Vanessa

Our little princess is growing up so fast! She is the light of my life!

Tony is 1!!!!!

Our little Bear has turned 1 and we just can't believe that an entire year has flown by. It Seems just like yesterday that I was walking into the hospital to give birth to him. We love him with all our hearts and he has truly been a blessing!

Tony and I took Bear to Irvine Railroad park for his Birthday and he loved the train ride!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Although he was not a fan of cake, here are some pictures from Bear's actual birthday! We had a small dinner at home with grandparents, godparents/godsisters, auntie Ashley, Uncle J, Vanessa, and Mommy & Daddy of course! Thank you all for spending your Friday night with our little prince./

My 9 month old Baby Boy!

Time is flying by! Baby Tony is 9 months old and has 2 little teeth sprouting! No more gummy smile but he looks oh so cute! I feel like just yesterday we were waiting for his grand arrival! Now, with 3 months away from his 1st birthday, it's time to start planning his 1st party!

Vanessa's 2nd Recital/Daddy Daughter Dance

Today was an exciting day for all of us! Vanessa was ready to go on the "big stage" and do her thing!I was also ready to get on stage for our daddy /daughter dance! There is no better feeling for me than knowing I was part of a memory that is going to last a lifetime for the both of us. Our dance was kept a secret from Mommy and everyone until the big show and I learned a lot about my daughter and how strong our bond is. She can put her mind on doing something and I know she will succeed. I am very proud of my little girl! She is truly a performer!!

Nessa:
I am very proud of you and impressed! You never seas to amaze me! You are my pride and joy! I enjoyed every rehearsal and every time you sang "Butterfly kisses" sharing the stage with you was truly priceless. I will never forget this day for as long as I live. I love you my princess!

Love,
Daddy

Happy 5th Birthday Laila!!

She is getting so good and LOVES I mean L-O-V-E-S to look at herself in the mirror every Saturday! She is counting down the days until she goes on the big stage for her recital next month!

After teething for two weeks straight, my poor baby final broke his first tooth! And now comes another one right next to the first one! Baby Bear, Momma will miss your contagious gummy yummy smile!!

She is getting pretty good at it!

Grandpa's Boy

Baby Tony loves grandpa and grandpa loves him. They have created such a bond,it's a beautiful thing! Every time Grandpa walks in a room, Baby Tony locks eyes with him and starts to scream, laugh, and stretch his arms out in excitement. While Grandpa was feeding him I captured this moment and it's priceless!

Happy Mother's Day
