"It Takes Two To Make A Thing Go Ri..ite!"

My son had NO IDEA I was taping him with my cell phone. If he knew I put this on my blog, or on my Facebook page, I don't know if he'd ever forgive me.

I'll take that chance! 

Go Danny..Go Danny!

WRESTLE MANIA

Danny, my 7 year old is my "boys boy."

The older (high school) boys at church love to play fight with him because one, he can take it, and two, he LOVES it!!!

Well, the other night, I told my husband that he should teach the boys how to wrestle. My husband was a wrestler in high school, and I know he has some skills that he can pass on to our kids. Even our girls!

Danny was all over that!

It was so funny because our puppy Mocha started to growl a few times, and started to protect MY HUSBAND!

Gabe explaining the basics and what to do when he's in that position.


"See my elbow Danny? This is the reversal."


Danny's turn!

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY, DANNY!

You may be thinking, "Didn't she just have a Happy Birthday post for one of her other kids?" Well, you're right! Four of my kids birthdays are literally back to back, starting in May!

My youngest son, Daniel (or Danny) is turning 7 today!! Oh my..where do I begin? He's 15 months older than Veronica but they seem closer than that in age! It's true when they say girls mature faster! LOL! Here he is around 2 1/2!!


His personality is so complex! He is independent, fearless, soft spoken, strong willed, extremely sensitive, and just so darn C.U.T.E!!! He's one of those kids who can literally entertain himself. Give him one or two of his favorite action figures and he can literally be in his own world (sound effects and all)!! He's not afraid to try new foods (believe me..I was literally shocked when he tried sardines out of a can), and he loves to help me when he can..well almost..lol!

He totally looks up to Eli (my 9 year old) and I noticed that he wants to do whatever he's doing, and go wherever he goes. It's such a blessing to see their bond strengthening as they get older.

He has a smile that can light up a room, and he can hold his own with the "big boys." It's so funny because the high school boys and some of our friends get a total kick playing with Danny. And I'm not talking easy play! He's a rough houser, and he can totally take what he dishes out. LOL, everyone says the same thing about him. They say, "Man, Danny's strong!" So, I think that's why they know they can kick it up a notch with him. Of course, they would never hurt him, but I'm sure there would be other parents that would be freaking out! Plus, he has energy galore and he won't stop even if you want to!

So, to you, Danny, I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday! You always make my heart melt with your gentle smile, and your soft voice. You bless me everyday! I would do anything for you! I love you!

Do you see that sweat rolling down his forehead? LOL, we used to call him "sweaty boy" because he sweat so much from being so active!!

GIFTS & MORE GIFTS!

My sister in-law wasn't able to see Isaiah for his birthday, so she planned to take the kids out to lunch and the movies this past Saturday. Since it's Danny's birthday coming up (on Wednesday), she decided to give him his gift now also.

It was a nice quiet break for me because she took them out for a few hours, and my husband went to shoot some hoops with his friend. They wanted to practice for the 3 on 3 basketball tournament that our church's outreach is having this Saturday.

Anyway, here is my sis in-law with the kids before the boys opened their gifts. Danny already knew what he was getting. He was excited to open it up!

Yay...a Nintendo DSi! He already had a DS, but unfortunately it got stolen! I felt so bad for him, but assured him we would get him a new one for his birthday. Well, in the meantime, he already asked my sister in-law for one, so she ended up getting it for him! Doesn't he look so happy? We're happy for him too!!

And she bought him so games to go along with it!

Look at Isaiah's cheesy grin! He still looks half asleep! Well, I don't know how he could be. She gave him $100 for his birthday!

She took them to lunch at Casa Azteca, and then they went to see Ice Age 3! They had a great time with her!!

GUITAR HERO

Except this is the real deal...not the video game.

My youngest son, Daniel is taking an interest in playing the guitar! It reminds me so much of Isaiah when he was around his age. He (Isaiah) asked and asked and asked for a guitar until we finally decided to buy him one for his birthday. Little did we know that the Lord would totally bless him with that talent! Anywho..Daniel started playing around with a guitar we have in the living room and we asked Isaiah to teach him a couple of chords so he can practice with that! It was such a blessing to see Isaiah helping him!!

Showing him where to put his fingers!

Look at that concentration!

Love it!
