Lucky or Unlucky?


Seriously, what is the deal with Rafael and cars? Ha ha, cry, cry. As he was driving to work this morning, he was following a small truck. Well, something came flying out of the back of the truck and smashed into the hood and then into his windshield . . . shattering it. There is glass all over the place inside the car. He is doing fine, but thinks he may have swallowed some glass . . . he went to the E.R. and I'm waiting for an update. Now to the title of this post, are we lucky or unlucky? It seems like we've been pretty unlucky, but I'm deciding that we are lucky. I have heard of so many horrible stories when people are hit by flying debris on the freeway, and the outcome is not good. I will have to say that Rafael came out of this pretty lucky. Of course now we have to fork over money to get the car fixed because the person that owned the truck pulled over, saw what happened and took off. What you say, took off? Yeah, what a loser. So, maybe we are a little unlucky.

But wait, let's look at things again. I'm pretty lucky because I have these two little kids that remind me everyday of just that . . . how lucky I am to have a great family.

Where art thou . . . Art?

So, many of you probably know that I have a degree in Art. It has been quite awhile since I have actually had the time to work on any art pieces, but I have decided that is something I need to make time for. To help motivate me, I have created a new blog dedicated to my artwork. Obviously, it is just in it's beginning stages. I'm hoping to add some more info as well as more pictures of my past work as well as and most importantly, new artwork. So stay tuned . . . and check out my new blog - Montero Art.

Christmas in Cali

We decided to surprise my Mom this year for Christmas. We usually go to California for Christmas, but this year we told her we didn't think we would make it. On Christmas Eve, we knocked on the door and surprised her to the point that she dropped to the floor crying. I was expecting a scream or something, but no just akward silence as we watched her cry. Just kidding Mom. We had a blast and really enjoyed the warm weather by visiting the beach. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Montero Christmas Party

Mauricio, Keegan and Ireland were in Utah visiting and so we decided to all get together for a little Christmas party at the Funke's. We played a few games and had some yummy food.

Wesley's Half Birthday!

WOW . . . I can't believe Wesley is already 6 months old. It is crazy, how fast he has grown up. He is sitting on his own and rolling over. He started eating "real food" about 2 weeks ago. I just took him for his 6 month check-up and he weighed 16lbs. He is so much bigger than Lydia was. Pretty soon, he isn't going to be a baby anymore. His pediatrician said to start teaching him the crawling motions . . . what . . . crawling already. NOOOOO!

No Screaming!

I wasn't sure how my kids would react seeing Santa Claus, and I'm glad to say there was no screaming or crying. This is actually the first time Lydia has really seen or sat on Santa's lap so I wasn't sure what would happen. The first time you say? Yeah, I know she is almost 4 and no Santa . . . what a bad Mom. We just never made it to see him. Oh well. She did tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas . . . a baby that pees. Don't we already have one of those, and his name is Wesley?
