Our New BIG Backyard

So we have been very blessed by God to be able to move into a big house with a big backyard for our kiddos to run and play!

The kids LOVE the backyard, well, they love the whole house actually! They love their bigger rooms & they have a playroom filled with toys, a TV w/ cable & a computer w/ Internet so they can go on their favorite websites!

But, their favorite thing by far is the big backyard they have to play and explore. Even Jacob gets out there & explores with the babies! We love it and are probably the happiest that we have ever been! Life is good! Life is GREAT!!

Christmas Eve!

Like a lot of the years in the past, Gerardo will be on duty this year on Christmas Day. So we had 'our' Christmas on Christmas Eve!

Lilly with all her gifts...she is really into Zhu-Zhu Pets this year...so she got A LOT of them!
Jacob is pretty much obsessed with WWE wrestling, so he got a lot of wrestlers & a big wrestling ring. But his favorite gift of the evening was a new T-Mobile Touch Screen Cell Phone!!

I got spoiled this year too...as usual! LOL! My hunny got me a Keirug One Cup Coffee Maker & perfume from Victoria's Secret, Escada & Dior!!!!

Aaron got so many of his favorite things! He loves to draw so he got an art set & a lot of Yo Gabba Gabba & Wonder Pets building blocks!!

We had a lot of fun and we are so blessed this Holiday Season!!

Our Christmas Tree....

Here is our tree this year with some of our presents under it!! I am so exhausted from wrapping presents...I need a nap..LOL!! We are truly having one of the best, most blessed Christmas's that we have EVER had!! We are so lucky that Gerardo has such a wonderful career & we are able to get our children pretty much everything that their little heart's desire!! Pretty soon we will hopefully move into a bigger & better house, (as soon as this house sells)...and our children will have an even more blessed, happy life!! Thanks to God for all he has given us!!!
Our kiddos under the tree...Lilly, Aaron, Jacob & Spike!! They are so excited for Christmas, they can barely contain themselves...LOL!! What a wonderful Holiday Season we are having!!!

We Love L.A.

These are some pictures from our last trip to Los Angeles. We decided to drive around & 'sight-see' some of Hollywood & we ran into a few places & things that we definitely don't have around here!

There are SO many signs with advertisements for movies and t.v. shows! I loves seeing all of these! Some of them are really big and extravagant...and some are just billboards like this one for "House".

Gerardo was dying to visit "Pink's", a world famous Hot Dog stand in Hollywood, but after we saw the HUGE line, we decided not to stop! Maybe next time!

This one caught us by surprise, but when we were driving down one of the streets we ran into Kat Von D's tattoo shop "High Voltage" that is shown on her t.v. show "LA Ink"...we should have stopped by for some 'ink'..LOL..!

These pictures are from over 1 year ago, but they are just so cute...I had to make an album for them!! Especially when I see how much the kiddos have grown in the past year!!

My Princess Lilly's 5th Bday....

I can't believe that 5 years have already gone by. I can't even remember how life was before we had the most beautiful girl in the world in our life! You bring us so much joy! We love you so much! I am so proud to be your mom, you are super smart, witty & wonderfully funny! I can't wait to spend many, many more years with you!!!
Lilly had the BEST 5Th Birthday that she could possibly have had! She was surrounded by so many people that truly, truly LOVE her! Happy Birthday Princess Lilly, we love you!!

Our Trip to Morro Bay....

In August 2009 we took a Chavoya Family Vacation to Morro Bay! It was wonderful, relaxing, fun, adventurous..all of the above!!

It was the first time we had been on vacation all together as a family with all of the children! All together was my mom, my dad, my sisters Cindy & Sharon, my foster bro & sis Gilbert and Angelica, my little sisters Martina & Kimberlyn, My kids Jacob, Lilly and Aaron, and of course, our dog Spike!!

We had an awesome time! We spent a lot of time in Morro Bay, but we also visited San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach & Avila Beach.

I got some awesome pictures...

Our Trip to Monterey...

Last weekend we were on our way to Monterey when I decided I would like to go to the Gilroy Outlets & go shopping instead....of course, my wonderful hubby took me to Gilroy instead & we had a wonderful time shopping for Jacob, Aaron & a little bit for Lilly!!

So, this weekend, we had to make up for our loss, so we decided to make our way alllll the way to Monterey!!...We wanted to take the kiddos to the Aquarium. We asked Yolanda if we could take Cousin Michelle with us and she said YES!...We were very happy to have Michelle along for the trip!!! She helped me with the babies & with my shopping..LOL..

It was a short weekend get-a-way...but it was really jam-packed with excitement & fun! We went to Fisherman's Wharf twice, we went to the beach, we went to explore the tide pools, we went to The Aquarium & Cannery Row...we had AWESOME food..and fun!!

I will post pics soon...I got some GREAT pics of the sea life at the aquarium...and the kiddos!!...It was fun and relaxing to get out of town for the weekend!!

This is Halloween.....

My Princess Lilly as The Little Mermaid Ariel...she is the PERFECT Princess!

Pablo from the Backyardigans. I tried to get him a different costume, but he just kept pointing & saying "Pablo"...LOL..so, he was 'meant' to be Pablo this year!!

We went Trick-Or-Treating in Madera Ranchos as we do every year! It was tons of fun, the kids got tons of candy. And the kids got to go to a few 'haunted' houses!!!

Aaron was so funny, he kept up with the big kids better than Lilly did!! He was determined to go to every house!! He wanted his CANDY & no one was gonna stop him, even if the houses were scary or had scary people jumping out..he didn't care...he just wanted his candy...LOL..!!!

I have to say this was one of the BEST Halloween's that we have EVER had!! For one thing Gerardo was home, so he got to enjoy his kids Trick or Treating. Another thing is Aaron was so funny wanting to go to every house and get candy!!
