Boy: noise with dirt on it

We had a great afternoon at the park. Trey had the first half-day of the season and we enjoyed it by taking the boys to the Weaver Lake park. They each enjoy something different, so it is very fun to watch. Nicolas climbed this big structure several times. Matteo sat on the sand and felt the rocks, twigs and anything he could find. Enzo never sat still and went up and down the curb nonstop. At the end, however, they had in common that they were tired (read loud) and VERY dirty. It was a great day!

Aniversario do Matteo e Enzo! Happy 1st Birthday!

Quarta-feira foi o primeiro aniversario do Matteo e do Enzo. Nem acredito! Foi muito legal. Comecamos o dia com a aula de musica, que normalmente eu encaro sozinha com os 3. Eles acharam otimo o pai e o avo estarem presentes. Nos cantamos, dancamos e tocamos instrumentos.

Apos a aula de musica, fomos tirar fotos para registrar o dia. Afinal, eles ja estao com um ano e ainda nao tinhamos nenhuma foto da familia toda junta. As fotos ficaram lindas. Ainda essa semana vou receber o cd e devo colocar algumas aqui no blog.

Almocamos fora num restaurante mexicano, que estava uma delicia.

Voltamos para casa e foi a hora do parabens. O Vovo Miguel estava presente via Skype o tempo todo. Foi uma parte grande da festa. Primeiro cantamos com o bolo do Cookie Monster que eu fiz. Depois, cada um ganhou seu bolo para se deliciar. Foi muito interessante, pois se revela a personalidade de cada um. Enzo experimentou cuidadosamente e continuou comendo aos poucos, sem se sujar muito. Matteo experimentou e logo constatou que aquilo era algo maravilhoso. Encarou logo pedacos grandes, fez uma lambanca e se se sujou bastante. Foi super engracado. O Nicolas acabou tirando um pedaco do bolo do Enzo.

Abrimos os presentes e eles adoraram o carrinho principalmente. O pai do Trey acabou saindo para comprar outro, pois achamos que cada um deveria ter um. Foi uma farra! Eles curtiram os baloes, as decoracoes e os brinquedos. Estavam exaustos e o dia acabou com a sala parecendo um parque de diversoes!

Papa arrives, Nicolas' tooth falls out and Enzo walks! WOW!

So much going on.... Papa arrived after a 13 hour car trip from Arkansas. He was at the bus stop to greet Nicolas coming home from school. It was so cute. Nicolas ran off the bus and screamed "PAPA!" and gave him a big hug. I wish I had video taped it!

We went to Punch Pizza today, due to the "Back to the 50's" promotion and $3 pizza. Delicious! I hate to even call it pizza, seeing it is so different than the stuff you get everywhere else. Anyway, while there, Trey convinced Nicolas to let him tug at the very loose tooth. Nicolas surprised us by saying he would do it himself. He thought he would just wiggle it, and it fell off. In his own words, he thought he was dreaming. He is anxiously awaiting the tooth fairy. I mentioned that I thought she retired and moved to Arizona, to which he replied "mom, you are kidding! She can't retire!". He is right, in this economy and the way 401ks are doing right now, noone can retire. Papa said he is on a first name basis with her and would make sure she would bring him $5! FIVE DOLLARS! We almost fainted, as this is only the FIRST tooth of many! Damage is done, Papa made sure Nicolas knew the going rate is now $5.

As if all this wasn't enough, throughout the day I attempted to make a furry Cookie Monster cake (will post tomorrow) for Matteo and Enzo's b-day. On top of all this, we got home and Enzo walked to Nicolas. It was so beautiful, the way he made sure he was standing well and then went for it. Nicolas was so happy!

Full day.... but far from over. Trey and I are now wrapping gifts for tomorrow, putting decorations up and putting together the Couzy Coupe! Tomorrow promises to be another exciting day. Hard to believe that the little guys will be one! Good night!
