Jocelyn turns 4!

I am finally getting back to the blog :) April was a great month. Jocelyn celebrated 4 big years on the 18th. We can't believe it. She has grown into a creative, sensitive, fun, and spunky little girl.

Her favorites include the colors yellow, pink and purple. She is fascinated by ponies, horses, unicorns, and elephants. She loves piggy banks and loves to read. In fact, she is slowly starting to read by reciting passages from her favorite books, like the Lorax. Ask her about Tweetle Beetle battles! Her bed time routine has simplified over the years, but she still loves it when I sing her "buenas noches Jocelyn", a song I made up to the tune of Frere Jacques because when she was born I didn't know any Spanish lullabies! I have over the years learned a few and J sings them to Adelina now. It's adorable. She loves to take walks with the dogs, piggy back ride with Ryan and of course go to Home Depot. Can you tell we are new home owners?!?

Here is a 4 year time lapse of our Jocelyn Rose.

As you can see, she is just a happy clam. She still has the cute little smile from her early years as a little baby. She enjoys playing outside more than ever. We dig in the dirt with our gardening tools, ride our bikes around the house, and pick flowers. She also likes to collect sticks to put in our fire pit that we just got. It's a blast!

Having Jocelyn in our lives has made us grow as individuals, as a couple and as a family. Thank you Jocelyn for teaching us all the little things matter. For me, the biggest lesson I have learned is how to prioritize what matters in our lives, have an open heart, and really try to go with the flow, since so much in life is uncertain.

We are very thankful for everyone that sent happy birthday wishes, gifts, and those who were able to celebrate in our new home. And all those that couldn't make it, you were there in spirit! Thanks to everyone near and far for all the love and support that has helped our family become more solid, more fun, and more in-tune with each other over the last 4 years. We love you all! Here are some fun pictures with family on both sides.

We hit up the park with Grandma!

Then, we came home and played in the yard. We definitely enjoy our new wind chime (thanks Grammy and Gramps).

Here we are birthday morning. She makes the best faces. And, we kept the balloon tradition alive. This time we had all the colors like a rainbow, since rainbow dash is one of Jocelyn's favorite ponies.

The grandma's!!

Love to you all! More updates coming soon :)
