I can't believe this guy is 4 months old. He is such a bundle of joy, always Mr. Happy and always so smiley! We sure love our Saucey Boy!
I love those chunky cheeks! 
Chunky Monkey!
Group Hug
Carter sucking on his thumb
We love our baby brother!!
So hard to get a good picture of 3 kids...best we can do today.
Strong baby!
Look at those thunder thighs.
Here's Carter and Daddy at lunch time today.
My Daddy is so funny!
Carter likes to have his hand kissed.
Such a happy baby =)
Here's my almost 4 month old, hanging out in his car seat while the older kids played outside.
Smiley Baby
About 30 seconds after I took this picture, he was sound asleep, all snug as a bug on a rug.
They rode bikes for awhile...
and their scooters.
Ava's back on her rigorous bath schedule due to her eczema flaring up again. Poor girl, can't catch a break.
Concentrating on lining up her toys.
All lined up, categorized by movie character =)
May the Force Be With You, Always!
Playing with their Light Sabers.
Ahhh, Darth Vader is coming to get me.
But Ava told me "No, mom, it's not Darth Bader, it's just me, Ava. I fooled you!"
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Ava got some Mickey Mouse and Princess puzzles for Christmas. Puzzles are now one of her favorite activities to do during the day. After doing them a few times with Mommy, she has figured out how to put them together all by herself.
Here she is concentrating hard. 
Yay Ava!! So proud of herself!!
Ava playing with her Barbie. She likes to brush her hair to get all the tangles out.
Playing with her doll house.
The baby is going up the stairs.
Cristian playing air hockey. I am getting really good at playing while holding a baby in my arms... what a bicep workout for my left arm.
Cristian got a hair cut on Sunday. They cut it really short... but still cute =)
Cristian and Ava love to play with their little brother, and he loves attention from them. Here they are encouraging him to roll over.
Yay Carter!!
Poor buddy had to go to the doctor a few days ago because his left eye was all goopy. Turns out he had pink eye... got some drops and now the eye's all better =) Amazingly, he doesn't even mind getting his eye drops 3 times a day!!
Big Guy was 15lbs 8oz at 3 1/2 months old...
My Smiley Boy. My baby is 15 weeks old now (3 1/2 months). Time has just flown by since this little guy entered our lives. We sure love him!! 
I love the toothless grin.
And this is what he thinks of tummy time. (he was on his tummy, then he rolled over and this was the saddest little face that he flashed me) But, 15 seconds later he was back to smiling, LOL.
We woke up to a fresh new blanket of snow this morning... (this picture was taken on my cell phone, so not the clearest) I wonder if this is going to be a long winter??
Happy New Year Everyone! Can't wait to see what adventures 2009 will bring our family!
Space Needle Fireworks show.
Ava waiting while we were checking into the hotel... she kept saying, "Let's get the party started, uh huh, uh huh!"
Close up of Carter... his First New Year celebration in Seattle.
Me and Carter walking to dinner. New Year's Eve is also the anniversary of when Kyle and I got engaged. Can't believe that was 7 years ago... a lot has happened since then!
Our Family. We ate dinner at Tulio's, they had a special New Year's Eve menu, the food was excellent! I was impressed, my kids did well at a nicer restaurant. I think it's important for them to learn manners and proper etiquette.
Celebrating, and waiting for midnight to roll around. What a lively bunch ;-)
Cheers, Happy New Year Cristian.
Just about 20 more minutes until midnight!!
Sleepy Ava
This picture cracks me up... my poor kids were like zombies at midnight. Because the weather was so nasty (freezing cold, windy, and sporadic rain showers...typical Seattle winter day) We decided to celebrate the new year at our hotel. They opened up the lounge on the top floor, and they served hors d'oeuvres and drinks. They passed out those blowers and hats, and had black and silver balloons, it was quite festive. Here they are waiting for the firework show to start... (about 3 minutes before midnight)
Firework Show...pretty cool!
Group shot just after midnight... Happy New Year!!
Nannie with the kids watching the Rose Parade New Year's morning.
My aunt Beth and family watched Mia for us... we stopped by her house on our way home and the kids enjoyed playing with cousin Samantha's bird. Ava wasn't too sure about it being on her, she liked it better from afar.
Cristian loved the bird.
