Sleepy baby boy {~_~}

Wanted to share these cute pictures of slumber. He is too darn cute!

Rainbow

Woke up to find a beautiful rainbow covering a wall in my room. It was coming from the sun shinning onto a cd in the perfect spot. It shinned on this family picture of the other Vegas Sanoja family. I thought it looked very special! It made me smile :-))

"The Ducks From The Block "

Once apon a time there were two little ducks....

One named Betty and one named Chuck.......

What a day they will have playing with friends......

What a day they will have, these ducks are in luck........

They will sit and relax, in the field of flowers......

And then they will leave after an hour........

Lets go Betty, lets go Chuck! What else can we do as little ducks........

These kids are so nice, but the day's getting hotter.......

Where oh where can we find some water?...........

Listen Chuck! across the way!......

Here is some water for us to play!........

A nice little drink will hit the spot.......

I hope this shower will clean me a lot!.....

Lets stand in the water, it feels like the rain.....

Where did it go? Did it go away?.......

So these ducks found a spot to sit and to think.....

What a nice day of food, baths and drinks.........

Together forever, these ducks from the block stay.....

Happily ever after, come again soon some day!

Tony's 8th Birthday weekend

Wow! There is a lot to say in this one! Tony had quite the birthday this year. Tony started his day off with getting an award at school as Student of the Month!!! Yay Tony, we are sooooo proud of you. He is a lucky dog too cause his name also got picked out of a bag to eat pizza with the principle. How cool is that, second time this year!

Then just the 5 of us had some yummy banana splits to celebrate on his actual birthday. You will see in the pictures, Andrews idea of birthday candles. I love that man ;-)

Then on Saturday, we took him and a few of his friends to Lazerstar to have a little celebration. Its not cheap so we told him that he could have another sleep over with more friends in a couple weeks. They had so much fun!!!

Now the most special part of his birthday this year was his Baptism. Tony Turned 8 and recieved the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Aunt Shelsi sang "Teach me to walk in the light of his love" while Grandpa Ric played the guitar. It was amazing! Uncle Jamin and Grandma Esther gave absolutly BEAUTIFUL talks and all of our family and friends were there to make this day soooooo special for us. Thank you all!!!

Go Tony!!! Jog-a-thon!!!

Tony was running laps around his principle this year for his annual jog-a-thon! Last year he ran 14 (elementary size) laps and raised $180. This year, he ran 21 LAPS and raised $225!!! His school has raised close to $20,000 this year alone with the jog-a-thon. Great job Tony! We are still waiting on some of his neat prizes and to see if he placed #1 in his class, it was a close call......

Spring Love, Fun & Beauty

These are some of the cute tiny little birds that come out during the spring and take over a big tree we have in the back yard. Such beautiful colors! Another picture is of a friend of AJ's. They seemed very cozy on the couch together so I had to take a picture of them ;-). And a few more spring fun pics of flowers, Jordan and daddy!
