Moncada Family: July 2008

It was my birthday last week and there were festivities all over the place to celebrate my special day. Uncle Coop, Aunt Kelly & Cousin Archer, my other Aunt Kelley (Mom's cousin), Papi and lots of other people came to celebrate with us. Even Ironstone had a big event to celebrate my birthday!!! They got my birthday wrong though because they called it a "4th of July" celebration instead of a "3rd of July" celebration. Some people in Tito & Tita's neighborhood even had a special party for me - why does everyone think that I was born on the 4th of July?!?!? Oh well, all of the cool fireworks more than made up for their mistakes.

Tito put me and Cous' Archer in the wagon. Archer and I were really excited!

Aunt Kelley, me & Tia Isabel and Tita had lots of fun with sparklers.

This is the awesome fireworks display that some of Tita & Tito's neighbors put on for me. You can see why I can forgive them for getting the date mixed up.

I have to be honest and say that Archer and I were a little freaked out at first with the fireworks but we were reassured that they were safe (except for the ones that Daddy was lighting). Archer loved them - he was running around and having fun. I can't wait till I can run!!!

I fell asleep before it was all over. All of this attention can wear a kid out. Keep it coming though!!!

This is what it looked like when all the fireworks were done. It was great!

BIRTHDAY PARTY TIME!!!!!

All of my friends came to the party. Me and my good Buddy wanted to trade sippy cups.

Good People = Good Party

Lots of Good People = Lots of Good Times

Family is like the cherry on top!

These are my best friends. This was the best picture taken. Because right after...

everyone split.

I wasn't quite sure what Mom was up to when she took my shirt off and stuck me in my highchair. I would have looked much more excited if I knew what was coming.

Well Hello, Pretty Lady!!!

What is this?!?!

Really, I can put this in my mouth??? Here goes...

And there it went! It was soooooo good. I was much more excited on the inside.

I LOVE CUPCAKES!!! (My Aunt Kelly made them!!! - THANK YOU!!!)

How cool is this!!! Cupcakes that look like Daddy and Tito!

Sorry Papi and Uncle Coop, no cupcakes that look like you. But we are sure glad that you are here!

Wheeeeew! I am going to take a quick little nap.

Meanwhile everyone is still having lots of fun and whats that? Do I hear some Karaoke coming on?!?!?!

Tito sang a new song - Imagine. Bravo Tito!!!

Papi sang a song that sounded NOTHING like the original but we love him anyway and appreciate his effort!!! Bravo Papi!!!

We even got a good taste of a little YMCA! BRAVO!!!!

My Cous' Archer is ready to go. He would have had a lot more energy if he had eaten a whole cupcake like I did. WOW, I had energy for days!!!! Looks like Daddy had some cupcakes too.
