Gerson & Elviz -- August 2008

These clowns are absolutely adorable!!!!!!

He's THREE!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Brayden Boy!!!

You are a beautiful, sweet, perfect boy:)

We love you all the way, all the time, no matter what!!!

Fun with Friends

We had another fun-filled Saturday, but I did not take many pictures. Brayden is a wanderer and Parker is a runner, so that might have something to do with it . . . hopefully Linda and Jenn will post their pictures soon (hint, hint).

We went to a great park in Richmond and met up with some wonderful families who have children that lived in the hogar where the boys are. I just love these kids, so it was amazing to get to see them with their families. . . not to mention the fact that I have been email friends with some of the mommas for a looooong time, and it was great to actually talk to them in person!

I cannot wait to show this picture to Gerson . . . he will be so excited to see his friends!David & Sara are master English-speakers! They are doing great!Sweet Sara - I love this girl so much! She is SUPER SMART, beautiful, funny, and such a giggle-box. . . and she is so sweet. I can't wait to show this one to Elviz. He loves Sara so, so much.It was great to get to spend time with these families today. Of course, I was a little sad not having my boys there, but there was far more joy -- to see these children be so loved and to see these families doing so well was a real blessing!

Thank you E Family, B Family, A Family, & H Family for a fun day!!!! You are all doing such a great job as parents to these wonderful children :)

FFF - Having a Ball

This weeks FFF theme is Having a Ball, and I instantly thought about Brayden and all of the fun that he used to have with the ball pit (aka the hamster wheel). Man, oh, man - he loved that toy!

You can see more FFF links here at Sarah's blog!!!

A Whole Lot of Handsome

Here is a whole lot of handsome all in one post -- all of these pictures were taken during July.

Ziploc kisses . . .

always make them smile :)Elviz hangin' with his posseHe finally got the Transformer that he asked for!

This picture was taken right after Gerson came to the rescue when a girl tried to take Elviz's toy. . .

Yeah, you don't mess with my little brother!

I love the ripped jeans look . . .

5 days later and he's still carrying around the bag???Gerson is growing up!!! He is incredibly beautiful :)Elviz is a little charmer . . .

Isn't he, ladies? :)

HermanosJust look at those eyes --
This one cracks me up -- such a Elviz face!These boys are too cute!

Gerson actually ran and changed into this shirt for this picture -- he wants to look good, you know!

Thank you so much to Jane, Peggy, and Linda for taking these pics!

This little clip is from this morning. Parker G is a dancing machine :)

Too Much Fun for Pictures!

Yesterday, the babies & I went to the zoo with some friends . . . and we had so much fun that I forgot to take pictures! It really was such a great day. LaStacia and I have been e-mail friends for over 2 years now, but this is the first time that we had met in real life. Isn't it crazy how you can go through so much with a friend without ever meeting them? I am so glad that we finally met and got our babies together to play :)

The only pictures that I took were at the splash park. Somehow though, I only got a few with someone looking at the camera and those are all of Parker . . . maybe that is because I had to keep my eye on her at all times (she's a runner, you know). I did manage to get one pic with all of the kids together --

Parker, Brayden, Caroline, and Sophie

The kids had a lot of fun together, and they were all incredibly good all day long! I wish I had actually gotten some pics of the girls because they are both so, so cute!

LaStacia - Thank you so much! For inviting us, for treating us all day, and for giving us gifts! We had a great time, and I am so glad to have finally met you! Your girls are precious - you are so blessed :)

FFF - Sleepy heads :)

The real theme is crazy hair or bed head, but since I've already used my favorite crazy hair picture as a FFF here, I'm going to alter the theme :)

Here are pictures of the boys waking up from their naps . . . I can't tell you how precious these are to me!!!

Elviz woke up with a smile :)

but Gerson wanted more sleep!I just love these boys!

As always, thank you so, so, so much Jane!!!

And Congratulations again :)
