There is no place like. . . Kansas!

We are back from the frozen state of Kansas. The day we arrived it snowed 11inches! I have to admit it was great fun to have a white Christmas, especially because we could stay at home and do NOTHING!

I told myself that I was going to take a ton of photos over the holiday; alas, I have failed you all! Here are the ones that I did manage to take.


Here are all the brothers playing doubles tennis on the Wii. So funny to watch them all play together. Thanks Elliot for sharing your game!



Auntie Becky playing with Charlie Bear. We suspect that Charlie would often confuse Becky for mommy. Poor kid is just not used to being around so many blondes!


Christmas morning was fun for all! Typical, Abby liked Charlie's rocking horse the best.


Once Abby discovered how cool her own gifts were, Charlie finally got some riding time.


Charlie found the apple in his stocking. He decided to test out his new teeth. When he was done it looked like a little mouse had gnawed on it.


All bundled up to play in the snow. Uncle Ammon was her snow buddy. They made their first snowmen together (Ammon is from California!) Once Ammon finished the first 7ft snowman Abby said to him, "He needs a friend." So sweet Uncle Ammon got to work making Frosty's friend that she named Monkey. Oh the workings of a three years old mind!


Daddy took her outside a few days later. This is a fun action shot of Abby throwing a snowball at Carlos.



Auntie Katie is tons of fun! Not only is she the maker of fun jewelry, but she is a great playmate!



OK, you just cannot tell how awesome this moment was by the picture.

Last night she put on her princess dress with princess high-heeled shoes. A crown, necklace and bracelet. If you look in her stroller there is not only her prince and princess dolls, but her wand. Each handle on the toy stroller has a purse. One has her favorite stuffed bear, and the other full of other treasures. She could not have been more "girl"! LOVE IT!

We hope your holidays were full of family, friends and great joy!

Really???

I have noticed other people posting the "readability test" of their blogs. I thought it would be fun to embarrass myself and see the effect of reading only childrens literature has taken on my writing.

I was certain gonzalezwithaz was going to be on a sub-elementary level, especially since all I ever write about are my babies, what they doing, eating, watching. . . you get the picture.

Drumroll please!

REALLY? I mean really?

Using the work Extravaganza must pushed me into the "genius" category. I guess motherhood has not zapped all my brain cell yet.

What can I say, I'm a genius really.

The Birthday Extravaganza!


The birthday celebrations continue! Yesterday the cousins came over to play and have the family mini party.


This is what mom does with the left over cakes from her friend b-day party. I could not bare to make ONE more cake.




Opening presents is serious business!


WOW! Look at the jacket Aunties Becky and Katie sent!


A dream come true, her own tools with a working drill. JUST LIKE DADDY!


Fun for everyone, including Charlie.


What every 3 year old girl needs, a fuzzy pink jacket and a drill!


And thanks to Mamita for the slide.

My Abby

My Abby is officially 3! I cannot believe how quickly that last year has flown. She is quite a little lady that is very bright with STRONG opinions! Her favorite color is pink, her favorite food is from Chik-fil-leg. And her favorite past times are reading books and watching football with daddy.

The Day Before Party
