Some Summer Pics

That's my boy. He is as cute as can be with his summer hair cut. He has both of his knees scraped and loves to tell people about it. He is having a great summer so far.

Having fun in the splash pool.

Molly is getting big, she can sit up now and has her two bottom teeth. She can scoot around on her stomach and his almost getting up on all fours, she is really close to crawling.

Three cute boys!

I promised myself I wouldn't bake but I had three Cookie Monsters at my house the other day and I couldn't resist, so I made some delicious chocolate chip cookies. I think they were a hit.

Grandma Great to Jack but Grandma to me

My abuelita passed away this month and we will miss her. We are so lucky to know that she is in a better place now. Her funeral was beautiful my family did a really great job. It was nice to see everyone together and celebrating her life. It surprises me how Jack remembers her. When he sees a picture of her he will say "Grandma Great". What surprises me most is, he will randomly ask where Grandma Great is. When she passed we would just say that she is in heaven but the last couple of days he has been talking about her a lot. It is very cute and makes me smile. We love her and will miss her.

Fourth of July Weekend

Our 4th of July weekend was full of 4 days of fun! We had family in town from both sides of the family and were constantly having fun. We had BBQ's, swimming, the twins blessing, fireworks and parades.

Waiting for the fireworks.

Watching the parade.

Eating lots of watermelon.

Every time Jack spills on him self or gets messy from eating, he always says "I'm a mess" and it's the cutest thing ever.

Washing corn.

Mothers Day

I had a really great mothers day. Danny made Jack and I breakfast and took care of Jack for me all morning. It was really nice and relaxing. We visited our moms who are so wonderful and do a lot for our family. They love Jack to pieces, which is all I could ask for.

Big Brother

Baby number 2 is on the way and we are way excited. I am still trying to find a cute countdown to put on my blog. Does anyone know of some cute ones?

Spring is here...

and we are loving it. Jack loves to be outside so we have been spending a lot of time in our yard whenever we can.

Danny teaching Jack how to hold a football.

On St. Patrick's Day Everyone is Irish

What's for dinner: Homemade meatball subs, green salad, and green sparkling apple juice.

This is as creative as I got this year. But we still had fun listening to our favorite Irish music and eating and yes I made my own meatballs. They were delicious and easy. I was very impressed with myself. Danny did not show much excitement, but that's because I found out after he is not a fan of Italian meatballs. He is crazy cause they were good.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Children s Museum

We took Jack and his cousins to the Museum awhile back and he loved it. He was a little terror. He wanted to play with everything and would do anything to get what ever he wanted. I thought it was funny but I'm sure I was the only one.

I don't know why Emma is lying on the floor but it's a funny picture.

Christmas

Oh Christmas Tree.

I took this picture awhile ago when we first put up our tree. There are no ornaments on the bottom half of the tree for a reason.

Too much egg nog on Christmas Day.

Every Christmas morning we have brunch at my parents house. Here we all are playing the new Super Mario Brothers. Which is an awesome game. I bought it for Danny this year and we have played it almost every night. We also had fun playing Beatles Rockband - also a sweet game.

Christmas morning in our new home.

Trying to help Jack figure our what "Christmas" is all about -presents!

Elmo!

Thanksgiving

Pajama Party!

Thanksgiving was so much fun this year. We had an entire weekend full of family parties, shopping, eating, and hanging out. For some reason I forgot my camera on Thanksgiving when we were at my parents' house so I don't have any pictures. On Thursday, we had dinner at my parents' house and later that evening went over to Danny's parents to see his family that was in town. Dinner at my parents' house was delicious. My mom had some new recipes which turned out to be very yummy. Thanks mom for all the hard work and entertaining you did this year. We had a lot of fun.

Friday, Danny and I started out our day at 2:30 am. Yes, we are the crazy people that go out for door busters. This has been a tradition of ours for three years and every time we have a lot fun. This year we hit Old Navy, Wal-Mart, Target, and other places I can't remember. We got everything we wanted. We call that success. Friday night we had Thanksgiving dinner at Danny's mom's and it was also very delicious. Thanks Sharon for all your hard work and everything you do for our family. We also had the family Christmas party that night. It was full of gift exchanging and Santa. Jack was terrified of Santa and could not even be in the same room has him. We ended up having to leave before Santa did. We didn't even get to say goodbye. We had such a great weekend it was sad when it came to an end but we still have a month full of festivities ahead.

Beware of Pirates

Jack opening his first present. He was so excited.

We celebrated Jack's first Birthday this past week. We had a pirate themed party. Jack is going to be a pirate for Halloween and he has the cutest costume but for some reason I didn't get a picture of him in it at his party.

Caramel Popcorn!

Pirate Birthday Cake! It was so yummy.

It was such a beautiful fall day. Just like the day Jack was born.

Our living room in our new home.

The only thing we have hanging up in the entire home is birthday decorations. Danny's birthday is close to Jack's so we just kept all the birthday decor out.

Homemade Rootbeer!

You know it's September...

when it's time to pick apples, the weather is getting cooler and the state fair is in town. Well that is exactly what we have been doing to welcome fall.

I love these pictures I took of Jack under my parents apple tree. He loves to play outside and eat the apples.

We made it to the state fair this year and it was a lot of fun.

Jack had his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Grandma there. He loved all the lights and Carnies. They were his favorite part or maybe mine.

Yes, we did go and see the Snake Girl and she was an Angel.

Wedding

Finally I am posting from our crazy busy week last week. I think I sat down at the computer several times to update my blog and never had a minute to finish. We had family in town which is always fun and we have been working really hard on our home so we can move in this week! Yay!

Sam and Heidi are married and here are some pictures. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a lovely time.

"Da, Da, Da, Da..."

Jack calling his Dad while he is at work.

Baby Walk

When he walks his little bum and legs waddle, it is adorable.

My baby boy is growing too fast. I was looking at his newborn pictures and I can't believe how much he has grown. He can pull himself up and walk with support. He has learned how to do this so fast I am sure he will be walking on his own soon.

"Saxamaphone, Saxamaphone"

4th of July

Jack and his new top-siders. He is getting so big. He is clapping and waving goodbye. I can't believe how fast they learn.

4th of July parade. Jack's first and I think he loved it.

Later in the evening we had a great barbecue with smoked ribs! And fireworks to end the evening.

Father and Son.
