Johnathan Ashton Bennion
It was Johnathan's birthday on Saturday, so we had a little party for him at his favorite place; the Zoo. My parents and little sister were in town as well so they came to the party and my super talented sister took pictures...which I didn't get from her yet, but as soon as I do get them I promise to post them because they are awesome.
Anyway, Rob made an awesome elephant candy dispenser instead of a pinata that would have been destroyed. I made little train engineer backpacks for goodies. We also made elephant shaped cakes and put the train tracks around them. I did a teeny bit of face painting and we walked around the zoo and looked at the animals. I think Johnathan really loved it all.

Texas, Costa Rica
Rob will have to write about his week with out us, as for us (Nicolle, Colette and Johnathan) we flew to Texas, the babies stayed with Bob and Lita while I flew to Costa Rica for just a few days, then I flew back to Texas, went to baby Diego's blessing then flew home on Tuesday at the crack of dawn.
MMMmm mangoes fresh off a tree next door in CR. As Colette says, "deelish".
I know it is cheesy and dumb but I couldn't resist snapping a few shots off the coast of Cuba (so I am told) from my cushy seat in first class home from CR. There are unfortunately a lot of reasons why traveling without the babes is more fun...from the possibility of first class seats (kids under 12 or something can't ride first class, so even if there is room they have to sit in coach and us with them obviously), to having to provide constant entertainment for them individually or they throw fits and are generally unmanageable, to them falling asleep 10 minutes before landing so I have to try to carry them both+luggage=impossible.
Then we have a picture of the babies with their cousins and their cousins cousins. In-san-ity.
My kids are liberal with their kisses...
and their punches...
