Maya's first snow trip

On Saturday, we went up to Meadow Vista to play Pickleball. After Pickleball, We headed up to the snow. It was Maya's first time in the snow. Raquel had just bought her a snow outfit and Maya really enjoyed the whole experience. It was really cute to watch Maya crawl on the snow. Raquel even threw snowballs at Maya. Mean Mommy!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy and Maya

For those of you who don't know already, Maya and I share the same birthday, January 11. Maya was supposed to be born in late March but decided to give her daddy an early Birthday present in 2007.
We celebrated on the 11th with several family members. My mom and step-dad Mike were able to come for our birthday's which of course made us all very happy. Jamie, Shannon, and her Mom and Grandma made it to the party. Raquel's family also made it to the party. Our very good friend Malcolm attended the party as well.
The party started at Chuck E Cheese. We had a great time eating pizza and playing the video and skeeball games. After about three hours, we headed to our house for cake and ice cream. We had a great time! Except for the fact that Maya received about four times as many gifts as me!

Christmas 2007

Christmas 2007 was great! We actually celebrated Christmas five separate times. The celebration started with dinner Christmas eve at Raquel's parents house and then we went to midnight mass at their church. The next morning we celebrated Christmas with my Dad. Mid-morning we headed to Grandma Tucker's and celebrated with her. Late afternoon, we headed to Jamie and Shannons. Two days after Christmas, we went to Las Vegas to celebrate with Mom, Mike, and Grandma.

Maya had a great first Christmas. By far, she received more gifts than anyone. She also had two Christmas outfits. Even though she cute in anything, she looked especially cute in her Santa outfit. Maya also showed her generosity in her first Christmas by giving her Mom a diaper, thats all she could afford given the fact that she is just a baby with no job. However, as soon as Raquel pulled out the diaper from the gift bag, Maya crawled over and took it away from her.

Maya at Halloween

Long time, no posts

It's been a long time since my last posting. Raquel and I have been so busy with Maya. It's hard to describe how much work, time, and attention go into having a baby. It's seems like it was just yesterday that I started the blog but it was actually months ago. This whole year has just gone bye in a blur. Hopefully I will be able to keep the blog more up to date in the future. I will be posting photos of our adventures the last few months very soon.
