Much Needed Family Pictures

Our family as of October 2012 down by the Platte River near Brighton. We are so blessed to have such amazing children. Kusko (who just keeps on living!) was even able to make the photo shoot.

1st Rosas Family Christmas Card (EVER)

I know, I know...some may be wondering where the heck we've been lately...well, you will soon find out. But here's a little preview of what has changed (mainly the kids are growing up too fast).
I made our first Christmas card, I guess some things do take 6 years to get around to.

Rosas Family Thanksgiving Dinner 2012





We have truly been blessed and are grateful for the family that we have! It's really starting to grow with the addition of Tyler and Greyson this last year. Our house was very full and unfortunately we weren't all able to eat in the same room anymore, but it was still the best Thanksgiving yet (just look at Milton reading a book)!

It has become a tradition to go against traditions when we have Thanksgiving with the Rosas'.  None of us are huge on the turkey or ham so we decided to go with Mexican food instead.

One tradition we have started is eating at a mexican buffet the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I don't know why it's so hard to come by mexican buffets...maybe that will be one of our business ventures in the future.

The Entire Rosas Family - More Much Needed Pics!

Other than for weddings the Rosas family has never had professional pictures (at least not during the time that Milton and I have been married).  We were finally able to manage to get everyone together, despite work schedules and all living in 3 different states.

 

 Eric, Vanina & Tyler

 Elton and his fiance Jeannie

 Gerson, Heidi & Greyson

 You can tell they truly love eachother.  I am so grateful that we had such good examples of marriage and working together for the eternity!

Monte Vista Thanksgiving Dinner

When we moved to Northglenn this past May we decided to start attending the Spanish Ward again. No ward can ever throw parties like the Spanish wards! The food and attendance just can't be beat.

Even though the Spanish ward can be difficult for me in particular (mainly just me communicating) the kids have blended right in.  Ayla actually wants to go to nursery!

Plus, she loves to dance and at every party there is always music and dancing.

November 2012

Customize a free digital collage The middle of November we started watching cousin Greyson Mon-Fri.  Ayla was estatic and in heaven holding him.  I was a bit nervous because this was going to be the real test on what it's like to have 3 kids (we will see if we make it to our original plan of 4). It's been a challenge in the sense that I loved having my freedom of older kids and now we are back on a newborn schedule, but we do love the little guy. At least it was good timing right when winter is setting in and we aren't going out much anyway.  The real challenge will come next summer when Greyson is mobile and we are attempting all of our summer activities.  I will say that I'm not above getting leashes for these guys (especially Ahrian).   Tio Elton has been living with us since July and the kids have loved it.  We are surely going to miss him come February after he gets married and moves to Las Vegas.   I can't believe that Ayla's hair is nearly to her bum.  I remember dreaming as a little girl of having such gorgeous locks. Ayla was such a good actor when I tried to get her to re-enact the girl from The Ring.    

More Water Toys!

Another free digital invite by Smilebox One November afternoon I hear a lot of noise outside.  I look out to see that a semi had backed itself in front of our house and was unloading a huge crate.  I figured it was something of Elton's and didn't pay much mind.  However, I was informed that it was a water trampoline that Milton and Elton had ordered.  I knew Milton had really wanted one months ago but I thought that the idea had finally died. Well, here it is...our new water trampoline with launcher. What can I say, other than next summer is truly going to be a blast!!!
