How Time Flys (Or is it Flies???)

Well, so I didn't do so hot on the updates. Well here they are.

Christmas was good to us. I was especially excited this year 'cause I was able to get my husband and kids something that I have wanted for them for a long time. FATHEADS!!!! Miguel and Antonio both got Albert Pujols, two different ones, Diego (son) got a St. Louis Rams Helmet, and Diego (husband) got the St. Louis Cardinal logo. (See pictures below). They are pretty cool. I was really excited to see them. You know how commercials make everything look so much better than they really are?????? Well, these weren't on those commercials. They are BIG!!! However, the helmet didn't stick very well so I sent it back and ordered another Cards logo for Diego's room. Albert was good, except he came in two pieces and I had to match his bottom half to his top. If you didn't know I don't think you would be able to tell. They also came with some smaller stickers as well which was a very pleasant surprise.

Santa was also good to us. The boys got what they asked for and then some! Christmas is hard with older kids. You can't just get them some Hot Wheels cars and call it good. They got Nerf guns (I am pretty sure the entire neighborhood could come to my house and ALL borrow a nerf gun and I would still have more!), watches, wallets, bats, movies, and the only thing that Diego (son) asked for was texting for his phone. Of course, he got more, but that was his big thing. Diego got me the new iPod touch along with some iTunes gift cards and a transmitter thing to put in the car so we can listen to our ipods through the radio station. I got him a new leaf blower (for the snow:)), a tool set, and the fathead. All in all it was a great Christmas.

New years was spent with some friends playing games and watching movies.

Well, more to come, but that will have to do for now.
