Mr. & Mrs. Tatton Hamilton

It may seem like the other day that I was blogging about Tatton's triumphant return home from his mission. It was. And you never know, in 9 months I may be blogging about a honeymoon surprise:)

Tatton went all out with his tux and had a sexy top hat and cane.

After Tatton and Rachel had come out Trinity turned to Alex and said, "Daddy, take me inside and marry me!" then she planted a big kiss on him :)

while we were waiting.

Matti looking gorgeous as one of the bridesmaids.

The beautiful newlyweds.

Naughty little Elli kept making a b-line to the pond and much to her dismay, she spent a lot of time STRAPPED in her stroller.

Kalli and Trin picnicking by the pond.

The wonderful cake that Kalli did. She's amazing!

The reception was at a country club that had the most beautiful swan. I don't think I'd ever seen one this close before and it was incredible. I think I'm in love with swans.

Trin kept giving us all heart attacks every few minutes by disappearing every few minutes. She loved walking down by the water, but after getting in trouble repeatedly for taking off, she enlisted the service of her big cousin Jensen to escort her around for at least an hour. She sure is a bossy little thing. The bouquet throw.The garter toss. It was black. sexy!CONGRATS TATTON AND RACHEL!! WE LOVE YOU AND ARE SO HAPPY THAT YOU'VE STARTED YOUR FOREVER TOGETHER.

Our Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm especially thankful for my 2 beautiful daughters!

As is the Nunez family tradition, we successfully managed 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year. It actually works out great because each side makes certain dishes better than the other.

Our first stop: Alex's family.

Of course Trinity HAD to capture each individual that was present :) Some better than others, but hey, she's only 3.
Prima Claudia and Alex chillen in the backyard. It was the most gorgeous day down in the Valley! I'm thankful we were there and not home where it snowed. :)

Tio Elias

Prima Patty and her bf Brad.

Tio Robert and Tia Lecha

2nd stop: My Mom's family. I didn't take that many pictures, but I got a few of the cutie kids :D

Teila and Trin got along better at this gathering than ever before. I guess that is thanks to Trinity's growth spurt she's been going through all year and no longer looks like one of the babies.AWW! I love little Sean. He is the happiest little guy.Elli and Annie had fun playing in the back yard. They are just 5 weeks apart and it's fun to have a little cousin of the same gender and age.We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and it's always fun to catch up on every one's lives. I'm thankful for how truly blessed I am to have such a wonderful family, immediate and extended.

the new me...in 12-18 months

This is how I feel I look, (picture is a little blurry, this is Josie Grossie on Never Been Kissed)

This is how Alex says I look,

This is what I am after,

So, if you didn't already guess..... I got braces! It has been a wish of mine since my baby teeth fell out and the bigger, less straight, more crooked teeth grew in. And while my teeth and cheeks are a little sensitive, I am really excited that I am finally on my way to getting "The Perfect Smile" :D

Dear Santa,

In hopes of getting Trinity to not be such a "want monster", this morning I helped her write a letter to Santa, narrowing everything she sees on tv or in cataglogs down to a few items. Of course, it was a little difficult for her not to glue EVERY picture of EVERY item she saw on her letter.

She wrote all the letters her self with a little coaching from me and looking at her flash cards. Although she only wrote the T in her name, I wrote the rest. :)

When Trinity says the family prayer, she never forgets to say "and please bless santa can bring me a baby alive and lots of toys."

We're trying to teach her that "toys" aren't what Christmas is all about-- any suggestions?!!

Dancing Queens

Sorry that it's not upright-- I don't have a program that can do that. Just tilt your head to the side and you'll hardly even notice :)

Elli is following in her sisters love to dance whenever the slightest bit of music is on. She also is loving to copy and do what ever Trin is doing-- like screaming along when Trin throws a fit. Delightful? yes, but only cuz Elli is fake yelling and that's funny. But she has also picked up on throwing her body to floor and whining when she's not getting what it is she wants.

best buds

Watching Dora the Explorer together :)

Even though they already compete for attention and tease or love each other to the point of tears, they still love to be with each other all the time :)

Sweet November

So far we've had a busy month, so that is why I have taken so long to post anything. Weekly trips to the valley, with more to come! ahhh!










This is how Trinity looks like a princess for church.


This is how Elli shares...




November 2 was Matti's 15th Birthday! Fun times at Grandma's and Papa's.



Eliana LOVED the fairy wings at G-ma's. There was music playing and she just kept dancing and humming and kept us all entertained for a long time :)

Not even married yet and she already isn't bothered my his boogers. ewwww, I think I am.
Sundays are nap days at the Hamilton's.These lovely boots were my moms until they hurt her feet so bad she couldn't even walk in them. And while I'm really sad she couldn't wear her new boots, I'm really HAPPY that I'm a 1/2 size smaller than her. They are now mine! Love you mommy!!

See, I told you Elli likes to wear hats.






My pretty girl.
Hanging out at Nana's casa.

For Alex's birthday this year, my parents decided to get him a fun present, special for him. He took me along. He is a huge Cardinals fan.

That is his beer in the picture-- I was the D.D.

Chillen with some of Al's old friends, and if you think they look a little gangster-- you're probably right :)

This stadium was HUGE! and LOUD! and a BLAST!
YAY! we won!! GO CARDINALS!!! (look close, you can see the swinging towels)

Elli loves to make us all laugh, and this is her latest little monster face!


Lovin her mama.

The Cherry on top of all of our adventures is: I lost my phone! >:( Which I will not claim full responsibility of because I lost it at a car wash, washing away to much fun that Alex had at the Cardinals game, so I make myself feel better blaming him. :)

The end.
