Cinco de Mayo y Más

It's a shame that we don't celebrate more international holidays here in the US. Not that St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo are heavily celebrated, at least not by us LDS folk who don't drink, but at least it gives us an excuse to make ethnic cuisine. And in this case we got to watch a bunch of kids hit a piñata. Since we had hosted our St. Patty's party, the Holmes took it upon themselves to host a little fiesta yesterday. We were able to feast on tamales, enchiladas, chips and guacamole, sangria and even a tres leches cake. Everything was divine and we came to the conclusion that Rochester just doesn't have enough good Mexican restaurants around here.


Ethan with his favorite item of the evening. He cried hysterically when we made him give it back.

Ethan is really into baseball recently, but still doesn't know how to hold a bat, or hit an object properly. It was a little difficult considering he wouldn't drop Buzz Lightyear.

With Ben's help on his 2nd round of swinging, he busted open the piñata and the feast on candy started.

In other news, we've been spending plenty of time outside pulling weeds, swinging on swings and getting a taste of what is to come this summer:

Ethan's first Otter Pop. He loved it.

You are so tiny!! You stayed so tiny with Ethan, I wonder if it will be the same this time around. Thanks for never working out and never gaining weight...awesome. PS. If you want some tasty mexican food you should head out to these parts...we know how to do it right in AZ. :)
