The Rios Boys

Finally got a picture of Thunder with Santa, and Joaquin too!

I think he's saying "I didn't do it Momma"

Thunder loves his baby brother soo much!!!

He's either saying "Look at what I can do, or this is all mine!!!"

My babies one morning very early! As you can tell Joaquin was sick and not feeling good at all!

Halloween 2010

My superhero babies!!!

Soccer Season

Hello everyone! I know I am the world's worst blogger. Since my last post we've been busy. We made it through our first soccer season, with Jesse coaching. Thunder's first day of school. We are almost done with the first half of his kindergarten year! He is doing good and loves school. We had some of our first's with Joaquin, Halloween and Thanksgiving and we are getting ready for our first Christmas as a family of four!

Life is good,! Jesse and I of course have been busy at work, but it's better than not working! 2010 has been an interesting year and we look forward to what 2011 has in store for us.

Vacation 2010

In July we travelled to San Antonio on a mini-vacation. Here are a few of the pictures from our trip!

A Rios has been added to the Family

Sorry everyone, so much has happened since my last post almost 9 months ago! First we were blessed on April 17th with the birth of Juan Joaquin Ranger Rios. We call him Joaquin and he is a great baby!! At first we used to call him Dinosaur because he would grunt and grumble all the time but has since stopped. He's a little more serious than Thunder was, but is a very happy and sweet baby! He loves looking at himself in the mirror and is so in love with his big brother!! Thunder loves him so much and is a great helper!

Thunder has had so many changes since the last blog. He's a big brother, played his first season on Little League Baseball and started kindergarten. He is doing great in school and loves it. He's reading, writing and just playing as much as he can. His favorite class is gym. He will be starting his first season of soccer in the next couple of weeks and Jesse will be his coach. We are so excited!!!

Jesse and I are busy now with the two boys but couldn't be happier. We truly feel blessed to have our family complete! Thunder and Joaquin are so much fun and two is better than one!!! Here are pictures of the boys from the last 9 months and I'll try to be better at updating this post.

Lots of Love, Veronica

Mommy kissing Santa Claus

My wonderful husband played Santa Claus this year at the clinic that my sister in law Anabel works at...and although everyone has rough times, seeing some of these kids who struggle day in and day out puts life in to perspective! We are very fortunate for everything we have and THANK GOD for all he has provided for us!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!! Santa, Mommy and Joaquin!

Santa and his helper (Anabel)!!!!

For some reason Thunder would NOT get close to Santa and he knew it was his Daddy!! Oh well I finally got a picture with him and Santa! Sometimes you take what you can get!
