Apres Xmas

We have been heading up to Mammoth Lakes for some skiing- here we are at the nordic center in front of our new car (notice the sweet roof box) . . .

Paul pulling Dez in the Burley while cross country skiing.  Go Paul!

Dez looks skeptical at the beginning.  But is happy at the end . . .

Abuelita bought this cute personalized xmas shirt for Dez -

GP went back to work and spends most of the day worrying about Dez (how much did he eat, did he eat, when did he eat, did he sleep, how long, is he happy, you get the picture . . .).  Based on the below picture taken by Steph while GP was at work, it looks like Dez loves Steph's house and is doing just fine!   

Just Dez

Dez loves the Manhattan Beach Country Club . . .

they make the cutest hats!

Dez says "What?"

Who knew cellulite could be found on knees?  Break me off a piece of those chunky thighs!

our little angel passed out on the couch- i love the way he has one hand behind his head and his feet crossed at the ankles . . .

Paul teaching Dez how to skateboard.  It's never too early . . .

this is what happens when i leave my boys alone . . .

Focus Dez!

NEW FAMILY CAR

New baby, time for a new car.  I sold my beloved Midnight Blue Jeep Wrangler and bought a family car- a black XC 90 Volvo.  

Dez chillin with the wrangler.

GP crying after she sold the wrangler.  Bought it in 2000 for $12,000; sold it in 2010 for $4,500.

The Millers in front of their new family car!

Xmas Pics

We had a wonderful first christmas.  Spent Xmas eve at the Pulham's and xmas day at our house. 

dez is such a biggin (he weighs more than 90% of the infants his age!).

Xmas morning opening his first xmas gift.

I went back to work last week.  while i was busy worrying about how dez was getting along without me, dez was having a ball (thx steph for this great pic):

Pre-Holidays

Some cute pics of dez- the first was taken during one of his teradactyl (sp) noises.  the second is one of my favorites.

Most of you know that I attempted to knit Dez some booties while i was pregnant.  seemed to be the right pregnancy thing to do.  well, one of the booties ended up an entire size larger than the other, but you would never guess . . .

Dez kicked off the xmas holidays by attending his (and his mom's) first cookie exchange!  Thanks Katie- super fun.  Dez loved all the lady attention . . .

We were fortunate to get a cabin in Mammoth at the Tamarack Lodge Resort.  Spent the days skiing, skate skiing, snow shoeing, and enjoying the clean mountain air as well as some much needed R&R.GP came back to the cabin to find her 2 guys snoring away . . .

Dez loving Mammoth breakfasts, second to his father's egg scramble!

Dez in route to the cabin!

A beer is a perfect ending to a wonderful long day in the mountains; i think Dez agrees!

Yes, we are those awful parents who love to dress their kids in the most ridiculous accessories.  Doesn't Dez look cute . . .

Saving this picture for his first date!

First Bank Account & great pics

Dez has received several checks so we decided to open a bank account for him.  Note the "i'm in the money" smirk on Dez' face!

Still at Wellsfargo . . . Dez loves to chew on the french teething toy "Sofie le giraffe"

Dez loves his cousins Ali & Kat and is lucky to spend his days M-F playing with the girls & being loved by tia steph.  Here is a picture of Dez around 1.5 months being held by Ali . . .

a great pic of dez and his chins . . .

t-day in Phx

Dez loving up Grandma Mimi

We were fortunate to be able to have a second thanksgiving with the Millers/Boylan bunch in Phoenix.  We are so thankful to have wonderful family and be surrounded by love-

Dez & Nina Ann- can't decide who is happier to be with the other!

Dez thanking Aunt Judy for the gorgeous jewelry his mom wears!

Chris & Sue- so goodlookin!

Cousin Steve- your'e a natural!

t-day chez nous

We had a wonderful thanksgiving at our house.  The Pulhams, Jacobos and Garcias came to celebrate Dez' 1st t-day.  Tio made his delicious ceasar salad and steph made tasty bread and Im sure the Jacobos made something delish but it has been so long that I can't remember.  What i do remember is that we had a great time and Dez was his charming self.
