved the mark of success and graduated from Little Lambs Preschool!  He had such a wonderful time at this school and I'm actually very sad he won't be going anymore.  Many great experiences, memories, and friends were made here.

Last day of school and ready for their Luau.



His awesome and amazing teachers.

Receiving his medal.

Camping Fun

Antonio took Gambit on his own Daddy/Son camping trip.  Despite it being cold and rainy, I think they had fun.  Gambit just enjoys any kind of one-on-one time.

Uncle Camby came home!  But, he's leaving again soon for his mission in Panama.

Rocket Turns Two

My baby turned two. Despite my telling him he was not allowed to grow up, he's done so anyway.  It was a really bittersweet day for me, and I may have cried a bit, but all in all he had a blast!  We partied for the whole weekend with friends and family.

 This little man is such a joy.  He's talking non stop.  Loves motorcycles.  Loves his daddy. Teases his big brothers.  Gives hugs and kisses.  Has no interest in sitting on a toilet.  Has a very active imagination! 

A New Kitchen

I've been wanting to remodel the kitchen since the day we moved in. Two years later and my dream has come true! Thank you to Antonio who put in many hours of work removing cabinets, refinishing parts of damaged wood floors, moving plumbing, helping to install the new cabinets, and tiling the back splash. It sure is nice to have such a handy hubby, saved us a lot of money!

The Almost finished product:

We still have to grout the back splash, finish putting on all the hardware, and eventually refinish the rest of the hardwood floors and do something about the ugly light fixture.

We put in granite counters, new cabinets, and moved the peninsula to create more counter top and cabinet space. I love it!

Our last few weeks

Gambit spent a lot of time admiring his Easter egg loot. He also spends a lot of time watching PBS Kids.

Don't ever come between a boy and his trains. While hanging out at Daddy's office downtown, Rocket stared at the trains going by. He greeted each one as they pulled in and said goodbye as they left.

My Monster.

Gorgeous Baby Girl at Easter. We love having our cousins near!

Rocket has a new found fascination with pockets. He always wants to wear pants that have pockets and walks around with his hands in them. Too cute.

Gambit helped me clean out the garden boxes from last year, and we found some yummy treasures! There were a whole bunch of carrots that had grown over the winter.

Rocket likes to "help" push the cart. He refuses to actually sit in it.

A happy boy on Easter morn!
