Museum of Natural History in Philadelphia
YEAH its my birthday...He woke up on Monday in good spirits. And as you can see after the museum he was EXHAUSTED. It was really FUN! Every year since Solimar was one we would take her to the Camden Aquarium and now we will do the same tradition with Joaquin except that he will go to the Camden Aquarium with the exception of this year because we already went in March. Joaquin touched a real snake. He took pics with exhibits although he wasn't happy with that. He was SCARED of all of them. I guess it was their SIZE and their REAL LIFE look with the exception of the snake and the live Butterfly Garden. The butterfly garden was his favorite...He was in a daze just seeing so many fly around him. Solimar's favorite part was the DINOSAURS...They were HUGE! It was good day! My hubby and I even got to eat a Pat's Cheesesteak which we haven't had for about 5 years. Joaquin's 1st Birthday
And here is how it progressively got MESSIER...But he LOVED it. It was a small get together. Perfect in every way. Our cousins and aunt from NY couldnt make it and a couple more close friends but he was surrounded with lots of LOVE. Joaquin has had a ROUGH year. He was born with a collapsed lung so he was in the NICU for a week when he was born. When we finally got to bring him home he wasnt eating or gaining weight and they were going to put him back in the hospital. We begged them not to and even though I was nursing him (and still am) we had to give them a protein formula until his weight went up...He banged his front tooth pretty bad and now we have to see a dentist every couple of months to see if he damaged his permanent tooth. He had a pneumonia and bronchitis and now he was tested for food allergies and YES like Solimar he has them...So now I carry epi pens for him as well. Today he had 5 vials of blood taken to do more food allergy testing...More poor baby it is such a HEARTACHE to see him going thru this and very STRESSFUL! Joaquin, my baby boy, Mama loves you!
Happy 1st Birthday Joaquin
Hola...These are Joaquin's Birthday cakes and cupcakes. The cake with the #1 is called a smash cake. It's small and its for Joaquin to do as he wishes...The Bigger cake was DELICIOUS. My cousin Melinda bought the cakes for Joaquin. They are from Sweet Eats in Marlton and this is the Family Bakery. Meaning ALL our cakes come from here even though the drive is FAR! That is how good it is...Well next pics are the progression of Joaquin and his cake.MORE Tangerine Tango Meets Melon Mambo

Gabi's 1st Birthday Favors
Hola Amigas...I am going to SHARE ALOT today. These were Gabi's Birthday favors. I made 30 of each set. The first picture is the ones we gave away to all the kids. I made using the 2-4-6-8 tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. I also used the tags that were made with the Sizzix Basket & Blooms die. The second favors are made using the SU Baskets & Blooms die. These were given to me from my Bloggin Sister Susan Timmerman. You can find Susan's Blog on my side bar. She is a very talented SU Demo. She was such a LIFESAVER. These bags the kids used to collect the goodies from the piñata. I originally was going to make this bag but changed my mind because I filled the bags with so much candy that the bottom of many kept falling off.
RECIPE: ALL SU
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip
Stamp: Thank You Kindly
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Ribbon: Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue
Accessories: Big Shot, Sizzix Baskets & Blooms Die, So Swirly Jumbo Wheel (retired), Spot On Jumbo Wheel (retired)
