Hello 2014

Sunday, January 26, 2014

 

Hello All! It’s been a long while since I have updated the blog. That is my one goal this year is to update my blog more. The older the boys get and the busier we are with nightly homework and reading, the harder it is to take a break and upload images. I promise I will try my best to stay on top of it in 2014. This year I decided to take my photography journey back to where I started, which is documenting our little life. So, I will be doing a project 52 with My Four Hens, one picture a week for an entire year. Here are my first few weeks, minus one that I accidentally didn’t save or accidentally deleted.

Oh Brother

A brother is a friend given by Nature. ~Jean Baptiste Legouve


Yes, sometimes my boys get really dirty, and I let them stay in pj's all day if they want. Yet I still take a picture of them, because they are always beautiful and perfect to me.

Happy Easter

Monday, April 25, 2011

I love Easter! Actually I think I love every holiday, but Easter is definitely a top contender. This year we just had a small cook out at my sister’s house. Of course, no Easter is complete without an Easter egg hunt and Cascarones. Dylan was not a fan of the cascarones, he wanted nothing to do with it. During the egg hunt, when the other kids were running like crazy, Dylan played it cool and walked. He tried opening some of the eggs to eat the candy, and even giving some of his finds to someone else. Diego on the other hand enjoyed every minutes of smashing and throwing cascarones at everyone. 

I kind of waited until the very last minute to make their baskets, so I did not have a huge selection of goodies to choose from. I tried to only filled it with things they would use on a daily basis, instead of just disposable junk. They scored candy, kites, sidewalk chalk, a duck for Dylan, a stuffed dinosaur for Diego and Easter themed rubber ducks. I love the holiday themed rubber ducky’s. Every holiday since Diego was born I have bought him and Dylan one if I could find them.

My attempts of taking a picture of my boys together never seem to be successful.

Good thing the thunderstorms held off until after our Easter fun was done.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday Daddy

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Daddy celebrated his 33rd this birthday on March 6th! Daddy and I have been celebrating birthdays for the last 10 years so we don’t go too crazy for gifts like we used to back in the day. This year Diego planned our birthday celebration for Daddy. Diego decided he wanted to take Daddy to the Fort Worth Zoo to celebrate his big day. I think he kind of thought it was his big day, but Daddy still had a wonderful time.

My attempt of capturing a picture of Daddy and his boys…

I’ am kind of obsessed with skinny jeans for Diego. He can definitely pull if off.

The penguins were super cute! Diego and I spent a good amount of time there, but he did not like when the penguins came to close to the glass.

Later that evening, we finished off Daddy’s big day with cupcakes, just the four of us. Diego insisted we have candles to make Daddy’s big day extra special. He picked out Daddy’s cupcakes and the color of candles. We sang Happy Birthday to Daddy, and the boys helped blow out the candles.

It is nice to be able to have a low key, fun and relaxed celebration with just my boys and I. Sometimes the best gifts and memories are not the material things and extravagant parties, but the simply how we choose to spend it together.

Happy Birthday to my Husband and to the best Daddy! We Love You!
