the Jaime's: August 2010

Flock of Mi-gulls

Mia, Flock of Seagulls, Mia, Flock of Seagulls...Ok, so, maybe the aftermath of piggy tails is not good, but, is it really that bad?

Tribute to the Jaime's!

Introducing the newest addition to the fam, baby Carmen! Congratulations Missy and Jeff! She is gorgeous!

Grandma Darlene at MCH's Mother's Day Tea... with a few extra's!

Here is our super fine family at the Martinez's 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Super sweet Aunt Drea! (Notice Eric cleaning in the background:))

Here is a picture of Elijah successfully playing tennis. Last summer, he would go to hit the tennis ball with his racket, then immediately drop the racket and run... like, this is not baseball son! This year he is doing great, just has a hard time conrolling himself, he does not focus on the player across the net or the net itself, his focus is on attempting to hit the ball across the cement wall behind his opponent, each and every time.

Perma knee scrapes: So, notice the scrape on the right knee, we literally walked back across the tridge, she fell and scraped the other. Not once this summer have both knees been healed at the same time! And the minute they begin to, she digs at the wound to create another, deeper wound, leaving scab traces near her carseat, bedside, and any other spot she chooses to sit in more than 2 minutes to dig in. It is completely disguisting and repulsive. She is addicted to her "boe boe's".

Lucas can't just enjoy the water, he has to experience the water from it's originating source, right as it sprays out of the hole. Oh, that boy and holes... someone help me.

Beachin' it!

Ok, so we love the beach, and anyone who has seen us this summer has noticed that our skin is now looking like we actually belong with the "baby daddy". "Who?" you ask, "the baby daddy?", well, once you scroll through these pictures, it is evident, who that just might be, seeing the "baby momma" clearly is the ONLY one who ever takes the pictures. No people, I am not that insecure with myself... anyone who knows me well enough wouldn't be mistaken, I just take ALL the pictures, ALL the time, until the few times, I sit and think, "Geez, golly, I haven't been in one freakin' shot of my family!" Love ya big daddy!

Family History

So, this summer I have had the most overwhelming feelings of getting in touch with my family history... for now, it is just back to my Great-Grandparents...and my goal, with much help from my parents and in-laws, is to compile pictures of all my family back to my Great-Grandparents and Eric's, of each of them in their prime. Here is a sneak-peak at my gorgeous genes... I don't have any of Eric's families yet...
