Bike Ride Anyone

We got a helmet from one of my co-workers for Anthony. It is actually for a toddler, but Tank's head is big enough and it fits him just perfectly. Incase you have not caught on, Anthony has a lot of nicknames; Tank, Big T, T-bone. Not even really sure how they all started, but they all suit him just perfect. He loves the helmet and loves going on bike rides with DADA. He gets all excited and holds onto the bar. He actually rocks back and forth and almost knocks the bike over. And yes, only after I took this picture did I realize I put the helmet on backwards! Typical Mommy style.

Happy 1st Birthday Anthony

Anthony turned one! We celebrated a little early because Aunt Stephanie and Jo were in town for the Gate River Run. We had a great time celebrating with family and friends. As usual, Anthony loved having the spot light on him and Alexandra did everything she could to get it off of him.

7th Anniversary of the Gate River Run

Daddy has been running the Gate River Run (9.3 miles) for seven years in a row now. This year was a special event, Aunt Stephanie and Jo came up. The boys entered a friendly little competition and Robert convinced Jo to run it with him. They had a great time and both did great.

Who Said Princesses are for Girls?

We were fortunate enough to get Izzy's Disney Princess Castle and drove it all the way up from Miami earlier this month. We got it all cleaned up and put it on the back porch for Alexandra to play with. Little did we know, Anthony thought it was ultra cool. It has doors and windows that open and shut, which is one of his ultimate favorite things right now. He played in it for a long time before moving on to destroy something else.

Happy Birthday Abuela

We all went down to Miami to celebrate Abuela's 50th birthday. The party was held in East Ft Lauderdale. A lot of family and friends got together to celebrate. Anthony had on his first jacket and tie today. I had run to Target with Aunt Stephanie right before hand and got lucky - found it on the clearance rack. I thought why not - he will look cute! We all had a great time dancing and the girls even put on a special little performance. Anthony fell asleep early, it was past his bedtime. He woke up right before we left.

It's Not a Limbo - It's a Train

Alexandra and Anthony had their first ride in a limo today. It was Abuela's 50th birthday party and we were going to arrive in style. Alexandra and Izzy sat in the front and were so excited about the magical lights and all the space. Izzy kept saying "We are in a limbo, we are in a limbo." True to form, Alexandra had to disagree. She looked at me and said - "Mommy, this is not a limbo right? This is a train. Izzy, it's not a limbo - it's a train." Kids - they really say the cutest things.

From Baby to Man

Anthony had his first haircut today. Daddy has been wanting to cut his hair for weeks and finally got the opportunity while we were in Miami. Grandpa and Daddy took him to the barber shop. All the ladies loved him, of course! When they returned, I realized they had left my baby there and brought home a young man.
