Meet Tinkerbell...

Well, this weekend we got a puppy! There was a mom at the day care who was trying to find a new home for her, so I volunteered. Our lives are crazy busy, but she just looked so cute and tiny that it was hard to say no. So now we are trying to potty train her. Boy is that fun!!!! Its a good thing we already have gross carpet! But she is so much fun and the kids adore her. Chase is helping out a lot by taking her outside when its time for her to go potty. It is nice that he is old enough to help out with her. Anyways,that is our newest member of the family. I hope I don't end up regretting this!!! We wish you all the best! Love, The Esquibels

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

We hope that Everyone is having a very merry and memorable Christmas this year!! We have had a fun morning with the kids enjoying every one of their toys. Chase was very excited that Santa came last night and wants to tell him thank you for the toys! It is so much fun with the kids being older and understanding more!! Well, I am going to go finish my Christmas day with my family but I just wanted to share some pictures with you all!!!

The Kids are Getting Big!!

On the car! Guess who put them there? Not mom!

Brooke is 2!! Happy Birthday!

Presents are the BEST!!!

Soon Chase will be 4!! He is getting big!!

She really was excited about the cake!!

Day care fun!!!

This is brooke at the day care having too much fun. She enjoys all that she is learning and doing. She like to read her books and she likes to dress up, and she REALLY enjoys the finger painting. She thinks it is more fun to paint her body than to paint on the paper. But i thought it would be fun to post these pictures of the day care. I didn't realize that I don't have any of chase at the day care. I guess I should be better about that. We hope all is well with everyone!!

Hello to everyone....

Well, a new post has been long over due. So I figured now is as good as time as any. Well as most of you know we are now in Utah. Travis is going to school and working full-time. I am also working full-time back at the daycare. Things are busy and crazy, but that is life. The kids are doing well. Chase is slowly starting to talk better. And brooke is talking more and more. She just copies everything we say. It is so cute. There are times that she just sits there and talks to herself and it is so funny to listen to her. You can't understand what she is saying, but it makes us laugh. We have been getting a lot of snow here and I am ready for spring. It will be nice when we can see the grass and have the flowers start blooming. I love the spring, and am anxious to have it arrive. I guess I just need to be patient. Well, I just wanted to update everyone and let you all know how we are doing. We hope you are all doing well, and wish you the best!!! Here are some pictures of the kids.

These were their Valentines Day presents. It was funny because Chase said that Santa had come and I told him that it wasn't Santa it was cupid! He thought it was funny.

Brooke got the doodlebops guitar!!
And Chase got the doodlebops drums!!

Brooke always falls asleep like this and it is just so funny!!!

Hey look at my tongue! It can change colors!!

This is them being nice to each other, which isn't always the case.

He is just a goofball!!!

I am so adorable!!!

Kiss and make up!!!

Vacation Fun!!

Hey everyone,
As most of you might know we just got back from a family vacation in Oklahoma. Travis's brother and family live there and we went to visit them. They are our closest friends so we had a lot of fun hanging out with them and their kids. We haven't seen them in a year, so it was a good gathering, and the kids had so much fun together. Travis's parents were there too and of course it is always fun to see them. Chase was by Grandma and Grandpa's side every moment. You can see how much he misses seeing them. Wehad such a great time, and it was hard to leave. It is a bummer to be back to normal life again, but just knowing that the holidays are coming is getting me through the days. Well, we have a lot of pictures to post and I didn't even post half of them. The pictures were mostly from the zoo, and a restaurant called Logan's!!!

This is Chase thoroughly enjoying the peanuts. They just let you throw the shells on the floor. Just like Texas Roadhouse!!

Brooke enjoyed the rolls with the honey butter......

But mostly the honey butter!!!!!
Here are Grandma and Grandpa Esquibel just enjoying everything around them!!
What a cute couple!!

A whole bunch of monkeys just hanging out!!!

Well, we had a great time and want to thank Corey and Kory for their hospitality and love, and also thank Grandma adn Grandpa for all they did as well. We can't wait to see them all again. And this Christmas we will get to see evern more family and we are so excited.

We hopethat everyone is doing well, and send you all the best of wishes!!!

Love,

The Esquibels

Travis, Tiffany, Chase, and Brooke

Life is as fun and Crazy as Usual!!

Hey Everyone,

I just thought I would write a little something letting you all know what we are up to. Things here are pretty crazy, so its nothing that new. I have started a job at Payless Shoes part time in the evenings and I like it. It is a pretty mellow job, although I do stay busy. Plus I like the people I work with so it makes it ice. The extra money will be very nice. We are trying to save up some money because we will be going to OK in Sept. We will be visiting Travis's brother and his family. I am excited because any break from the crazy life will be fun. So thatis what we are looking forward to. And then before we know it the Holidays will be here, so we will need the extra money even more. I love the Holidays and am very excited about them being so close. Chase and Brooke are staying busy. they arealways getting into something or making a mess or just pestering eachother. It is amazing how fast they grow. Brooke is climbing onto everything now. The other day i found her crying because she had crawled up onto the entertainment center and got stuck in one the shelves. She is so crazy. Sometimes I think she should ahve been a boy because of how tough she plays. She can even be the one picking on Chase. It can be funny to watch, but I have to let her know that it isn't okay. They both get into trouble a lot. But they wouldn't be kids if they didn't, right? Well, Travis downloaded some pictures from his phone so I thought I would post some of them. They are so cute!

The other day we went to Wal-Mart to haveour tires changed and while we were waiting we went into their little game area and let the kids ride some things and they thought it was so much fun. Chase didn't actually play the motorcyle game, but he just thought it was fun riding on it. And then Brooke loved the Hot dog van. After we lether ride it she just didn't want to get out. they were both prettymad when we had to leave.

This was a picture from our townhouse in UT before wemoved, but I just thought Chase looked so funny I had to post it. He can be such a character!As you all knowthe park is chases favorite thing to do, and you can tell by the big smile on his face as he comes down the slide. This was also while we were in UT!
And this I just thought was cute. He just looks so innocent. Something that he rarely is. So to have caught it on camera was amazing! It can be so rewarding when they are sweet and cute like that! But we have to enjoy it when we can get it!

Well, we wish everyone the best. Take care and we hope to hear from you all soon.

Love,

The Esquibels
