Christmas

Christmas morning.
This is what Santa brought Danny. He loves his guitar from Santa.

Playing a few tunes for us.

What a nice Christmas we had, (except for the fact that we couldn't spend it with Cecilio's family) we had a lot of fun! Danny got to spend time with his cousins, and was able to form a bond with this little guy, Stone. They were inseperable, it was the cutest thing. Danny still asks for him.

Eating at Ciro's, yummy.

It's Super Stone!

Happy Birthday Chon! Sheldon was born on Christmas day, so he gets an extra treat every Christmas.

Uncle Bubs, Stone, and Danny

Christmas morning. It's so nice having little kids now, they bring the magic back to Christmas.

The two little super heroes. Neither one of them wanted to take off their Superman outfits...the whole week! Danny's still wearing his as a matter of fact.

Hey Sebastian, what'cha doing?

The Jessup family, Sheldon, Marlene, and Sebastian

Christmas at my Grandpa's house...yes, he is a hunter, thanks for asking.

Little Luke

Clay and Daryl

We also had the treat of seeing my older brother Jorge. I haven't seen him in about 10 years. It was a nice treat. Here he is with his girlfriend Mechelle. Cute couple.

Well, hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! I can't believe it's over, but here's to 2010!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and were surrounded by the ones you love. We have been horrible about taking pictures this holiday but do have a few pictures we will be posting in the days to come.

Hope everyone enjoys their New Year!!

We love you all.

Cecilio, Danny, and Deborah

Picture of Success

After the first few days, I gave up, then we decided to give it another go and.....it worked!! I think he's got it! The last two days we've gone out to stores and he has done great!! No accidents.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Wow, these last few weeks have flown by! Here are a few things we've been up to trying to get ready for Christmas. Just one more week!

Setting up the Christmas tree. Danny really enjoyed this, this year. He especially likes to turn the lights on every day. That's his job for Christmas.

The final touch.
A little treat after all that hard work.
Here he is at the ward Christmas party. The primary was singing Christmas carols and Danny followed all the kids up there. Once he was up, he wasn't really sure what to do being that he's in nursery. He kind of just stood there and then started running around the stage.
And here's the classic Santa Claus picture. He was very excited to meet Santa, a very "cool" Santa might I add.

Frosty Fun

It snowed.........in El Paso! It was so beautiful and a great way to start off the month. Being from here, we knew it would only last a few hours, if not minutes, so we got out there and had some fun. Danny loved it!!

Here are some snowmen we found along the way. Danny wanted to take a picture with them. He said he was the little one and the other two were Mommy and Dad.

Here's to December! One of my favorite months of the year.

"It" Has Begun

It has begun. It is finally time. It cannot be put off any longer. What is it, you might ask....
POTTY TRAINING!
I have been dreading this for a while but I figured it was time. I know once all is said and done I'll wonder what took me so long to do this but in the meantime, wish us luck.

Day One: One accident, but did not go in the toilet all day, it was as if he was holding it for the diaper. We'll see how it goes today.

Birthday Treat

As if graduation cupcakes weren't enough, our Home Teacher brought over a giant cupcake this evening for our (Danny and me) birthday this weekend. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen, a HUGE cupcake! Not to mention it was delicious.

Graduation from ECI

As many of you may or may not know, Danny has a speech delay. He has been in a program called ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) for the the past year where he has a speech therapist and teacher that come to the house twice a month to help him with his speech. When a child turns three however, they are transitioned into the school district if the parents wish. As I mentioned before, Danny will be starting a class in the next few weeks which is like pre-school, with a focus on speech therapy. It's twice a week, three hours a day. I have a feeling he's really going to like it.


Today was graduation! How fast the year has gone. Here he is with his teacher, Ms. Liz and his speech therapist, Priscilla. Thank you for all your hard work guys. They brought him cupcakes for his birthday, and a little gift. We'll miss you.
