More pictures . . . .

Here are some picutes from last Sunday at Adrian's little boy (Emiliano)'s birthday party. The kids sure had fun with

a pinata . . . . and of course with the tons of candy they received after it broke!!

Raquel and Jessie (Humberto & Elia's daughter) are posing here. They are 11 & 12 years old . .. but going on 20!! I never notice how grown up Raquel looks until I see it in a photo. It sure scares me!!

I swear this year . . . . .we are not spending money on toys . . . . . Mateo had more fun with this empty box today than any other toy he has ever had!!

Double Ouch!

Ouch!!

Who is bigger??

The day has finally came in Raquel's world . . . where she is now officially taller than her big sister! They are still able to share clothes - but it may not be for much longer! Raquel's growth seems to be taking off~

Who would believe there is six years difference between the girls!! Seems like yesterday DJ was begging for Raquel to grow up - so they could play!! In the blink of an eye - - - - it has happened!

Damion & Diego!

\

On Saturday Diego spent the afternoon with us! The boys had so much fun. They are becoming big boys too quickly! The girls thought it was funny because they found them playing barbies!! This picture may turn into blackmail material someday!

Baby Damion is growing fast . . . . and is cute as ever! These too little boys are certainly not lacking love!

2008 School Pictures

Here are the kids pictures! They are sure growing . . . . each year when we review the pictures from the years past it sure reminds me how the kids are growing up fast! We are eagerly awaiting DJ's senior pictures!! She had them done when we were in Florida this summer! We were fortnuate enough to schedule a photo session with a true professional - Rachel Absher.

Sorry about the crooked picture! I'm out of time~!

House updates . .. .

I have promised Jackie some pictures of my home improvement projects . . . . they are nothing too fancy!! I put most of the pictures up when on the phone with Jackie!! It's amazing what I can get done when on the phone! The first four are from in my bathroom and the last one is in the kitchen.

Time's flying . . . . .

Here are some fun outside pictures. Again - Raquel was playing photographer! We seem to have no time to ourselves lately! Jimmy is still off work. His next doctor appointment is October 17, and we should see an end in site! He is now attending physical therapy two times every week. He is able to walk and get into regular shoes now! He has came along way in the last two weeks. Raquel is almost done swimming, Saturday is the last meet and it is a conference meet. She was able to swim a few races on varsity, which is very exciting for a sixth grader! As busy as our time has been, we will be sad to see the swim season end. Mateo is loving being home everyday. He will have an adjustment having to go to Day Care again! Vanessa and Gavino are loving school. Gavino comes home muddy from head to toe from playing football at recess. I have taken on a new challenge of teaching Gavino's CCD class on Wednesday's after school.

Parents Night

Tuesday was parents night for Raquel's swim team. The season is coming to an end with only two more meets to go. Raquel has done an awesome job continually improving her speeds at each meet!
