Is it Christmas Yet?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We hope you all had a wonderful day with family and full bellies. We ate wonderful food and enjoyed spending time together. Miguel and I have been decorating the house for Christmas and now that we are finished we LOVE IT!!

This is our first Christmas at this house so it took a while to figure out exactly where everything fits best. After a lot of work we finally have it all in place. Susanna has been super whiny ... I think she realized how busy both Miguel and I were in trying to get the decorations set so she decided it was the PERFECT time to be EXTRA difficult. She is either teething again or on the verge of getting sick. Whatever it is we honestly cant take much more, ahhhhh!

Due to the baby attitude problem we have no pictures of Susanna to post (So Sorry), but we do have a couple pics of Sissy the Schnauzer. Miguel gave her a bath today and she wanted to be just like her sister and get a bubble bath. So Miguel gave her a bubble Mohawk and she loved it too. Isn't she adorable?!?!

Baby Flower

CONGRATULATIONS to my dad and LaDonna on their wedding last weekend. We are so very happy for you and love that our family has now grown! Both the wedding and reception were beautiful and everyone had a wonderful day.


In our opinion the VERY best part of the wedding was Susanna being the baby flower girl. She did a WONDERFUL job and mommy and daddy were soo proud.




We were able to capture Susanna's little giggle on video... it is sooo precious to hear! We will keep trying to capture more memories. Do you hear that SQUEAL?!?! I LOVE IT :)


About once a week we fill up our large whirl tub and either Miguel or I jump in the bath with Susanna. We like to call it "Family Bath" time. We are so lucky that our doodle loves the water as much as we do.

We really have a lot of fun in our big tub! Susanna loves being able to share bath time with us :) If she gets many more bath toys we are going to run out of room :)


It is amazing how fast time flies...take a look at how much our monkey has grown. The first picture was taken back in May and the second just a week ago. And she still loves gazing at her daddy :)

Super Chunk

I went to wake up Susanna from a nap this afternoon and this is what I found... her chubby legs STUCK between the crib slats. They were stuck sooo tight that later she got a little bruise.


I was sneaking up on her to take the pictures when she caught me!!



Good thing she was SOO HAPPY to see Mommy :)

Fair, Halloween, and More...

I am a little behind on my posts so hopefully this one will catch you up on all the fun we have been having. First, for those of you that don't know, Miguel and I LOVE the NC State Fair and countdown the days every year until it comes around again. We love to walk around, eat TONS of food, and check out all the farm animals. This year we were very excited to bring Susanna to our favorite fall fair. She did great in the crowds and rode in her stroller most of the time.



She loved watching the momma and baby pigs and got very excited looking at the goats. I think they might of reminded her of our Sissy Sas!! Daddy loved showing off his favorite cows to his girl...she loved them too :)

She even had a special "WHAT DOES THE COW SAY" shirt to wear to the fair. What a cutie pie



This was Susanna's first Halloween and she had TWO COSTUMES!! Daddy picked out both of them and she was soo adorable. Her first costume was a spider... and she was the best little spider!!

Her second costume also doubles for Thanksgiving... she was a TURKEY!! The Turkey is my FAVORITE and just soo darn cute.





Susanna, Miguel, and I all went to vote for the Presidential Election. Her first election... and she even got her own I JUST VOTED sticker!
