Memorial Day 2012
We had a super laid back Memorial Day lunch today with my grandparents, Mom, and Larry. It was spur of the moment and such a nice treat! Nannie called us to see if we wanted to walk over for stew at lunch before Chris got called out. Mom and Larry had plans to grill so we just blended our plans and made a yummy lunch out of it. I can't wait until the entire family can get together again on Memorial Day and have our traditional pie bake off. Today's fantastic meal was a nice last carb filled meal before I head back on the low carb train. Happy Memorial Day! :)
Nannie asked me to set the table...not sure this is what she had in mind lol! :)
Super enjoying every minute of lunch!
Logan waiting on his turn :)
They are so sweet <3
Chris Bear <3
Hey! "Knock it off Mommy and Daddy..I need another bite of food!"
Dessert....under those various fruit toppings is cream cheese and a yummy crust!
Nap time after a full tummy!
Happy Memorial Day from the Borquez family!

Keeping Up With Kal-El- May
What is our Superman into these days? I could give a one word answer, which would be EVERYTHING but I love to share all the funny memorable things that he does and says. Here's this months :)
- Kal-El is still ever the yard sale addict...I kid you not he wakes up thru out the week at 6:00am asking if it's yard sale day? I would of never guessed I 3 year old boy would fancy this past time but he has quite the fondness for it!
- His manners are still great....he always says please and thank you etc...there is one exception. When we have company or family come by he always ask the same thing...rather abruptly..."What you doing here!?" It always gets a laugh...I'm sure the answer he's fishing for is "I came to see YOU!"
- He still watches me get ready and in the past he would always tell me I looked so "berry pretty Mommy". Thats been altered some! Last week he said the following "Ol silly Mommy why you coloring you face!?"
- Chris and I don't like him watching shows with guns and certainly no toy guns etc He's just too young to understand that their not toys. I had a sit down with him last month and showed him a picture of a gun and explained as best I could to a 3 year old that these were not toys and could hurt people very badly or kill them. I didn't really think this convo was premature in the way I simplified it for him until we went to the Box Car one day for lunch. There was a police officer in the restaurant. None of us even noticed him with the exception of my son. Kal-El is normally extremely interactive but he sat frozen in his chair not speaking to any of us. We didn't realize until the officer finally left that Super was apprehensive about the gun on his belt. Poor baby...I'm going to try to be a little less dramatic in my approach next time. Don't hold your breath...I love these babies ;)
- Super will ever so often ask if Logan can come lay in the bed with us. I think it's so sweet. He will sit close to him and put his arm around him. Logan prefers his own bed and is very restless with us so he always ends up going back but Kal-El makes sure he gets some big brother cuddle/play time!
- Kal-El has a new favorite Disney show....Doc McStuffins...adorable show....I even catch myself watching it :)
- When it comes to his meals, Super must be hitting a growth spurt because he has quite the appetite most days. His favorite thing right now is okra. He can't get enough and he will absolutely NOT share.
- When I get on to him...which this past week has been fairly often... he's been extra mischievous....he always sighs and goes "Oh Mommy" He's so theatrical and I still catch myself trying not to laugh some days!
- The phrase "never that again" is still very popular around here...usually reserved for Logan who may happen to touch one of his toys...."Logan you no to touch my toys never that again"
- He's in the habit of saying "I'm berry sorry" BEFORE he does things like fly off a sofa, purposely pour a drink over, etc ;)
- If Logan reaches for a toy that looks a little small to Super he yells at me and says "Mommy oh no get it, him gonna get choked" awesome big brother!
- Kal-El only locked me out of the house once this week when I went to the mailbox...I'm no idiot I always take my keys out with me :)
- Last but not least my favorite Kal-El isim happened to be at church on Mother's day. Just as we all bowed our heads for the closing prayer Super starts saying VERY loudly...."umm I'm hungry ...I need chicken...NOW..where my chicken...Kal-El hungry LOL after service I had several people come and ask Chris and I if we feed our children ...so funny...never a dull moment....
I love you Super I wouldn't change a single thing about you ...I love your spirited heart and rambunctious love hard/ play hard nature baby boy! :)

Logan is 11 Months Old!
I must say that this month has gone by the quickest since I started doing these posts. This was also the most difficult month to photograph because sweet baby Logan is SO mobile now. It was nearly impossible to get him to sit still ...let alone have him sit beside a framed number and not touch it lol~! I thought I would eventually be writing about how he'd outgrown his sweet laid back personality and wonderful sleep habits but it never happened. He still looks and acts like a real life baby doll. I adore him. We all do. :)
Developmentally he's still doing much of the same in true Logan form. Slow and steady wins the race! He does pull up to his knees everyday but just not to his feet yet :) He's a very fast active crawler so that seems to be getting the job done for the moment. In food news...he's late developing love of baby food has begun to wane just as quickly as it emerged. He's all about real food and his beloved mashed potatoes have been replaced with a new favorite....guacamole....yes thats right...Borquez genes in full effect. He LOVES it and never fails to eat an entire serving of it. I'm glad he likes it because avocados are super healthy! It's only one month away until his big first birthday bash. I've been working extra hard on it and hope it turns out extra special for our special little man. I can't believe I've failed to mention his nickname up until now. We don't use it as much as Super for Kal-El but its still a great nickname. "Tank"...mainly because his so heavy.....don't judge...you would be to if you had Adamantium in your bones! (Wolverine reference for those of you confused). We love you Logan and can't wait to see all the new adventures being a one year old brings to our family! :)
