New Addition to the Family

Jacob got a puppy for Christmas and he named her "Bambi". What was I thinking? I just got potty training done and now I have a puppy to train. I am crazy!!

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas and were very blessed this year. The kids were so excited and really made it a wonderful time for me seeing there happy little faces. The boys got "big wheels" this year. A special thanks to Aunt Norma and Uncle Bill for the amazing presents they got for the entire family. We sooo look forward to their huge box they send every year. You guys really out did yourselves. Nestor and I really appreciate it!!! Thanks to the rest of you that always take the time to remember my children. No matter how small or big it really touches my heart that you remember my family at one of the busiest times of the year. Happy Holidays!!!

Wild Lights 2008

We went to the Living Desert to see the lights for Christmas. It was very beautiful and put me in a very Christmasy mood. I became a member at the Living Desert (zoo) so I got some free passes. We went to one of the shows about some of the animals and the boys really enjoyed themselves. As we were leaving the show area I told the boys we need to hold hands so I would not loose them in the crowd. Sammy took a hold of a women's hands and told her that it was very dark out here. The women looked at me and said, " I love this!!" Sammy let her hand go and told her to be careful. It was precious!!! They have a super huge train display with trains running and grown men as the train masters. We did see a derailment which Jacob enjoyed watching the train master getting the train back on track. After two hours of pushing the boys around the train display my calves and wrists were killing me. What we do for our children. OK, the bailey's and coffee helped me keep going.

Thanksgiving

We had a full house for Thanksgiving and I was so excited to have it at my house this year. I even bought new china for the occasion. The table looked beautiful. Thanks to Aunt Norma for cooking a beautiful dinner with lots of yummy left overs. Of course, Richard was in charge of the 26lbs turkey and he did a beautiful job as well. It was fun playing Scrabble with Mom and Aunt Norma. We have so many reasons to be thankful and of course we missed and thought of the family that were not with us this holiday. Of course we gossiped about all of you. LOL!!

Sammy's posing in the mirror. It is only going to get worse. Sammy's loves the mirror.

Pow Wow

Jacob had a Pow Wow at school. It was a lot of fun. Nestor is so creative. He painted Jacob's face and Jacob's class and the other mommies were so impressed with Nestor's creativity. Natasha had her daddy paint her cheeks for school also. I just love the pic of Jacob in his full indian get up. Isn't he adorable!!!

Center of the Earth

We got the 3-D movie Center of the Earth. The kids really liked the movie and I loved the pictures of them in the glasses. Remember when we thought 3-D was so cool. They have come a long way with 3-D.
