Christmas Day

The boys enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. Going to look at Christmas Lights, listening to Christmas music, going shopping for presents, baking cookies, bust most importantly remembering the true meaning of Christmas. The birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. The greatest gift of all!





Oh how they couldn't wait for Santa to come and leave their presents under the tree.




Caleb and Noah got scooters

Chris got an Alabama wallet and watch. His favorite college football team. Roll Tide Roll!

This little guy just happy to be with Daddy

Santa didn't leave him much. He must have been a bad boy. Oh well maybe next year!

Then it was over to Natalie's house for some homemade cinnamon rolls and more presents. The cinnamon rolls were the best I've ever had! Go Nanny!! Here's the cousins together.

Oh Nanny thought he was a good boy.

He sure loved the wrapping paper.

Mommy and Henry by the tree

Lastly is was off to Mama's house for Christmas Dinner. Kenzie was looking extra special!
It's sad how it's over so fast after all the preparation. Then it's time to clean up the mess from opened presents and time to take the decorations and tree down. No more Christmas songs on the radio! Whaa, whaa, whaa. Oh well, I'm over it.

Our Clock

My talented sister Lindsay made this lovely clock for us. I absolutely love it!

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.
