My family pictures

Thanksgiving 2010

We were so blessed to be able to have the entire Dorado clan at Thanksgiving dinner this year. This will be a year to never forget! And since this was such a rare occasion, we took family pictures a few days later. My dear friend and cutest CHICA in the world took them for us (you know who you are :-) xoxoxoxoxox

All Dressed Up!

A special day for little Carlitos! He was baptized in May of this year and we were his God Parents.

Look at Brooklyn

She is such a BIG GIRL!!!! I love this pic of her (Paul is such a proud papa) notice the bib she is wearing in one of the pics :-)

Good laugh from Andrew today....

So I was on my way to drop off Andrew at school today and the radio people were talking to Alema Harrington (famous athlete). He apparently was in an accident a few weeks ago on the freeway and a disk brake fell off of a semi trailer, broke through his windshield and hit him in the arm/shoulder. He teamed up with UDOT (utah dept of transportation) on reminding people to take the time to tie down things in their trailers to help avoid accidents.

Anyway I had no idea Andrew was even paying attention to the radio. He then proceeds to tell me that he wants to go to the website and see the video that Alema had made with UDOT. I told him to remember to write down UDOT.UTAH.GOV so that we could go on this afternoon and check it out.

When I picked him up later this afternoon, he pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper to show to me. I opened it up and it read "u.utah.gov" Do you get it?? Instead of udot.utah.gov
Needless to say I almost peed my pants laughing!!!!!!
