Oh boy, I have not been doing good with keeping my blog up to date! I will try to get better at it! Whew, do I have so many pics to post!
Here are some random holiday images around our house from Christmas.

Isn't Andrea's holiday outfit the most adorable thing?

Ralphy, kickin it under the idol tree, oops I mean the Christmas tree.

(Idol tree comment is a family joke!)

I love this angle I caught with Ralphy looking up, almost seemingly at the tree.


We had lovely holidays, with Megan and Andrea spending most of their three weeks at our house. What bliss that was to have a baby going through milestones in the midst of the holiday stuff!
Here are some photos of major CUTENESS from the December visits,

through the holidays and into first week of January.

Note the bib signage. Haha!

Big eyes!

Mason and Andrea have a fun moment.

I was so thrilled that I caught this UBER adorable grin on Andrea's face!

My youngest sister, Melissa with my lil nephews, Connor and Mason.

Connor and Mason's new puppy, Saylor, was lounging next to the gifts on Christmas Eve.

Andrea has HAD IT with her hat!

The adults smiling so nice, but babies just have to fuss sometimes!

Gangs all here on Christmas Eve! On top left is Skyler, top right is Mason, then Melissa, Megan, holding Andrea, and Connor is in the front.

We posed Andrea in front of the tree, next to the gifts.

Jacob wasn't feeling good, but after nana prayed over him, he was so much better that he came out for gift opening! Thank You God!

Sweet Dear Layout

Well, I am instituting alot of change in my life!
My weight is such a burden to me. So I need to make changes to get my health improved! I have already started watching my food intake. No soda, no eating after 8pm. No fried foods. I started doing Wii Fitt over the weekend with my parents! Not only is it alot of fun, but I am exercising and not realizing it until after each session!

I just finished this LO. I also just realized I mislabeled her age as 2 months, and she was one month here. So that will be changing. The writing was not as good as I would like anyways.

Thanksgiving 2008 photos

Here are some photos I took from Thanksgiving Day 2008. (With my new Canon EOS Rebel XS!)

My Niece, Megan and her four month old daughter Andrea.

My bro in law, Ed, getting ready to put some food in the big outdoor oven

My youngest sister, Melissa, holding a sleeping Andrea when I first arrived.

No one remembered to bring/get napkins so Ed used the leftover Power Ranger ones from my nephew, Connor's birthday party. Funny huh?

Isn't this a pretty table? Ed actually set it up like this and then called me to get a photo before everyone sat down. I have my family trained well!

Look! Andrea is trying to lift herself up to crawl!

My nephew, Jacob is texting a friend and my dad is sitting next to him watching the Cowboys game.

I think this is my favorite photo from Thanksgiving. Andrea is laying on her mom's shoulder.

My bro in law, Donnie with his son Jacob. Nice to see smiles!

Um....slight problem in the outdoor oven. Ed had turned on the fan inside, not realizing my mom had just put the sweet potatoes in there. The fan blew some of the marshmellow topping off and it smoked really bad on the bottom of the oven.

Camp Shadow Pines 2008

A few weeks ago, I went on a family church retreat with members of my church at Camp Shadow Pines, near Heber, AZ, in the White Mountains. Weather was so awesome and I had a really nice time!

Don't I look all relaxed!

This was part of the facilities at Camp Shadow Pines. Very "summer campish" but had a great time and it only cost $80 per person! The weather was awesome too!

Actual grass behind me and my friend Sis Stacy!

This is an adorable girl named Abigail, who is the daughter of one of my friends. She loves getting her pic taken, so I let another lil girl take this pic. She did well!

This is me and my BFF Sis Mellisa in front of the welcome sign.

Pastor's wife, Sis. Lydia, Sis Rebecca Jones at the piano (our guest speaker at the women's breakaway on Saturday am,) Sis Melba and Sis Anna, singing worship songs before we start in.

A big group photo!

This is Pastor Michael Jones and his wife Rebecca, who came from Indiana to preach and teach, standing alongside my pastor's wife, Sis Lydia and my pastor, Daniel Lizarraga.

Some of the kids having fun with dandelions!

Some of us gals in front of the ever popular welcome sign!

We had hayrides too!

Softball game was organized on Saturday afternoon, although I was taking a nap in my room because my legs were incredibly sore from volleyball the night before in the gym.

Friday Bonfire Service!

Pastor Jones bringing down the Word of God at the Bonfire service on Friday evening.

My BFF, Sis Mellisa and me at the Bonfire Service.

Crazy Mellisa! Love her fun personality!

Volleyball on Saturday afternoon.

Horseshoes!! I played this for awhile. Loved it!

This is me and my friend, Sis Deanna. I call her Sister Smiley because she is ALWAYS smiling!!
