In the Heights

Taylor gave the gift of broadway for Valentine's. What a guy. Katie and I went and saw In the Heights. It's the keeper of my latin heart. Lots of good dancing and funny moments, and spanish lingo being thrown around (I don't know how Katie kept up). Broadway doesn't disappoint.

Our bonus that night was seeing the girl from Akeelah and the Bee. She sat a few rows ahead of us. She looks all grown up, doesn't she?

Yo Ho Ho!!!

Ahoy der mi matey! We had a little pirate party for Colton's b-day. We had a treasure hunt for gold coins, made our own personal treasure maps, dressed up, and ate some cake.











While my mom was out, we had a little mini party. Since we've never been around family while celebrating our kids' birthdays, and she was leaving 3 days before Colton's day, we decided to celebrate with her. And because she's a grandma, she couldn't bare to celebrate Colton's and not Ian's so we had a dual party. They loved it! My kids love a birthday party, and just about anyone would do for them. I feel like we've had non-stop birthday parties since January. Between celebrating Ian's actual birthday, then his party, then Taylor's b-day, then their "pretend" birthday with grandma and now Colton's party. They are going to have some major withdrawals cause the next birthday in our family is November.
