Easter

This was Derek's first Easter. The Easter bunny did come and left a simple Easter basket. It had a book book in Spanish, gold fish crackers, a new shirt, and bubbles.

He loves the baby book and the bubbles were a big hit!

You see how close to the edgeof the table he is, Oh my!! What were we thinking!

We spent Easter at grandma and grandpa's house and had a wonderful Easter dinner.

Unfortunately we didn't have an Easter Egg Hunt, but we did have a fun pinata. It made it really fun for the kids. Derek isn't old enough to look and find eggs so I wasn't to bummed that we didn't have  an egg hunt.

Happy Birthday Cameron!

We celebrated Cameron's birthday twice. First at my sisters Priscilla's place out in Van Nuys. Priscilla's birthday is on the 7th and Cameron's on the 8th. 

I made a cake for them both. It was simple but yummy, though I made it too big. We had too much left.

Opening presents

 Then on his actual birthday we celebrated easter and Cameron's, our nephew adam's, and his grandma Jan's birthday. We have lots of birthdays in April. Adam turned one this year.

 I made Cameron a triple chocolate cake with recess peanut butter cups chopped up on the frosting, it was very yummy!

He got some fun presents from everyone!

Happy Birthday Cameron!

Texas Trip

Derek and I had a chance to visit my mom's family in El Paso, Texas last week, for a whole five days. It was a hard trip being away from Cameron and from our beds but I was glad Derek and I got to see them. I hadn't seen them in 5 years, and this was Derek's first time meeting most of my mom's family and they just loved him, Derek smiled the whole time and didn't even cry when we gave him to someone whom he didn't know. He had a great time, except for the drive, fourteen hour drives aren't fun, expecially for the a baby who already does not like car rides.

 Here he is with my grandpa. Every time I handed him over to my grandpa, Derek would start jumping, waiting for great-grandpa to sing as he's "dancing."

Here's some of my mom's sisters and my cousins.

My wonderful grandma, who is getting old and is hard of hearing but she's still so energetic and awesome with kids, I thought my mom had the magic touch with Derek, but she is one-of-a-kind when it comes to soothing babies.

All the cousins with my grandma.

Los queremos mucho a todos!
