Fun at the Park

This week we took Mr. Ocean to the park. Oh my goodness, he loved it!! What kid wouldn't right? We had a really nice time as a family. Here are a few pics we took.



The first thing we did was go straight for the slide.






This is what he looked like the first time he went down:

This is what he looked like the second time:

Next, we played in the sand for a while. Danny started off playing by himself but quickly noticed the laayyddiieess, and had to go talk to them. I have to say he is a ladies man. I wonder if I should be worried?

Next we played a little ball.

And for the finale, here's some fun pics we took.

Hi

Hi guys. Hope everyone is doing well. As for us, everyone is FINALLY better! January and the beginning of February were rough. All of us got sick, but thankfully we've all recovered. Danny is doing so well. After several bumps and bruises he has really got the walking thing down. With that under his belt he is starting to get into trouble around the house. I have to admit it's cute.

Another thing he's started doing is dancing. He absolutley loves music. If he hears a song he likes on tv, he'll stop what he's doing to listen. If he really likes the song he'll start dancing too. Right now, his favorite songs are the theme song to The Office, any Jack Johnson song, songs from the Apple commercials, and the theme song to George Lopez. If he's playing and he hears any of these songs, he'll actually stop what he's doing and put on a big smile and start dancing. It is so adorable.

He's also started giving hugs. It's kind of funny because we hadn't taught him how to give hugs yet. I was walking around church with him one Sunday and he just went up to a little girl and hugged her. It was the cutest thing. He loves hugging Neo and Trinity (our two dogs). He loves them so much.


Independence has become very important to Danny this month:

Our little boy is growing up. I can't believe how fast he is growing at this point. It's amazing. He's everything a little boy should be.

Happy Valentines!!

"Look what I can do, look what I can do!"

Thanks to my loving husband, Cecilio, now we have to wait till Danny goes to sleep to watch movies.

Merry Christmas

It's so nice to be close to family during the holidays. This Christmas we spent Christmas Eve with Cecilio's family and Christmas day with my aunt Marcy. Cecilio's mom made tamales with champurado (a hot chocolate like drink made out of corn maiz) and bunuelos (a fried pastry) for dessert. They were delicious. As a family tradition we then stayed up until 12 midnight to open gifts. (Although some people cheated and caught a snooze.) We had such a nice time. We ate, played games, ate, watched movies, ate, watched another movie, ........well, you get the idea. Just to give you an idea of how much we ate I think I would be totally ok NEVER seeing another tamale in my whole life.









Christmas Day we spent with my aunt Marcy. We had the special treat of talking to Clay, who is serving his mission in Rosario, Argentina. He sounds wonderful. I still can't believe he is on a mission. He is the youngest of us all and it is so amazing to see him growing up, especially in the gospel. He shared some spiritual experiences with us and then bore his testimony in spanish. It was nice to be reminded of what Christmas is all about. After the waterworks show, we then opened gifts and for the finale, we wished Sheldon a happy birthday! You're getting old Sheldon. You gotta love the candle on his cake.

Snow Day

In November we had the rare treat of snow! Eventhough it only lasted about 2 days, we enjoyed every minute of it.

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!
