Anna's birthday and a few others

The girls in the pool in our patio.

Anna had a great 5th Birthday on Tuesday. We celebrated it on Monday.
(You should see my house!)
Anna playing with one of her new toys from Uncle Paul and Aunt Becca.



This is Akadi, one of the little party goers.



Here Anna is opening a present from Grandma Clark.



Okay, so even I had a bit of fun! Renting a bouncer has become a Birthday staple for us now. Everyone seems to have one to rent here in Autlan and they are dirt cheap.



This is Christian, one of the Bruggeman kids.



Grandma & Grandpa Weaks got Anna a ballerina outfit. Just what she wanted!


I like my new jewelry box and my ballet dress.
I am really excited about seeing the girl dancing to the music in my jewelry box.



A present from our neighbors.



Aletta was having such a good time........ but she really want to play with Anna's jewelry box.



A sugar high in the waiting.

Anna recently got to talk to Gabby on the phone. She paces just like me.

Aletta having a bad hair day.

What a fun day!!!

Today we got a package from my cousin Sarah Cosner!!! It was full of stuff we cannot get in Mexico! There is nothing we enjoy more than receiving packages from home. It was full of our favorite goodies like, Butterfingers for Andy, peeps for me, our favorite coffee, and even some Easter treats. THANK YOU SO MUCH SARAH!!! It was so good we just had to take a picture.

Girls with sunglasses on

Just down the street, our neighbors have planted cactus to sell in an open lot next to their house. You can eat this particular cactus.

Anna is holding our new kitty, Maximus.

He has been adjusting to our family and seems to fit right in.

Lillian is now 2 1/2 years. Smiles from in the car.

Momma giving Lillian love after getting hurt.
Lillian asked Dad to try on his sunglasses. Don't I look cool?

Lillian: I am a mean fighting machine!



Anna: Dad, I am one cool cat, aren't I?



Aletta: How do I look, Dad? I am so cool.
