Daniel and Dana's Wedding

Our family was very blessed to be able to attend Daniels wedding in Utah. Everyone from Christians family was there except Ramon, Devon and Gavin. It was a lot of fun to get all of us together again and it meant a lot to my kids to see Daniel get married to such a wonderful and beautiful bride! It makes my heart happy and proud of Daniel.  I remember the days when we would get together every Sunday at the Nuevo house. Watching Christian play video games with all his little brothers. Ramon, the times he was there, helping Helen in the kitchen and  talking crap to his little brothers! Sorry Ramon! Byron, always fixing Helen's computer or reading a book. Arianne, asleep in her room! Sean, telling us about his latest adventures on the skate board and what happened the night before in story form!!!  Daniel, getting REALLY mad when he lost the video game. David, mostly playing video games with Christian. Sebastian, with  his stories of Vietnam and bouncing the soccer ball on his knees for hours it seamed. Helen, spending the whole day in the kitchen cooking and telling the boys to set the table, feed the dogs etc, etc....all the things a mother of eight deserves to be demanding! Pato, watching TV in his bed and demanding someone to bring him water. My girls still tell me how they miss these days! Believe it or not, I do too! Even though EVERY time we get together it's chaos and there's never any place comfortable to sit, someone is always arguing with the person next to them, there's just something special there with all of us together. A connection that we all share called FAMILY. I feel so blessed to be a part of Christian's family. I have grown to love each and everyone of his six brother, one sister, Helen and even Pato. They are all unique and special to me. I love them all very much!!!

Sammy danced with Seilah for almost a full hour! He pulled her off one time and told her that he wanted to rest. One second later she was pulling him back out to the dance floor. Sammys response, "Okay fine!!!"  Very, very funny, guess you had to be there!

Daniel forcing Kylie to dance with him. For some reason she was totally embarrassed.

How sweet. Dana and Daniel's #1 dancing together.

You guys are just adorable!!!







Our Very Late & Tiny Summer Garden




Labor Day

All the kids swimming in the jacuzzi.


Best Friends. Elaina & Alexis.



Every time Elias stands on top of the boogie board in the pool he is so proud of himself. This is as close as he will ever get to surfing because he's scared to death of sharks and deep water!

You goofy girls=P 

This year for the first time ever Christian has to work on labor day. After work he joined us at our old house in San Jacinto. The grass need to be trimmed so that the sprinklers would work. So, there he is my workaholic husband cutting the grass. Well, I suggested that it be done!


Hunter & Elias. One of Elias & Sammy's best buds from our old house.

Hunter's brother Riley. Elias best bud.


Trying to get Christian to smile=)

Elias & his rainbow!

Andy, Jennifer, Sasha, Christian.  A few of our BESTEST FRIENDS! We love you Jen & Andy=)


Oh yes! We couldn't leave SJ without stopping by Frugos frozen yogurt!

All the kids in the neighborhood found this frog and my little Sammy was the only that wanted to pick it up! He was so darn proud of this frog. He said, "I'm a keep this frog foureva!!!" Of course we had to let it go.

Labor Day was great! We cleaned up our old garage to get it ready for escrow to close. We swam, we BBQ, we spent the day with great friends. We even had some rain.
