ONE! one! ONE! one! ONE WHOLE YEAR....

hey brother- are you coming out any time soon??? this was taken about ONE week before Diego arrived....and Mama was more than READY!

Wow....this time last year....


HORRAY! where does time go, so much fun to have such a wonderful little boy in our lives! We feel so blessed for such a sweet little son, sweet little brother- sweet baby boy!

Happy Birthday MY BABY BOY!

espanol....


so, DIego wasn't exactly timid...but he wasn't a crazy cake smasher either...though, we did 'cut him off' after several handfuls

please note the 'assistant' finger entering the picture....apparently Mia was applying for the role of official cake tester...

so fun to celebrate with family- this was a serious birthday cupcake meant to share! Glad you could come Cousin Carson!

Okay, so its not quite baby Diego's birthday...but we were so excited to have the family together to celebrate our little Dude...

Easter Celebrations

Some pretty important "dudes" in my life!

Searching, searching...

all ready to go to the Easter Celebration! He is RIsen!

Hat...

My sweet, sweet babies

Making a bird house...

LOOKING BACK...Bird house 2008...if we had another picture- you'd see me with a giant DIego belly...we made this bird house about 1 week before we welcomed the newest angulo...



We made our annual spring bird house- but, ironically, we failed to get a picture of the Dude making is first footprint decoration on the bird house- oops! probably because it was a two person job and we don't quite trust Mia with the camera...yet!

Party balloons

We were getting ready for a birthday party! We were celebrating birthdays for all the Spring CHICKS...well, and the one little Rooster!

Growing "duck hair" and Duckie's first haircut...

Mia and I had fun planting seeds, watering, and watching the Duckie Hair grow! After about 10 days Duckie was ready for her first hair cut! SNip SNiP!

Learning new tricks & just being cute!

just being a cutie


Mia is learning to RIDE A BIKE! what a big girl...

Look at that concentration....

Angulo "art"

Mia cooked something special for Diego...I think it was 'potato salad'

a fun cuddle with Pappaw...

getting ready for a bike ride with Mammaw....

Hola Tio Javi!

We had a short- but great- visit with Rod's brother , Javier. The kids really enjoyed meeting him again (Diego for the first time) Too bad we didn't get a better picture of the new buddies- but I guess this will do! Hopefully next time the whole family will get a chance to come so we can hang out with Tia Mirna and Cousin Luca!

how sweet it is...

what every girl needs- a trusty pair of pliers to adjust her rainboots...


a firm 4 point grasp on his sippy...

Do I really need a title....

A new favorite toy- the Dude has wheels!


Well...it started innocently with just Mia playing with them...but, hey, why not! Does Rod's pic remind you of anyone??
