Happy LEAP day 2012

What a treasure of a LEAP day we have had!

So exciting to see the crocuses peaking through- of course, now I have major Spring fever and want to run right over to Oakland Nursery to start perusing the stock!

We started the morning saying 'Adios' to Diego as he left for preschool, a quick dash out for Mia's new haircut (ummm....) then back for a sunshining day to play outside and have our first picnic of 2012! Another favorite part of the day was achieving the 'trifecta' of all three kids up in their rooms for nap/quiet play- so Mommy had time to do 'fun' things like...the dishes...treadmill...and other exciting things that Mommy's do during nap time and bed time (contrary to the beliefs of our children, we do not have a party, eat chocolate cake, and/or watch TV....though we occasionally wish we could take naps...)

Anyway- happy LEAP day all!

Daddy Daughter dance 2012

just some!!

one little boy who LOVES tie-dye....dude.

another little boy who loves splish-splashing...

and a little girl who LOVES school- although the kindergarteners do not reach "100 days", they got to join in the celebration anyway!

Mattie-moo!

DIEGO: 2009

EIGHT MONTHS OLD! Mommy and Daddy say I am getting big TOO fast!

snow FUNNY

Baubles, Baskets, and Baby

THE BASKET...too bad I didn't have time to set it up better- some great natural light...

THE BAUBLES....Mia was very brave and now has two sparkling heart earrings...pink, of course.

BABY- Baby Jesus that is. We love the look on his face, he was very proud to bring this home from Sunday school...


So this month has been lacking in posts, pics and the like. We have all been passing around pretty much the same cold for the last 2 months....guess we all need to be quarantined in our own rooms- can I just leave a little basket of food for each kid in their room and let them fend for themselves for a few days whilst I Lysol the entire property!?

Our precious boys....

Brothers...aren't they sweet.
(just pretend we captured them BOTH looking at the camera)

its beginning to look alot like Christmas...

last year- Ita made three little Christmas hats-
this year....we have three little heads to put them on

Mmm, reindeer hair- great floss for these new teeth...


whatz up!
oh yeah, I've been really good!
well...except that sleeping bit...but I prefer to think of that as nighttime cuddles...

SIX months old!

no. we can't believe it either! Time is really flying by. 6 months old already- wowser! sweet as ever, almost crawling...boy do we need to re-babyproof this house....

the turkeys

THANKSGIVING Turkeys all in a row... just a few

of the things we are thankful for!

A few from vacation to Gatlinburg.

LOVE, love , LOVE.

The Penguins were quite cute...but then again, so are Landon, Diego, and Mia.

Very beautiful- we were surprised by a lot of color still in landscape.

At the Aquarium- Diego was ecstatic to find a tank full of "Nemo"s and "Dory"s. Cute

Nice

ahh, vacation.

well, look who just happened to be vacationing in the Smokies....
glad to say all kids are currently on the "nice" list- written...in INK...by Santa...we'll be reminding Mia and Diego of this ...often.

HallOween

almost ready to go out....Mateo must be hungry!
