Nico el Pescador

Para el 4 de julio nos fuimos al lago a comer un asadito y pescar. Teniamos en frente nuestro a dos pescadazos de 40 cm. de largo que no picaban ni a palos! Daban saltos adelante nuestro y todo. Si tuviesen lengua los peces seguro que nos la sacaban!

Mi companero de tenis y fiel amigo, el ingeniero de articulaciones humanas artificiales German Loesener--con su mama Lilia. Dicen que Ger es el mejor asador del Condado de Hazard. Ger, ponete las pilas y dejame ganarte un set loco!

Nico el Explorador

Despues de pescar nos fuimos a explorar por el sendero.

Y nos tomamos un descanso para tomar agua y regar los yuyitos.

For my birth day in Saint George...

We made 56 home-made empanadas that were twice as big as regular empanadas. And as you can see from this picture, Amberly even made the dough which I helped knead.

I thought there was no way only 10 adults and a few kids could ever finish that many empanadas. Oh... was I wrong! Those were the best empanadas I've ever had!

Amberly got me a Cold Stone frozen cake I'm still dreaming about...


Thank you Clarksons for having us over! We love hanging out with you!

The Dynamic Trio

Match the following statements with a child from this picture:
a. The handsome Argentine cousin
b. The perfectly behaved cousin
c. The dynamo, fun-must-be-attained-at-any-price cousin

Christiana Bell, Sophie, and Nico were born just a few months apart from each other and love hanging out. It's so fun to see their little personalities show from so early on. Sophie is my twin niece--she was born on my birthday :) Rafa

Beautiful Utah Mountains

This picture was taken 25 minutes from home. Many people drive longer to get to work than we do to get here.

Robert Redford fell in love with these mountains while filming the movie Jeremiah Johnson. His property is just a few minutes up this very road, and is where he hosts the famous Sundance Film Festival every year. My dad actually bumped into him at a store a couple of years ago. I haven't met him personally yet, but I have ran into Kenny Rogers-the legendary country singer and one of Redford's friends-not far from here while he was riding his motorcycle.

Summer Fun

Nico: Man! I must be the luckiest inmate. I'm in jail with the cutest girls in town!

Petting Zoos rock!

Not a little kid anymore

Just a couple of weeks ago we noticed that Nico was starting to lose his "little kid" look. Here is proof of that at 20 months. How do you like Baby Einstein in the back ground?

Mommi you are so fun!

English: Ta-da! Spanish: Cha-chan!

What do you think of this hairdo?

Rolling dough with Grandma

Am I doing it right?

Snuggling with mommi

That's one of the things Nico, Leo and I enjoy doing the most!

What are you guys doing in there?

Ummm... nothing, why? Oh, these rasins? Um, we just found them here...

It's a wild Pajama Party!!! Food, games... the whole nine yards!

We started up with yummy eggs by Aunt Amberly...

Then we played with puzzles and rings...

But the funnest was rocking Leo!

Leo at two months

Leo had his two month appointment today. He jumped from the 10th percentile to the 35th in weight, from the 31st to the 59th in height, and from a whopping 10th to an even more incredible 7.8th percentile in HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE!!! ...what can we say...we Hazembullers are pretty smart people.

Nico: Watch Leo! This is how you get up on your swing...

The Pool

Leo, not yet allowed to swim, just sits patiently in his carseat.


Nico is not even a year and a half and is already self-conscious about his belly.

A. Ok mom, enough pictures.
B. Striking resemblance to Verdasco--the up-and-coming Spanish tennis player. Notice the similarity in muscle definition of both Nico and Verdasco.

Cross Country Trip... Good, bad and the Ugly

So in order to complete our move, Rafa and I had to drive both of our cars across the country. We found one way tickets for $100 each-- can't beat that! So the Saturday after Christmas, Rafa, Leo, and I all flew to VA.

The cars halfway through the trip

Thanks to my sister-in-law Laura, I had the perfect coat for the trip!


The trip was going well until we hit Nebraska, this is just a taste of the many accidents we saw, one of which we narrowly avoided.
