Loving life!

After school is always nice to spend a little bit of time with Luke and Sam. I love playing with my boys!

Luke building a wall! He loves building stuff

Seriously Sam is a happy boy.

Luke loves roller coasters, we kept playing this for half hour! I was tired!

I wish I could take credit for this, but all goes to Emily, our artist!

This week has been pretty busy at school, but I'm glad that I have an amazing wife that teaches me how to make awesome dinners. This is the recipe of an easy and soooo delicious. I guess I'll spread the love.

Ingredients:
I large frying chicken (at least 3 lbs)
2 Tb minced garlic (Use less with fresh garlic)
2 Tb dried parsley
2 Tb dried oregano
2 Tb salt (I don't think it needs this much salt, WE ONLY USE 3/4 of a Tbs)
1/2 c cooking oil
Pepper to taste

Wash whole chicken and dry welll inside and out with paper towel. Mix all spices and oil together and spread over chicken in side and out. Bake at 400 for 1 hour, basting frequently(we do it every 15 min). Serve over rice. Serve juice from pan over rice.

Seriously it's so good!

Quick update

Luke has decided to wake up at 3 am to check up on us..... it drives me crazy. He did it like 4 times last week. The worst part is that he wants to watch "Go Diego go" and trust me, it is not exactly what I want to do at 3 am in the morning. On top of everything I wake up with this huge headache and then have to go to go school from 8 am to 4 pm and come home and study some more..... This routine is already wearing on me. Hopefully Luke will go back to his old routine. Needless to say I still love him very much!

Dental school is going great, I think this semester seems that is going to be a bit easier than last one. Now we are drilling on teeth and all that dentistry stuff. This is my first dental cast, I think it looks pretty good. My first try I was too slow that the alginate set before getting the typodont impression, live and learn right?

We got a Book of Mormon for Luke and he loves it! Sorry that the volume on the video is bad. Now that he knows the alphabet he loves to point out his favorite letters. He pretends he can read, it is very cute. He is growing so fast and finally he's fully potty trained except for naps and at night.

The sound is super bad, so you might need to turn up your speakers.

Not only is he getting up early, but he wants to start shaving!

Oh and I almost forgot to mention that Sam is getting his first mandibular tooth! Crazy he's only 3 months!

Pictures for the grandmas!

It really stinks not having family around, especially when I don't have school. Anyway we'll survive I'm sure and here are some pictures of Luke and Sam.

He is always smiling. We have a very happy boy.

2nd semester has started and I have developed the gift to fall asleep within 5 min!

It's hard to take a picture of both of them smiling,

Sam will survive.

Sam the Lamb

So I made a lamb costume for Sam for Halloween. Even though it was in a newborn size, it was ginormous on his little 5lb. body. He did wear the hat and pants for Halloween but the shirt swallowed him whole! We we re a little preoccupied and didn't get adequate pictures of the event. So a few weeks ago, I did a little photo shoot so that we could remember his sweet little costume. He wasn't very happy to have the costume on then or now. I guess it wasn't very comfortable.

King of the bed!

Sweet little tail!

I love the ears!

Here are some pictures of Sam from today! My mom wanted to know what he looks like now so here he is! He is a cutie and loves to smile! He also coos and talks to us a ton! We are still waiting for a giggle, but it is sure to come soon. and Yes, his eyes are still blue. :) We are so proud. haha

I cut Luke's hair

My sister in law Sarah showed me how to cut Luke's hair so I did it! I think he looks very handsome. I can't believe how fast this little guy is growing. Today as he was walking  home with Emily from play group Luke noticed the letters that labeled each of the carports, so he starting saying "A e e i i a b" meaning the alphabet. Then he noticed the stop sign had letter on it, then he noticed that all the cars have letters on the license plates; he was so excited to see that letters are everywhere. 

Just like papi he wanted to have gel on his hair. 

Not a great pic, but he is smiling...

                              

Ohh have we mentioned that Sam has a dimple in his right cheek just like mami. It is so cute. 

The Park

Luke loves the park and I love seeing his beautiful smiling face. He is so brave and fearless.... 

Enjoy winter weather in Dallas (We couldn't believe that it is so warm 76°)

Mi preciosa

I guess Sam didn't like the park so much

Gotta love his funny expressions

Mis amores!

Luke making fun of papi. I pretended to be stuck.
