Happy Birthday Conley!





Conley had his third birthday a few weeks ago.  I took the kids to the dinosaur museum and their favorite park in Munich during the day.  We had birthday celebrations when Daddy got home from work.  The other celebrations came later.  We went swimming, out for ice cream and watched Cars 2.
 
 He was so excited we couldn't really get him to look at the camera.  He requested a chocolate cake.  Simon told me that I was lazy this year with his cake.  Probably, but I am very pregnant and we are moving soon.  It is okay, he loved it, especially since he got a new bulldozer.

I am pretty sure that Auburn was just as excited about Conley's birthday as he was.  We had a countdown going for sometime.

Lightening McQueen and Cars are a big deal right now.  

Three year old stats:
Height: 39 inches (88th percentile)
Weight: 37.5 pounds (90th percentile)
I think it is safe to say that he will be a football player.

He loves cars, trucks, diggers, tractors, and trains.
His favorite colors are orange, brown, blue and black.
He is OCD about his things being in order.
He doesn't like messes.
He loves riding his bike and playing outside.
He will sit for a good hour "reading" his books or having his sister read to him.
He loves Metallica and music that is "fuerte" (strong and fast).
He has a pretend guitar that he totally rocks out with and makes the guitar sounds with his mouth just like his Daddy.
 He likes to dress like his Dad.
He is still pretty attached to his blanket, although it did not come on our month long adventure and he was fine.
He has a great imagination.
He can tell you what different car models are already.
He says "I love you" at random moments of the day.

We love you Conley!  Happy Birthday big guy!

Mexico - Mayan ruins II

Simon's parents had to get back to their mission in Mexico City and we continued on our trip.  We saw a lot of ruins, 9 in total.  This is the next post of Mayan ruins.  It was actually great for the kids as well.  They could run around, climb and explore. It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...
