Happy 5th Birthday Alex!

Brothers

Santi HERMOSO!

This boy is so adorable. Here is his smiley happy Mickey Mouse adoring face!

party

Today we went to a classmates of Alex's b-day party. There was a show with Mickey Mouse and Santi got SO excited. He was smiling so wide. I wish it showed up better on the video. He had this excited, ecstatic smile on his face for about 10 minutes! He sighed and almost cried he was so happy to see Mickey Mouse. It was the CUTEST thing.

Big Boy Pants

"Yeah I really did it, and now I know I can. I can go in my potty and I will do it again. No more diapers now, I'm as happy as can be. I get to wear big boy pants. I'm so proud of ME!"

what we've been up to lately...

Enjoying a visit from cousin Ely and tia Elizabeth, playing, bouncing, swimming, posing in front of cactuses, riding pretend cars and reading.

Santi

The other day I was rocking him before bedtime and I asked him if he wanted to pray. Here is his prayer: "Jesus, You love me so much. I love you too. I want to go downstairs and eat and play...and eat. I go to sleep now, I'm tired."

Before another month goes by...

Happy New Year from the Go-Ro's

Feliz Navidad

Santi's block tower

Patita de Perro concert

This week we got to go to a concert at the new performing arts complex at the college. We saw Patita de Perro. They're a rock group that sings songs for kids. It was really fun. They let the kids run all over the place during the concert.

Crazy Week

These are pictures from crazy week at Alex's school. It was the week of Halloween and since they really don't celebrate the holiday here but wanted to let the kids have some fun dressing up, they did a whole week of things. They had camoflage day, which Santi really wanted to take part in...they had favorite soccer team jersey day and crazy hat and glasses day as well. The kids had so much fun and of course Santi keeps begging me to let him go to school with Alex. I may let him start going a few days a week starting in the spring but I have to get him potty trained first which he is not too interested in yet!
