We've been a bit busy this past week. In edition to our sometimes hectic lives, we had two birthday parties. They were for two sweet little girls both turning one. And guess what, they share the same birthday. Marcos' sister, Laura, and my sister, Alicia, both had baby girls on May 1, 2008. I was waiting to hear news from Mercedes (Marcos' mom) and then got a call from my mom saying Alicia was pretty close. We went up to the hospital to help out with Kamyn and got there right as she was pushing. We could totally hear everything from the hall. It was awesome! Of course, it was also very chaotic with Dylan, Anthony, Preston and Kamyn, but it was a very cool moment. Right after that, I got a call from Mercedes telling me Laura had just had her baby. I can't remember right now, but they were only minutes apart (I think maybe 7). And they were similar in height and weight as well. So crazy! So we had the privilege of attending two one-year-old birthday parties for two very sweet little girls this week. Luckily they were not the same day. :) Both Alicia and Laura are so creative. They both had their girls in such cute outfits, made the cake on their own and had delicious food prepared. Much better hosts than I can ever hope to be! Both parties were so much fun that we didn't want to leave. The food was great, the kids played and got along great, and we got to visit with people we don't always get to see. What a fun week for birthday celebrations. Here are a few pictures from the parties that I thought I would share. I'm stealing the collages off of Laura's blog since she's already done the work. It's easier than trying to create them myself. :)

Cute! I love that they were born so close to each other. Kenya looks darling and I LOOVE her b-day theme. SSOOOO Super cute!
One year already? Wow. I love the collages of the two cute "princesses" on their special days. I saw your mom leaving choir practice right before Mike and Seve's ward on Sunday because they blessed Arienna. It was fun to see her and give her a hug. I still think of her as a second mom. I asked how her calling was going and she was like, "Well, you know me, I'm just crazy!" I'm sure her YW love her! I saw Kara Liston too. Fun to catch up with some of the people from our old ward! My mom and dad are still in the 4th ward of course, but now they go to the new church in Jacob's Mill, so that seemed a little weird. I'm glad Mike and Seve are in the old church so I can see people like your mom every now and then!
Lis- cool that you ran into my mom and Kara and some of the old 4th ward-ers. I hate that I can't see too many church people that I knew when I visit my mom because the boundaries have changed so many times. Oh, and my mom still considers you one of her daughters too. :) What's weird to me is that Kara was the former YW Pres and now my mom is. I love PV. I totally miss it! I forgot that Mike and Seve live up there. Which ward are they in? BTW, did you get my facebook message? I have an update when you get some time. Email me or call or whatever. Talk to you soon.
