2003 in Pictures

Here are pictures from 2003. Enjoy!


Happy New Year
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob wish everyone a Happy, Prosperous and Safe New Year.
 
Christmas Gifts
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob sitting on their four-wheelers they got from PoPo and Granny Gran for Christmas. This was a quick photo as they were too anxious to get going. They love their new rides.



Nativity Scene
Caleb as a wise man and Sydni as the Virgin Mary at our Annual Family Christmas Eve Celebration.


Fun with Santa Hats
This was supposed to be the front of this year's Christmas cards -- but time just got away from us.


Christmas 2003
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob in their Christmas outfits -- very beautiful.



 
Red Santa
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob enjoyed their time spent with the local firemen when we delivered Red Santa gifts. The firemen were so sweet to spend so much time with the kids.


Sitting on Santa's Lap
This Santa at the mall was very authentic looking.


Mother's Day Out Christmas Program
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob were shy performers at their Christmas program. Jacob always yawns when he sings.

Thomas the Tank
The kids enjoyed their "Day Out with Thomas the Tank" and Sir Topham Hatt. It was their first time on a train.


PoPo's Birthday Party
The kids sang Happy Birthday to PoPo -- then we had to sing Happy Birthday to each of them.

Halloween 2003
Sydni, Jacob and Caleb as Dora, Swiper and Boots. And Sydni as the adorable Snow White (love the wig!).





Children's Museum
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob on the train bench at the Children's Museum "Mi Familia" exhibit.

Winter T-Ball
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob posing before their first t-ball game. They're naturals.

1st Day of "School"
Here are Caleb, Sydni and Jacob complete with their backpacks and lunch bags getting ready to enter school on their first day of Mothers Day Out.

Disney on Ice -- Princess Classics
Caleb, Jacob and Sydni with Cinderella at Disney on Ice.


We're Three Now!!!
The kids had a ball at their third birthday party. The theme was Blues Clues. We had a house that looked like Blue's house and a stage set to look like Blue's living room. They loved their cake and the bounce 'round was a gift from their favorite Auntie. Caleb rode his bike around and around the tables.






Bid Kid Beds
Sydni, Caleb and Jacob are enjoying their new beds. They are eager to go to bed now -- even though Jacob refused to pose for this picture.



Sea World '03
The kids had a wonderful time at Sea World. They loved Shamu the most, but also enjoyed the dolphins and all the other critters. The photo of Sydni shows just how close we were able to get to Shamu when we dined at Sea World.


Yankee Doodle Dandees
Granny Gran and PoPo treated the family to dinner at Outback Steakhouse (in honor of Auntie D and Mommy's birthdays) before going to watch the fireworks.


The Big Splash
Jacob, Sydni and Caleb had fun participating in the "Kid Fish" event in June. The photo of Jacob was taken just seconds before he threw the fish back in the water. Crazy kid! Sydni is adorable in anything she does. Caleb looked too cute in his fishing cap, (aka Easter hat). He wouldn't take it off even though it doesn't fit him anymore.



Dora the Explorer
The kids loved watching Dora Live! in San Antonio.

Ready for bed...NOT!
First Jacob found the laundry basket and got a ride in it. Then Caleb joined in and got a ride with Jacob in it. Then Sydni joined in on the fun too. That laundry basket is awfully heavy with the three of them in it.

Enjoying the day
Sydni, Caleb and Jacob are now beginning to enjoy taking pictures. They love it when it is their turn.



Cinco de Mayo
The kids posed for photos sitting on their old time Mexican style bench in honor of Cinco de Mayo. They also had paper flowers but were shy about holding them up.



Barney's Colorful World
The kids loved watching Barney live on stage in San Antonio. I actually tried to get them to rush the stage with no luck.



Easter 2003
Caleb, Sydni and Jacob took some Easter pictures at Wal-Mart. They look cute!



The Breakfast of Champions
Jacob found the box of Whales on the counter and pulled his chair over to the counter, climbed up, got the box and went to sit on the recliner. Caleb and Sydni soon jumped on the recliner (and Jacob) to join him. Sydni wanted the box so Jacob took out the foil package from the box and handed her the box. (Jacob is not that small -- he's just squashed.)

Look How We've Grown
Jacob, Sydni and Caleb are growing like weeds. They are all about the same height. They go up in weight from the smallest, Jacob, to the heaviest, Caleb.


Happy Valentines Day
Here are the kids on Valentines Day. We really did up Valentines Day to take their minds off of Santa Claus.



The Things I Do For My Sister
Sydni is always asking the "boys" to play with her. Here she has roped Caleb into playing "daddy" to her doll. Jacob ditched the other stroller when Auntie D brought out the camera.

Who Has Time To Rake Leaves???
Sydni, Jacob & Caleb love playing outside. On this particular day there were so many leaves they couldn't help but play in them.



We're On A Roll
These are the kids outside bikes. They stood still just long enough to get a picture -- Caleb actually had to back up to get in the picture.

Chuck E. Cheese
Here are Jacob, Caleb, Sydni, Cousin Heaven and Cousin Jessi playing at Chuck E. Cheese's. Everyone got together to play during Cousin Heaven and Lindsey's visit to Texas from San Diego. They had a ball.
