So blessed I am........................

Last night as I was going to sleep and this morning as I awoke I was thinking how blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband and I wanted to share. Eddie has come so far in this last year and a half and is an amazing father and husband. How lucky I am to have a husband that takes care of his family and makes it a point that we find the Lord. So blessed I am to have a husband that each night and day cares for our children, cooks our meals, cleans the house and especially goes above and beyond with caring for Diego. So blessed I am to have a husband that gives me constant support both mentally and physically who makes my meals and counts my points who guides me the right way! So patient Eddie is with me and my complaining especially when we are walking 6 miles and it's hot and he continues to make sure we all enjoy our time together. So lucky I am to have a husband that I can trust with our children. So lucky I am Eddie to have you the sober you, the loving you. I always knew you were my soul mate that somebody special that best freind! I love you babe and I thank you for being YOU the patient YOU! I love you for all you do for our family not because you have to but because that's just YOU!

8 Months Old

The other morning Lil Ed came running in to show me how his Bro was sleeping so we took a picture!
This is one of Diego's favorite things to do read books- he even flips thru the pages. Thanks to Big Bro he gets to listen to lots of stories.
The other morning Big Ed woke me up very early to show me the deer right out our door. By the time we got the camera it was off but we got the tail end :)

Dad thinks it is so cute to feed Diego especially yummy cookies but of course it's the day after I mop the ENTIRE house :P

Lil Ed's 3rd grade show

Lil Ed's 3rd grade class had an awesome performance the last week of school. Lil Ed even had a speaking part and did great. Grams and Gramps were able to attend and Diego loved hearing all the kids sing.
Eddie looks very serious in this picture because the whole class did a song in sigh language it was absolutely amazing.

We are so proud of Ed and his accomplishments. His report card was great and his reading has come so far he earned a 3+.

Now onto the 4th grade!

Tide Pool Field Trip

Me and Big Ed had the privilege to chaperon a group from Ed's class to the Tide Pools. The kids had learned about the living life and different tides so we were out and searching for all the creatures and had a blast!
Big Ed being the crazy one got pretty close to the ocean sea.
We got to visit the Marine Institue in Avila Beach and got to touch different animals up close. Here Lil Ed is touching the "Spider Crab".
Ahh how cute....................

Wasco visit

The other weekend we visited Eddie's family in hot old Wasco but cooled off in the pool!
Lil Ed is a great swimmer and enjoyed jumping off the diving board and doing cannon balls for hours.

Misc. shots............

Every afternoon Big Ed enjoys taking snap shots of Diego. It is so funny to see the expressions he has when he is out and about.
I SEE YOU DADDY!

I had to take a picture of Diego knocked out after a long day!

CHEESE

More shots...........

Yum that was good- give me more!
Our dear freind Leah from work has blessed us with so many toys. This chair is one of them and he absolutly loves it. It sings songs that we all get to listen to whether we like it or not. He jumps, bounces and laughs and his new thing is to get on his knees and it flips over and he laughs.
What a big boy!
When Big Ed took this picture we both agreed that Diego looks just like Lil Ed.

Having fun and then..................................

Here is another toy that Leah has given us and Diego loves his snail. Below you will see the slow motion fall that he seems to have more often then not. Again, this was daddy snapping away when mommy was gone-thank goodness!
This is fun............
still fun...................
hmm I think I'm falling................
boom not so fun :(

He was fine!
