Photo Dump

Aberly and Ryan wanted to dress up as Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle. So, we let them... and we took them to Best Buy like this. Ryan fell asleep on the way home, so Aberly stole his hat. Typical day in the Lobato household.


Jack is all smiles.


Ryan trying to steal Mr. Aaron's new hat.


Ryan giving Jack a piggy back ride. (He thought this was GREAT!)


Swimming with Papi, it's becoming a regular habit.

Introducing....

JACK!!!!

Okay, so it has taken me awhile to blog about our newest addition. (Blame Ryan, I told him to do it, but he was too busy updating facebook.)

So, here we go...

Weighing in at 8 lbs, 1 oz. and measuring 20 inches long. John Robert Lobato, from here on out referred to as "Jack", was born on May 14th at 9:14 am. We are now home and settling in. Aberly is in love with "the baby" and Ryan P wants to hold him constantly... so lets hope things continue to go well once the new wears off.

Without further delay, here are some photos of our newest little man....


"Hello World"



Mom, Dad, Jack and our midwife, Leanna.

Happy Birthday to Me

We have no pictures to post because, well, we don't take pictures of me. But never-the-less, it has been a great birthday so far.

btw... as of now, I am still pregnant... Now THAT would be a great birthday present!!!

Zoo Time with Dad

Took the little ones to the zoo this weekend so Amy could get a little extra sleep. Ok...I'm not really that nice. Real reason: this week was the Dinosaur Exhibit!!!



I'm not sure the kids were as into it as I was...



So instead I let them climb on the statues...



...and play in the playground...



...and go down the dangerously big slide...



But since that was a good bit of work, the kids needed to cool off:



After a long day, the boy had had enough...



The girl? Not so much...

Papi Time

We spent a little quality time with Papi.... Someone needs to learn not to give that girl wooden spoons. :)

Kids Museum

A few weeks ago we drove to a little childrens museum out in the middle on nowhere. The kids had a blast.

They flew a plane of two...



pretended to be Uncle Rob and Aunt Ashley, dug for fossils...


and did a little shopping.


There were many other things to do... But like the great parents we are, we forgot to charge the camera before leaving... and had exactly 7 minutes worth of battery when we arrived. :)
We rock!

What happens when...

... your daughter rubs doritos all over her face.


or
... your daughter dumps an open bottle of shampoo into the bath tub.

Still Pregnant

... Just in case anyone was wondering.

(Of course, this means I am too tired to blog... excuses, excuses. I will try to update pics before the end of the week.)

Mr. No-Nap

First, a little background information:

Our son doesn't take naps. He hasn't for about 2 years now. He absolutely refuses to take naps and gets upset if you even imply that he should take one.

Here's the rub:

Because he doesn't take naps he typically falls asleep immediately if you can somehow force him to be still. Our secret weapon? The car seat. It's sort of an irresistible force meets an immovable object kind of thing.

With that setup, here's our little documentary...

Medieval Fair

The family headed out on a mini-vacation... to the Medieval fair.
(Just between us, this was nothing compare to Ren-Fair in Texas... but honestly what can compare when you're talking Texas) :) However, it was a really good day.


We met a bear (okay a guy in a bear costume... but he was really realistic... I can't believe we didn't get a shot of the bear.)



We watched some jousting and sword fighting, tried on a few hats, had some turkey legs and tons of other exciting things. Ryan P had a blast.

Knife Throwing

Ryan tried his hand at a little knife throwing.


Turns out... he is pretty good. Hit the target dead on... and got this little certificate to prove it. Good job honeys!!!
