So this past weekend we had carmens 4th birthday party and I think it went pretty well. It was freezing cold outside so the kids could not go out side and play on her new present that you will see at the end of the photos. She also got a fish for her birthday so we will see how that goes, i'm not to good at keeping things alive (things that are not human and can not tell me what they want).

I went outside to put water on the fresh grass and I came into this wonderful photo opportunity. me and my mom had just cleaned everything up.

In these next two photos we were at the zoo with charlies sister and brother in law and all the girls. All the girls includes, carmen and isa, their sisters maria and fatima, whom charlies sister is adopting. It was a fun time. Peyton wanted to be held most of the time while the other kids were running around having so much fun.

While i'm at school and charlie is home peyton stays with him and here she is enjoying playing in the laundry basket. And then here is the girls present, we got it finished on Carmens birthday. So if you have been to our house lately (past year or so) you know how messed up our back yard was. Now it is level for the most part and enjoyable for the first time in five years. We love it!!!!!
