HAPPY Belated HALLOWEEN!!

We have enjoyed the fall... Andres loves to walk and play in the leaves and feel them crunch under his feet. He had so much fun the day I tried to take pictures of him he wouldn't even look at the camera.....Andres was an adorable bat for Halloween. We went to Aunt Gloria's for a party and to pass out candy. Grandma and Grandpa "Great" Richards were there and Grandma Sheryl. We ate chips and salsa, rice crispy bats and carmel apples. yummy it was so much fun! Felito dressed up as a robot James Brown mixing his costumes from the last two years and I was Marsha from the Brady Bunch, Gloria was a Sugar Daddy and Grandpa "Great" dressed up as a baby. We took Andres trick-0r-treating around the block he was so stinkin' cute. He loved to grab the candy out of the bowls and chew on the wrapers. It was so cute at one house the lady held the bowl out so long that Andres filled both hands....turned and sat his candy down on the frount porch and reached for some more....he is our little pig! We ran into Heather (Merrill) and Cory Pence and their two beautiful witches they were sooooo CUTE! Heather was a cat and Cory was the cauldron....so fun! We also ran into our Dominican friend Osfaldo and his wife Claudia we hung out out her moms place and visited. Then we went up to Denalee and Jon's house to see the kids.... they gave us a candy apple that was to die for!! Yummy... Halloween was a BLAST having Andres makes all of lives moments so much better. Hope you had a great Halloween!!

We are building our House!!

Felito and I are building a house in Smithfield. We are building with a group called Neighborhood non-profit, it has been so much fun. We have framed 4 and 1/2 houses so far we only have to frame 6 of 12 so hopefully we will be working on the inside of the houses before the snow falls. (I will probably ginks us by saying that.) We started framing on our home last Saturday (the 4th home) and finished up today so it took us 8 days to frame. We will hopefully be getting our trusses put up early this next week. It is amazing to see our home take form and to be the one to build it is awsome....We will be doing all of the finishing work on all 12 of the homes....we have really enjoyed getting to know and working with our future neighbors we are becoming really good friends.... It is a lot of really hard work so after working all evening both Felito and I go to the Sports Academy and sit in the sauna room or jet tub......that is now my favorite thing to do. Andres is getting so big he is now 1 year and 2 1/2 months old he is all over the place, it is crazy how fast time is fling I can't wait until we get into our home and he will have a yard to play in.... IT WILL BE SO FUN!!

Wow what a week!!

We have had a fabulious week!! On Tuesday, November 17, my little sister Toni gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He was 7 pds 6 oz and has dirty blond hair and blue eyes. I can't believe the day has fineally arrived and passed. It seems so weird that we have met the "little man" already after a very long 9 months of waiting. Toni and Tory are doing really well, Tory more than Toni of course because after tring for 16 hours to have the little guy she had to go and have a c-section. She did really well of course, she is a trooper. Congratulations guys.....He is an Angel from heaven!!! We spent three days up at the hospital holding squizzing and kissing our "little man" his hands and feet are so tiny and wrinkly he is truely precious. The first thing I though when I saw him was he has Toni's nose.....it was so fun to see how much he looks like her. Simply ADORABLE!!!
