2nd Saturday Market

2nd Saturday Market!
The down town association (Iowa City) is putting on the 2nd Saturday Market in August, September and October. It is basically a craft fair. I sold my pillows, necklaces and hair bows. It was so much fun! This is my friend Whitney (click here)
She has a great shop on Etsy and has darling knitted everything!
This is my booth, a little picked over- but you get the idea.

Whitney's booth.
The next 2nd Saturday Market is September 10th from 9am-3pm.
Come check it out!

Enrique's first photo shoot!- warning: picture overload

My sister, Babes (Candace) is a massage therapist and was so generous so do a trade with her friend (Xandra) who is a photographer. Xandra took these pictures of little Enrique and I think she did an awesome job!






These are very similar but both so cute- I just had to post both of them!






Thanks Babes! You are such a nice aunt!

Happy UNO Enrique Jesse!

My little Enrique turned 1 year old on July 21st!
Happy Birthday Enriquito!
Papi and I love you so much. This year has been one of the happiest of our lives.
You are our little buddy.
You do not lack in the attention department. Whenever you are down for a nap and we hear you wake up, we race into your bedroom in hopes of reaching you first.
You are such a happy baby.
We just returned from Utah- an 18 hour drive. I can honestly say, you did great! You got a little fussy the last hour but so did I!
You are walking now. You started walking when we were up in Bear Lake with my family. You look so cute as you toddle back and forth to get around.
You can say...
Hola and wave your hand (although it sounds like lala).
agua and you say it not only for water but for everything you eat!
and uh-oh.

We celebrated Enriquito's birthday party at park in Provo Utah with family. I saw the idea for an Uno party here. I thought it was such a cleaver idea and fit my little bilingual baby. Here are some of the pictures of the fun!

This was the invitation I sent out to everyone.

Abuelita Adelita, Enrique, Qui Que, Grandpa Jon, me, and Grammy Camille or Mi Mi


I had great ambitions to make this really cool fondant cake.
I had a little war in the kitchen and after 2 failed attempts, Costco won.

But hey, they did a great job.
Thanks Costco.

I made Qui Que this Uno shirt from the tutorial here


The cake was a hit. I thought he would just play around the the frosting. No. He ate it. He would have eaten the whole piece if I would not have taken it away.

Opening the presents. Of course his favorite part was the tissue paper.

Playing with the baseball set Grandpa Jon gave him.

Thanks to everyone that came to the party! It was fun!
