First Bath...Together

Imagine, getting their first bath at 7 months, gross! Anyway. This was their first bath together. Gotta love the infamous bath pictures. Had to share.


Our little oompa loompas.

No it's not a mirror, you are seeing double!

Their hair is so long.

Nice and fresh!

Chalk the Block 2010

For the past three years El Paso has held an arts festival downtown called Chalk the Block. Local artists get to create chalk art and compete in different divisions. It's a free event so we figured what the heck. Well we got there kind of late and the kids zone was closing up but we were still able to see the artwork. It was very impressive. I think I definitely want to go back next year, just maybe a little earlier. As usual we didn't really get many pictures but here's an idea.

Hmmm...am I awake or asleep? On our way to the festival.

This one was cute.

So Thoughtful

A few months ago Emma got sick and we had to take her to the doctor. I stayed home with Ella and Danny while Cecilio took her. It was so cute because as Cecilio was getting her diaper bag ready Danny put one of his favorite toys in the bag for her. I asked him "You want Emma to take that?" and he said yes because she was sick. I thought it was so thoughtful of him. He really does love his sisters sooo much!

Go UTEP!

A few Saturdays ago we went to a UTEP football game. We've been trying to do more with the kids and they had done so well at our last outing we decided we'd try. Cecilio works on Saturdays and gets off around 6, so I had to make sure we were ready to just take off when he got home. I'm not kidding you, I spent the WHOLE day getting the kids ready and making sure we had everything we needed (diapers, bottles, etc.,).

We were a little concerned about the price of tickets and were going back and forth about whether we should spend that much money on a game with kids in tow but after what I went through to get them ready, WE WERE GOING.

As we were walking to the game a lady stopped us to look at the twins, and she asked if we needed tickets. She had an extra one and offered it to us at no charge! Whew, that was going to help out a lot! As we were buying the remaining tickets they didn't charge us for Danny and Cecilio used his (expired) student ID to buy his ticket, which meant, we got into the game free! Cecilio says he thinks the girl was just being nice because of the twins but thank goodness because the girls...hated it. Emma calmed down after we fed her but Ella was downright miserable. We tried putting her to sleep but it was just too loud. Danny kind of enjoyed it but you could tell he would have rather been doing something else. We were there for a total of about 45 minutes or so. I think it took longer to walk there. So what did we learn for next time? Um, there won't be a next time, not till they're a little older anyway. It created some pretty funny memories though.

We'll Miss You Daryl!

My little brother just moved away recently and it's been so sad. He was offered a really good job and could not pass up this chance. We're really excited for him and know that Dallas probably has a lot more to offer than good old El Paso though(unfortunately). We'll miss you Daryl!

Exciting News

This summer I was so excited to get to see my brother and his new bride Rachel. We had so much fun catching up and spending time together. We just recently got news that they're expecting! I'm so excited. They're going to be great parents. It's just a shame they're so far! I love you guys!

Mock Photo Shoot

I have been eyeing little tutus since the girls were born. They just look so cute! Well, when I started looking into buying them some I was amazed at how expensive they were especially when buying for two. So I started investigating and came across a video on YouTube showing how to make them. I had to try it. I was surprised how easy and inexpensive they were to make!! I think they turned out adorable, I love them! Here's a mock photo shoot of the kids we did in the backyard. My cousin is going to take professional pictures next week but I just couldn't resist taking a few with our camera.
