Introducing Baby Quinton

On April 23rd at 4:39pm, Quinton Jay Santana was born.  Jason and Katie decided to not find out the sex until the birth so it was really exciting to finally find out.  I am so happy to have a nephew and can't wait to see him grow over the years.  He is really a good baby too.  Only cries when he needs something and will be wide awake and content just looking around.  He is so cute! Welcome to the family baby Q....we are so happy to have you here.

Pure joy....holding my lil guy. Love him so much!

Here he is bright eyed and ready to see the world.  I couldn't believe how alert he was.

Sleeping boy. So,  precious.

I also got to spend some time with Ashlyn.  It was a great weekend....spending time with my niece and nephew. :)

Best buds

Here are a few random pictures of the kiddos together.  I am so grateful they love each other so much and have so much fun together.  Don't get me wrong....Jamie likes to bug his little sister as much as possible and she likes to bug him too but all in all they are best buds and love being around each other.  I hope this will continue as they get older. 

Jamie likes to go into Jordan's crib when she wakes up.  She is 2 1/2 yrs old and has not tried to climb out of her crib so she's staying put. I know once we move her to a big girl bed we'll get nightly visits from her. :)

Playing in cardboard boxes.  BEST TOY EVER!

Always looking up to her big bro.  Jamie was putting shorts on his head and sticking them straight out saying he was a "hammerhead shark."  Jordan wanted to join in the fun too.

Brother and sister love. 

Catching up....Trip to the Tucson Air Show

I'm trying to catch up with our blog so over the next few days I'll be posting a lot. :)  This post is from when we went to the big air show in Tucson back in April.  We went down the night before and stayed at a hotel (the kids LOVE staying in hotels...especially Jamie) and then we went to the show the next day.  This particular weekend we had very cool weather.  We enjoyed the show and hope to go again next year.

Jamie didn't adjust to the cold weather that well.  He is definitely an Arizonan baby.

Jordan really enjoyed the show.  We were in a plane and she sat down in the seat, buckled herself up and was ready to take off.  Once she realized we wouldn't be taking off she was little disappointed. :)

"Look at me, mama!" 

Jordan was able to sit in the co-pilot seat.  She was so excited and was talking and talking to the pilot.  Luckily, he thought she was a cutie and he enjoyed having her sit with him.

The family. XOXO

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  We celebrated the day by going over to Nani's and Poppi's for a nice brunch with mimosas and had the kids color eggs.  Nani and Poppi always have a great time doing this with the kids.  We went back home for nap time and then came back over for the Easter Egg Hunt, basket search, and ended the evening with a fabulous pot roast dinner.  

Great food + tons of fun for the kids + being with family = Perfect Easter Day! 

Nani and her Easter Bunny!

Jordan started with a tee shirt on but was so into coloring the eggs in needed to come off.

Jamie waiting with such anticipation!  What will the eggs look like???

Ready for the hunt!  The 3D glasses came in Jamie's Easter egg coloring kit. He wore those for days after.

Daddy did a great job hiding the eggs.  They were racing eachother to see who could find them first.

The Easter Bunny had a perfect idea of what to put inside the eggs.  The Easter Bunny knows we prefer to not have candy inside so this year he put pennies.  Inside their Easter Basket were Cars 2 plastic holders where they could put all of their pennies and bring them to Serranos or Paradise Bakery so they can make a wish in the fountain outside the restaurants. :)

Jordan found her basket right away and wanted to start opening it outside.
