Marco is FIVE!!!!

Marco Andres turned five this past Saturday, June 6th. Wow!  It is truly amazing that this boy is five and that this boy is ours!
Marco is a treasure of a boy and Ricardo and I are so blessed and humbled that the Lord has chosen US to be his parents and that we get the privilege to raise him.
He has blossomed so much in the past year and it is really exciting to see the boy he is becoming.
Some fun facts about Marco:
Favorite foods: watermelon, pineapple, pizza, yogurt, Mexican food and Indian food
Favorite activities: anything with his siblings, playing board games, riding his bike, jumping on the trampoline, taking care of Lucia, helping out
Favorite color: red
What he wants to be when he grows up: a pilot

These posts are out of order so it starts with dinner:



His dinner request was Circle Sushi...not for the sushi (although he did swipe 4 pieces of my rolls), but for the chicken tempura.  We had a lovely waitress who treated him to this amazing dessert of tempura bananas and green tea ice cream. We all enjoyed it!

He loves to make silly faces for the camera!

I think this boy has a future in the culinary arts.  He wanted to invent his own cake so I let him request his heart's desire and I made it exactly how he requested.  He made sure I knew his cake was to be made from scratch.  It was blueberry/strawberry cake with maple frosting and real cherries on top.  It was to die for!  We all agreed that it was the best cake we've ever had and it will be the new birthday request of all!
