Full Throttle

A little peak at my boy growing up so fast! Daddy teaching him to do the throttle on his dirtbike all by himself.

Dear Logan,

you are too sweet! Growing up so fast! I can't get over how much you talk and all of the cute things that you say everyday. Like "Hey you guys, I love you!" or "May I havvvvveee juce, PLEEEEEEEAAAASE." Just like that too! or when you invite people to come play in your room with your legos. Or when you give kisses after dinner everyday. I am so proud of you all of the time, I just can't get enough of you. Watching you ride your dirtbike yesterday truly showed me how fast you are growing up. Slow down, life is too short!

Love you to the moon and back!

Happy 3 MonthDay!

Dear Hunter,

You are SO sweet!!! We are so in love with you. You have become an amazing traveler, although it is alot of working packing two diaper bags something always gets forgotten. You have become quite the sleeper at night too, for about the past month now you go to bed around 10:30 or 11 and usually don't get up until around 6 or 6:30. Which is very nice! I am a spoiled mama! You are still very much enamored with your big brother Logan. Anytime you are crying and I ask Logan to talk to you, you instantly pay complete attention to him. He is quite the helper that big brother of yours. He will wipe your mouth if you spit-up or come and get me, and he is always sure to tell quite a story about why you are crying too! It is pretty sweet. You have become quite the chatter-box too! Your favorite time to talk is after bath while I am getting you ready for bed, or if daddy is holding you, you two will have some pretty in depth conversations. Mostly about Fire Engines or dirt bikes, sometimes daddy sneaks in a funny story about mama too! I think you are getting close to rolling over, you sure can get up on one side, as you so demonstrated today.

Your many faces, my favorite is the one on the left, your sleepy face. I know it all too well. 

How can you not love the confectious smile of yours too! One can't help themselves but smile back at you when you grin with every muscle in your face. 

We love you to the moon and back baby Hunter!!!! Happy MonthDay! 3 months wow!

Love you,

Mama

San Diego!!!!!

San Diego is / was AWESOME! The boys both did great on the airplane the weather couldn't have been better, it was in the high 80's the entire trip low 90's. The pool was perfect, I would have been happy staying at the pool everyday but of course Nana wanted to take the boys to SeaWorld. Well we really wanted to go there too, but once we got there and made it to one show we quickly decided to just walk around and see the sights. No more attempting to make it from one show to the next. Logan got wet, really wet at the dolphin show, that didn't go over too well. He cried! :( Hunter was fussy if I sat down and everytime one diaper got changed the other needed it again. So needless to say we will wait until both boys are out of diapers for our next theme park adventure.

I really got a taste of what it is like having two children now too, no time to lay out in the sun, or enjoy a swim in the pool. I only had enough time to go down the water-slide once. Yes, there was a water-slide at our resort, welk resort this place was awesome! Water-slide, splash zone, cotton candy machine, and lots of toddler and kid activities all day at the pool, plus kids eat free! (2 meals a day)

Best picture from the entire trip!

Sexy boys!

Afraid of sharks BEWARE!!! Lisa turn back!

Shark sign reads: "Sharks don't eat people......very often." We missed the piranha feeding by an hour, bummer. Maybe next year we will catch it.

Sea Turtles, my favorite!

35th Annual Pacheco (Cabral) Family Reunion

Family Reunion! What a great time, too bad Mitchell couldn't go. He was working of course. This was Logan's first family reunion and he had a blast, playing with all of his 2nd and 3rd cousins. He went down in the creek with Big Pining and on the rope swing, played with bubbles and even took a few swings at the pinata.

 Girl Cousins!

Can't wait for next year! I think we will camp out!
