Thank you for the Awesome Birthday Party!!! We sure enjoyed everyone coming - it was fun and great to see the family all together (and we missed the ones who could not be here). Grammy Galinet, GrandPa Galinet and Bruce did an incredible job at getting the party together. DC did a fabulous and yummy spread of great food. The boys had lots of fun and have been enjoying all the wonderful and thoughtful gifts.
Here are a few pics of our Safari theme party with Richard Ellis having fun with Baily and another with Decker posing for the picture. Both Bruce and I were busy and enjoying everyone at the party that we really did not have the opportunity to take pictures. We just have a couple. Grammy Galinet made sure we took pictures of the boys in their new John Deer Tractors and of Decker having fun playing basketball with Daddy. Daddy got a big boy basketball hoop and all for their birthday. Decker loves basketball and really wanted the big boy hoop; now Claudia and I are going to get our exercise lifting him up all day so he can make baskets. One of Decker's coaches, from PowerKids, said that since Decker is so determined to play basketball with the big boy hoop that by age four he will be able to shoot on his own that far up. I believe it. Decker is really into his sports and so full of energy. 
Before the boys birthday I was taking them down the street to play in the sand and to get a little change of scenery. It was always a nice little change during the day, especially in the mornings. This picture was taken a couple weeks before their birthday.
Since then we moved some of the sand into the our courtyard were the boys have been enjoying playing there with their new toys from their birthday. It has been loads of fun, especially with Grammy Galinet creating all sorts of excitement - like singing silly songs with Baily, playing with their bugs in the sand, teaching Decker new tricks with their water table (like spraying me with water) and just hanging out while they play and be silly too.

Today is Bruce's birthday - he is forty-two. We had just a tiny celebration - like said happy birthday, here is your present. Poor Guy. I'll have to make sure we do something really special for him on Father's Day.
Oh, I want to tell you a couple of cute things. Last week Baily was playing in one of the potted plants in the courtyard and came across some styrofoam. He asked me "What's this?" I told him it was a tiny dot of foam. Then he took it between his thumb and forefinger, brought to his ear and said "Hello". It was so funny. I tried to tell him no not phone but styrofoam.
Yesterday Grammy Galinet got to see the boys hug and love on each other. It was cute to see her so excited. She was disappointed we did not get a picture. I am going to work harder on taking photos this week.
Tonight Grammy Galinet and GrandPa Galinet got to watch Decker do front rolls on his own. Boy, we need to do some videos too.
Well, the boys have PowerKids early in the morning Wednesday and I should get ready for bed.
-bye for now-
