Rattlesnake Lake

Halloween Night

It was raining, let me rephrase that. POURING. But we had fun. We stripped diego when we got done and had him take a warm bath. He grabbed his pumpkin the next morning and was ready to do it again, he even tried to walk to the neighbors house for more candy. We had to tell him he had to wait til next year.

Diego Sleeping

He LOVES sleeping on the floor. He puts his pillow right under his head, and his blankets are usually perfectly draped over himself. This example has him sleeping with his dinosaurs.

Ouch!!

Diego fell off a slide wrong and hit his forehead on an exposed cement block. Poor kid! We felt bad because we were standing right there and couldn't help him!!!

Body Art (tattoos diego style)

We take a lot of baths at our house. Diego likes to find something new to decorate himself with every day. These two examples are permanent black sharpie (which is still on him by the way), and green food coloring (which has permanently been splattered around the kitchen)

How do you like your eggs?

A few weeks ago, diego got into the fridge, took out the whole carton of eggs, and threw them all out the back door.

Its one of those things that you just make a memory instead of getting mad...

Vacation to Salt Lake City and Idaho Falls

We had a blast on our Utah/Idaho vacation! In salt lake city we went on a hike, to a water park, around temple square, did a session at the Salt Lake Temple, and went to the Zoo. Then in Idaho falls we visited my wonderful Grandma, Went to a small amusement park, visited relatives, went to the Idaho Falls temple, church, and made banana bread. It was a fun filled 6 days!

Diego was a trooper in the car. He did wonderful for the 1800+ miles and the 35+ hours. He mostly slept, played, looked out the window, and watched his favorite movie, Finding Nemo

Diego is Growing like a Weed

Our little baby is getting so tall! He is now in 3t clothes. And for anyone that has lifted him he is completely solid and weighs almost 35 pounds! We just love him so much!

Diego and Mommy

This is Me and Diego a few weeks ago. I think he looks a little bit like me but most people don't see it. What do you think?

Day on Boat for Blue Angels

Me, Diego, and Grandad Ed went out on the water to watch the blue angels fly overhead. The day was perfect! We had lunch and watched the show on a private deck. Diego was 'shooting' all the planes that flew by. The water was outrageously warm and relaxing. We jumped in multiple times.

Leah goes Blonde

I just got my hair done this afternoon and decided to go short and blonde. I think it looks cute and will work well for the summer months. Romeo thinks my head is glowing like a lightbulb...

Romeos BIke Ride

I am so proud of Romeo for keeping healthy habits like excercising. Lately he has been biking a lot. On this trip, he and my dad went 20 miles up the john wayne trail to the Snoqualmie Tunnel, then came 20 miles back. He said the views were amazing!

Summer is here!

We went to a little beach in Bellevue with Layne and the girls a few weeks ago. We are so excited for summer! Diego loves being in the water. So far this summer, he has walked right into a lake fully clothed and sat down and splashed around TWICE.

Family Vacation to Ocean Shores

We went on our first real family vacation to Ocean Shores the first weekend of June. It was short, but we had a great time! Diego Loved the Beach. He played in the sand with his new sand toys. His favorite thing to do was make sand cars on a bulldozed sand road, then stomp on them all.

There happened to be a huge kite festival going on the day we got there. They were really cool.

It was so nice to feel the peaceful ocean air, and spend quality time as a family.

Here you can see our new car in the background. We love the extra space!

Diego would run around and jump in the sand over and over. He had so much fun.

New Family Photo!

This is our new family picture! We took it at rattlesnake lake a few months ago.

Nice to Have a Yard

One thing about living with my parents is we have more space! (even if its shared). Diego really likes having a backyard to play in and a swing set. Also, its a place where we can be ourselves, hence diego can wear whatever he wants.
