Monster Jam!

For Valentines Day, Marshall took the kids to Monster Jam 2010. He had taken Caymus 2 years ago and he talks about it all the time, and loves monster trucks. So this year both kids go to go and both had a blast!

Right at the end Grave Digger flipped over and I guess it was quite something watching them flip him back upright. And amazingly he still won!

Valentines Day Parties

I love class parties! Both kids had a lot of fun and strangely similar parties! That could have something to do with me being a class mom for both classes. I do have counter parts in the planning department fortunately!
They passed out their valentines and read each and everyone of them. So cute hearing them oooo and aaaaa over the cards and thank their friends. Then we made a cute little craft with a picture of them on it, decorated cookies and ate a ton of candy and sugar!

Caymus with his "I love you this much!" picture craft.

I think someone learned how to do bunny ears!

Happy Valentines day!!!

200th Post and 30th Birthday

The good news is I made it out of bed this morning.....that's a start right? I am officially in my 30s now.....good by to my 20s.......I have heard that your not really an adult until your 30s....so what was I before?

Here is a collage of photos my dad had made a while back.....

January photo update

Well since I am a month behind in my blogging I am going to just update you with some photos and then pick up in February....

We celebrated Moka's 9th birthday on Dec 30th. He invited Houston the cat this year....

On January 6th we enjoyed 3 kings day. This is a favorite around here because it is our special holiday....Only the Puerto Ricans in our family actually get to celebrate it.....

We have been busy with wrestling, here is Caymus at a meet in Newberg. What a little stud! I just love watching him tear it up on the mat!

We took the team to Redmond, Or for the Oregon Classic. This is one of the largest meets in the country. 3 full days of wrestling. Lucy got to compete in the all girls division. We have fond memories of taking our girls teams in the past. It was really fun to share this with her!

Here is Lucy and her BFF Sara getting ready to wrestle.

A Beachy Christmas

The day after Christmas we headed out to Washington to visit my folks on the Island.
My little brother was home for a little break from his Army training, so we got to have a nice little visit with him as well.

Pvt. Pitman and my dad.

Caymus always shows his excitement with the gifts he receives. This is one of his very favorites.

My brother Reid, who could not make it off Mt Rainer for our little gathering did leave gifts for us, new SOCKS!!! Thanks Brother!

Yay for Aprons!!! My Mom giving us her best Marilyn Monroe!

Marshall what is that your drinking? I cant tell its all camouflage!

Christmas at Roacheopolis

Well once again we woke the kids up....cant say I don't mind, I know a day will come when they are coming into our room at 4am asking if Santa has come....


They both had bean bag chairs waiting for them in front of the fire, awesome!!! This year they were both so sweet with each other, waiting while the other kid opened their stuff before digging into their own. Moka opens all of his own gifts too.

Marshall gave them both their Yellow belts, they have earned them and it was way past due. Boy were they happy about that!

Caymus and his remote controlled monster truck!! Thanks Abu and Papa!


Lucy, loves all things girly!

Marshall was spoiled this year. I a friend of mine take some photos of me and then I had them made into a photo book. It turned out great and he was VERY happy with them!

Here I am in all my morning splender! Making sticky buns for brunch. Just had to prove I was there!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We had a very calm and relaxing Christmas Eve.
The kids and I made a Gingerbread house and ate all the leftover candy.....



I sewed the rest of my Christmas presents for the family, everyone got aprons this year, hope you all liked them!

Then I set in on making our Christmas Eve feast. We have been having fondue for xmas eve for ages, it started as a tradition with my parents. Well this year I made deer sausage meat balls, little smokies, and fresh pan de agua (PR french bread). All those items came out great, but my fondue, not so much. I don't know what happened, but the cheese never really combined with the Guinness and it was kinda chunky, tasted good, but was not think and perfect. Oh well. We did our best to eat our fill anyway.

The kids set up the plate of goodies for Santa and headed off to bed.
