Let it snow Let it snow

We had snow can you believe it in February.

So we got the boys all bundled up to go out and play.

 They played and made snowmen

 They loved being out in the snow

 It melted quite a bit the next day. But, they still wanted to play in it

 More and more went away the next day. But, they still wanted to be in what was left.

 Until this was all it was left and they still wanted to play with the snowman that was still here.

Surprise for Ben

So when Ben's parents were here back in October for a visit. His dad was telling me about all the business's trips he had to go on. One of them was going to be in San Antonio,TX around Ben's Birthday. Well they decided that they were going to drive down from UT to go to it( his Mom was going with him.) well they were also to make a pit stop here. They were originally not going to tell me but then decided to. I am glad that they did.


So when the time came...... I got ready for them to come and he had no clue that they were coming. I was texting his mom all day and she was giving me updates of where they were at.

I was getting so nervous when it was getting closer and closer because, I really wanted my plan to work and it did. Ben was truly surprise.

 His baby brother even came as well which I knew as well. That even made to more of a wonderful surprise for him. He truly loves his brother (and the rest of his family) I hope that my own sons will love each other as much as they do when they get older. 

But I know that they will. Since that have a great example with their Dad and their Uncle.

Jesus want me for a sunBEAM!

Zack is in sunbeams now. He was crying at first. But so were a lot of other little sunbeams since it is very different. They went into a big room with lots of people in it and they are use to going to nursery which it is in a classroom. But he was fine after a while.

It is so hard to believe that my Zack my monkey is a sunbeam now and he has the same sunbeam teacher that I did. He is growing up so fast. But, every parent says that about their child. Next month Max my little monkey goes into nursery witch is the first step and he will be separated for Ben and I for 2hrs. If he doesn't cry for a long time.

I love my boys so much and Ben and I are doing the best that we can to raise them right. Have them be good, rightouse, humble, hard working men.

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve was a bit different this year.

We went over to my sister's in laws Richard and Phyllis. Yes my family is not normal.

Their was "talk" of a big snow storm. hahahaha.

So we had our Christmas Dinner on Christmas eve. Instead of our traditional dinner Chinese food out.


They even gave all of our presents from them that night as well.

When we got home the boys opened one present from us

 It was P.J.'s!!!!!!!!! like every year. I had that growing up so I wanted to continue with my boys.

 It was so cold out that night. We were able to do a fire in the fire place.(unlike last year.)

So when the fire was going Zack wanted to roast a hot dog. So, we did let him.  ( that is what Ben's family do on Christmas eve and have chili.)

 Max wanted a gram cracker while they were doing the hot dogs.

So after we got our pj's on we watch Christmas eve on Seamse Street.

We have tried to combine our tradunatals. Also have made our own.

Christmas

This year for Christmas both of my boys were old enough to enjoy it.

 We got down their stockings and they just went in and dug out everything that was in it.

 Then it was time to open Christmas presents.

 Zack and Max both just went for it and had a ton of fun opening them and they even wanted to help Ben and I open ours as well. 

 After a bit of opening we skyped with Ben's parents so they can see our boys open their present from them. Oh how technology have change so much.

That  afternoon we went over to my parents house for the gathering.

 Look how funny Max was.

 A few days later Santa came by and dropped off they boys BIG and main present from him.

A swing set!!!!!

 Ben and my Grandpa put it up.

 Now the boys have a swing set to play on.

Wow unbealieveble

On Dec.14th, 2012 their was a school shooting in Newtown, Conceit.
 A guy  went to a elementary school came and just shot people. 28 got killed and 20 of those were little children. It is so sad that it happened especially right before Christmas. But it is amazing that the children were under the age of 8.  I can't believe that someone would do such a thing and target little kids. This kind of thing just makes you wake up and realize how life can be so short. Even makes you want to hold your little ones really tight and never let them go.  If you have big kids you don't want to let them go either. Even your spouse and parents you want them to know how much you love them.



I have forgotten the name of the person that did this and I am going to choose that. I don't need to remember every evil person in this world. But when someone says the name it might trigger my memory.

 Some people might say this is the reason that we need gun control. But not me... it gives me even more reason why we don't need it. Cause the good people would give up their guns and the bad won't. So the good would be armless and the bad will have power over practically everyone.  I just hope we are not going to repeat history with the unarmed. Like it has happen in other parts of the world.

May all the victims rest in peace and to the families you guys are in my prayers.

Max's 1st hair cut.

While we were out in Utah for Thanksgiving Max got his 1st hair cut.

 Of course he was crying at the beginning, it was a new and scarey adventure!

 But, with Daddy by his side, he calmed right down.  Everyone feels safer when their Daddy is by their side!

 and fortunately for Aunt Angela, he didn't cry the rest of the time.

 Look how handsome he is with his big boy hair cut.

 Thanks again Aunt Angela for giving Max his first haircut!  You sure did a great job.
