Family Pictures

How do you think they came out?

Saturday Night

Tia Elaine came over to babysit so me and Luis could go out to dinner and a movie that she got us gift cards for as our Xmas present. She blew up the ball pit she got the twins for their Xmas present.

Lili likes it!
Felix wants Dexter to play.
Me and Luis had a good time out without the kids. Thanks Elaine! Great present!

Santa Felix

He likes to dip his face in the bath water, and when I put bubbles, we got Santa Felix.

Christmas 2007

We got together to see some Xmas lights on this street that goes all out. Then we headed off to Big Nana's house, as we always do. Here is our family picture...

Lili with Santa...
Felix with Santa...
They both cried, even though Santa was their own Dad!

Then we spent the night in SB and woke up to a great Xmas morning with lots of presents
Another great Christmas :)

Is it Xmas yet?

Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope everyone has a great Christmas with the ones they love, like I will. I'll try to remember to get pictures to post later.

Lili remind you of anyone?

maybe Deb from Napoleon?

Before...

After...

So what do you think? I like it!

Notice in the before picture, you can hardly even see the palm tree cause it was so windy that day! In the after picture the floors wet from the rain.

15 month Dr. appt

Before we got ready for their dr. appt, I made sure they cleaned the house...

They had to get 5 shots each cause their last Dr. had not given them all the ones they needed at their last appt. My poor babies! It was a hard visit, and I went alone. But they got new books from the clinic. They are both healthy and doing good. Lili is 24 lbs 6 oz and 31 1/4 inches tall. Felix is 22 lbs and 9 oz and 31 1/2 inches tall. I can't believe Lili has almost 2 pounds on him!

I know they are still to young, but I let them have lollipops since they had to be poked so much.

Visit from Tia Elaine

Elaine & Dexter came by to visit on Sunday...

Felix was amazed by Dexter's food and water...
Lili was more interested in the doggie...

Busy Saturday

I started the day early with an 8am ultrasound appt. Then I took Chone to a softball clinic. It was really good for her to get ready for her first season of softball. Then we all headed out to take family pictures, after going to Kohl's and Target to get white shirts for everyone. It went pretty well, and I hope we get a good one.

Then we went to a holiday event in our town that they had every year. Chone's school choir performed. Here she is singing her heart out.

Santa was there...

Lili
Felix
Chone
They had fake snow again. Of course there was big kids throwing snowballs, so all the other kids ended up in the toddler section.

We made it through the day... I was very tired by that evening.

Friday

``
Chone got a Terrific Kid Award and school and the assembly was this morning. She also brought home a perfect report card! I am so proud of her!


The twins were playing with some scarves Chone left out, so I put them on. They looked so cute!

Family Traditions

Ever year at Christmas time we would put up our nativity set (nacimiento). When my parents moved to SB I got the one that was here at the house. I saw this (picture below) online and wanted it for the kids. So I ordered it and some other Xmas presents. I probably won't take out the real one this year since the twins will probably break something. For the same reason we have the outdoor white metal/white light tree up in the livingroom. I hope next year we can have a real tree and the real nacimiento up. Oh, and we also have a gingerbread nativity kit we are going to do. It's like those gingerbread house kits, but a nacimiento.

Chone hid the baby Jesus, that's why it's not in the picture.

Here are Lili and Felix playing with it. See our sad tree in the background.
Inspired by Elaine's cakes, Chone wanted to make one of her own. Since I made her come to the grocery store with me, I told her I would buy her one thing. She picked cake mix. It's a three layer French Vanilla cake with Cream Cheese frosting! Yum!
(Elaine, we found some of your old cake stuff here at the house)

Cupcakes not at school

At Chone's school there is this new thing were you cannot bring in unhealthy snacks to share with the class. I guess some kid's Mom didn't get the memo and sent in cupcakes for his birthday. Since they can't eat them at school the teacher sent them home in ziploc baggies. Chone remembered it was in her backpack and showed me...

When I saw it from the side, I couldn't stop laughing! It was a prett flat cupcake!
Of course she still ate it :)

Slippers

We went to buy the babies some slippers at Walmart. These Felix tried on were a little to big!

Felix Pushing Lili on the trike

Thanksgiving

Here is my family on Thanksgiving. Even Dexter got in the picture!

We surprised the Phi with Chone's old bike.
Look at that surprised face!
This is what happens when you leave Felix with the guys outside...
" What's this?"
"Is anyone watching me?"

"Score! Now, how do I open these?"

Chone picked at Elaine's turkey cake thinking no one was looking.
But she got caught red handed!

Another Day

The twins were playing with their new trike, and Felix got on the back while LIli pushed him around. Notice in the background all the diapers on the floor. They found an open bag and pulled them all out.
While my little cousin Bubbs went to the movies, we babysat Jasmine, his school project baby flour sack. Chone treated that thing like it was real, and can't wait to do it when she is in 7th grade. I had an egg in 7th grade.

Painting the Roses Red

I noticed there was a lot of roses in the back yard, so I cut them and put them in a vase. They were very beautiful! When Luis got home I told him they were left on the doorstep. He didn't believe me. I guess I'm not a good liar. :)

Lili-In-The-Box

Today Lili sat in the toy box for about 2 hours. She watched TV and played with the toys in there. This picture is from another day, but that's what she looked like. She can entertain herself for so long, where Felix is on my leg fussing for me to hold him or play with him. Chone was like Felix, but worse. And Felix's hair looks better, but is still way short. Luis cut it shorter so those lines blend in now.
