| evia and her cousin isei taking a little break before the zoo closes (8 hours of zooing-it, whew!) |
this week was the highly anticipated 3rd birthday. i cannot believe how quickly 3years has gone by. our little love bug is a big girl now...and it's based on so much more than the number! i can ask her to go wash her face, check on her sister or relay a message to papa. what?! when did this happen? she goes on the potty, rides roller coasters and finishes a cheeseburger as fast as her mama (that's fast!). she loves pizza, telling stories and walking instead of sitting in the stroller. but, even with all of those things in her repertoire, she is still my little baby. she wants to hold her mommy's hand to go to sleep, talks about future hugs from her papa and smiles from ear to ear with the prospect of seeing her grandparents. my first born i love you to the moon and the stars.
we spent her birthday in san diego for a little r&r at the san diego zoo. we were there last year and had such an amazing time we started planning our return on our walk out of the park. her cousin isei was on spring break and got to join us with auntie becca, tio gamz and ayin. isei's san diego request "legoland!!" so we joined them for that excursion too. lucky for us auntie anna took time off work to hang with us at the zoo. it was an incredible weekend of family fun. below are some photos that help tell a visual story:
