Happy 5th Birthday Hunter!!!

Yesterday was our friend's son's birthday. He is a big 5 now!!! The boys had a blast playing video games and bowling. Never a dully moment with 7 boys all asking for tokens to play games. We loved every minute!!!

Nap time

Alexander was so tired today at the karate tournament that he actually napped on the bleachers!

Ikea with my bestie

Lori and I had our annual Ikea meeting yesterday...totally fun and never boring! We invited Kelly to go along with us which made the trip even more exciting. Live time with my girls, that's for sure!!!

Karate Debut

Alexander did his form last Friday for the first time in public at a soccer awards ceremony. Was it a tad rusty? Sure! But, for a four year old to not only speak Japanese out loud and understand it, he did that form pretty darn good and on stage in our church in front of about 150 people. I say he earned a spot on the competition team for that!

Saturday Night Fun

Yes, that's Ricardo molding something from Playdough! If you've never played it, go get the game Partini. Seriously, it's the most fun game ever. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. I mean, at one point our friend Eric actually laughed so hard he snorted cheesecake out of his nose!!! Great food, great friends, great fun!

Thanks to our friend Eli, Ricardo and I have been reading a book called "The People Code". I highly recommend the book for a lot of reasons but the main reason being it really helps you identify personality traits and how to deal with them. I’m a Red…even if you don’t know what that means, those you know me probably aren’t surprised by the color. Anyway, given my red color, I’ve been a bit validated by the read and feel even better about who I am and the personality I’ve been given. That’s not to say I don’t believe I have work to do because I truly think I do but overall I am quite comfortable with who I am. I found this quote today on Pinterest and I love it because it really speaks to me at this point in my life.

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

E. E. Cummings (American poet 1894-1962)

Alexander and his kindle

I had to take this picture of Alexander playing his Kindle. He looked so sweet laying there!

He loves his new Kindle from his P and Grammy. If you have kids don't waste your money on any other tablet because this one is great for kids. No, it's not an iPad but for $200 less, it will certainly do the trick. I'd recommend getting an Amazon account if you don't have one and paying the $4.99 lifetime Kindle Free Time subscription. Totally worth it!

Another day of sledding

We headed out to our friend Eli's moms today to sled and four wheel. The hill we ended on is called Demon Drop and I can tell you it's huge and slightly scary! So fun to hang out with our pals today. We love them and are so thankful for their friendship.

Happy 2013

We started off New Years Eve with sledding and ended it with lots of yummy food, drinks, and great friends. We headed to our good friend's house last night to hang out and ring in the new year. We played a few games, ate entirely too much food, and finally made it home about 1:30am. Never a dull moment for the Guerreros! And, never a day should pass that we don't remember how truly blessed we are by good friends and good health. We have a healthy and active son, a good marriage, super great friends, blessings of family, and a God that is always good! Happy New Year everyone!

 My cousin' s friend took pics at our family Christmas a couple of weeks ago. We had to have fun with some of the poses!

Oh what fun it is to ride....

Went sledding today at our friend's house. Can you tell how huge the hill is??? Alexander had a blast and said it was the best day ever!

Blizzard 2012

In case you didn't know Indy had a blizzard go through early this morning...9 inches of snow folks! Note-Ricardo is not actually outside. He reversed his camera and acted as if he was outside...no, he's standing on the porch.

Christmas Day 2012

Santa was extremely kind to Alexander and brought him the drum set he wanted so badly. We had a great morning at home with just the three of us and then headed to mom and Steve's about 9:30 to hang out with the fam for the rest of the day. We had a great day and once again we are reminded of how blessed we are!
