Sahuaro Ranch Park

We had a great time at the park with Mike's cousins from Colorado Andy and Melissa and their two kids.

Monique and Wyatt

Cool Cats Mo and Cash

Uncle Randy always has the coolest toys.

Grandma Laura, cousin Elaina and Aunt Pam

Alex flying another one of Uncle Randy's toys.

Cheese! Uncle Ryan, Grandma, Mo and Grandpa.

All four cousins. Alex, Monique, Wyatt and Elaina behind bars!!

Crazy Cash!

Can't leave Sahuaro Ranch without looking for the pecocks!

and seeing the old buildings

and playing in the orchards.

Cokkie Time

Our tradition of making cookies with Debbie and Stephanie.

 Monique got dressed up for the occasion.

Check out our great cookies!

These ones are the tradition of whatever dough we have left we make up our own.  I wish I can find the picture of our first year doing this....or not:)

(Steph: spike head Alex: helicopter Me: worm and Mickey Debbie: pretzel Mo: yellow blob with sprinkles)

And my oreo pops really didn't work!!

Party with Santa

This is our 3rd year of having a kids Christmas party where Santa checks on the kids again.  While waiting we went caroling and looking at lights.   

And perfect timing when we got back Santa just landed!

He talked to all of them making sure they are being good boys and girls.

The cousins - Alex just loves Santa.

So do I!

The Elias family.

Danny with his Nino's, oh I mean Santa and Tia Chavela.  :)
 And it can't be a kids party without the adults!!

All of us with our Walmart shirts, and not one was duplicated!

The kids draw names and she loves her crown!

Alex is always happy to hold her!

Another good party! Thanks Santa for another great appearance. 

Monique's First Dancce Recital

I thought the rehearsal was cute.

The first time on stage.

4th from the left

She is ready to dance!

Oh No and she come out with an attitude.

Much better smile for both of us!

Then later it is daddy's turn on stage for the first time.

It's recital time and I didn't get one picture of her but got the video.  Here is one from my camera.  It's not the best quality but you get to see how well they both did!

Great Job!!!!  Getting her flowers afterwards.

Then we went to eat afterwards and guess who lost another tooth while eating.

Well, it didn't really fall out. It started bleeding and was ready to come out and Tia Stephanie quickly came to the rescue and pulled it out.

He said he didn't know she was a dentist and that he was going to call her all the time to pull them out.  He is now working on the next one.
