Sears Photos

We took Eliseo to Sears to get portraits taken for his 2nd birthday.

This first one of him with the number 2 was taken last Sunday.

Our original appointment was on Saturday at 6pm, but on the way there he fell asleep and when he woke up he was in a bad mood, so we had to go back on Sunday at 11am for the second half of the session hoping he'd be in a better mood.

The ones of him in the black and white outfit were taken on Saturday.

He was happy when he was with Carlos or me, but for some reason he would only cry when we tried to sit him with Vito & Vita. We were a tad upset with him, but I guess he was moody that day. He did look very spiffy in this outfit though... with a tie and everything... a little man. Doesn't he look just like his father? Very handsome.

Here I am with my son.
Although I wish I would've done his hair different,
it didn't look as good as when we fixed it in the morning.

We were able to get this shot of all of us, but as you can see, he doesn't look too thrilled.

Eliseo's 2nd Birthday

Today was Eliseo's 2nd birthday.

He didn't waste time before digging into his cake.

We bought him a Little Tykes swing set that has two slides and two swings.

We got him a new Batman motorized quad that he can ride like a motorcycle.

We sang happy birthday.

We barbequed hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks.

It was a good day :-)

Eliseo and the Puppies

I let Eliseo hold one of the puppies today.

He didn't want to put him down.

He is very good at holding them.

San Diego Beach

We made a quick stop at the beach in San Diego last Saturday.

It was Eliseo's first time at the beach.

He fell once when the waves went over his feet.

He liked the feeling of the sand on his bare feet.

Verona's New Puppies

When I got home from work today, I heard little meowing noises coming from Verona's crate. Oh Man... she was having babies!
(We thought she was going to have babies before Christmas and were disappointed when she didn't. Then just recently Carlos said Verona was acting pregnant.)
I noticed she had pooped so I let her out. When she went out the door, another baby fell out of her and onto the grass... WHAT THE! I had to pick it up and put it with the other ones. She had 8 puppies, but unfortunately 2 of them didn't make it.

Here is a close up of one of the little guys. These are pure German Shepherds... both parents are AKC registered and Verona's grandfather was "Best in Show" at the Eukanuba dog show several years ago.
And NO, you can't have one for free if you're family... these babies are $800 each... time to pay off some bills :-)

Carlos is also training a male German Shepherd puppy named "Zeus" for a co-worker. Eliseo is already calling him by his name... no sweetie, you can't keep him!

Resurrection Day Sunday

Dad & Mom went with us to Church on Sunday morning. We got there right on time and it was so crowded. We had to park in an overflow dirt parking lot and it was quite warm. We sat in a little dome shaped structure and watched the service on a big screen. It was comfortable and air conditioned.
After church we had Shakey's pizza, chicken & mojos. Then mom made some delicious dessert with strawberries, angel food cake, and whipped cream... MMmmm..

Then we hid some eggs in the front yard for Eliseo to find. He was a little tired because he just woke up from his nap, but he did find all the eggs.

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!

My 3rd Trimester

Ok, here is the latest fat photo.

Today is the first day of my 28th week (3rd & last trimester).

How much bigger can I get?

AAAAA!!!!
