More Easter Festivities!


(yummy cupcakes courtesy of our Easter party hostess Allie Petchenick)

This has been a great Month of April and Easter season. This past weekend we had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa which we always love, 2 Easter parties, and dinner with Nana and Nonno at King's Fish House. Sophia loved hunting for and coloring eggs and jumping in the bouncy and the Petchenick's house. I should mention Presto LOVED the bouncy too~it was his first time in one!! They had a great Easter party for the kids. We had to leave a bit early to make our dinner at King's and Sophia was a bit sad about that but dinner was worth it! Here are some pictures from the weekend(Gymboree Easter party pictures to follow):



Easter Party!

And a few pictures of our cutie pie little monkey having fun with a toothbrush(he thought he hit the jackpot when we let him play with it)!

Play date with the Gordons(Easter style)!



We set a play date with the Gordons to decorate Easter eggs with the kids. Sophia and Emma had a blast together and Presto was so happy to have little Jack to play with. After the eggs were decorated we all ate pizza and baked cookies. The girls headed upstairs for some play time in Phia's room then it was bath time! The girls hands were plastered with egg dye so a bath was in order followed by jumping on the bed which the girls LOVED! We always love spending time with the Gordons especially now that our little girls can REALLY play together. Listening to Sophia and Emma giggle while jumping on the bed was priceless! Oh and we even snuck in some Fresh Beat band time;) There were so many cute pictures, it's hard to narrow it down but here goes:

















Presto's 15 month stats



Sorry for the poor quality iphone photos(taken at the doc office) but the good news is we have a very healthy baby boy on our hands! Presto LOVES to eat and loves everything. His absolute favorite is bananas("nana" as Presto calls it). But he loves all kids of veggies(unlike his sister) peas, carrots, beets, green beans, you name it. We really made sure to be consistant about giving him a variety of veggies ALL the time. We learned with Sophia that if mommy and daddy slack then they'll just stop eating them and we did not want that to happen again. For breakfast, Presto and Sophia both eat waffles with cream cheese and veggie sausage~mommy's kind of breakfast:) The doctor mentioned us just watching Preston's legs for the next few months. They're getting better but not perfectly straight. Here are his stats:

Height: 31"
Weight: 27lbs(BIG BOY!!) Sophia is 30lbs so they're very close!
Shoe Size: 4
Shirts: 18months
Pants: 12 or 18months
Words: Says "thank you" and "please" which mommy LOVES. Will try and repeat lots of things but says "wah wah" and points when he doesn't know the word:)

Preston and Sophia lately



Leyla takes lots of fun pictures the kids during the week. Some are just of the kids running around the house and recently she painted with the kids outside and got some great shots! We just want to document the fun times Sophia and Preston have together in case they need reminding in the future~wink wink!












Disneyland with Phia!



Shhh don't tell Presto but mommy and daddy snuck away with Phia to Disneyland for the day. Presto thank you for being such a good boy with Nana! Phia loved every minute of it of course(well, except for the lines~she was not a fan of those). We went on It's a Small World 2x Sophia loved it so much. We continued our tradition of hitting Pirate's first and she sat on my lap and clung to me the entire time but swore she wasn't scared:) We ate lots of park food of course and even caught Mickey dancing to the band as we walked in. Our Disney trip ended with a Nick Jr. show at California Adventure. Here are some highlights:

Being silly with Daddy:)

She was THIS happy all day!
