I love to Blog but lately it has been hard to find the time, as you can tell my life is crazy busy!

Brock is keeping me on his tail all day long! We went to his Doctor's appointment last week....The Doctor was laughing at how funny and entertaining he was. He is growing every day and learning new tricks all the time. He apparently has no depth perception or fear....Just like his dad!! He has hopped on his dad's old skate board and starting working it back and forth. We love every minute of it!!! I hope to keep more updated but FaceBook is so much more fun!

Belen has also been growing up....She is now in gymnastics and is doing great in school! She is a Great Big Sister and Loves Brock so much...If I don't let him have something he runs to Belen to complain and receive comfort.

Hope you are all doing well!

It's been awhile....

It has been a while since I have blogged and so much has happened since the last time!

Brock Turned 1 in January...He has been such a fun baby to have!!! He does everything without hesitation and I mean everything. We never had to baby proof with Belen but Brock has the will to get into everything he can see. He wants to work it and figure it all out! He loves to open the oven door so I dropped some cash for a lock ....but every time I solve one problem I am back at the store buying an another lock for something else!!

We went to our nephews baby blessing right after Belen's 7Th birthday! Can u believe she is 7...we had a at home party which was a lot of fun! (Belen and her cousin Ethan)

Us up at Forest Falls in southern California

Our new nephew Baby Travis....He is a sweet and happy lil boy!!

The Barney's all together....Wow our family has grown in the last few years!

We also went to the Olympics in Canada and had a blast!!!! Once I get over this wicked cold I will post those pictures!!

Faux Christmas and Tahoe'09

We got the chance to go to Lake Tahoe before we split for Oregon....Originally my brother in- law and his family where to go with us but they all got sick with H1N1, so there loss was the Brown family's gain. We had a good time with them and Donny got the chance to go Snowboarding for the first time with Derek(expert snowboarder)....I can't wait to hit the slopes my self soon!!!

We had our 2ND annual Faux Christmas with Derek's family...it was a very nice time and Dinner was awesome! Belen was so excited to get footed pajamas from her aunt Kristi....I think that is her favorite gift this year!!! Gma Honey ( Derek's mom) made Belen and I cute matching aprons....we have already gotten the chance to use them.

(double click to enlarge photo) We got to spend Christmas this year in Oregon with my family, mostly due to the fact it was the first time Derek could take the week of Christmas off ( there is only one true holiday in international banking...New years day)!

So we started Christmas Eve at my uncle Brad and Auntie Elease's house....which is the best place to start. They always have the yummiest food and fun things to do. Brock enjoyed my cousin Joe and his wife Jinna...we wished we lived near them so they could babysit....ha,ha,ha!

Christmas Day: I got to see Santa Clause at 4 am at my Dad's....I woke up thinking my step moms cat's where tearing packages apart but it was Stanta Clause making coffee and setting up packages. In case u didn't know my dad's name is Stan...haha! The kids enjoyed the 7am wake call and loved spending time with us.

Later Christmas day: We headed to my brother Eric's condo in Gresham for a yummy dinner and more present opening. It was my brothers first Christmas with us, He has spent most of the last couple years overseas with the Army.

We had a fun time on our visit but glad to be back home safe!! On the car ride Brock was enjoying the squawking Christmas rubber chicken we got as a white elephant gift, Whatever keeps the kid busy is okay with me.
