My sick KIDS!!!! Not 1 but ALL 4!!!

Let me start with Baby Luke. The only one on antibiotics. Yes, his first ear infection. (And if you know my kids there are many more to come.) If you haven't seen him in a cranky mood now you will.


JJ he may not look sick in this picture but the way we have been going through Kleenex shows there is something going on. At least he is always in a good mood even when sick.




Natasha she is the healthier one out of the bunch for the first time. But she has been complaining about her mouth hurting. Which today was dentist day but it got cancelled. And as for her when she isn't feeling good, she whines A LOT ( wait she does that anyway, right Auntie April!)





Now for the oldest. Selena hasn't been feeling well the last few days. Headaches, sore throat stuffed up nose that is pretty much it. But one good thing is school has been closed anyways so she don't have to worry about that, she loves school and hates to miss. When she is sick she lets you know because it isn't to often. She is very sensitive and cries if you say something wrong to her.

So lets just say the last couple days have been real fun. A least we were with my mom yesterday and she is sooo much help. Thanks mom/grandma

Time for Christmas!!!

We just had so much fun this weekend. Decorating the tree, watching Christmas movies, being builders, and going to birthday parties, and spending time at gandpa and grandma's.

"The first snowman of the year" the kids work so hard on him. By the time they were done their hands were frozen. (Picture is through window it was cold out there lol.)

Movie time with All The Sandoval kids. Friday night after dinner with the Sandoval's the kids watched Christmas movies. Nice and Quietly.

The tree is done and ready for Santa!!

Some of you that reads this knows, I am ALWAYS writing about JJ's wrestling but we were bad and didn't go this saturday, but next week will come fast. The other wrestlers of the family my nephews. Youngest to oldest. Brandon was on JV but they moved him to varsity when he got to the meet. He did very awesome, won the match. Next was Dylan, he had a little pit of a bad day. Because he weighed in at 131 but had to wrestle 140 pound kids. So just say they were a little bigger normally that isn't much but in wrestling it is a lot. 3 matches were lost that day but he tried hard. And for the newest one, Kyle he went out there not knowing what to expect being his first match. He won all three matches. One kid he pinned in 22 seconds. I just have to say WOW!!!! Next time I am going to see him and get pics :)

Sunday we were able to spend ALL day at my parents. Kids bundled up to play outside but it was freezing and windy. So we ate breakfast then lunch and we couldn't miss dinner. My mom made a turkey so we had to have everything to go with it. This may SHOCK some of you (Larissa). The kids , myself and Grandpa made mini cupcakes.

We decorated them with frosting and sprinkes. They were a hit all were gone by the time we went home, we made a lot too. Kyle, Mark, Lee, Dennis, Katherine, BJ, and Clara all stopped in to visit also. All around good time.

Lost pics of JJ B-Day!!!

Sleepover with Carter (that is JJ under Carters arms they love each other)

It was such a long day of fun the boys are so tired (carter is in back seat) Of course they were faking You think we would be that lucky!!!!

Look at Cody's smile Carter looks real Peyton can sleep and drink JJ is a good faker

Another day at the Sandovals

Luke's first time in the walker. He is getting to big.

JJ showing little brother how to play the DS. Luke is so interested.

Today the kids are happy to be getting the Christmas Tree up when dad gets home.

(they are so adorable had to put another up :)

Now JJ is showing him how to be lazy. But I think Luke has that down.

Just a little about what has been going on. Still we have been doing wrestling JJ won two matches last weekend and for Brandon he won two also. And if you know me I love to go watch my nephews when they are in sports, So we decided to join LJ and April last night to watch Dylan wrestle for Orting High School. He was on JV and won the match after he gave the guy the run around, his coach yelled, "pin the guy" and that is what he did. It is very exciting. Kyle is also in wrestling on Whiteriver team haven't had the chance to go see him but you will here about it when I do. :) Have a good day! and stay warm in this weather.

The long weekend

JJ has his first metal!!

Again our Saturday was at wrestling. JJ came home with a 3rd place metal he was so excited. The day started out hard and he was getting frustrated but on the last match coach Jared told him if he gets in there and wins he can go get his metal. And that is what he did, he pinned the boy. We are pretty proud of him even though there was only four wrestlers and he got third. :)

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving Day was very fulfilling. We started out up at The Sandoval's house. Julian brother was here from school. We had a good time with the friends that joined us. Then off to The Rodarte house which we spent with my family, Mark and Lee, Chalo and Cheryl's family, Roger and Margarert's family. And as you know we ate until we couldn't move. Always fun. Jerry and April took their family on a road trip to Moses Lake to meet Clara's parents (that is BJ girlfriend or his babies momma which ever :) Brandon also wrestled on Friday at Tough Guy he won 3 lost 2 but did a great job.

My GIRLS

They are not in sports yet so they pretty much tag along with us to wrestling. But don't think they don't like it that is when they get to spend time with the Thomas girls. Conferences last week. Selena's grades are good. She loves school, you can say she loves reading and math, I don't know where she gets that from not me. Natasha is doing Ok. We have to work with her on reading. And if you know Tash she loves to talk and visit people ( I know were she gets that) Her math is good. they must get it from grandpa Phillip. They are loving 2nd and 3rd grade so far.

SORRY so long but catching up and had to tell you about long weekend. HAve a good Day!!!

Happy 16th birthday KYLE and JJ is now 5

Yes, another one of my wonderful nephews is on the road. Kyle had his birthday yesterday and was driving around. From Maple Valley to Enumclaw down to Orting there is no stopping him now. This is so exciting for him. So if you see him on the road give a little wave of congrats. I also want to tell you how JJ's fifth birthday went. He had his buddy Carter stay over on Friday night which is always fun for him. Then on Saturday we took him Carter, Cody, and Peyton on a boys day out. And all I have to say "I am glad I even my kids out 2 girls 2boys " We had a great time bowling, mini golf, laser tag, and JJ and Cody won't let you forget about our meals :) to end the night we joined the family at Godfathers. JJ says Thank YOU to everyone that spent his special day with him. Also he want to let Jenny know he loves his pumpkin pie it has been a treat every year and he looks forward to it.

The weekend went well. Friday night the girls headed over to grandma and grandpa Rodarte's house for two nights. I myself went to a baby shower and spent time with some cousins and as all ways it was a blast. We have to do that more often. Julian was able to spent time with JJ at his parents. Luke if you were wondering was with mommy :) Saturday well let me just say wrestling. Sunday we were able to spent time with the Lawson's and the Thomas's after Jordans little injury. Dinner was great as always. SORRY about no pics yet Next time I hope.

First Day!

Well I was looking at all your blogs out there and I had a good time seeing all the pics and catching up on the family. So I thought I would try it. But the thing is I am not good at it, so bare with me.

Today the kids had no school. We all hung out at our home until we had to go to wrestling. Yes WRESTLING some of you know what I am talking about. JJ this is his first year (thanks to his Uncle LJ) he is doing very well one loss two pins and three wins by points. He is a tough little guy. Selena is 9 now and in the 3rd grade. She loves music, reading, and does awesome in school. Natasha is 7yrs old and in the second grade. She has a little more trouble in school but is doing her hardest to learn. She loves to dress up and do her make-up, she loves to be with her cousins. Now last but not least our little Luke Phillip Aaron Sandoval (that is one long name) he is 13 weeks old and he LOVES to eat. He is the life of our family lately. I don't think a day goes by with out Luke getting about a hundred kisses. As for myself I spent my days and nights with the kids. I can't get enough of them. Julian spends his days at work and evenings with the kids. but he does get the football games in also.
