Easter '09

Jesus is risen...He is risen, indeed! :) Easter was great! Patrick enjoyed 3 Easter egg hunts this year: at church, inside the house, and in the backyard! Of course the Easter baskets were fun, too. PT even helped Daddy color the eggs from Grandpa Tom's hens...so exciting! We went to church and had brunch at our house afterwards with family. It was a beautiful day to relax outside. We are so lucky to live in sunny SoCal!

Fun with Friends :)

We so enjoy spending quality time with friends. Here are pics of our recent trip to Irvine Park with Andrea and James. It was so fun riding the train and feeding the ducks! Shane and Madden (my friend Melissa's son) had fun playing together, too. And my best friend Delshad (and very cool boyfriend Matt) came to visit the boys...and Mommy and Daddy had a night out on the town in Laguna Beach with them!! Thanks Grandma and Papa for babysitting! :)

Patrick's 3rd Birthday!

We had fun celebrating Patrick's 3rd birthday 2 days in a row! We had a family party at Grandma Cylene and Papa Pat's house with PT's cousins -- Elise, Kate, and Luke -- and Aunt Jacki and Uncle David. And the next day we had a big party at our house with aunts, uncles, and grandparents from both sides of the family. PT chose "Go, Diego, Go!" for the theme and helped Mommy make his cupcakes. Such a big boy! We can't believe it's been 3 years already. He is such a blessing to us. :)
