Jesus and Ashley

We really enjoy having a baby in the home. When we are done with her we can give her back to her mommy!!! HeHe

Jesus and Ashley enjoy each others company! He is always picking her up and tickling her and making her laugh!

Ashley makes the funniest faces!
She loves putting her fingers in her mouth, but has not discovered other peoples mouths, thank goodness!!!

My artist!

Carmen is my little artist. She loves to doodle. Most of her pictures are of people. Here she is showing off the picture that she drew, compared to the one in the book!

first snow!

Isn't it beautiful! October 10th was our first snowfall! It was a heavy snow, and just hung on the trees! It didn't last long and was melted by the next day! My brother in laws car.
Our little Colorado Blue Spruce, weighted in snow!

Roly's deer!!!

October 2 -4th was a special hunt in a few areas of Nebraska. It was for antlerless deer. We discovered the week before the hunt that Rojelio was eligible to hunt (we had previously thought that he had to be 12, but found out it was 10!) So a few days before the hunt, his dad asked if he wanted to go. The weather was nice for them. They went out early in the afternoon and right before coming home the deer made their entrance.

Roly shot first and then Genaro right after him. One of the deer feel into a creek and Genaro had to go in after it. He pulled a muscle in his back while doing it but didn't realize until they started driving home. Needless to say, Papa was hurting when he got home, but that did not stop them from going out the next day with a family friend. Neither Rojelio nor Genaro got another deer but the friend did. They were excited for him because this was his first deer too!! Roly's only complaint was that he was hungry!

Sunday drive

We just had to get out of the house Sunday. All weekend we have had a house full of sickos! There is this tower just off of I680 going toward Iowa. We have never been there so we thought that is where we would go. It was not a hard climb at all, and when you got to the top you could see for miles. It was rather pretty. We didn't stay to long just long enough to get all the jitters out and then headed back home!

Happy '10" Birthday Carmen

Carmen turned 10 on Aug. 25! We bbq'd and she had a few friends over to spend the night. Carmen found a butterfly cake pan at a garage sale earlier this year and so we made that for her. I decorated one of the butterflies and she and her friends decorated the other! They had a great time! Happy Birthday my little artist!

Offutt Air Show

Last weekend we headed down to Bellvue and watched the annual air show at Offutt Air force Base. This year we decided not to go on base, so Genaro found a good hill and we parked! Parked in the middle of a field of weeds mind you, but it was sure a good spot. Needless to say I stayed in the suburban until the kids had smashed all the weeds down! I have to admit we were in the perfect spot the planes always went right over our heads!! It made it hard to get a picture when they were directly overhead because we had to keep moving in for the distance shots and didn't have time to move the lens back out to get the closer ones. The kids took some great pictures. My favorite plane was the Stealth Bomber! I also liked the F-18's and how they went by you without any sound and then you heard the sound. Totally cool! Can't wait for next year!

friend speak

I really thought that my husband was joking when he relayed this to a friend of ours, until my friend was at the house and they were talking about it and I asked her if it was true! It was!!!

setting-Mexico

officer to friend "why are you going so fast?"

friend to officer " Because I wanted to pass him! "

did she get a ticket??? NO

Now that sure would not happen here in the US! She was going over 70... hmm hubby thinks it was around 80m but knowing her we might want to up that by 10!!!!

friends speak

member of the spanish branch to friend "will you be going to church tomorrow?"

friend "no, I got all the information last year!"

Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini.........

We have so much of it. Everyone is getting tired of eating it. That doesn't take long because not everyone in the family likes it. After reading some posts on facebook and the mention of brownies I decided to try some recipes. Zucchini brownies! NOT! The kids did not like them, and neither did I. So that will not become a fav for us. Next on the list is chocolate zucchini cake. We shall see how that turns out. Let's hope better, or Vicky will have an abundance of snacks to eat! Seeing as how she was the only one that liked it!

Fremont Lakes

We have lived in Omaha for about 14 and 1/2 years or so and have never been out to Fremont Lakes. So on Sunday Genaro wanted to check out some trucks out there. We decided that we would make it a family outing. I thought it was too cold to go swimming so we did not bring anything for that but brought along the fishing poles and some snacks. We called a friend of ours that lives out there and stopped by to see them. They said they had just been at the lake and it was great. They loaned us some swim suits (had something for everyone!!) and we all took off. The kids had a great time. They loved playing in the water and on the beach.





Alex made a new friend with some dog and enjoyed throwing the Frisbee out to him!


Alexis and Gabby and Roly built a sand man, with the help of the other kids!



We came back a little burnt and tired but happy!

Sleep Over

Over the years we have had many people move in and out of the house across the street. A few times there have been other kids but not to many. Well last year a family moved in that had two children. One Carmen's age and the other Jesus' age. Over the summer they have become good friends and have enjoyed hanging out together. The kids all have similar interests and enjoy playing with everyone not just Carmen and Jesus. Alex loves playing football with the boy!!! He has occasionally gone on walks when he walks the dog and Alex just thinks that is the bomb!! The other night the kids spent the night at our house and all night long there was giggling. No not from the girls but from the boys!! It was hilarious! You expected that from the girls but not from the boys! It was such a nice change from people wanting to go home because we didn't play video/computer games all night or because they could not handle the smaller children or wanting to play things that I felt were inappropriate. Besides not sleeping till the wee hours the kids had a good time.

Happy Birthday Alex and Jesus!!!

Well Aug. 7th brought on the double birthday day! Jesus turned 12 and Alex 7. We ended up having two different parties. Jesus' was thrown together because he neglected to tell me about the friend he had invited and so we threw together a cake and a BBQ. His friend was going to spend the night but decided that our house was to boring for him and asked to go home! LOL Sorry dude. Two days later we had another BBQ and Alex had some friends over. This went much better because it was planned and Jesus' other friend that could not come over when Jesus celebrated his birthday also made it, along with a friend from high school and her family. It was really nice. The food was good and the company great! The boys wanted money for their birthdays so that made gifts easy and they enjoyed spending it! My friend Jen bought them socks and yes I know some people feel that should not be a gift, but my boys were thrilled!!!!Here's to another year boys!!! FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!!!!
