COLD Halloween.

When your Halloween Day starts looking like this...

Our back yard Willow. And it is not the weeping one.
The indoor dress options are countless.

We are elves!
And a princess...always a princess.
A cowboy.
And Anna's Halloween favorite, a Witch.
And the cowboy finds out that all the candy "he bought at the mall", like he says, cannot be eaten in one night. I'd like to name this picture "The Weeping Cowboy".

California

Sweet California traffic!
Happy cows come from California...
Korean food is boring...
Wind power.
"I never knew Paris really existed!"-Anna going through Las Vegas.
BBQ Time! Two beers and a sippy cup.

Modern way of communicating. Ana and Yun wasted no time practicing it.
At the office!
"I have never see a squirrel this close!" Anna.
"Did you see that, Anna!" Anthony.

A close up of the squirrel.

Anthony and Rose...

Say Cheese!

Baby Alex and Mama Lolys

Lolys, Yeni, Ana Lidia. Te extranamos Chacha!
Grandma again, for the 5th time.
The little cousins holding the 2 week old baby Alex.
Are you my Grandma?
Ok, I will be in the front. We need a focal point.

Kids!

Anna's first day of school...

Anthony was very excited! Following his sister all around the house.

"And this is where the monster bit me"

Celebrating our new friend Jada's second birthday!

Hoping on pop!

Finally a master bathroom...small, but stylish!

Our master bathroom ...quite small...but at least we don't have to shower in a bath tub full of toys! Molding all over, new everything.

Shower, all the way to the ceiling. It used to be a closet type shower built in the 1970's. We opened it up! The floor is made of quartz; the walls are subway tile; and the floor is natural marble. We love it!

We finally finished the mantle (there is a second fireplace in the basement). It used to be a huge wall of stone. We covered half of it, built a mantle, and there it is!

We got most of the materials from a yard sale....final cost about $35.

Time to Update...

Mami is 30 now! I will not be "The Baby" anymore! I hope...

Anna is one-tooth-less...

Anthony hoping he is loosing teeth as well.

The Uinta Mountains

It was Daddy's birthday as well...I guess we can't help getting old.

A Princess Party

Su majestad princesa Anna.

"The real princess" asking Anna what she wanted to be when she grew up. Anna's answer was: "A princess! just like you!".

I don't trust all these pink girls Mommy, can we go home?

Princesses getting wild! Thank goodness it was not me holding the pinata!

Gone wild! Hey, what's Batman doing there?!

Oregon

Clearwater waterfalls.

A very very small town. With really kind people.

Somewhere in Nevada...Next services 72 miles.

Cascades and waterfalls all over Oregon.

Once in Hood River it was all about playing...and sleeping after a few hours of that.

The little Elves.

Your sister has a funny face!

"I can't believe a bird did all these holes!"-Anna.

Clearwater is an amazingly relaxing place. Even the kids were quiet!
