Chaffee Zoo - Fresno, Ca

On Easter weekend we went up north to visit my family! We had tons of fun over the weekend and going to the Chaffee Zoo was the start of it!! Alyssa did not want to let go of holding the Elephant statue as you will see below.

Happy 3rd Birthday Alyssa!!!

Daddy surprised Alyssa and came home for lunch so she could test out her new birthday present! As you can tell she was very excited! :)

She blew out the candles all on her own!!

How the years fly by...

Our baby girl is 3 years old today... we cannot believe how quickly time passes by! She has grown and changed so much! I think sometimes you don't realize how much they have really changed until you go back in time...we wanted to share some photos.

Our sleeping beauty was 2 weeks old in this photo.

1st Birthday!

2nd Birthday!!

3rd Birthday!!!

San Diego Zoo

We decided to visit the zoo since we had not been in a while! Always a fun time!

Backyard Fun!

Having fun in the backyard! :)

Northwood Park

Last week we met up with some friends at Northwood Park. It was our first time there and very nice! Such a huge park for the kids to run around and play!

♣ Happy St. Patty's Day!! ♣

We had lots of fun on St. Patty's Day! Alyssa and Gavin got to play at Cedar Grove Park with their friend Mattie! After lunch we then decided instead of just playing in the backyard we should take off our clothes and get all wet!! Good times!! :)

Irvine Regional Park

As we were all walking to the zoo we got up close and personal to a peacock!

Fun times with Amo and Papa!!

On Saturday we spent the morning at Irvine Regional Park. We got to go to the zoo, ride the train, and the pony!! :) Daddy had to work all weekend so Mommy was so happy that Amo and Papa could come visit and help Mommy with the kiddos!

Wee!! The kids are regulars at Windwood Park!! :)

Alyssa in action!

Mister Gavin has been into everything lately! Lots of bumps and bruises! :( But he's having fun!

Wee!! Nothing like sliding with Amo! :)

We came across this bee hive while on one of our walks. This was our first time seeing one up close and personal!

Gavin and Alyssa were waiting patiently for the arrival of Amo and Papa! Look how grown up these two cutie pies look!

After Amo and Papa got settled in we took the kids to the park! Wee!!

I will update soon...

Well i have not taken photos in a while! I am pretty good at forgetting my camera lately, but i hope to have some posted after this weekend. :)
We have had lots of walks, play dates, and fun at the park lately...so we have all been keeping pretty busy! Alyssa is talking more everyday and for the past month in a half or so has conquered using the potty!! Gavin is getting 3 molars all at once and doing the best he can with that. Tylenol and teething tablets definitely do wonders for not only him, but our ears too! hehe :)

♥ Happy Valentine's Day!! ♥

Happy Valentine's Day family and friends!! This morning Daddy, Alyssa and Gavin decided they were going to bring home some donuts for breakfast!! Such a yummy treat for all of us!! Afterwords we opened up cards and Alyssa and Gavin got a little special "hug-a-saurus" for V-day! They enjoyed or should i say Alyssa enjoyed hugging it all day long!

Daddy had another surprise up his sleeve... an Edible Arrangement!! If you have never had one you have to try one sometime!! They are so delicious!! Of course we have especially enjoyed eating the chocolate dipped strawberries....who wouldn't!! :)

After the Alyssa and Gavin's naps Grandma stopped by for a bit to play while Mommy and Daddy got to go out to a movie! We were not going to go out at all cuz Daddy had to work last night, but we decided to sneak away for a couple hours since we did have Grandma to watch the kiddos! We all had a very fun day and we hope you did too! ♥
