Free Range Family

I am disappointed to say that I did not take a single picture this weekend, even though I had my sister and her boyfriend in town and had all these parties lol. But my sister did get a good shot of her and Kalvin in the sombreros from her Cinco de Mayo birthday dinner at Dos Machos. Its quite the hoot! :) Uncle Kalvin and Aunt Natalie in their birthday sombreros  We had a fun weekend. We went to Uncle Kalvin's birthday party Saturday afternoon at the Reef, an indoor water park. Alan had gone a few times without me since I had had him, but I hadn't been to the Reef since I was pregnant with him. It was a little different from last time, to say the least lol. Last time, I was pregnant but otherwise childless and this time around I had a very active, very excited toddler with me who wanted to do and try everything lol. Including the big kid tubing slides... Alan drug me all over that water park lol, from the water playground to the wave pool to the big kid slides and back...

Today is my sister Natalie's 19th birthday. My sister is one of those people I can remember knowing as far back as I had conscious memory of. She is only 2 years and 10 months younger than me and we have actually been mistaken for twins before! She is still the one person I tell everything, and the first person I go to for girl talk lol. We've had some wild memories too. From covering the whole sidewalk in chalk that one time as kids, to logging in Canyon Ferry Lake with our cousins, to the various rides we took in Todd, to Boosketball and Nelly (inside joke lmao), to being a fish then a turtle then an elephant, to playing imagination games with Alan and Kalvin. :) She's now in college and is a team leader at Chuck E Cheese (pretty much what I was there pre Alan), we're so proud of you! Tonight we will be meeting up with my family to go out to dinner at Dos Machos, as is tradition for Natalie's birthday and Cinco de Mayo. We always have the Mariachi band come...
