a bit here and there

 A visit to go see "white haired Grandma"  , Mateo kept escaping from all picture attempts

 a rare sighting of a snow owl

 Mia made a snow couch- I'll have to take her word for it as to its GREAT comfort and "coziness"

 Ta-da! introducing DIEGO!

a relic from the past....our Christmas shot- not sure why it was so grainy.  This was before we left for church for Christmas eve service- great to be able to go to our church Christmas eve for the celebration!!

so here we have December...

 Attempt to capture all three in a picture...oh well!

 Apparently third babies are required to do their own pedicures...

 ENOUGH with the picture attempts!!

 Santa BABIES!

 Wow, all three- almost all smiling in Santa Wonderland!

 Sweet!

 Future circus performer...

 Really!?

 Family effort- love all the ornaments with their pictures- my how time flies!

Eeew..pumpkin guts!!

Just a few from October...

 Some fun class treats for Diego's preschool.  BOO!

 HALLOWEEN 2012- Rainbow, Sunshine, and little Star....

Trick or treat trail at Gallant woods with good friends.

so...this September

 We discovered that Mateo likes to climb...ALOT...and quickly.  This usually occurs when I am trying to do something exciting...like unload the dishwasher...and, sigh, yes, our table usually stays this cluttered...

 We added to our art- in -the -garage installation....2012

 Mia returned to soccer with Daddy as her coach-
go STORM!

 We were silly...

 Mia was a great big sister to give little pushes to Mateo- which they both loved

 We went for some hikes at the state park...

 We inspected the mums....

We added to our family- WELCOME Flynn Rider...a.k.a Eugene Fitzherbert...

School days, school days!

Both kids were excited to go back to school.  Could this possibly continue for 12 more years- that would be GREAT!!

Big picture dump!

Bye bye first tooth

Mia is super duper excited to lose her FIRST tooth -  she actually has 2 giant adult teeth behind her baby teeth- so guess we'll be losing a lot of teeth soon! very exciting!!

guess where we are....

just a little blow dry....

Mateo picked up Mia's little hairdryer toy- he loved it- it really doesn't actually blow- but he just happened to have crazy hair this day when I snapped the pic! ha. love . it!
