Mickey Mouse

Alex got this cool Mickey Mouse that lights up and turns from Grandma & Grandpa Walin. By the look of his face I think he really likes it!

Alex and Brady playing so serious.

Grandpa came and showed them how to really have fun!

I love how Alex and Monique can make themselves a home almost anywhere.

Monique So Proud

She worked so hard to get the headband on her head. She walk really slow being so careful not to let it fall!

Oregeno's

We went to Oregeno's for the first time with Tio Tommy. They gave Alex some pizza dough to play with, this was really fun. Something different and the food was great. We will definitely go again!


Alex had lots of fun, he almost forgot that he was hungry.


Monique couldn't play with the dough, she just kept trying to eat it. So they brought her a cheese and she was happy!

Tio David Flashback

At my mom and dad's house the kids were playing with the keyboard that was around when we were little. David played it a lot, so much that when this song came on I automatically thought of him. You have to listen, and it isn't Monique's dancing that made me think of him!

Healthy Eater

Alex got a carrot and a radish out of my dad's garden.

He ate them both!

Monique loves to ride the horse! Tio Tommy was having fun too.

Alex gives us all hugs and kisses and says "bye, I am going to the store".


This is not the way to get on a chair! A rocking chair even.


Monique already showing Audrey how to climb. "You can do this, just put your feet in and stick your butt out".

Electric Ice

Making Electric Ice! Popsicles in the shape of guitars.


Alex said he likes this.


Monique trying it.


Alex playing his of course!


Monique yelling "Mom he is showing me his stomach again!"


Cash wanting a lick.


Mommy will give him one!

Snow

One of my parents neighbors brought back snow from Prescott. Luckily Alex and I were outside getting ready to go home and the neighbor came over and asked if Alex wanted to play in the snow. This was his first experience with snow. Now he keeps asking to go to the camping house where there is snow, "I won't be cold"!

Happy New Year

Happy New Years! We spent New Years at my parents house for the usual party.

They look good with their New Year hats!

Monique loving her bling from Tia Becky!



Tata playing Alex's guitar.

Monique getting ready for midnight.

Daddy and Monique. She made it to the new year and way past.

Monique finally asleep with Tia Chavela.

New Years day they are still blowing the horns.

Finally home for some R and R.

Happy New Year! Wish everyone the best in 2011.

The Day After Christmas

The Christmas pictures are posted backwards, so to see them in order start from the bottom and come up. It starts with Christmas Eve Stop #1 (Seckler Family).

****************************************************************************

With the busy schedule of Christmas, for the past two years we have opened our gifts the day after Christmas. This is a great way to really drag out opening gifts!


Stockings!!!

Alex got candy in his stocking and Mo got a play phone. They are both happy!

What do you got daddy?


Monique is done with gifts, she wants a snack!

Christmas Day Stop #2 (Villa Family)

Alex and Adrian playing a little hoops.

Just hanging out in the backyard.

The Elias Family

All the grand kids with Nana and Tata. This picture is just to funny, I could not post it. Look at all the great-grand kids. Wyatt's shirt is up & Ryan and Jacob looking/thinking what is his problem :), Alex getting Steph to look somewhere else, Monique can't handle all the noise and Adrian just has that look "come on lets get this over with"!

All the grand kids with Nana & Tata. This one is a little better.

Time to open the gifts!

Monique found the stockings with the banana inside!
