Derek turned 3 years old!

My little one just turned 3 years old today and he celebrated his b-day last Friday at his daycare center... here's some pics...
I'm so proud of my baby boy and so happy to see him growing... wow time flies!
I also posted some other pics on FB... it's just that it goes faster and Scarlett does not allow me to stay on the computer for so long...

Daddy's visit and Derek's early b-day celebration!

James came for a visit, this time it was a longer visit (1 week) that I spent doing paperwork... you just gotta love it! anyways, besides that it was very nice to have daddy here and we already miss him very much...
On other things, since daddy is not going to be able to visit us for Derek's b-day which happens next month, we ended up celebrating him, well the first celebration of his 3rd b-day, there will be another one or ones? Let's see...
Here's some pics ant there are older ones that I didn't get to post before.

Mother's day festival

It's been the first time that I had attended a mother's day festival, this of course, happened at the day care center that Derek attends and although I think Derek was a bit confused with all the people around and kids crying, he managed to do well and participate as much as possible, he was even crying at the beginning but then he did just fine.
Here's some pics and other ones that I took before.

Attending a baptism...

This time we attended my niece's baptism in Mexico city, as usual, traveling with the kiddos for longer than an hour it becomes quite an experience; though normally Scarlett is the well behaved one, it turned out to be that Derek was a shiner this time... well, it was good and we had a good time and a good meal too... there was a mariachi band playing there and my dad sang a couple of songs with them, thank God I took the kids to the park nearby to avoid embarrassment (just kidding) but yes, he did sing a couple of songs.. anyways here's some pics... I posted more on my facebook account since it takes less time to do it...





The star of the party, her name is Melinda Ivanna





Scarlett trying to climb up the stairs and nearly had an accident...





Me and the kiddos...




Scarlett looking gorgeous, though I don't know if that band on her hair looks good or not, but grandma got it last minute and we had no choice...




Dere playing in the bounce house, it took quite a few attempts to get him off...

NO LONGER A BABY & EASTER EGG HUNT...

My little Scarlett started to walk on April 1st (she actually took longer than what I expected) and although I'm very happy for that, at the same time it means that she's already a toddler, sniff sniff, no more baby Scarlett... anyways; on other things we spent Easter afternoon with Diego and Mario to be able to have the Easter Egg Hunt with them and it went pretty good!

Such a grown up...

It was hard to get pics since she walks very fast and always tries to get me...


Derek finding an egg...



Diego found only one too...


And of course Mario found more....

SPRING PARADE!

Derek started going to a day care center since he was getting quite bored here without kids around, and though it's been only over a week, he already had his first parade. And I didn't get to go since I hit my little toe and got all swollen and black too and I wasn't able to walk so it was grandma that took him, so I had to be happy with a few pictures, PTL!


He was a cute little cat

Of course it was a pain getting him to put the head on, but a lolly pop made it.


Even Scarlett didn't like it.

Grandma had a good laugh at his tail!

I tried to get a picture before leaving, but it was impossible.

I got this picture the other day when we went to Central de Abastos in Cuautla, Seiko I'm sure you remember this place, that's why I took it.

Derek smiling, it's hard to get him to smile most of the time.

Of b-days and daddy's visit!


James came for a 4 days visit for Scarlett's b-day, we had a great celebration although it meant lost of cooking, baking, serving, entertaining, etc.... and lots of cleaning of course, but it was worth it. We also celebrated James' b-day at the same time, well it was mainly a surprise b-day cake for him! It was a very short visit because of Jame's work, but anyways we enjoyed it.
Before leaving, we went to Chapultepec's zoo in Mexico city and then to the airport, sniff sniff....

WE LOVE YOU DADDY AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH!

Well now for the pictures and well, they go from the end to the beginning, sorry I have no time to rearrange it!


It was very hard to say good-bye....
