21 May 2013 Corey's Birthday

Happy Birthday Corey!  9 Years Old!

.

Grandpa and Grandma visited the Minaya family last night.  Here we are with a note that Erasmo, Corey's birthday friend typed for us to show Corey.  Yes, we do love you, Corey!

Here's Erasmo with his gift, a monopoly game just for the Dominican Republic.  Nice.

Erasmo is writing a little note to Corey.







Grandma making panqueques for the family.  Corey's favorite!

He liked them...but not as much as Grandma did!

And Grandpa preferred brownies...of course!

Erasmo was very happy to have a photo and a note from his new friend Corey.  He liked the picture of Corey playing shadow tag.  Thank you Corey for sharing your birthday with a wonderful boy in the Dominican Republic!  Watch for videos in dropbox soon.

5 May 2013 Jacie's Birthday

Happy Birthday Jacie!  3 years old!

We love our Jacie!  Here's a few words about her from her mommy, Missy:

Jacie is super sweet.  She is turning 3. She knows her birth date and that she'll be three. She is pretty excited about it.

She is a good big sister. She loves holding Brigham. It only lasts for about 5 seconds, but she loves it regardless. She loves her brothers, although she won't admit that she loves Zac. They are excellent at pushing each others buttons.

Jacie is an angel when she wants to be. She is adorable at times and a little brat at times, but she can definitely hold her own with her brothers. We are grateful to have our little girl.  

Jacie still loves playing doctor. She loves her room, kitchen, doll, etc.She loves playing with her brothers, but she is definitely girly. She in love with her shoes and her clothes. She has a mind of her own when it comes to what she'll wear. Just lately she likes wearing big flowers with headbands and she'll actually keep them on most of the day. 

Happy Birthday sweet Jacie!
