Our adventure started on a beautiful June day in 2004. Fast forward 12 years and now we are the proud parents of 3 active, beautiful boys. Nathan, Bracken, and Marco. We call Prescott Valley, Arizona home and are constantly reminded that there is never enough time to accomplish and experience everything we think we want. Life with a young family is precious and simplicity is our ongoing quest.

Marco Turns 2!


Our little Marquito is growing up so fast.  He is a big two year old and showing all the signs of being one.  When we are out and about the town people easily guess how old Marco is.  I'm not sure if it is the constant "My turn!" or "No!" that gives it away first.  But for all of his orneriness he is a cute little bugger that for the time being is still more sweet than ornery.

Stats:
Weight 30.3 lbs
Height 38 1/4"


Marco's birthday fell on a Friday so we shared a birthday treat with our Music Makers group.   Marco was able to dust off his candle blowing skills early and he did so good he blew it out before we even started singing.  His little friends really wanted to sing to him so we lit the candle again and gave it another go.





We also enjoyed a picnic lunch while we watched a movie.



Once everyone was gathered home from work and school we got our birthday celebration on!
Grandma and Grandpa Kleinman joined us for pizza and salad, presents and yummy cake pops which are one of Marco's favorite things.  Although I think we discovered that he likes blowing out candles more than eating the cake pops.



The first round of candle started in the living room just before opening presents.




After opening his presents we moved back to the table to eat our cake pops but Marco had other plans so round 2 of candle blowing commenced.







After round 2 I was able to distract him long enough for everyone else to start enjoying their pops but after only eating half of his own cake pop Marco begged for more candles so round 3 began and round 3 was a doozy.







I lost track of how many times we lit those candles for Marco.  The cutest part was hearing him sing Happy Birthday to himself before blowing out the candles.


Eventually Marco decided to sink his teeth into another cake pop and I quickly hid the candles and lighter.
Happy Birthday Marquito!
