The Loco Lopez Family: It's a New Dawn, It's a New Day, It's a New Life ...

New Years 2010 promises to bring continued fun and love and happiness!!! I have made a resolution to post at least one picture a day. These babies of mine are growing so fast and it's killing me. Andy and I were talking last night and we both realize that we don't remember Lucie crawling. Sure we have pictures, but I have no honest to goodness memory of it. KILLS me! I want to be able to look back and really see what we were up to everyday, not just the special times.

The holiday's were a so much fun this year with the girls (check out my pics on Facebook). All three girls were spoiled rotten and it was so fun doing Santa with them. The girls and I have been going to a new church that we ALL love and this season's Christmas was made even more special by the fact that we could talk about the fact that Christmas means so much more than presents. We did things a little different this year and stayed home on Christmas Eve night. It was heartbreaking spending my first Christmas morning without my parents, but SO nice starting our own new traditions.

Rylie arrived a few days after Christmas - man she's getting so big. I still can not believe she's 7 years old. The girls all played really great together for the most part. Lennon still has a hard time not being the boss, but she's able to communicate a little better now and she and Rylie tended to shut Lucie out. Which was A-Okay with me. Lucie was so sick the week after Christmas and after she got pick eye she and I quarantined ourselves in my room. I LOVED it! Then she kept getting worse and I ended up taking her to the ER on New Years day. Pneumonia and a double ear infection later and she still only wanted me to hold her. So Andy had to keep the other girls entertained. He did pretty dang good if I say so my self :).

This year Andy and I are on a money saving mission. We want to buy a house in Highland Village in the Summer of 2011 when Lennon goes to kindergarten. We want to put a big fat down payment down so time to tighten up the purse strings.

So here's to a another New Year! I am looking forward to growing in my faith, my marriage, my motherhood, my everything this year.

These pics are backwards ... but the first is where I'm starting with my pic a day :)

The girls on our typical Saturday mornings. Eating eggs and ketchup (gag) and biscuits. Don't you wear ballet dresses and mermaid dresses to breakfast?

Our neighbors came over last night. For the first time ever Lennon didn't act like a freakazoid, hanging on my leg or grunting instead of talking. She actually bossed everyone around. They played dress up and fashion show and house for a few hours. SO FREAKING CUTE!!!

Last week Andy and I hung out at the Texan and watched the Cowboy's game with some of my clients that were in town. They had a "Butt Sketch Artist" and I got - ah hem ... my butt sketched. I kept thinking that someday my grandchildren are going to see this and think "oh Lord that's Grandma Candy's butt"!
