Louie's Birthday Party

0 comments Posted by The Ramos Family at 5:49 AM

On Sunday, we headed over to Wabun Park/Picnic Area to celebrate Louie's 2nd Birthday (actual birthday is tommorow!). It was an absolutely beautiful day and the kids had a lot of fun playing at the park. After eating and watching Louie open gifts, we headed over to the splash pool. The kids had fun there too but it was pretty cold! But not too cold to eat ice cream from Dairy Queen afterwards! Louie got some pretty cools gifts - a Fireman's jacket, a cool bike/scooter from Creative Kid Stuff and we got him a bit Tonka recycling truck. I think he had a good day! Happy Birthday Louis Daniel!!! Here are some photos from the day:

Visit from Uncle Dan

Uncle Dan, Emily & Louie came over last week to pick up Paul's bike. They bought a Burley bike trailer so they could take the kids over to Wabun Park/Splash Pool, which isn't too far from their house. Since Paul's bike has be collecting dust, we figured it might not be a bad idea to let Dan borrow it so it got some use! They ended up staying for lunch and Uncle Dan spent some time getting Lorenzo to smile/laugh.

Girls Night

Maria & Bella had their first sleepover at a non-family member's house on Saturday night. Maria's classmate, Anna, wanted to have them over for a girls night. She has a younger sister, named Abby, that is 3 years old and she & Bella always have fun playing together. Maria's classmate, Jada, was also there but wasn't spending the night. The minute we walked in the door it was ALL GIRL! They were already putting on play makeup and fingernail polish. I helped Bella with her nailpolish and while I was doing that, Maria asked "when are you leaving mom?" Geez, she's only six years old and she already wants to get rid of me!! Hehehe.

The three first graders (can you believe it?)!

Paul picked the girls up on Sunday morning and Anna's mom, Nicole, said they had gone to bed around 9:45pm but didn't fall asleep until 11pm. That would have been all good if Maria hadn't woken up at 6am and decided to wake up Bella too! Needless to say, no one got much sleep that night and we had a couple of tired girls that couldn't tolerate much that day! Thank goodness we had Marisa's baptism so they got to spend most of the afternoon playing with their cousins. They were in bed by 7pm that night!

Lefty Lorenzo???

One of Lorenzo's favorite things to do is to lay on his butterfly and look at the toys above. A few weeks ago he started reaching for them, grabbing and batting them around - it's kind of funny and cute to watch. We noticed that he always reaches up with his left hand and of course, Paul's first reaction was "you won't be able to follow daddy's legacy as a catcher if you're a lefty, you'll have to be a pitcher"! I surely hope that baseball is a passion for Lorenzo like it is/was for Paul!
