Fishing

The Boys and Daddy went fishing for the first time during Ohio's "free" fishing weekend where you didn't need a license.

Out of the afternoon, only Alex caught any fish. Here he is with his first catch of the day.

Alex's Birthday!

Alex turned 4 and Grandpa 57!

Let the present opening begin!

Cars 2 for the Wii!

Maumee Bay State Park

There was a pirate boat in the little kid play area.

There was also a whale to play one.

Here are the boys in the fishing boat.

Lake Erie...we had a lake view room.

Walking along the Lake.

Walking in the woods.

We saw some deer in the woods...they weren't even afraid of us.

Back at an overlook.

When Alex is away......

Alex went with Grandma, Grandpa, and Hannah to Columbus to the Power Ohio show and to stay with Uncle Mark. While he was gone Mommy and Daddy took Miguel bowling for the first time. He didn't do too bad considering we couldn't get the bumper lane.

Is it going to knock anything down?

Daddy went just as a spectator...what a party poop!

Christmas 2011

Santa, you might want to write this down.

Is this guy for real?

The boys opening their presents from each other.

Alex running for more presents.

A nerf gun!!! What I've always wanted.

Chuggington!

Opps...almost dropped it!

And a shirt....Santa, I thought we talked about this last year.

Socks?!?! That's worse than the shirt.

Chore chart.....um.....ok.....we are taking applications for next year's Santa.

Miguel's 6th Birthday

Mom, Dad, and Alex got Miguel a keyboard this year.

The traditional picture spot.

Miguel and Alex, the little elves.

I hope the giant bird that made this nest doesn't come back. 

One more picture Mommy!

This post is dedicated to all those that remind me every time I see them that I haven't updated the blog since
Thanksgiving. This post is for you!

Fall Activities

Here is Miguel at a soccer game. Soccer kept us pretty busy September and October with 2 practices a week and a game every Saturday.

Here is Hannah and Alex at Mommy's cousin Brad's wedding. That is cousin Jesse in the picture with them.

Ethan and Miguel dancing it up at the reception.

The bride and groom getting ready to stuff cupcakes in each other's faces.

Let's party....don't you see how "cool" Miguel thinks he is with his gangster symbol...he thinks he's a rock star (in his just like Grandpa shirt...somehow that just ruins the rock star image).

Those of you that have been waiting for Halloween pictures will be very disappointed....Mommy forgot to take some. We were Mario and Luigi this year. Just close your eyes and imagine it...we looked cute. But we do have a picture of all our jack o lanterns.

Here they are all lite up.

Miguel's First Day of Kindergarten

The day my baby turns into a school kid has arrived. Here are pics of Miguel's first day.
