Our Little Piano Player

        Some of you guys may not know this but mark's sister is one of the greatest piano player EVER. She has been teaching Eko since eko has develop a love for the Piano. He loves to sit on the bench and gently (unlike must kids his age) play the piano. The other day I caught him on it so I decided to take a picture and video of him. enjoy his first master piece. 































Here is his mini video, it looks like he stops 3 sec. into the video but he doesn't it keeps going.

CHRISTMAS 2008

This christmas was awesome, It taught us a lot. We also had lots of fun since lat year Eko was too little to really enjoy it but this year he had fun helping everyone open their presents but his favorite part was giving other people their presents he didn't really care for his own presents till christmas Dad...












Since our family is half latin we open one present on christmas Eve and the rest on christmas morning. Its our way of meting in the middle for our family traditions. Here is eko opening his first gift. Out of all his gifts this is the one he celebrated the most for. It was his elmo Pj's and his Elmo slippers. HE LOVED THEM!!!  






















































On christmas morning we all got up early, Marks mom and I made breakfast and then we all waited for Eko to come down. He was so excited to see his new tricycle. for the last 2-3 months whenever we went to walmart or toysrus he would run to this tricycle and wouldn't get off and even now... even tho he can't ride it to well he still loves to be on it. 


























Believe it or not he was excited but half way asleep as well. 
















































Before we opened gifts we took a few family pictures. This is us with Mark's parents and sisters. There is one more sister but she is on a mission. We got to talk to her later on that day. 
BURROUGHS FAMILY #1 & 2

Eko's grandma from GA sent him this cool tent and eko has been play inside of it since christmas, he loves it. He even came up with his own way to use it. He flips it up and uses the door as a hoop. so its a house and a basket ball net.

So as some of you have heard it has been snowing like crazy here. We have gotten over a foot of snow at our house and on the news they said we should be getting an other foot on christmas morning. So here are some of our winter fun pictures. By the way, EKO LOVES THE SNOW!!!

there was so much snow, we made a whole in the middle and put eko inside.































Here is eko and daddy inside the whole.













Eko learned to throw snowballs. He likes throwing snowballs at his aunties & daddy.

























We had so much snow we were able to make slides in our front yard. 












































Buddy ofcourse was ecstatic, I have never met a dog that loves snow more than our dog. 

























Mark was like a little kid,  He ran and started making snow angels and even convinced me to make one with him. can you tell his excitement in his face. 




































So off subject, the other day I found the cutest hat and just had to take a picture of it. Its not the best picture but you can kindda see it. ain't it cute.
