Thanksgiving 2012 in Austin

This year Nathaniel, Niko, Mikey, Grandma, Grandpa and I jumped in my Tia Isela's Rv and took a road trip to Austin, Texas! We desired to spend time with family we haven't seen in a while including Lamar, (Tio Lamar) who hadn't met Nathaniel yet. The last time we saw Lamar was when I was about 3 months pregnant with Nathaniel and Niko was about 15 months old. Now I am 3 months pregnant with my new baby and Nathaniel is 15 months old. How crazy time flies but also how long it seemed that we hadn't seen my brother. It was definitely time! We also got to meet some new members of our extended family. Cousin Bella who is the daughter of Monica and Jesus and Cousin Noah who is the son of Brisa and Rick. Niko couldn't wait to see his new cousins and also get to play with all his cousins he hadn't seen in a long time! Marcus, Benjamin, and Nicholas! He also couldn't wait to see Tio Lamar, Tio Pablo and Tia Margie, Tio John John and Tio David who have met him and gotten to know him pretty well!

The road trip was long but the boys did so well since they were able to move around a bit in the RV! Thank God for that RV!

Here are some very blurry pictures of us in the RV... they are blurry because Grandpa was driving so fast! Just Kidding! :P 







These are better.. but very silly! 
















Here is a video of us in the Rv


We stayed in Georgetown, TX with Tio Pablo and Tia Margie! Niko and Nathaniel loved being outdoors while we were there, and taking long walks with anybody who would take him! I think his most longest and favorite ones were with his Great Tio Pablo! We also saw alot of deer while we were there! Nathaniel called them doggy's! Speaking of Nathaniel he stopped nursing while we were staying in Georgetown! Mommy was very happy about that! It was nice because Tio Lamar was able to stay with us too! So we all got to spend lots of time with him! Here are the pictures of our time in Georgetown!

Made it back safely from the wasps that tried to sting us through the RV... just in time for Tio David's menudo! yum!! 

We were so blessed to spend Thanksgiving with Tio David, Isaac, Diana and Marcus, Eli, Jesus, Monica and Bella and tons more family and friends!  Niko wants to go back to Tia Moni's house and play with Marcus and Bella. We had such a blast spending our time with all our family! Wish we could live closer to them!

Thanksgiving day went by too fast! We had so much fun! It reminded me of when I was younger and my parents use to take us to our cousins houses and we didn't want the time with them to end. Things haven't changed.. We made great memories this Thanksgiving! Here are some videos of some moments we didn't want to forget!

Check out Tio David and Grandpa dancing with the grand babies! Be prepared to laugh!

Boys dancing and Grandpas joining them!

Grandpas continue dancing with boys!

We came home on Saturday evening and woke up the next morning bright an early for church and ready to eat more turkey with Mamaw and Grammy!! Niko, Nathaniel, Mikey and I had so much on this road trip but we were ready to come home and see the rest of our family and church family!
