tremendously 4!!!

from this...


















to this...








november 19th...

our third small blessing turned FOUR!

we celebrated Miguel in our usual family way...

he got to pick breakfast: pancakes, eggs and sausage. (of course!)

and dinner: pizza. (his favorite)

and dessert: chocolate cake(he decorated it himself! he actually asked for a black cake...this was as close as i could come).


the friend he picked to join the dinner was Daniel, a sweet new friend from preschool!


it was a great day!




he loved showing everybody how old he was,by lifting his shirt and showing his number four written on his chest!

we love you buddy, and we are so glad you are in our lives...

happiest place on earth

our awesome cousin Joseph (joe-phish as some in our home like to call him) flew down to our end of callie for a 48 hour birthday celebration complete with a trip to DisneyLand and the beach!






even though some famous Mouse claims to live at the "happiest place on earth", after 48 hours with Joe and his awesome mom, we are pretty sure that our place is way happier than Mickey's!!








we love you Joe!!!!!!









Happy 11th b-day...thanks for spending it with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
