Fun Times Inside
Running with the geese. Rio loves to bring snacks for the geese at the park, when the geese fly out for the night we know it is time to start back home.

Sweetest kiss ever, this should be in a magazine for sure.

Better Late then Never Halloween Pictures

For Halloween this year we had a gorgeous pirate, the most handsome sailor, and the sweetest and most beautiful octopus ever. Sol had an extra car costume too because her costume was not car seat friendly. Isn't she the cutest 80's jazercise teacher you ever saw?

Family Trip

Happy Birthday Rio

We took a trip to Ruidoso for Rio's third birthday. We sang to her out on the balcony.

This picture was just the cutest so I had to put it in, everyone looks so happy. It all went really smooth. Staying in a hotel with 3 kids was not that hard and they all really enjoyed the pool and the "kakuzee" as Rio calls it.
Another goofy girl who likes to wear goggles. It is really odd how many pairs of goggles you can find in our house, you would think we were going to swim in the olympics.

Cruz is so easy going, and such a superstar.
Now how cute is this? Sol and Cruz are almost as big as Rio. Rio takes such good care of her brother and sister, and she still always wants to hold them and love on them. One of the things I enjoy most about having 3 babies is watching them love and care for each other. Rio is always conscience of Sol and Cruz haveing toys and blankets and when they cry she runs to them to see if she can help, she is their favorite entertainment. Even for 7 months old you can tell that the little babies care for their siblings. If Sol is having a rough day Cruz seems to require less attention, he lets her get what she needs and that goes the other way too. If Rio falls and crys the twins react to her, if she really wails then we have 3 crying babies,but they settle fast. It is a joy watching love grow.
Happy just being together.
29 years old, I can not believe it. I feel so fortunate to have so much in only 29 years and I can't wait to see what the future hold for us.

Where did December go?

Christmas outfits
Rio in old town with Auntie Rachael and Uncle Eli. Can you see Grana in the background holding Cruz, with Sol in the stroller? We had a lovely day. The twins had a doctors apointment and since Eli and Rachael wanted to go to old town we all loaded up in the van and made a day of it.
Auntie Kristi and Sol
Annie Jean, Sol Sophia and Cruz Andres. These three babies were party animals over the holidays, they all loved sharing everything. Rio calls all the babies by their full names, it is very cute.
I really wanted this family picture, I am so happy that we have one with all the babies awake.

I can not believe that we are already in the new year. 2007 was a wonderful year for our family and we are so thankful for our 3 beautiful babies. Rio really enjoyed the holidays, she loved opening presents and turning on the Christmas tree that she "made for baby Jesus." Sol and Cruz were such good babies through all the loading and unloading in the van and they really enjoyed all the brasos from the family. It was a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year. 2008 is going to be a blast, Jeffrey and I look forward to all the new experiences to come with our 3 kids (It still freaks me out to think we have 3).
