Ok I added a new song on the playlist. Let me tell you why. I went to the dollar store one day to get cello bags and noticed some christmas cd's for 2.50. They had the greats on them like Bing Crosby, mormon tabernacle choir, Nat King Cole, and Louis Armstrong to name a couple! So I bought a couple and turned them on as soon as I got home. The first song was the one you should be hearing right now.
Way later that night at bedtime Talon was crying and frustrated and he just kept asking for "his santa claus" Billy and I could not figure out what he wanted and finally he fell asleep.
The next morning Talon and I went and got in the car to run some errands and I brought the christmas cd with me to play in the car. It turned on and Talon started yelling! "My santa claus my santa claus!" That is what he had wanted the night before! He loves this song by Louis Armstrong isn't that funny! He still requests it all the time!

Hello Again!

Ok we didn't fall off the face of the earth. I know it has been too long since I updated, I guess I have some explaining to do.
You see I don't really update very often as it is and this fall when school started I slacked big time! And then in October on my way home from getting some great pictures in all the leaves at the church with the kids my camera fell out of my jogger without me realizing. Later that evening I ran an errand and as I was pulling back into the driveway I saw what looked like a smashed camera in the road...it kinda looked like my camera, only smashed. It was my camera!

So I have no Thanksgiving pics, no christmas pics, but I will finally blog these from this fall, is that ok?? I'm pretty sure I will have a new camera soon. I doubt billy can wait much longer to get a new scope for his new gun and when he does....

September!

Way back in september we had Davis and Talons birhtdays! Here is some pics from talons barnyard party!

Etsy is such an animal!! very attractive!

Talon with his grandpa and granny great!

Cute cake huh!

Davis had a Halo 3 party! If you don't play halo you won't appreciate this cake. I think I did a good job.

We also took a couple of his friends with us to Cortez for a day! Everyone took a turn wearing the sombrero!

We played some raquetball at the rec center...

And did some swimming! It was a fun family day!

Halloween

Ok I know I should have some christmas ones up but like I said I'm just catching up. We had tons of fun carving pumpkins together and everyones turned out unique and wonderful.

eeeewwwww!

Talon loved the pumpkins until the lights went out and he saw them all lit! Then he was scared.

We calmed him and told him not to worry that we just wanted a picture of them and to this day when he sees a pumpkin he says "take a picture!"

What a pretty smile!!

WoW these girls know how to have fun!

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she beautiful? Isn't she special?(ed)
Mercedeez melts when she gets wet!! ha ha
You guessed it! My kitchen didn't get clean that day!!

Talon is so much fun!

I can't believe how much Talon loves baseball already! It is definately in his blood. He was being so cute this night! we couldn't get him to take the hat off!
Here he is sad. Isn't he so cute even when he is mad?? I love my baby boy!

Cute Hair!!

Getting a haircut had some wierd effect on alexus I'm a little worried about her what do you think?
Ok so here she is her cute self again with her friend nani!! cute friends
Davis is just so cool don't you think? He has a hard time knowing how to smile for pictures and this is what we ended up with. What a stud eh? He is so happy that we are getting his hair to spike!!
Here is mercedeez hair styled by benesa!! I love the barrett I'm going to have to buy some!

More cute hair!!

So that I don't keep Debbie in suspense any longer I will hurry and post these couple of pics I have taken of my girls! Here is mercedeez after I styled it for her. She absolutely loves this cut!! If she is happy I am happy!
Maybe this wasn't a very clear picture? We styled Alexus hair and we absolutely loved it way pretty on her! Anyway more pics to come! Davis has a spike and we bleached his tips he is awesome! Check back soon for pictures of him and more of the girls.

Petting the stingrays

This was the coolest part of our trip! There is a small Aquarium (I think it was in west jordan) my kids loved it! Especially petting the stingrays. Even I liked that!

We made sure we found time to walk around Temple Square with the kids. We enjoyed that alot! By the way I think this is the only picture I'm in cause some one offered to take it for us! How funny huh!
So here goes alot of pictures from our trip! You may have to turn the page to see them all! We really had a nice time visiting all the family and everyone took good care of us! Some days we ate 3 lunches and 2 dinners but it was all delicious and worth eating! I never got any pictures of Billy playing ball - they all turned out blurry but he did very well!

Our Family Vacation

We had alot of fun even in the car on the way to winnemucca! Nice bubble davis!!
Mercedeez and billy were being goof balls in round table pizza in Elko. My silly kids are definately Mendoza's!!
Isn't he cool?! I'm pretty sure that billy is the funniest person I know!
We stopped in Green River at Ray's Tavern to eat a burger that was said to be one of the four best burgers in the western US. It was pretty good and pretty interesting too!
I got a kick out of it when the waiter brought us our condiments in a 4-pack carrier!!!

This is jovi! Billy was super good friends with her cousin Josh who lived with them during HighSchool! We were so happy to see her!
Here is hector with his cute boys! The older one is Hector the youner Ricky! We also met Maria but the picture with her in it looked dark when I uploaded it. What a bummer. They are a cute family though!
Here are the lopez's! Some of you will remember juan? These are his parents! So nice!
here is carlos! Billy dated his older sister for a while. Carlos was like 4 when billy knew him! He is really good friends with Yudi so we got to see him lots! He is a super good kid!

Making Friends
