Goodbye 2021 and welcome 2022. We are ending this year sick, possibly COVID sick. We had family over for Christmas and somehow most of us ended up sick. Ricky and I took the kids to get tested early this morning in Fontana. How early? we woke up at 5 and were out of the house by 5:30, we got to Kaiser by 6:30 and the line was already insane. After two hours we finally tested and left. Now to wait, since we are in quarantine I am cooking New Years Eve dinner. I've tried looking everywhere for new years decorations but everything's sold out. Trying to make this day memorable for the boys last minute is not easy. Ok so update time....
Damian, he turned 14 this year. His voice has deepened and he is so much taller now. He is in the 8th grade, his last year at Vanguard. We are so excited to watch him grow and mature. He's so handsome and smart. He played soccer this year and of course football. Grades are really good and he's still being an awesome big brother. He loves playing xbox and friends. H walks around the house with an airpod in his ear and a smile on his face. His favorite food is pizza or teriyaki bowls and has a new love of spicy food.
Julian is now 12, he's still super silly and always bugging his brothers. He is in the 6th grade and loves hanging out with his friends. He is so handsome and he knows it, as do all the girls that come across him. He also played soccer this year as well as his favorite football. His favorite food is seafood and wings. He is doing really well in school his grades are up and we are so proud of him.
Jacob is 11 and growing. He is super smart and so sweet. He loves reading and spending family time. He is in the 5th grade and his teacher referred to him as her "class ambassador" I can totally see that he is a leader for sure. Jacob played soccer and football and also enjoys xbox time. He got a hoverboard and no longer walks anywhere lol. Even to take the trash out he's on that thing. His favorite food is enchiladas.
Mason is 6, he is so smart and big. He loves making friends and running around. This year he is in 1st grade and played soccer and did his first year of football and loved it. Mason is always smiling he's the first one to laugh at anything silly. He's got these big chunky cheeks that are adorable. His favorite food is pizza, rice and mac and cheese. His favorite color is red and he is learning how to read. He excels at math.
Lincoln, Lincoln our little baby. He turned 5 this year and gained his voice for sure. We absolutely love hearing how well he can express himself. He is in kindergarten and his teacher said he should be reading in no time. I am not surprised. He is so outspoken. This year he asked for a bottle, yes a baby bottle and while at first we were against it after a month of him asking for it I gave in. did he look ridiculous? probably. Would I do it again? yes! in a heartbeat. He literally only used it for like 2 days and it was only filled with water. Lincoln's favorite color is blue and his favorite food is cake pops (starbucks) and "real seafood" basically a shrimp Cajun boil.
As for Ricky, he is still working his butt off. He loves off-roading and hanging out at home. I start work in two weeks and I'm bummed, I usually only work 4 months out of the year so it's not hard, but I miss being home. We moved into his parents house on Tonawanda Rd in Apple Valley. This house was a huge fixer upper. We spent so much time remodeling what was originally seen as a quick project. It turned into a complete gut out in the kitchen and bathrooms, I mean countertops and closets baseboards. Flooring throughout the house knocking out a bookcase in Damián's room. Let's just say I would never want to do that again. We spent our summer having so much fun with friends then got back to real life, school and sports. Our days were long our nights sometimes longer. We loved being busy and then we were tired. With sports finally over and holidays coming we were so ready for a break, a slow down of time that winter time usually brings. We took family pics, and omg I love them, I'll post more at the bottom. Thanksgiving was held at our house and all of my side of the family came except for my Dad he hurt his back. We had so much fun playing games and hanging out, making food. Until Ricky felt sick, dang it. Long story short we are waiting for results counting down the time to midnight to ring in the new year. See ya next year friends.
