Having fun!

Today was an awesome day. Isaac, I and the boys spend the day at Cole Park. The boys needed to get out of the house and have some fun. Little Benji is fearless. He saw a slide and immediately ran to it and slid down.  brave-one-web.jpg  Doesn’t matter how big or tall the slide is…he knows what a slide is for and he is determined to do it without any assistance. Benji, Benji, your smile lights up a room. Your giggles are so cute. I am so priveleged to be your mommy. 

My little Solomon is a protective big brother, always making sure little brother does not get hurt. solomon-web.jpg He is definately my eyes and ears when I am not present.  He is so structured and considerate. His little phrase right now when I ask him if he is my baby is, “I’m your first baby!” I can’t help but to squeeze him and shower him with lots of love and kisses.

Daddy was teaching the boys how to make rocks skip in the water.  throwing-rocks-web.jpg   solomon-rock-web.jpg

Here are two more pics of the boys having fun with Daddy.  cole-park-web.jpg  sneaky-web.jpg  Benji being sneaky!

All that running around sure did build up an appetite. We found ourselves at Whataburger by the bay eating upstairs. We then decided to head over the Harbor bridge, where Isaac took beautiful pics of “The Blue Ghost”, or the Lexington. While Solomon helped Daddy position tripod, Benji and I decided to take a stroll on North Beach. He did not want to feel the sand or water, he refused to be put down and clawed his little but sharp nails into my shoulders. I carried him for the stroll and he was a happy camper. There were so many people at the beach…ahhh summer!  We called it an evening, went home, bathed the boys and they were out like cold logs. In my book, thats called a successful DAY!

Family Time

Family time is so important in the Castillo home.  Tonight before bed time, Isaac and I played with the boys in their room.  Wela (my mother, Spanish for grandma) was even entertained with the toys. Oh, yes my mother lives with us. She is an interesting person. Funny thing, she hadn’t been a part of my life for years, but now I can’t seem to be without her. It really does help to have an extra set of hands around here, especially when you have a four year old bouncing of the walls and a 19 month old standing on top of the dinner table yelling, “mama, mama!!” Oh yes, the joys of motherhood! My honey is in a transition with his job so in the meantime he has been hanging out a lot more….kind of like a vacation….yes I like that! He is such a helpful husband and father, I thank God for him. I really don’t know what I’d do without him, he is truly an answered prayer. Someday I will tell the story of how we met and how God clearly spoke to the both of us affirming that we were meant to be.  I love it! In the meantime, here are some pics from my beautiful family.

My honey!  My honey
