Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Every year we all get together and chow down on Mexican food. We all LOVE it. Me, Tim, Jenna and now Ashley, my parents (Nana and Pa), Amy and Jon and my brother Jason are the usual "dinner party" guests. This year he had to work because it was prom weekend here. Anyway, it's a tradition we've had for years. Last year we ate a lot of good food and had fun being together. This year was no different. Here are some pictures of the girls in their "Cinco Wear" as I call it.
I didn't realize it until I looked at it again but she has some crazy eyes going on in this picture:Speaking of crazy...Ashley says, "Cinco de whaaa?" Mayo de who?? I barely speak English much less Spanish!!""Who is that girl..." (Song from a Disney movie.)My baby will be seven months old tomorrow. Can you believe it? I am in shock. I think it goes by faster the second time. Anyone agree? I will take some pictures of her tomorrow and post them tomorrow or the next day.

In other baby news, and this is great, Jenna has been wanting ANOTHER baby. I am undecided. I want the option to have another one again one day but Tim is done. Stick a pink fork in him done. I feel greedy because at one time I didn't think we'd even ever have one baby and here I sit with two healthy, beautiful girls. Anyway, I told Jenna we probably would not have another baby because Daddy said no more babies and she said, "We can surprise Daddy." Imagine that. Tim says, (and he told me to blog this) "I am done enough for the both of us." It was so funny and I almost fell over when she said that. Tim was inside and the girls and I were outside on the park. She also stated that the new baby would be HERS to hold since I already have Ashley. She even said she wanted to have it in her tummy but I told that wouldn't be possible for a long time. I know she loves her baby sister so very much and I know she has so much more love to share. It is so sweet that having Ashley has been such a positive experience for Jenna (and us too, of course). So much so that she begs to do it again. Aw.

How sweet is that?! and how rare that she loves her sibling so without the green-eyed monster acting up :) and I think there's another little bebe in your future. Tim may as well give it up, he will lose getting to vote in this choice~
