Special Updates and Occasions!

Wow! Where do I start? So much to update! First, we celebrate Tyler's 2nd birthday on April 8th. Although I'm a little sad, he is growing so fast, I'm sure he has lots of special memories in store for us in the coming year!










We were excited to be able to spend time one-on-one with him for his birthday by taking him to the Wilmington Children's museum. Boy! Did he have a blast, and we enjoyed watching him have so much fun!





He loved having people sing to him this year. You can tell he loves being the center of attention already! He knows already he has to share the spotlight with a big sister!











One of his favorite presents this year was a hand-built airplane from pop-pop. He was too cute with it!

Another favorite was a BIG buzz light year with lots of sounds and noises!

We also gave him a new hot wheels bike complete with lights and sounds. Now we just have to wait for him to be able to reach the pedals!

Easter was a lot of fun this year. We started off by dying eggs. Both kids got very creative with the colors, stamps and stickers!

We were also able to visit both grandmothers and go to an Easter Egg hunt and see the Easter Bunny. Both kids of course, had a blast!

We spent Easter at home this year just the four of us. It was very nice and very relaxing. We just spent the day doing things as a family.

One of Tyler's favorite Easter presents was bubbles from pop-pop! He got really good at blowing them!

Gabby's favorite was a set of squinkies which she chooses to share all the time with her brother!

I must saw Gabby looked absolutely beautiful Easter Morning! I loved the color Green on her!

Julio surprised me and came home the day before our Anniversay with Flowers! He is amazing and the flowers were beautiful!

The best part was the hand written note that said he would marry me all over again, and that the past 9 years was the best years of his life!

We got to go away over-night on our Anniversary on April 27th to a couples resort in the Poconos. This is the third time we have been to one and as always, it doesn't disappoint! It is so romantic, so relaxing and so much fun!

We had fun competing against each other in ping-pong, pool, racing game, and mini-golf. We had a romantic dinner seated by ourselves. The food is absolutely amazing!

Our room was divided into two levels with a living room on the first and the round bed, double heart whirlpool and heated indoor pool on the second!

This was a picture taken at dinner.

We had a blast. Although we missed the kids so much, it was hard to come back to reality. It was so nice thought to be able to get away just the two of us. It felt so good to talk, laugh and have fun!







The day after was bitter-sweet for me. It marked the anniversary of the death of my mom. Although it has been 13 years, there are so many reasons I miss her more each year. There are so many questions and things I haven't been able to get closure on. I can only hope that she is looking down on me and smiles when she sees what an amazing husband I have and how special Gabrielle and Tyler are. I hope I have made her proud some and I hope she sees how hard I am working to become the best mother, wife and Christian woman I can be. I LOVE YOU MOM.
