Ride 'em Cowboy!!

Every year at STARs Daycare, the cowboy lady arrives to take pony pictures. That special day was Wednesday. I prepared Dominic in his full western attire for this photo opp, but had no clue that Matthew, too, would have an opportunity to sit on the pony. How CUTE my two little cowboys looked!!

A Special Day for a Special Little Man

Since we haven't made arrangements to celebrate Dominic's birthday with the whole crew until August 10th (along with Joshua), we decided to take a trip to the fire station to have a birthday lunch with Jim. He is working at Lake Nacimiento for the next week or so. Dominic thoroughly enjoyed his cake and ice cream, and tore into his presents like a champ. He was excited to find the new Leap Frog Tag system. Needless to say, it took a little bit of work from mommy to get it running. Unfortunately, in order to use the books, the internet is involved.....and with my dinosaur of a home computer, I had to boot up my laptop from work to complete the task.

Both Joshua and Dominic enjoyed popping the air filled water balloons that Jim found down at the local market (he swears that's all they had) and each got their fill of colored frosting balloons from the cake. Dominic was proud to show off his purple mouth and teeth!

Upon returning home, Dominic opted for a 2 hour nap, and Joshua and I played a few games. Joshua has really taken to the game playing thing, only he hates to lose.

Look Who's 3!!

It's hard to believe that Dominic is already 3. It seems like only yesterday I held him in my arms and welcomed him into this world. My how time flies. What a precious little boy he is. And to Dominic, my little man, you have changed my life in so many ways. I am honored and thankful to be your mommy. Happy Happy Birthday!

The iPhone Craze

This picture pretty much sums up my weekend. God bless my husband for being home on vacation this week so that I could partake in iPhone hell! I spent Friday in Bakersfield with a line of 100+ customers waiting to get their hands on this latest and greatest Apple product. I am grateful to have a management job with the largest communications company in the world, but on days (rather, weekends) like this, my stess level peaks. And just in case I didn't get enough on Friday, I tortured myself in Goleta on Saturday. All in all, I absolutely enjoyed the experience and the time on the sales floor. .....and, for those of you looking for a FANTASTIC phone, please visit your local AT&T store and check this thing out. It's really COOL!

Couldn't resist....

I realize that I should just wait and put these in the mail, but I am so excited about the boys birthday invitations. We have elected to combine Joshua and Dominic's party this year so that we don't have to plan two events. We have booked the Harris Stage Lines for a western party. The boys are sooooo excited!!
