Cutest Pictures Ever...

Well at least the cutest ones I've ever come up with and took! I have been lacking big time in the picture department with baby #2 syndrome (a serious syndrome that causes a major decrease in picture taking and printing when compared to first baby, not all moms and dad have this but it very common) ;) Well this sparked my interest in that department and I ordered prints today! YAYYY So you can expect to receive pictures like the ones shown below and many more! BTW dont know why I'm going for the corny TV ad persona-oh well Stay at home moms are a little crazy I guess!

Avila Barn

  I couldn't resist taking these two pictures!

                     Bella didnt understand the farmer look I trying to get her to go for ;) Oh well...

   What you dont see in this picture is the taste testing of the goats food prior to feeding the goat !

Pictures of Elliat Caprice Salazar!

Elliat Caprice (I LOVE her name!) made her way a little more than 4 weeks early on July 22nd weighing 6 lbs 7oz and she was 19 in. long! Though it may not have been very early and she was a decent weight, Baby Ellie has had a bumpy start but is improving more and more every day! She especially seems to be rapidly improving now that Mama and Daddy have been able to hold her! I thank everybody for your prayers, I believe that God is answering them! Frank and Amy both Accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Amy seems to be doing well. She will most likely have surgery to correct her AVM in about 6-8 weeks. Now to the pictures!

The proud daddy (my Brother Frank)

Lots of hair!

The proud parents.

Baby Elliat!

Antonio is a proud big brother...again ;)

I got to hold her too!YAY!

Mommy talking to her baby.

She's so tiny.

'Some Random pics to make up for not posting for a while on my blog' Post...

This is a picture of Bella in her bonnet that I got for free from someone on Etsy in exchange for taking some pictures of her in it! My mom was not a big fan of it, but I think its pretty cute and I got a $30 handmade item for a few Pictures ;)

This is a picture of Bella when she was a baby, I almost cried looking at some video of her, its amazing how fast time goes by.

Heres a picture of daddy and his girls! Bella is always so enthused :)

Heres a picture of Emilia!...

and another!

and heres one of Bellers at our churches Vacation Bible School!

and heres one of Bella and her doggie!

Good Ol Fashioned home made clothes!

Look what I can do! I really needed some new skirts (ok, I really wanted) but I didnt want to spend the extra green on them. So I decided to blow the dust off my trusty sewing machine and take a go at it! Bella loved her new found denim neck warmer (aka cut off pant leg) and I had a new skirt which cost me all of a couple bucks for the thread and an hour and a half of my time! Yay!

Brotherly (and sisterly) Love

Me and my Brothers! We had a great time taking pictures, this pose was the best and was thought up by My older brother Frank (middle) who is the only sibling that doesn't dabble in photography...figures. Then the boys had to pose for 'the' brothers photo as seen below ;)

Cousins

I love this picture! My brothers kids are smiling and looking as sweet as can be and then there's my children...need I say more?

'Nice' Park

This was at the Park, Frank (my older Brother) took us to while we were visiting, I have to admit it was a very nice park but it creeped me out slightly. It had a million and one awesome photo opportunities and probably more if you not an amateur like me ;) All and all, it was a wonderful time spent with my brother, his wife and my niece and nephew! Antonio is just like his Daddy!

Feeding the ducks in Idaho

We Finally got to feed the ducks in Idaho! After months of nonstop 'Can we go to Idaho and feed the ducks?' I finally was able to tell Bella, 'Yes, Bella, We can go to Idaho and feed the ducks!' Bella was bit 5 times by the impatient geese that could just not wait for Bellas slow hands to rip a piece of bread and toss it to them and yet she continued to ask Uncle Fankie for slice after slice! Mariah had a blast and her only foul (pun intended, insert corny laugh here) was the Goose poop that was tracked into Franks Durango! I also later was informed that feeding the ducks in Idaho is illegal ;)
