My boys and me

We had a fun, busy weekend! It was filled with all things we like. Felix LOVES having time with just us. He doesn't want to do anything on the weekends without "mommy" or "daddy".
We had swimming Saturday morning, which he wasn't so into. We left a little early and headed to 96th and Sandy, where there was a car show going on. I follow Tow Mater on FB. He said he was going to be at the car show, so of course we had to head over! Felix was loving it! He talked about it all the way to brunch.
Walter had been wanting to make a little trip to Multnomah Falls for a while, that is where our Saturday afternoon was spent. We took a trip there last year with the older kids, but they weren't interested in climbing to the top. We made it to the top this trip. I don't remember ever climbing to the top as a kid, but this was something absolutely beautiful. The climb up was hard with Felix in his stroller, but we kept trucking! Lots of rocks, trees and water to dip our feet in at the top. Once we were up there we parked the stroller and climbed around. Felix and Walter skipped rocks and I just enjoyed watching my boys and the beautiful scenery. The walk down or should I say run down went a lot easier and Felix loved the fast pace. On our way home we stopped for dinner, where we were even serenaded by a mariachi band. Totally our style and something we LOVE! Felix and Walter were happy as can be!
It was a long day, but one of the best! I love my time with them, watching them bond and hearing Felix say "Agua Fall"! There is no love like ours and it keeps growing!

GDM <3's FRG and WRGA

Today I was looking through pictures and ran across one that makes my heart melt. FRG is a beautiful child! He has been a cutie since the day he was born! My mom took this picture while I was at work one day. I received it via text and it made my heart warm!

WRGA and I have been trying to grow a veggie garden this year. We started it early and weren't sure how successful it would be, but it is growing quite well. Today WRGA pulled up our first radish! Yay!

My boys just make me happy. After our fun weekend, I missed them like crazy today!

Mother's Weekend

This weekend was the best. Walter and I both felt that it seemed longer than usual, my guess is because we packed a lot in. We had a great time with the kids.
On Saturday we wanted to spend the day in the sun, so we headed to Blue Lake. As a child Blue Lake used to shut down every Summer because there were kids pooping in the water...it seems to be better taken care of now. They have a spray ground for everyone (with chlorinated water) and the lake that only people over 5 years can go in. We always get there early and pick a spot right in the middle so the kids can go in both directions. We packed a cooler full if lunch and water and just made a day of it...good people watching too! After sunning all day we had dinner and Walter took the kids home to be with their mom. It was the first Mother's Day in years that we didn't have them, it seemed strange not being with them.
I woke up this morning with Felix telling me, "Happy Modder's Day." I love my baby to pieces! Walter and I created a very sweet, caring and loving little boy. We had a picnic lunch at Washington Park, played in the grass and ate Sno Cones. We bought Felix a new swimming pool and bought ourselves a new BBQ! A dinner celebration with Mor Mor, GG and Aunt Mad was the ending to our very fun day!
Being a mother is my favorite job in the world and I have my best friend to share parenting with! Walter really knows how to make me feel special. I love all the mom's in my life and hope your day was filled with love!
