The Snowiest Day in History!!!

This was such a MAGICAL day for us here in Texas!!! We had SNOW!!!! But not just any snow, but the most snow in history for our area! My kids had such a great time! My husband had such a great time as well, he coming from San Diego had never seen this much snow. I on the other hand living in the Northeast have seen snow before. I have already enjoyed the snow forts, the snowmen, the snowball fights, etc.

Annual Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo!

We had such a fun time at the annual Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo!!! I know I am such a Texan!!! But that's ok, I love it! I love the big bows, the big trucks, the big steaks, the longhorns...And so do my kids!!!

Family Visit from NYC

Poor JC was sick with RSV and fussy and tired. Somehow Pop-pop got him to sleep! I just thought this picture was too sweet not to post.

My Family from NYC came down to visit. It was soooo nice to see them and spend time with them! My kids just loved visiting with them!

What's been going on?

We have been so busy...like always. Here are a few snapshots of what has been going on lately.

JC got a new Bumbo chair & LOVES it!!! He is now 3 1/2 months old! Wow, it feels like just yesterday he joined our family. He is now doing so much now some good and some not so good, Laughing out loud, Batting & grabbing his toys, crying when I leave him, refusing to take a bottle, rolling from tummy to back & really trying to roll from back to tummy...He almost has it figured out.

Ricky riding his scooter he got from Santa

Me and Rick just hanging out at home. I am madly in love with this man!!! He Rocks my world in every way. I feel like I met I guess you can say my... soulmate?! Lately I have been feeling that he is the person I always dreamed of.

I didn't have them pose for this, they were chatting and they looked so happy that I grabbed my camera. Of course when they saw me coming with the camera they didn't look so happy.

Rick recently organized a coat drive for the Arlington Association of Hispanic Firefighters...He is the president ;) And they had a goal of 250, well they exceeded the goal by a whopping 500+ coats!!! They had a huge finale at a fancy place called Blackfins! I am so proud of him! Here are a few pictures of him & I at the finale! And last but not least, Eevie and I headed out in the COLD COLD weather to stand in line and pick up our GIRLSCOUT COOKIES!!! Whoop Whoop!!! It is that time of the year. Her goal this year is 175 boxes.

Rick's Birthday

This year for Rick's birthday we went and had couples massages and lunch together. It was really nice to just spend some time with only him, enjoying his special day.

Here's a picture of the boys hanging out on the couch!

Happy Birthday to a very special Husband & Father!!!

Christmas 2009

I have been so busy lately!!! That is my excuse for not blogging. So where to begin?

Rick & I have been able to enjoy some time together this month! We recently went and saw a Stars Game, I love going to Stars Games!!! And we also went and saw the new movie Avatar 3D, that movie was so great! I was a little surprise that I sat through a 3 hr movie and enjoyed every minute of it. I laughed, I cried, I felt like I was there! It was a Christmas gift in itself to be able to spend some one on one quality time with Rick. It makes me very happy when I can get away from the house and just hang out with my husband.

This year we had a White Christmas! Christmas Eve morning we started to get a few flurries, and by 8:00pm it was snow covering all the grass and hard surfaces, but not the roads. It really put me in the Christmas spirit.

Our Backyard Christmas Eve Night

Our Backyard Christmas Eve Early afternoon

Presents from Santa-The kids didn't need anything this year! I have been shopping and giving them things all year long so Santa only bought just a few things for each of our kids. And the funny thing was...they were just as happy with a few gifts as they were when they got a bunch of stuff last year!

Good Morning Ricky!!! Santa brought Ricky a new bigger bike, he went from a 12inch to a 16 inch, a new scooter, toothpaste, and a Wii game. He also got a remote control helicopter & a new coat from mom & dad.

Santa bought Eevie a few books, a new scooter, a Wii Game, a DS game, and the one item they were so excited about this year was their TOOTHPASTE?! We have crazy kids. LOL

JC got a new coat, some bibs, and a few onesies

This was how our White Christmas looked in Mansfield TX.

Good Morning JC it's Christmas!

Rick got 2 pairs of shoes and a golf store Gift Card from the family.

I got a foot massager, new soft fuzzy robe, and a really cool digital mini-camcorder. ( I will be posting some videos later!)

Eevie checking out her presents

While I was cooking Christmas dinner, Rick & the kids(including our Neighbor and Eve's BFF Skylar) made a snowman with the left over snow in the front yard.

In the evening my parents and siblings came over for Christmas dinner and presents with my family. The kids got tons of stuff! We got 4 of the newest, coolest, Wii games-Super Mario Bros. Wii (OH SOOOO FUNN!!!), Wii sports Resort, Winter Olympics Mario Vs. Sonic (SUPER COOL!), and Mario Party. Ricky got a Basketball goal & basketball & also a huge tonka helicopter, Eevie got 2 new DS games, and a bunch of DS stuff, and they got a gumball machine to share. Me and Rick got Navy Federal Visa gift cards!!!

Here we all are playing the Wii, I really have to concentrate if I want to keep up with the kids!

We are so blessed with our family who live close by, and also our kids who keep us on our toes! It is so nice to be able to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ every year during the holidays.
