Fun with Kids

Its a little frightening how much Aurora actually looks like Enrique.

Don't our three men look amazingly alike? We got this photo of Enrique from a friend's birthday party he went to. Joaquin is wearing a cute little beanie a friend made for him. This picture makes me laugh every time I see it.

Joaquin's Laugh

I thought nothing could be better than his sweet smile, now I wonder if anything can beat his laugh. I love these boys. Joaquin tends to steal the show here, but be sure to appreciate the loving smile and excitement his older brother shows too.

Cookie Making

Enrique had strep throat and had to be quarantined to his bedroom all weekend, and then some. He was so bored and requested that we make cookies when he was all better. Here they are.

Enrique did all the mixing, all from the cookbook from Grandma Sandoval. The recipe was super simple just flour, sugar, margarine and an egg (which he promptly ran over to borrow next door when I said we were out.)

They kept everything pretty clean too.

The cookies turned out really cool and quite yummy. There are no after cookies because they got eaten too quickly. I guess that means we'll have to make them again soon.

Fun in a Blanket

This is an obvious Papa activity, swinging 3 month old in blanket with 6 year old with 20 month old hanging on. And like all Papa activities, this too was very fun and successful. Thank you Papa.

Random Kid Stuff

We played hulabaloo for almost an hour. It was fun.

Say "Cheese"

"Be reverent for the prayer."
I guess it wasn't very reverent of my to take this picture, but I couldn't resist.

Dear Grandma, we love our fleece pajamas. Hint Hint:)

All snug in his spiderman super hero suit and ready to go, yawn.

Joaquin on Sky Blanket

His fuzz on his head sticks straight up.

Getting stronger everyday.
You try laying on your tummy and holding your head up, excellent workout.

Rosy red cheeks

He has a birthmark on his lower right cheek.

We love you Joaquin!

Aurora Mei with her baby doll

Trying to comfort her baby doll with her sippy cup.

These two look like they have the same hair do.

what a sweet little mama

Joaquin and his elephant

We're so proud of our little guy. Isn't he adorable? At the very end of this video Aurora reaches for the camera and I was afraid she'd touched the lens because the images were really cloudy, but it now works fine and we can all look forward to more pictures and videos in 2010.

Thank you Aunt Amanda

Play Dough Fun

The Play Dough Hamburger toy is a big hit.

Thank you Amber and Jesse

Christmas

Happily wearing his PJ shirt backwards, I don't know why, I've stopped fighting him on it. Its just the way he likes it. Doesn't he look happy?

Miles was last year's big Christmas to our family, it only seemed appropriate that we include him in this year's festivities.

"Nandy!"

The perfect winter suit for Joaquin's first Christmas.
