Royal Party in Celebration of Joshua's 1st Birthday

Bueno aqui estamos celebrando este evento tan feliz. Joshua turned a year old today. We spent hours at the park laughing, eating and having great conversation with family and friends. For those of you who helped in any way, a big THANKS TO YOU.

It's hard to believe that a year has passed by already. Our kids are growing way to fast for us. Joshua is just days away from walking on his own, Mia will be starting pre-school in the fall and Kendra will be entering the 2nd grade. It seems like just a short time ago when we couldn't even ponder the idea of having kids and becoming parents. It certainly has been a life changing experience with many more suprises in store for us I'm sure. Nevertheless, we are so blessed and thank God for sending us this little prince Joshua. Happy Birthday Son!

Joshua wasn't the only one to have a 1st time experience. Mia is very observant and payed careful attention to the kids while practicing their swing and hitting the ball. When it was time for them to go to the field and learn how to catch Mia took advantage of this time and practiced on her own. She knew the basics, holding the bat and swinging but funny thing is she did a lot better at the swinging and actually having contact with the ball than the older kids. She was so excited when she hit the ball. I have video of that too.

Great news, great news, Joshua is one step further to walking. While we watched Kendra during baseball practice Tuesday afternoon, Selena a little girl from our church was playing with Joshua and assisted him on standing all by himself for the first time. Of course me thrilled to death about his experience, snapped a picture of him before he dropped his bottom to the grass. I felt this was one of those joyous moments that have to be shared with everyone.
Here's a video also.
