Happy Birthday Tio Daniel

Happy 28th Birthday to our Tio Daniel!! We hope you have an awesome day!! We made you a poster and took a picture with it. Thanks for being so great to us and for always playing baseball with us. You're a great uncle and we know you're going to be an awesome dad to our baby cousin. Here is what we have to say:

Alex - "Happy Birthday Daniel, I luf him"

Matt - "I just wanted to say thanks for always letting us jump on you and I know it gets on your nerves sometimes, but we like it too. And thanks for playing baseball with us.

Zach - "Happy Birthday Daniel. Thanks for playing with us alot of times."

Adriana - "Thanks for holding me on my birthday when everyone was singing to me. I was a little scared"

Adriana Update

Well, we thought we would update you on how fast Adri is growing up. She will be 13 months on Saturday and has finally decided to start walking. She is really brave when Mom and Dad are helping her with it. She hasn't really decided to take off on her own yet, but she'll be doing it any day now. She doesn't really say anything other than Alex, Matt and Zach. But this weekend Dad bought her a little babydoll and she kept saying Ba Bee and hugging the baby and kissing her. She will also cuddle the baby and pat her back when we say "mimi baby". She communicates well, by shaking her head and pointing to things she wants. You'll see in the picture below she loves fried chicken just like us and Mom. She shakes her head at the things she's done with or doesn't want anymore. Oh, and Tio Gabe. She shook her head at Grandma Rosa's yesterday when Gabe came into the room, like she didn't want him there. (Poor Gabe - we think she hurt his feelings). She loves going to our baseball games and hanging out with us wherever we go. Her hair is still growing but Mom said she was going to get her hair cut because it is sooo hot here and she sweats like crazy. Anyway, we love our Baby Sista and can't remember what our life was like before her. Even when she's mean to us - and believe us, she can be mean. Mom says it's ok because she needs to be like that in a house full of boys. Whatever that means! Talk to ya'll soon!! The Gang!

Adri's Walking!!!!

Happy Birthday Dad

If we had all the money in the world, what would we buy Daddy for his birthday?

Alex -"a baseball hat, cause he lost his other one".
Zach - "well, what does he like? A lot of Ranger stuff".
Matt - "a lot of sports stuff".
Adri - "a book on how to comb baby girl's hair".

We had fun hanging out with Dad on his birthday. We all went to McDonald's for breakfast and played on the playground. Mom made some blueberry muffins and put candles on them. We sang Happy Birthday and then pigged out on the muffins. They are Dad's favorite. We were going to go to the drive-in to watch Kung Fu Panda, but the clouds and lightning rolled in so we decided to wait. Instead, on Sunday we went to $1 bowling at the bowling alley down the street from our house. It was fun! Of course, Dad wanted to go to a Ranger game for his birthday like we do every year, but decided to wait until the end of the month. We don't get to go on our annual boys only trip this year cause Tio Pat isn't here anymore, so we're taking the girls (Mom & Adri) with us this time.
Happy Birthday Dad!!! You may be old, but you're still cool in our book!
Love ya, The Gang!!
