While you wait for Santa.

Here are some fun games you can play while you wait for Santa to come. He will be here in just a few more days. So you better watch out and you better not pout, Santa's coming to town! So be good kids. By the way, Grandma has made the reindeer food this year for you to put out on Christmas eve. So I'll bring it to you next week. Can't wait to see you.

I know many of you have lots of snow right now and if it's too cold to go out and build a snowman you can build one right here. Here are lots of games you can play and even build a snowman. Have fun.

Well have a really fun Halloween and be safe and don't eat too much candy all at once. It could make you sick and your Mommies and Daddies wouldn't like that either. Please be sure to send pictures to us of yourselves in your costumes. Thank you.

Hugs and kisses to you all and Happy Halloween!! Grandpa and Grandma

Your new cousin Lucas!!

Hi kids - you probably know by now you have a new cousin. Uncle Josh and Aunt Kristi have a new baby boy named Lucas Anthony. He was born on July 16, Natalie's birthday. That sure is cool huh. Our oldest grandchild was born on July 16 and our youngest on July 16, exactly 9 years apart.

Well here are a few pictures of your cousin Lucas and his mommy and daddy too. We thought you might enjoy seeing these pictures. Won't Lucas be fun to play with in a few years? :)


Hope you're all having a fun summer. Grandpa and Grandma love you and miss you all very much and hope to see you soon.

Feeding baby parrots!!

Hola Nietos!! Grandpa and Grandma wanted to tell you about an adventure we had today.

We helped to feed some baby parrots. There were 270 Orange-fronted conure parrots that were taken from their mamas by some bad men here in Mexico. They were trying to take them across the border into the United States to sell them illegally and were caught by the Mexico police. These bad men are now in jail for 9 years.

Today we helped feed the baby parrots with a dropper. They have to be fed 3 times a day with Gerber baby food, like cereal and fruit. Some medicine and vitamins were also put in the baby food to help them grow strong. The baby parrots should be ready to feed themselves in about 2 weeks. It was an amazing experience getting all sticky feeding them the baby food with a dropper. When they get big enough, they will be released back into the forest some where close to Mazatlan. We are hoping to be able to watch them when they are released. We were so happy to be able to help these poor little baby parrots that had been taken from their mamas.
Here is a little information on this type of parrot, which is the most popular in all of Mexico.
This is a picture of just a few of the baby parrots. There were a whole lot more and they were very hungry and made lots of noise.

Here is a video of us feeding the baby parrots with a dropper.
