Sydney is 3

This is the month of Birthday's for us. Sydney also celebrated her birthday. It was on the 18th of April. We had 3 of her friends over one afternoon and they all played while the moms all sat around a visited. It was great!

Here is a picture of Sydney blowing out the candles on her ICECREAM CAKE!!! Can you say yummy!!! And here is a picture of Sydney's God Parents, Fran and Jose Vasquez. They came over the evening of her birthday. She is always excited to see them.

I thought this was a good close up of Jose and Sydney. And she is wearing a Repunzel dress that they got for her. She wears it almost every day. She loves anything that involves princes'.

And here is a good picture of her and Patrick. She is getting so big!!!

3 years sure have gone by fast. We are excited to see what this little princess of ours has coming in her future!!!

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara

Isaac is 5

Well, on April 6th, Isaac turned 5. It is so hard to believe that 5 is even possible but apparently it is! And I do have to say, that with Abram's birth I got a little behind and almost forgot about having a party with his class. And then some how I still managed to forget to send out half of the invitations! Needless to say, there was a little lack of sleep for Patrick and I. But, we managed to somehow have a great party and he had a great time!

Here is a picture of Isaac when we got home from his party. And yes, he wore batman pj's to sleep in as a new 5 year old. We had his party at a local bounce house and he had a great time. So did we, because we didn't have to set anything up or clean anything up!

And Sydney even had a great time in all of the bounce houses.

And here Isaac is at the top of on of the large slides.

And the following is a shot of Isaac and his classmates (along with his sisters!)

This was the first time we haven't a birthday party at our home. And I do have to say that it was nice not having to get everything ready and clean up. Overall it was a great party and Isaac had a great time. Even the parents jumped in the bounce houses!

Abram's Baptism

Abram was baptized on Palm Sunday. It was such a nice day and we are so pleased that Tony and Erin Donatelli accepted the offer of being his God-Parents. They are such an amazing Christian couple. We feel very blessed to have them as part of our family!!!

The following is a group shot of their family along with ours. This picture makes me laugh because if you look at the faces on our kids, they don't look all that happy. I guess they just aren't as excited as we were. (Actually, as I think about it, they were upset because I took the palms leaves that they were playing with away so we could take pictures.)

Jordan, with the palm leaves!

And a cute shot of Sydney!

I had trouble getting Isaac to look at me to take a picture so this is as good as it gets. He was too busy playing with the palm leaves also.
And now a few family shots. Gene and Julia were here for the baptism so that made it even more special.

These are Abram's God Parents - Tony and Erin Donatelli

The following are a few pictures taken during the baptism.

It was such a nice day and after we got home Abram slept most of the afternoon. I guess it was a lot of work for our little guy. It was a great day and we continue to see blessing everywhere around us! Thank You Lord!!!

Nana and Pape

Gene and Julia came to visit us at the beginning of April and we had a great time with them here. Things have been a little crazy around here and I am finally getting around to posting some pictures of their trip here.

Here is a picture of Gene reading to the kids. Before the book was over, Sydney was on his shoulders :) Here is a good shot of Sydney and Gene. We made a special trip to Amish country and it was a nice chance to get out of the house.

And here are Gene and Abram.

And Julia and Abram

It was a nice having them here and it is always hard to see our family head back to Texas. Thanks for a great trip Gene and Julia.

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.

Time with Grandma and Papa

My parents are in town and we are all having a great time. So, here are a few pictures of what we have been doing for the past couple of days.

As most of you know, my dad loves anything Harley Davidson. So, this afternoon we went to a local Harley dealership shop that has a restaurant in it and had lunch. The kids and PAPA had a blast. Here are a few pictures of the kids riding a small play motorcycle. And here is my dad getting some quality time with Abram.

And Papa with Isaac

And Jordan has been in heaven since Grandma and Papa got here. The following is a shot of my mom and Jordan together.

Papa with Sydney

And Grandma with Abram

And Finally, a group shot of all of them. And yes, we need to get my mom a new grandma shirt. She is now a Grandma of 4 but still wears her Grandma of 3 shirt!!! I have been trying to figure out which one she isn't claiming when she wears the shirt????

And a picture of Grandma and Papa with their newest grandchild. Abram still sleeps a lot if you haven't already noticed.

We still have another week to enjoy our company and I have to say that they are making things a lot easier for me. The kids have extra people to play with and I am getting a little extra sleep during the day!!!

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara

Abram

Well, Abram is now a week old and I have been trying to get pictures posted for the last few days. So I am finally getting them on here and I wanted to share them with all of you! So here we go.

Here he is. Sleeping is something he does very well. (At least during the daytime!) And yes, he does have hands, they are just hidden inside of his shirt in the following picture. :)

And here is a shot I caught of Patrick and Abram this afternoon taking a little snooze. As you can see, he is still a little jaundice. Especially when you compare his color to the rest of us! But it is getting better every day.

And here is a close-up of our newest edition. We have been so blessed and we are enjoying every minute of it.

So, we are now a family of 6! Yes, there are 6 of us and everyone seems to be adjusting well. We will continue to keep everyone posted on any new happenings.

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.

Abram is here!!!

Well, Abram Patrick Gallegos arrived March 13th, 2011, at 6:36 pm. He weighs 7 pounds and 11 ounces and is 21 3/4 inches long. He is doing great and so are Patrick and I. We will have pictures up soon!!!

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara

First Reconciliation

This morning Jordan celebrated her First Reconciliation. We are all very proud of her. I have to say, she was very excited. It is always exciting to see kids excited about God (especially when the are yours.)

We got a few family pictures this morning and wanted to share them with all of you!
A few pictures of Jordan, Isaac and Sydney.

And her a a few solo shots of Jordan

And finally a couple family shots.

I am still amazed at how big the kids are getting. And before we know it there will be a fourth Gallegos kid running around and stirring up trouble! O' how interesting things will be in just a matter of months. Honestly, we can't wait. It is going to be fun.

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.

Nails and Gingerbread People

While Jordan was on Christmas break we had a great time. It is always fun to have all 3 kids in the house playing and fighting together!! :) And one of Sydney's obsessions is her nails. She LOVES to have her nails painted. And lucky for me, Jordan enjoys painting her own nails and Sydney's also. So, I caught a few pictures of the two of them spending some quality Christmas Break time together!

Jordan better watch out, or Sydney will have her painting them every day. It is fun to watch them spend time together and enjoy each other's company.

We also made Gingerbread Men/Women that day. As many of you know, anything that involves cookies or candy is on the top of my kids list of things to do!!!
Jordan already eating one of her's.

Isaac with his decorated cookies.

Sydney showing off her work.

Overall it was a great Christmas break and we all had a great time together. I can't believe it went by so fast. We were very blessed this Christmas and we continue to recognize all the blessings that a little baby in a manger gave us so many years ago. We hope all of you had a great Christmas Season. Love You and God Bless, Tara G.
