The Monster Mash

Okay, below is the Monster Mash starring Cristian as the mad scientist, Caleb as Frankenstein, Gabby as the bride of Frankenstein, Annika as the warewolf,and Maxine as Dracula. The kids sure had fun with this one! Gabby insisted that Frankenstein be a boy because she couldn't marry a girl, of course! Caleb and Annika are friends and Maxine is a cousin (most of you already know who Max is). Anyway, we hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it!

Family Pictures

Odio fotos familiares! Y tengo una razon muy buena! Nosotros sacamos fotos con toda me familia recien. Esto quiere decir que tuvimos 13 adultos y 8 ninos. Los ninos tienen entre 10 anos hasta 6 semanas de edad. Y adivina cual nino era el peor de todos? Si, era mi hijo Cristian!
I hate family pictures! And I have a very good reason. We had family pictures recently with my entire family. This means 13 adults and 8 children. The children ranged in age between 10 years old to 6 weeks old. And who was the worst of all the kids? you ask. Yes, that would be my Cristian!






Despues de sacar la foto del todo el grupo, empezamos a sacar fotos de cada familia individualmente. Y otra vez, Cristian no se porto bien.
And that is not all, after our group picture we moved on to our individual family pictures. Again, Cristian did not cooperate!






Tuvimos un descanso, pero intentamos de nuevo sacar una foto de la familia Bastidas. Y los resultados estan abajo.
We took a little break, but then we tried again to get a picture of the Bastidas family and this is what we got.





Y por fin, Cristian no daba mas!
And finally Cristian was done!




Al final, aqui hay unas fotos que nos sirven con Cristian.
In the end, here are some pictures that we can use with Cristian.

Opposite of Cristian, we have tons of great pictures of Gabby! She is gorgeous! These are some of her favorites!

Hula Dancing

So, my kids really like to dance. The other day, Gabby was dancing for me with costume changes and all and Cristian wanted to be included. So, Gabby took him to her room and helped him get into a costume to dance to the fish song from High School Musical 2.





My little Cristian is adorable! He calls this the "bathing suit dance."

Utah County Fair

Well, the kids and I spent some time at the Utah County Fair. The kids really enjoyed the petting zoo area. We met up with our friend, Anika, at the fair.

Gabby also danced at the fair with her dance group. They danced to "Livin the Vida Loca" from Shrek.






The kids also had fun playing in the tractors and other big construction equipment stuff.

Our trip to Arizona

We took a quick trip to Arizona this month. We went to see my brother and his wife and their new baby, Sadie. She is a beautiful baby and we really enjoyed Arizona. Our only regret was that we didn't have more time there.






We did go to a place called Meteor Crater. This is a place were a meteor hit the earth about 50,000 years ago. And yes...it is a really big hole in the ground! Erwin loved this. We drove about an hour or an hour and a half to get there and he loved it so much that we turned around and drove back the next day. We had arrived at the crater to late for the guided walking tour on the first visit and so we went back for the tour the next day.



Sedona was beautiful, but again, we did not get to see enough of it. On our way out of Sedona we stopped and took a couple of quick pics.


Finally, we went to Winslow, Az. What in the hell is in Winslow. That's right...nothing! Okay, well there is a street corner on Route 66 with a flatbed ford and a bronze statue of the Eagles dude who sang "Take it Easy" Look up the lyrics, I guess. But we did take easy on route 66 in Winslow, Arizona.
