July 24th weekend

Across the dirt road from the cabin

Watching the guys play the "washer game"

Vanessa and Gabriel soaking in the sun (with SPF 50 of course)

Brittney holding a snake that was also playing in the front yard of the cabin

Britt's cute boyfriend and his family invited us to stay with them at their cabin in Strawberry. This was our second time up there and it was very relaxing. The adults didn't do much but stay at the cabin to eat, drink, nap, and play games. The others went boating, boarding, and swimming. We hope to go up to the cabin at least one more time before the summer is over. Thanks to the Garcia/Serrato family for inviting us. We LOVED it.

Thank You Tracy

Must be dreaming about going to Grandma's house.

Precious Little Angel

Grandma and Gabriel Time

Just finished a temper tantrum.

These are a couple of pics that my friend Tracy took of little Gabriel. He is growing so fast! Thank you for being so patient the day that you took these. I think that was the first day of "Cholic". He is getting much better. He still is stinkn' cute.

6 Weeks Old

I can't believe that my little Gabriel is already 6 1/2 weeks old. It seems like just yesterday he was born. He is starting to recognize voices and when he lays down after eating, he likes to "coo" to whoever will listen. He is now 10 lbs 2 ounces and is 23 and 1/4 inches long. Here is the most recent picture. Enjoy.

A Little Get-Away

Matthew at Uncle Jerry and Aunt Patsy's House

Britt and Marco at cousin Lenny's house for a B-B-Q

Vanessa and Britt at "Hot Topic" in the Colorado Mills Mall (Baby Gabriel in sling)

Westminster Mall the kids being silly. We had a fun time together.

The week was fun. We left Salt Lake City on Monday the 13th headed for Colorado for some fun. Unfortunately Roger could not come with us so it was Matthew,Brittney,Marco and myself who drove and Vanessa and baby Gabriel flew. We arrived within an hour of eachother. The week was spent eating ,sleeping,playing, shopping, visiting, a movie "X-Men" and more eating. My main reason for going was to reunite with my family on my father's side and let my children and grandson meet them also. It was great and went better than I ever imagined. It was sad when it was time to go. I hope that soon I can go back and take Roger to meet them.

Sweet Angel of Mine

I cant believe Gabriel is already 1 month old! He is so stinkn' cute. With every day that passes, he changes in little ways. We all just love him sooooo much.

Baby showers

The original shower was scheduled for June 6th. As you all know, baby Gabriel decided to come early and was born on June 4th. We were able to have a family baby shower before he came into our world and we had a baby shower with friends when Gabriel was just 1 week old. Needless to say....he was spoiled with gifts. Thank you to all of our family and friends for the wonderful things you gave to my grandson. We appreciate it so much. Here are some pictures from the 1st shower and one from the 2nd shower.
