Sweets and More

The long weekend of Memorial Day brought us to our favorite hang-out outdoor shopping and entertainment destination, City Centre, by the Memorial-Town & Country area. We stumbled upon this charming tiny bakery called Sweet, boasting with yummy cupcakes and delicious french macarons.

The little guy had a hard time picking out a treat!

He settled with a red velvet cupcake (highly influenced by mom) and a truffle!

We can't wait to go back!

The 4TH Aston Cup Soccer Party

We celebrated Aston's 4th birthday party dubbed, The 4th Aston Cup soccer party, a few weeks ago. Luckily for us, we have friends who are great to share the photos they took of that special day. The following pictures were taken by dear friend Rae (thanks Raez!), who took tons of amazing shots and I'd like to share them with you today. 

As any party should be, it was indeed a memorable one and it was rewarding to see the birthday boy having so much fun with his friends and cousins! 

Hop on to my other blog, for more party photos and details! 

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! 

Health Scare

Early thursday morning around 1 am, we were in a nearby emergency room having our little guy checked out for a possible seizure event that occurred in the middle of the night. He was a brave boy fighting needles and CT scan testing, as we were finding some answers why such seizures were manifested by him.

Patiently waiting for test results. To spend the time away, he cuddled under the sheets and decorated his arm splint with stickers. 

The doctors then decided to move him to the main children's hospital for close monitoring and observation. We had a safe, uneventful ambulance ride to the main hospital.

More waiting in ER as he discovers fun colorful tapes and stickers. Thank heavens for in-room cartoon TV network.

His favorite thing to do was to walk the hallways and ride the wheelchairs. 

The EEG testing was not a pleasant one but he was such a trooper!

After over a day of anxiously waiting for final test results, we were grateful and blessed that all testing procedures yielded negative results. 

Once again, we thank all family and friends who prayed and offered words of comfort and strength that lifted us both as we were scared, anxious and unsure last Thursday. And in less than 48 hours, we were relieved as we got the answers we were hoping for. 

Thank you Lord for your healing hands. 

Easter Bowling Bash

Here's an overdue post of a few scenes from our recent family's Easter bowling bash that was held at Houston 300. Our family and relatives were in town for the holiday festivities, so we didn't waste time to book our small gathering at the private room of the fabulous bowling alley the day before Easter. It was so much fun that we are now considering having it as an annual event! 

Easter 2011

A hearty brunch and fun egghunting was the order of the day this past Easter Sunday. Here are a few photos taken that day. We hope you had a great Easter celebration as well! 

Date with Woody and Buzz

Last week we got the chance to watch Toy Story 3 Disney on Ice and we were all excited just as much as the little boy. We were able to score pretty decent seats and we were happy about that. The show did not disappoint ~ it was about 2 hours packed with characters dancing, skating, flying, singing and there was certainly never a dull moment just like the movie. 

As soon as we got seated, he wanted to go back out to pick out a Buzz toy (as if he does not have enough ~ we have Buzz in ALL sizes). With only minutes left before the show starts, they both scrambled out to get a toy souvenir. 

And here's my favorite iphone shot of the boys. Check out Aston's priceless face expression ~ it says it all! 

Photo Session with Daddy

Can you believe that my husband still owns a Canon AE-1 from the 70s? So it was a treat for him to get to finally play with the Rebel and our little guy played the ever willing model for a change. 

It was a fine day spring day and the photos came out nice. 

These are raw untouched images. I need to share with you a shot of his old camera. Its actually fascinating!
