Natalie and Brooklyn. Disneyland is so busy this time of year. We weren't able to do much. That is why an annual pass is a must.

Photo Shoot

My dear sister Lindsay took us out to take our family pictures. Thanks Lindsay, we needed new pictures of our growing family.


I love my boys

More pics. from Katie's Wedding

Katie and Colby

What a busy weekend we had. My sister Katie got married on Saturday. I played the piano at the ceremony. Katie looked gorgeous. Kenzie was her bridesmaid and she looked beautiful. Family came down for the occasion who we were so happy to see and spent time with.

Here they are at their open house which was decorated beautifully by Lindsay, Mark, Natalie and my dad. These were the only pictures I took. In all the commotion I forgot to charge the battery on my camera. So sad and the boys looked so cute I wanted to get a picture of them. We had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends that we don't get to see often. The boys had a blast running around with their cousins and friends.

Now there is just 1 Castaneda girl left. Our dear little sister Kenzie who is only 13 thank goodness.

So here they are Colby and Katie Clonts. Congratulations, We love you and wish you the best!!

What we've been up to

I haven't updated our blog in over a month. November was a bad month for us except for our anniversary. We all had the swine flu. Starting with myself then Noah and Caleb. Following right along was Chris and then our poor baby Henry. It was very scary! We missed Thanksgiving in Arizona. It was a rough time but we got through it and we are all just fine.

We put up our Christmas Tree. It's pretty bald, we could use a new one. Maybe after Christmas we can find a good deal on a new one.

The boys helped hang the ornaments. They were so excited!

This little boy is getting bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier

We love him dearly.

Our 9th Anniversary

Here we are 9 years ago outside the Los Angeles LDS Temple. It was so freezing that day. I loved this guy back then and I love him even more today.

What a year!! It seems like yesterday that I was posting our 8th anniversary and now it is our 9th. I was terribly sick with the flu this last week. I'm glad that is over and all is well.

Here we are after being married for 9 years. We've put some weight on over the years. But still look pretty good.

We celebrated at Disneyland. Here is Henry on the Monorail for the first time.

Henry had fallen asleep but then I peeked in to find this. That was quick. His cheeks look like they're about to pop!

We ate at the same place as last year the Blue Bayou. I just love it there. They even brought out some chocolate mousse after our dinner.

Caleb got on Space Mountain twice, first with Chris and then with me. Then we all went on Buzz Lightyear for Noah. Then back on the Monorail and home we went. We had a good time and I hope for many more happy anniversaries!
