Super Hero Party Peeks

Last month we celebrated Aston's 5th birthday with a superhero party and i finally got the amazing pictures my talented niece Ailynne captured from the party (THANK YOU!). There are hundreds of beautiful photos to sort and I am just going to share a few of them here for now. I want to post them all! 

Thank you once again to all our friends and family who came to celebrate with us and making that day another special birthday for our little superhero!

End of School Party

We cant believe that the school year has already ended and this fall our little guy will be in Pre-K! 

We are so proud and happy for all his achievements in school and we cant wait for summer! 

Here are a few pictures from his end of school party : 

He led the prayer right before the pizza meal {mommy is beaming on the sidelines}!

Loves his pizza crusts! 

And the final photo of the group {with our favorite teachers Mr. Sanchez and Ms. Robinson} before they see each other again next year! 

Kids Say the Funniest Things

My friend Rae shared with us this funny story this morning. It made my day.

Stephen (her 5 year old nephew) preparing for his school interview.

Grandma : Stephen, the principal will ask you 1+1
Stephen: 2

Grandma : What will you say when he asks you your parents name?
Stephen: I will ask him if he just forgot since he already knows my mom and dad. My brothers go to the school so he knows them!

Grandma : You need to be serious because if you don't answer respectfully, he will not admit you to the school
Stephen: Does he know that big people go to jail when they don't let the kids go to school? The police will get him, he has to let me in, That's the law.

Funny!

Post-Valentine Report

Last Monday, I was one of the moms helping out for Aston's Valentine's lunch party and we all had a lovely time. Here are a few pictures. 

Before lunch, in their prayer position

Chatting and eating

A fun home project we get to enjoy working on. Aston did the honors of putting on the stickers of stuff he loves and I arranged the family photos. This was then posted on their classroom wall

Their treat bags lined up on the wall so they could each fall in line and drop their goodies in their friends' bags

I totally forgot to snap a photo of his decorated mini-gable boxes filled with truffles for his classmates. So, this will do

At the end of the day, we had a great time going over his numerous cards and goodies and it's like halloween in February with the amount of treats he took home! 

Sunday Snapshots

Yesterday we had a great time at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center for a birthday party. The air was crisp and the sunshine was refreshing. It was a  perfect day for a nature trail walk which we all enjoyed!

The kids get to join in the scavenger hunt observing for 
paw prints, trees, furry friends, slithering creatures and more!

Olivia undeniably enjoyed her cupcake

Someone's having so much fun! 

We all had our morning exercise with a good amount 
of hiking on that beautiful day!

Till next time ladies! 

December 12

It was my sister Lilith's 3rd death anniversary and we spent the day attending mass and witnessing their wonderful christmas cantata, which we look forward to year after year. We had a great gathering and fellowship afterwards over luncheon and the kids had a fun decorate-a-cookie project after their hearty meal!

Aston and Friends

Aston has been a loyal friend to Thomas and his gang for the past year or so. They've spent quite a lot of time together. They were inseparable. 

they cruised around town together

they watch cartoons together

thomas the train tags along to school

our little bookworm enjoyed reading rhymes, admiring stickers and singing along with thomas

and during nap times, they dream together

finally, the highlight of their friendship was the celebration of  Aston's third birthday with his best friend Thomas earlier this year!

Too bad, Spiderman took over the love and attention of this "maturing" boy. I kinda miss Thomas.
