Too real to be funny :-)

This is SOOOOO Danny right now....!

"Chee!"

Listen carefully, and you'll hear Brian's first word... Brian saw me hold up the camera, so he said "Cheese!" THAT is his first word (outside of Mama and Dada). Can you believe that?! What a ham.

Vacation Pictures

We just got back from two weeks in San Diego! Awesome time visiting family, not so much fun travelling, but really, what else should you expect when travelling with 4 little boys? United Airlines made things more fun on the way when they cancelled our flight right after we gave up our rental car and while we were en route to LAX... forcing us to find alternative plans and extend our vacation for 2 more days. Luckily, my sister Kathy was gracious and welcoming and put up with all of us again!

While in San Diego, we kept quite busy!! We went to Tony and Tasha's high school graduation, the beach, the San Diego Zoo and Seaworld.

My sister's kids, with my kids!

Here are some pictures from their graduation....

Tony & Tasha are standing, 3rd & 4th from the right...

Tony!

These are from Sea World...

JC, Carlos and Danny went on a couple of the big rides... They LOVED this one!

They were very excited to go on this one... and once they did, they HATED it! Way too scary for them, but hey, at least they tried it once. These pictures are of the car they are actually in. Look for JC's green shirt. Danny is sitting next to him, and Carlos is in the last row.

And these are from the world famous San Diego Zoo...

Summer finally arrives...

The weather FINALLY got above 80 degrees. The boys have been checking the temperature everyday and begging to play in the pool. On Saturday, we finally gave in and JC set up the pool. Personally, I thought the water was freezing, but they loved it!! Guess that is what matters...

Soccer!!!

Here are a couple pictures of Carlos playing soccer this spring...

Cake Time

Here we are celebrating JC's birthday last week. These are my very favorite guys in the whole world!!!

Mmmmmm..... CAKE!!! Somebody actually passed up chocolate cake in our house... wow. For a minute I questioned whether or not we are really related...! :-)

Brian Learning to Stand

This video is a little grainy b/c it was bedtime. That is my favorite time of the day with Brian... he gets a little goofy when he's tired! :-) This is from April 1st, the first day he took steps on his own. I kept hoping to catch him walking on video, but as you'll see, he just goes up, down, and all around!

And a month later... he is everywhere! The video below is a quick snippet of him walking... quick b/c he is just too fast already! Whenever he sees the camera, he comes charging at me to play and wrestle. Makes it hard to get a good picture or video!

Easter Memories

These are some of our memories from Easter...

Coloring Easter Eggs. Not the greatest picture of me, but cute boys!

Carlos' newest Webkinz came in his Easter Basket

Brian inspected all of the baskets before his brothers found them!
