Claudias 5th Birthday!!!!!

We had lot's of fun on Claudia's birthday! She was soooooo excited!  That is part of why the whole party was such an adorable success!  She had a few friends over.  Mairin and Tara, they are two girls from our ward who come through our house to get to school.  Gabriela and Adrian also came, they are the kids of our good friends the Blancos.   She got lot's of fun stuff.  As you can see in these pictures she put her presents right to use.  Our neighbors downstairs (Salem and Craig Roisumm)  got sidewalk chalk for her and since the days lately have been wonderfully warm she and the other kids went right to work.  This morning I went out to the front yard and caught them tracing their bodies on the sidewalk.  It was so cute!

My boys.

The other day I caught Mateo playing on his own.  He was playing "daddy."  Since he was "daddy" he imitated what daddy does best. Read.   The other pics are of the boys just being cute. Titus had just finished drinking a healthy shake (fruit and Kale).  He loves them!

Piggies, flowers and patched up jeans:

Laura's pants had two huge holes in it.  I remembered the great advice: "Use it up wear it out, make it do or do without" So I used a pink bandanna I had in my craft box and patched them up. They turned out super cute! ( If I do say so myself=)

Claudia wore piggies for church last Sunday.  She rarely let's me do her hair, so this is a big deal for me.  Also, Laura assembled one of her birthday presents which she got in November.  Roxi gave her a kit for making flower jewelry and hair accessories.  They were fun to make and also super cute.  Check it out!
