For Nonni

Here are a few updated pictures of Camila.  I have been slow to post to the blog because sleep seems to be first priority these days.  Camila caught her first cold last week, but thankfully she is all better now and in much better spirits.  She is starting to smile alot and “talk” back to you when you talk to her.  The boys still love her more than anything and are always giving her smooches on the head. 

 

My friend Kellie made me this wrap and this was the first time to try it out.  It is basically a long piece of fabric, but when tied correctly it works great. Camila will fall asleep in this and then I can go about my day doing all that need to be done.  Now if only I can convince Hector to wear it, we would be all set.  ( He seems to think he has an “out” if he is holding Camila and she falls asleep.  I think this is because he gets to take a nap himself too!)

Is that the ice cream truck I hear??

We were outside Tuesday afternoon and the boys heard the sweet sound of the ice cream truck.  We probably heard the music a good 15 min. before we actually saw the truck.  By that time, I was over the idea of getting ice cream (and I realized that I didn’t have any cash on hand)  But not to worry because wouldn’t you know the very next day we heard the ice cream music AGAIN!!  This time the boys and I were ready.  The crazy thing is, this was a different truck than yesterday and I have only seen the ice cream truck in our neighborhood a hand full of times since we have lived here. 

  Notice truck in background.  He just sold to a highschool kid up the street. Checking out the selections.

And there it goes.  Notice the slow sign on the back of the truck.  Well slow it was not!  It zoomed right past the neighbor across the street who was rushing outside to by some for her grandkids. 

And the winner is…..  Strawberry Short Cake for Joaquin and Crunch Bar for Marco.  YUM!!

Movie Night

 

We tried out our twin air mattresses the other night when Marco and Joaquin wanted a movie night.  Hector’s parents were in town the previous week and slept on an air mattress in the living room and the boys thought that was the coolest thing and requested to sleep on it every night they were here.  Well, of course there would not be room for 4 people on one mattress!  Here is the end result of our first movie night.  Notice Joaquin, who jumps around the living room constantly during the day is perfectly positioned in the middle of his mattress while Marco is half way off of his.  And he kept sliding further and further off.  Not to worry folks, we moved him back onto the mattress after plenty of photos were taken.  :)

Camila and the Boys

 

Here is Camila having some tummy time.  She looks so excited, doesn’t she?  :) Best picture I could get with all of them together.  Even with Marco giving me the “pirate- eye”. 

Pretty Pictures

 My wonderful friend came over to take some pictures of Camila. Here are just a few…

Sleeping Beauty

Here is Camila trying to sleep while her brothers run amok in the house.  She will just have to get use to all the noise.

Quiet Boys!!

 

Snowapalooza 2011

Another year with a big snow fall.  I thought that since last year we had to large snow events we would get a snow-free 2011.  Not so much.  This year was probably worse than last, with all the ice that accompanied the snow.  It kept us indoors for a solid 2 weeks!  At least there were a few good things to come of it all…. my 1st attempt at snow ice cream, Marco loves the snow, and Joaquin had fun eating the snow birthday cake he made for himself.
