The Pinheiro Family: January 2012

Refreshed and Reset

For two weeks we were in a World All Our Own... We pretty much hit everything on Sierra and my top 5 lists... as well as Bongo's!!!

Here are some pictures to tell the story...

Sierra on a little "date" with her "boy" friend Dalton after Weston's baptism.... really they were just sitting together at a table for two so we had enough room for the adults! (They drew all kinds of looks as Sierra was in her dress and they were not just sitting at the table for two... but in front of the fire place as well, ha ha!)

Bongo's tail got caught in the door... still working on that...

The boys new favorite past time... watching football together

This one is for the Papa's!!!

Out to dinner

Date Night out to dinner at McKenzie's Chop House... YUM!

Feeling Refreshed and Reset to push through these last few months until we are back together as a family....

A Day at Play

So being the AWESOME dad that Cole is he wanted to check off all the things on Sierra's list while he was home. Being that it is the middle of winter two of her items were going to be a bit questionable... Camping and Fishing. So he opted for an indoors version. The tent was set up, the fishing pole rigged... and then they created a rainbow trout to catch (with magnets.) After her big 10 inch catch out came the camping stove and frying pan. The tent was loaded down with the sleeping bags, a gun for protection from the big black wolf... aka Bongo, and a baby crib.

As the day evolved her camping chair became the toilet/out house, she had about five more babies, we became the grandparents and she was married to a man named Cob Lo. As we inquired more about her husband who wasn't present much we discovered that he was a cowboy out on the range working with donkeys. He rides bare back, wearing a hat and the Emperors New Suit.... aka he's a nudist. He makes a living selling donkey poop so he can pay for all these babies she keeps having.

She is an independent mommy that goes and checks for the bears, cooks the meals, takes care of the sleeping/crying babies, and so easily pops out these chidlren. All in all it made for a hilarious day of imagination, creativity, story telling.... and some somewhat restful play for mom and dad as we got to take some rests in the sleeping bags as mommy declared night time, morning time, night time, morning time, ha ha!

Our Blessed Little Boy

One of the items on my top 5 list while Cole was home was to have Weston baptised. (This was one of the things he missed with Sierra.) The priest here on post is awesome and was very willing to work with Cole's unpredictable schedule with the arrival/departure time line. Cole came home, we set the date and then the Army scheduled for Father to leave for the week... awe! Thank goodness we received a new priest to post that week and he was able to step in.

Father Dan held a beautiful ceremony in the intimate Sacred Heart Chapel. Weston was able to wear the baptismal gown that was originally my mother's, then my uncle Jon's, later worn by me, my sister Amy, and by Sierra. Here are some pictures of the ceremony and our darling little boy.
