This pic shows just about how short i cut my hair. I like it besides the fact that i have some Joan Jett bangs that drive me nuts! It is much shorter in back than front. 

Christmas Eve

Apparently neither Rosie or I took many pics at my moms on Christmas Eve. BUT as promised i did get several with Rosie in them! So this is 'us'.........or here we are or whatever! I love this of us. I put it on my fridge.

Christmas card shoot

Some pics that didn't make it to the card. But cute nonetheless! I got the girls these sweaters and tights, i thought they were dresses but seems they were a little short.......so we had to find some skirts at the last minute to go with them.
 

Yule Log

This is Javi warming up by the Yule Log on Channel 45!!! This is so hilarious! They play Christmas music and just have a burning log allllll day! Notice Lili looking at her dad wondering what the heck he is doing by the TV. Or maybe she is wondering what a fire is doing inside our TV.
 

Dance Class

We had family day at dance class last week. Frankie insisted on wearing this leotard with no skirt. Fine. Then she wanted to leave this strand of hair out of her ponytail. Fine. You know, i don't have time for these little details! But when we went to dance and all the other little girls had on their pretty little tutu's.......Frankie sure learned her lesson! She kept playing with this ribbon tie from her tap shoe, and trying to tie it around her ankle and the teacher kept asking her for it and of course she would say "no, i'm tying it on my ankle!" I was sitting in my seat video taping just willing the teacher to "JUST GRAB IT!" But she never did. Oh, well. It was a cute little performance anyway! LOL!
I love thse pics though. She really looks like she is concentrating on the dance (but she was really in a daze the whole time!) and check out those abs!!! 

Weather

We really do have weather around here. It's not often but lately it's been pretty cold! OK.......for us it has been. I wore a scarf the other day. Those things really keep you toasty! LOL! Anyway, this was last weekend. A view down our street and a view of the front of our house. I haven't seen fog in so long! I went to the kids room and said, "YOU have got to come outside and see this!" They bolted up like lightening! I know they think i had some kind of Christmas surprise outside, or had seen Santa or something. But no. Just some boring old fog!
 

Christmas pics!

We finally got a tree! Here are some pics at the tree lot. I can't beleive i actually got a decent photo of everyone!!! Yay! Except for Lili. She is as Javi calls her "a little speed demon"....she does not stay still! So her pic is a little blurry. But i'll take what i can get!
What????? Is that Lisa in a photo???? It's almost as bad as poor Rosie! That girl is never in photos! OK....note to self..........take lot's of pics on Christmas of Rosie........."got that rosie??? I gothcher back!"
LOVE These pics!!!!
ONLY IN ARIZONA!!! Looks like Javi is making Christmas tree soup! We heard that if you leave the tree in the pool overnight it will "stay fresher longer". What the Heck! We'll try anything to keep it fresh, we don't want a crispy tree! (fire hazard) yikes!
I'll keep you posted on it's freshness! To bad they don't make a big jumbo baggy......we could keep it all year!!!

And so, we brought it in the next day and I let the kids decorate it. It took everything in my power to let them "just do it"!!! I tend to be a little of a control freak when it comes to this sort of thing! But i did it and they put ornaments 'wherever'......and in clusters, and heavy ornaments on weak branches......BUT, it looks great! 

School Pics

Here are the kids school pics. Unfortunately i didn't oreder enough of the right sizes, and extras for sending out. I don't know what i was thinking. But i had a friend scan them so i could post. I am still going to try to take the to walmart or something to see if they will print them. You know, those dumb 'ol copyright laws.
I love the girls pics in their Mexican vestidos! These are Emilio's retakes, cuz the picture people told him to smile with his teeth or they would send him to the office!!! Can you beleive it?? I wrote a note on the retake form to let him smile how he wants to!
As for Cruzie....he has since had a haircut!!!! Isn't he a dolly though??????

Snowfalkes

This is our winterwonderland in the kitchen. I guess you could say we got a little carried away cutting snowflakes! We were amazed that they all truly came out different!!! We tried to duplicate some that were extra pretty and it was impossible!!!!
But........it does look very pretty in our kitchen! Javi also strung up some christmas lights in there so it looks great at night!!!! 

My Christmas Angels!

Do you think this will be a good Christmas greeting for friends and family? Aren't they so photogenic??? Wow. MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Espinosa family!  

Is it Really December???

Well, no. It's really not, but almost! And it seems wrong to post these photos of my dear children frolicking on the beach in Mexico!!! Well, that is while {some} of you are in below zero temperatures!! (I won't mention any names!!) This will probably be the last they see of bathing suits until next year, for sure!

 

Project Runway

here we come! So how do you like liliana's latest fashion statement? I just couldn't resist painting some clothes on Lili! Not bad if you ask me!

 

DO NOT DISTURB

the process! Today Frankie wanted to paint. No big deal. I don't mind her painting at all! But then i notice little by little, she isn't painting on the paper! And soon the paper goes straight into the paint cups! She crumpled it into a little ball and put it in the paint, then would squeeeeeze all the paint into another cup. It was quite interesting and she had a little system going, so i just let her do it without saying a word! I was actually curious how far she would take this process! That's what good mommies do, you know. Well.....actually, I was on the phone!!!! Haaaa haaaaa!!!!
That's the only reason i let her go...... 

Are you satisfied????

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all better leave some comments! And don't forget to scroll all the way down, cuz i messed up on the dates! ENJOY!!!! Lisa 

and more.....
