Happy Halloween!!

I got AJ all dressed up in his little bear outfit to take him trick-or-treating at grandma and grandpa's house (aka: ring the doorbell and just sit on the doorstep looking cute since he can't eat candy with no teeth). I was taking a ton of pictures of him in his costume and as you can see, he finally lost his patience with me. Sorry AJ!!

Sweet boy, looking happy for mommy.....


Not quite sure why this thing keeps flashing in his face...


Beginning to look a little irritated....


Letting me know that the photo shoot is over!

First Date

AJ went on his first date with his future wife **fingers crossed** Nevaeh. I think the date went pretty well... even though they both slept during most of it.

proud mommies!

Going to the pumpkin patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch at Lattin's Cider Mill in Olympia with our good friends the Rodriguezs' (yes, it's plural since they are two seperate families with the same last name). I have to admit, I didn't take many pictures because it was cold and wet and stinky from the farm animals.....sorry, I suck.

Our happy little family...

Carlos & Nevaeh with Antonio & AJ...

AJ Meets Some Great-Great Family

Today AJ got to meet his Great-Great Grandma Tahran and Great-Great Aunt LaVone (yes, 2 Greats).

AJ is one month old

I cannot believe AJ is already one month old! We had his pictures taken at Sears and they did a beautiful job. I'm asking everyone to please excuse his mullett - 4 days before these pictures were taken, AJ had the most beautiful full head of hair. I was giving him a bath and went to wash his head and ALL OF THE HAIR ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD SLID OFF with the wash cloth!!! I started screaming and my mom came into the room and when she saw his head, she asked how hard I was scrubbing. FYI to child protective services, I used a baby wash cloth and just wiped his head very softly.

This is my favorite picture. So innocent and beautiful.

The two Antonios. AJ and Mommy.
AJ looks like such a little man already!
What perfect little feet!

First Smile

AJ smiled today....for daddy of course. AJ and I were in the bathroom watching Antonio get ready for work and daddy started to sing to AJ and he just lit up. It was so amazing! I'm finding that when you are a parent, the littlest things are the most memorable.
