opps! Forgot to wear my helmet :)

This all happend on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The top pictures were take on Sun or Monday and then the bottom pictures were just taken yesterday Nov. 29th.


Ok, here the pictures of Bella and her two black eyes. I guess it would be blacked-eyed Bella Bear. I hope it heals fast. We wanted to take some Christmas pictures.

I'm So Pretty!, Oh So Pretty!

Ok, here is Bella a couple of weeks ago when we were getting ready for church. We were all getting ready and she was quit (you know that is trouble when that happens) . I called out to her and she was in my bathroom putting make up for church. She got a hold of the lipstick and put it on. Later, dad was getting her dressed and dad said we had to take the make up . Oh NO! she was upset and said "I need it." Dad "Why do you need it?" Bella "Because". Needless to say she started crying I told her to wipe it off and then I would put some lip gloss and some blush. Then she was happy.

Trunk or Treat - Sunday Oct . 29th

Bella had a great time.
Our Trunk didn't not win the contest the one next to us did.
Although David said it is ON!! for next year:)

Tiny Tumbler

Bella at her Wed. evening tumbling class. She is loving it. She is doing much better. We hope this will help her legs to straighten out. She really enjoys it. Maybe she will be our little gymnist.

TaaDaa!

P.S. I will have to brag that she is the best behaved child in the class. (Proud Mom::)

MOHAWK for one DAY!

Ok, Yes, we let him get a mohawk and he went to school. WOW! we got a call from the principle that we need to get it cut because it caused to much of a comotion in the class and school. I guess many of the other students said if he can do it I am to. I thought it was funny LOL!! Well David didn't think it was since he is the one they called. I guess we were Bad REBEL parents. They didn't say anything about his other cut with the long hair in the front . Needless to say we got it all cut off and he will just have to do this in the summer for him.

I guess this will be his highlight for this year for him in 3rd grade.

TTFN:)

Food as Art:)

Ok, here is my beautiful art on the top and on the bottom is Bella's art of making enchiladas.
Last weekend we made enchiladas down my mom's house and Bella wanted to help. The ones she did were for her Papi she made sure no one ate them.

QUOTE

Ok, I thought this was a great quote about FAMILY:)

"If family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable- each segment distinct" - Letty Cotten Pogrebin

I think this sums up the description of a family.

L8R;)

We are Family

Here is a picture from our Labor Day at Mary's house with those family members still in Kansas just taking it easy and relaxing.

Ramirez Reunion

I think we are still trying to catch up on our sleep from our wonderful reunion and 90th B-day party for Grama and great-grama party. We all had such a good time, dancing, laughing, singing and taking pictures. Here are some picture of those in action.
