Train Expo

Anyone who knows Mark understands that his whole world revolves around trains. He can even make train sounds like no other person I know of. You can always hear him coming by the sound of the train whistle (without a whistle). So it was a no brainer when my dad told us that there was a huge train expo at the cow palace in SF. I was a little worried how we were going to get him out of there, but it was surprisingly easy when we told him we were going to eat lunch in a train car...

She's 6!!

Lilliana turned 6! And where did she want her party...Chuckie Cheese. All I can say is that it wasn't at my house and the planning was relatively easy - and let's be honest with a 3 month old baby that was all I could handle. She invited all the kids from her class. It was a star wars party. You'd think it would be easy to get a star wars cake made?? Nope no cakes and the cake decorator had no idea what a light saber was so having 2 light sabers crossed on the cake was out. Hmm what to do what to do? Well the Super Bowl was that weekend and they had a lovely FOOTBALL cake that Lilliana decided she just had to have. So she had a superbowl cake for her birthday. All I can say is that Lilliana marches to the beat of her own drummer :) Gotta love her!
