5 on Friday

As always, here are 5 special reasons I am loving my boy this week:

5.  The other day I took a picture of Marino (at the park with friends) and he announced, "I'm gorgeous in this picture"

4.  I told Marino we were going to see Alex at a magic show this week. He said, "Alex? I love that guy! We're so crazy together!"

3. The other night we went to a local Mexican restaurant, Mi Rancho. There was a song playing, all in Spanish, but Marino picked up on "Mexico" in the chorus and was stopping by tables on the way back from the bathroom and doing this while pretending to sing the song. Such a ham!

2.  Marino kept coming home from camp last week and insisting on wearing costumes. The other night I found him watching tv like this:

1.  The other night he said, "Mommy, when a girl talks to me beautiful, my cheeks get red." 

Siena's 3rd Birthday

This precious girl right here turned 3 at the end of October.  I just love her.

Cat and Siena - sweet sisters!

Gramma Bev and baby sis Alana

Keeping with tradition, Siena's birthday party was again at Etsch Farms. They do an awesome job with parties and the place itself is beautiful. Somehow, each year the weather is great for Siena's day. Since her birthday is so close to Halloween, this year the kids were invited to wear costumes to the party. Marino loves any chance to dress up, so he was excited!

There was a pinata (which Marino had a difficult time pronouncing; he was cracking us up)

Pony rides

Hayrides/snuggle time with parents

Cupcakes and birthday songs

And of course, we all got lost in the corn maze!

Beautiful day with our beautiful friends. What more can we ask for?
