New Website

One of my goals for the New Year is to keep this blog updated regularly. I know people have asked for videos as well so I am creating a different site just for videos. If you click the link on the right titled ~Mateo Lee's Funspot~ it will take you to another blog where I plan to regularly upload videos. I have found a site that will make it easier and quicker to upload which is usually half my battle. So I will do my best to keep things refreshed. Hope you enjoy watching our little man grow as much as we do!

Christmas Day ~ Santa has arrived

This Christmas was so much fun! Watching the excitement and fun thru Mateo's eyes made it so much more special! On Christmas Eve he left out some carrots for the reindeer, which mommy almost forgot but Mateo made sure I didnt, and instead of cookies Mateo wanted to leave some "toni" for Santa. Toni is short for Pannetonne, one of Mateo's favorites right now. He woke up to find his carrots eaten.. which actually left his speechless and a bit confused, we then went to see that Santa had eaten his "toni" and drank his milk.. and left a ton of presents!! He was so excited to open them all! Wishing you and your family all had a very Merry Christmas~~!









One of my FAVORITE pictures!!

Enjoying his new tool bench.. isnt he too cute with his goggles!



My handsome little man!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I realized I did not have a picture of Mateo with Santa by himself... SO I asked him if we went to see Santa if he would sit on his lap. He said yes, I asked again and again and every time he said Yes...so I dressed him up and we all went out to the new Bass Pro Shops. I knew they had a Santa and figured it would be less crowded than the malls. Well lucky us, no lines and free pictures.. plus you could take your own..only 1 problem.. you have to have a child that cooperates.. so low and behold.. another pic with mommy in it.. the one they took was better but I guess we will hope for better next year!


Such a ham with his "cheesy" grin





When I was little our family tradition was on Christmas Eve to light the fire and eat on the floor. We had lunch meats, cheeses, bread and most yummy Cheese Fondue.. so we decided to do that this year. Mateo had way too much fun dipping the bread in the fondue.







Mateo and his best bud




NOt a great pic but all in our matching jammies and ready to open presents.. yes we open presents on Christmas Eve and Santa comes on Christmas morning.

Trying harder!

I always have the best of intentions to upload all the cute pictures I take. But something always seems to come up and it gets put off. I will try harder to keep it updated regularly. I am going to go back to our Disney vacation and upload.. so you may need to look at older posts on a different page! If you keep up with Mateo's babysite page you will see I have run out of room to post pictures. At the end of the year I will stop updating that site. I will archive the site on a CD so our little man can look at in the future. I have plans for another site after the new year. Stay tuned!!

Christmas 2008

Being the "little Helper" that he loves to be!




The best part, playing with the train!!




Daddy is a very lucky man!! He has his own tree with all his personal "daddy" decorations. Mainly 49ers, sports, pool and some other fun stuff. Mateo had a ton of fun decoration. Most everything went in the same spot but it was so cute to watch the excitement as he helped!!

Mateo is a very lucky little boy. For every birthday and Christmas he recieves something in the mail from Indiana from Mommy's friend Laura
