Lencho, Lucia and Alma keeping warm in the house.

We went to Lencho's sisters house and had a snow ball fight with everyone. Here's Lencho's brother Robert thinking he was the best snow ball maker but he's from California and dosent know anything about snow balls.

Here's Sammy getting hit.

Lucia enjoyed making snow balls for her daddy to throw.

Daddy and Lucia

Mom and Lucia

Lucia out in the snow. She loves to play outside in it. Our neighbor boy takes Lucia out sledding and she has so much fun. It's a struggle to bring her inside. Last time we checked we had 15 inches. Thank goodness the snow has stopped for now. Lets hope for warm weather!

Christmas Tree Time

Alma got to hang out in the sling while we searched for the perfect tree.

The three Rodriguez girls. We make dad proud!

Lucia had fun searching through the fields for the perfect tree.

Messy painting

So we took out the paint and started to paint. She loved wearing one of daddy's old shirts and get Messy.

But then her Daddy taught her how to paint herself. So as you can tell she liked painting herself more than the paper.

Don't forget to vote!

Lucia is reminding everyone to vote! She usually does her chant for Obama any time she sees him on TV, or just walks around saying his name.
You can't see Alma's shirt but the girls are wearing their Vote Now shirts.

Here's Alma also reminding everyone to vote!

Happy Halloween!

Lucia was a very cute Minnie Mouse and Alma was a cute pumpkin. I know Lucia doesn't look happy in the picture but she wanted to hurry up and get outside, and her crazy mom kept taking pictures.

We had a good Halloween. We started at the mall which was absolutely crazy. But I guess good for babies and toddlers on such a cold night. Then we went to our friends the Meadows for a Halloween party. Lucia and her daddy went out to a couple of houses to trick or treat but she was cold and tired. She had a fun experience trick or treating. She also won best costume in the kids category in the costume contest at our friends party. We had a good evening but we were all tired and ready to come home at the end of the night. Her candy is put away for only mom and dad to eat, good thing she already forgot about the candy. Lencho and I have to spell candy around her c-a-n-d-y. Before we know it she is going to know what that spells.

SHE'S HERE!!!

Here's Alma getting a kiss from her big sister Lucia!

Here we are the new family of four on our way home.

Alma Lorena Rodriguez was born on October 18 at 10:49 am. She is very healthy and cute as can be. She has lots of hair, more than her sister did. Lucia loves being a big sister. We are all doing good. We are just trying to figure out how to manage everything with two girls now. Lencho is so proud of his two girls.

Pumpkin Patch

We had a nice fall day so we took Lucia to Gordon's pumpkin patch.

Here she is with the pumpkin she picked. Lencho walked her around to look at all the pumpkins but she kept coming back to this one. She was so excited to have picked her very own pumpkin.



But after looking at all the pumpkins she was more interested in the rocks.

School Time for Lucia

Here's Lucia getting ready to leave the house.
Here we are after her first day of school

Lucia and Moises

This past Thursday Lucia started the toddler program at Trinity Lutheran. She goes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for an hour and a half. She did so good on the first day I actually was able to leave her by herself and go to the grocery store. I think that it was harder for Lencho and I to leave her. She especially loves going becasue Moises is there with her. They both had a really good time. It was so cute to see her walking to her class with her Dora backpack on. The backpack was as big as she was. Hopefully she will continue to have a good time!

Baby Shower Time

So it was that time again to have another baby shower. It was at my mom's house on the 27th of September. Since the weather was so nice we were able to have it outside.
I had lots of fun with my closest friends. We got lots of cute gifts for the baby.
She should be here soon.

Sesame Street

As most of you know Lucia loves Elmo. So we decided to take her to see Sesame Street live this past weekend. She loved it. She was shaking with excitment when they first came out on stage.
She actually sat through the entire show. She danced and sang well actually screamed with them. She had so much fun! We were so glad that we decided to take her. The look on her face was worth it.
Here he is the one and only Elmo. We were in the third row so she got to see them up close. They would walk through the crowd. She enjoyed them on stage but not to close to her. The "Count" from Sesame Street got a little to close to her and she didn't really like that.

Tulip Time

Lucia smelling the daffodils. She loved running around in the field of flowers.
Here we are in the tulips.
Lucia's trying to pick the tulips.

Sorry to our family that came to visit us in April and missed the tulips. The weekend before these pictures were taken we were at the street fair and we got snowed on. So you never know when the tulips will arrive here in Washington.

Surprise!!

So to our surprise we are expecting another baby. We are very excited. I am 3 months pregnant. With a due date of October 25. I know it seems as though we just had Lucia but she's ready to be a big sister. Here's how we told some friends the news. Look at Lucia's face she is so excited.
