Goodbye 2010

Look mom!

This Christmas we were able to celebrate with my brothers and mom. We had a typical Mexican spread with tamales, bean, rice and lots of salsa. Kennedy truly enjoyed opening gifts and even tried to open ones that weren't for her.

We also had a great time with the Boyette family we played lots of games, watched movies, ate alot and did some shopping. Kennedy had so much fun with the kids and already misses them.

Having fun watching us play Catch Phrase.

Game time!

You looking at me?

Happy New Year's to Everyone...see you in 2011!

'Tis the Season

This Sunday we went to our church's Christmas show which was spectacular, they even had aerial ballet! All those who were in the show except the aerial ballet folks are members of our church and we've got some super talented folks. The kids had lots of fun and for us it was fun to be a kids again.

We are thankful for a church that offers us so much. May we all remember this Christmas season that its Christ's birth we are celebrating and the awesomeness of that and not to be focused on the stress of buying gifts, etc.

May you all have a wonderful Christmas and we'll be thinking of you all as we celebrate.

Kennedy was super focused throughout the show...I thought for sure she'd would get wormy.

Oui. Joyeux Noel!

Kennedy was inquisitive for some time before finally eating her gingerbread man.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2010

We started the Thanksgiving holiday waking up early to support me at my second 5K race.

At the start of the race.

After the race we went to play a "friendly game" of flag football with some friends. Unfortunelty while Emilio was watching Kennedy on the sidelines I was hit by someone from the other team who did not see me and splat I was laid out flat. I ended up with a bloody and swollen lip and bruised knee.

Emilio snapped a photo before coming to my rescue!

Later that afternoon we made it out to my brother's house and ate till we could no longer eat. We had so much fun and the icing on the cake that night was Texas A&M beating the hell out of Texas!

Luis and Kennedy.

The next day Emilio and I flew out to Tegucigalpa for a friend's wedding. It was lots of fun and it was also my first time to visit Tegucigalpa and Valle de Angles.

We are so thankful for all that God has given us this year. We are thankful to be home and to have enjoyed a wonderful holiday with family and friends. We look forward to the Christmas season and ending this year with a bang.

PS. Here's a video of Kennedy in the car and also one of her at Costco playing the piano. I think she likes to dance....I'm just guessing....enjoy.

Trick or Treat

We all woke up quite early Saturday morning as I was racing my first compeititve 5K and my two cheerleaders were coming to support me. I was quite nervous the day of the race and had butterflies in my stomach but thankfully all went well and I finished the race in 27 minutes. I plan on doing my next race on Thanksgiving day - hopefully to better time.

After the race we all took a nap and once we all woke up it was time to get some organizing done in the house. As you can see in one of the pictures Miss Kennedy was having too much fun playing in a cardboard box. She wasn't having as much fun in that box on Sunday as she lost her footing and slipped and hit the edge of the box. You can see her battle wounds in the Halloween pics.

On Halloween we went over to the Wyss' and enjoyed the best burgers in town. Kennedy helped pass candy to the few trick or treaters we had. All in all it was a great weekend.

She spent hours in this box.

Here I am with Kennedy and my (super awesome) trainer

Having a blast I tell you!

She loves her Cheerios and dried blueberries.

Having fun with the Wyss'.

Horse-playing with daddy.

She liked Geo's corn on the cob A LOT!

The silly Castillo's

Pumpkin Patch

How sweet!

What a tender moment, she loves her grandma!

The two little ones.

And she's off...we had just a tiny window to capture pics with the pumpkins before she started running off.

Our backyard!

We moved a few weeks ago and what's really nice is that although we are still inside the city we now have a backyard and Kennedy loves going in and out all day long. I think she's enjoying the house the most exploring each area and making a mess all the while.
