February Pictures
This is G with her Valentine's box from pre-school. She was so proud of it because she made it herself!
My amazing dad at his birthday dinner celebration! He's only as old as the candles say...
UDOT is trying to build a highway really close to our house and it would split up our neighborhood and take out like 10 houses in our ward. So a bunch of neighbors got together to protest this proposed highway. C made signs to take and the kids were just so excited to participate in their first protest! The TV stations were there and we were in the news! Let's hope it worked! We just have to wait a few years to know the final verdict.

Just a random cute picture of G and her cousin in matching PJ's.

Kid's Fair & Chuck E. Cheese's
My sister and I love to go to fun free places together so the kids can play and we can bond. It doesn't happen too often but when we do get together we all have a blast! We went to the kids fair and at this table they were teaching the kids Spanish words while they played with play-doh. The teacher was so amazed that the kids could say the words! I wonder why they knew the words already??
Then we went to Chuck E. Cheese's for some pizza and fun! I had bought some gift certificates a while ago and so it seemed as if it was free! The kids had a blast!
Plain Parmesan cheese is always healthy right? I'm such a good mom!

CR Gymnastic Meets
This year started out with something we had never experienced before. Gymnastics Meets. CR has been taking gymnastics for over a year now and was asked to be on their team. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into. There are meets all over the state and they last about 4 hours each. Here are some pictures from the meets in January.

The team marching in.
The team getting ready
The Rings
The High Bar
The Parallel Bars
The Pommel Horse
The Floor Exercise
The podium
He got a few medals along the way. Didn't always make it to the podium but he did amazing for his first year competing!

The medals
Because the meets are so long some of the gyms have a place where the siblings can go and play while the boys are competing. G loved it!
With every meet CR got better in the events and we got better at knowing what to do as parents.
We are glad CR found a sport that he enjoys.

Not this year
CR made it to the school Spelling Bee but got out on the first word. He was very upset to say the least! It's a hard lesson to learn that we can't win them all but it is one that we all must learn at some point. He is still an amazing speller!

End of 2010
This is what we did the last week of 2010.
Because we told everyone that each family had to present a talent and we never got around to doing it on Christmas...we did it on Sunday. Because I am now writing this in March I have forgotten the details so I'm sorry. This is the reason why we should write things down soon after they happen because we forget very easily and quickly.
Julio and his kids sang a song funny Christmas song.
Z and her kids sang a silly Christmas song also.
K & S performed a duet on the piano.
KC & I sang "Mary and Joseph".
Derick and Alex performed a piano duet.
Mami R. told us a favorite memory of Christmas.
Papi O. told us Christmas memories as a child.
Then Z. had a "special bonding activity" for us. We all sat in a circle and one person sat in the middle and we went around and said something we liked or admired about the person. Well here is C in the middle. It was very emotional for all of us.
Because the activity went a little long and G was getting bored. She used my camera and took a billion pictures of herself and others. Here is one of herself.
Here's another picture taken by G.
On Monday we went to take pictures but because it was so cold we took the pictures inside the capitol building. This one was taken by K and KC & I. Isn't it so cute?
We took grandparents with grandkids pictures and many more that D has not given to us yet :(
On Tuesday Julio had to go home so we took him to the airport and then drove up to Park City to the Lodge. I had these three boys with me and because we were up there a little sooner than everyone else we stopped by the Olympic Park. Of course I'm obsessed by the Olympics and I loved going here. I think the boys did too!
This is the cousins hanging out at the Lodge. We all spent the night there on Tuesday and we had a blast although the sleeping part was not that great. The next day there was a huge snow storm and it took us a while to get home because we had to drive really slow and careful.
This is the Birthday Girl G. We celebrated her birthday in Park City. This will be a separate post later.
This is New Years Eve. We are standing in front of the TV waiting for the ball to drop in NYC.
Our New Year's celebration included a chocolate fountain!!
The party crew! Ellie, G, and Derick.
Happy New Year 2011
