Pumpkins for my Pumpkins!

My Buddy & Me!!!

This past weekend we got together with Grandma and Uncle Virgie to take Ava and Xavier to Summers Farm to get pumpkins and take a hayride.  We went last year with Ava, but this year she is old enough to actually get excited about the trip.  We had a great time walking in the patch.  We even spotted a few other little critters that  Ava was quick to point out.  She is a real nature lover just like her Mom and Dad!

Can you tell who's who?
They look almost identical in pictures at the same age! !

Summer 2011

Amazing, how fast time flies by with two kids smiling at you everyday!  The summer came on full blast with 100 degree heat waves.  We have been doing everything we can to stay cool on these hot days.  Ava enjoys swimming and quickly became a little fish.  She has really taken on the role of big sister.  Xavier gets the most kisses in the house. She is always asking about him.  Xavier has been such a happy baby since day one.  He is smiling, laughing, grabbing, and close to rolling over.  They easily brighten up the Monday-Friday mundane routines.  We are cherishing every second because Ava is constantly showing us how fast they grow-up.

My Buddy!

Welcome to the World Xavier Kai! We love you!

On April 14th at 10:34 am, we welcomed little (ha ha ha) 9 pound, 6 ounce baby Xavier Kai Morales.  He is an awesome addition to our growing family.  The miracle of child birth is an event that I don't think ever gets old.  I thought I would be much more composed and settled this second time around, but being apart of the delivery (even this second time) was so exciting and the emotions were definitely at their peak.   Michelle and I are overjoyed with our new addition to the family.  Personally, I can't wait for the first time Ava and Xavier gang up on me to wrestle on the floor!!!

Please join us in welcoming Xavier to the family and to the world!  

Ava is going to be a Big Sister!!

Even with a new "Big-Girl" bedroom (Thank you Aunt Gael for the beautiful decor and valances!) and bed, Ava doesn't seem to understand the concept of having a younger brother. I am not quite sure if she realizes that Mommy's belly is getting bigger and bigger with only 8 weeks to go!

Ava is definitely getting to be a big girl with a very adept mind. One puzzle at a time is too mundane and only takes about a minute so she is on to 4 at at time!

She has recently started to enjoy everything "Princess" from dressing up to books to movies! Recently we took her to see The Princess Wishes on Ice and she absolutely loved it!

She certainly is blooming into a beautiful, fun-loving girl.
