Holiday Joy!

Julian likes toys now!

Our Ward had a Mexican Themed Dinner,
so we of course brought face painting supplies
to draw mustaches on everyone...including Julian :)

My mom and Michael came for Thanksgiving! We decided to
hit two birds with one stone so we celebrated Christmas too :)
We made a hand print ornament for Julian's first Christmas!

Since the Holidays were upon us and I had no spare time, I will share with you our past two months in pictures! Some amazing things that are worth sharing: Julian rolled over!! Back to tummy and tummy to back :) Yay! And he is starting to sit up on his own :) I just can't believe how fast he is learning and growing. It is amazing to watch! He also cut his first two teeth. And he loves to grab my face and give me "kisses". They are more like a slobber attack but I love them all the same :)

We visited the John Deere Pavilion while they were in town
and Julian had his first experience on a tractor outside
of the womb ;)

Me and my mom Decorating our first Christmas Tree!

Here are the pictures of my mom's wedding I promised you guys. Michelle Lawson Photography did a beautiful job!

Can you guess the song that was playing?
..."I'm Sexy and I know It!"

My MeMe is almost 93 and she can still break it down!

Julian's First Encounter with Snow!

This website is being lame and won't let me  move my pictures in chronological order so I apologize for the randomness.

Diego, the horse, trying to eat Julian
during family pictures.

We got to spend 2 nights in Park City while we were in Utah!

Mario's parents watched Julian and we hit the slopes :)

It was so much fun!

The whole gang!

The day we were in Las Vegas we went to a buffet at the Aria,
 It was delicious! But Julian had a little too much;)

Being themselves in the gift shop ;)

For New Year's we drove down to Las Vegas to see Mario's
grandma, Choli, and extended family. Here are 4 generations!

Love is one thing that can not be taken away from us no
matter what life throws at us. Choli didn't know who little
Julian was but she sure loved him :)

We celebrated Christmas on the Eve and it was madness!
We managed to get a few shots of bug opening some of his
presents. He mostly liked chewing on the wrapping paper.
Typical baby, liking the container the present comes in more
than the actual present.

Mario got a saxophone from his parents for Christmas!
 He has been teaching himself, and has picked it up
really quickly!

Each grandchild got their own tree this year. Julian's was
full of cute stuffed animals! It was the peluchin tree :)

Julian's Blessing Day :)

So I apologize for not leaving a detailed report of our lives like usual but I figured I just needed to do the deed before I got too far behind. But if anyone is really curious about our travels you guys know where to find me :) I hope you're staying warm....well anything is warm compared to Iowa.
