The Porrata Family

Rainforest Cafe

2012-01-15T09:24:00.000-08:00

We took a quick trip to Rainforest Cafe. Eli's face lit up watching all the animals move and listening to the thunder and lightening. Gabe wasn't that interested so we'll have to go back someday when he is old enough to enjoy it. For now, we can cross it off the list.

Meeting Tinley

2011-12-31T08:57:00.000-08:00

Gabe and Parker.

Gabe is only 4 days older than Parker.

Adrian's Birthday/Porrata Christmas

2011-12-26T17:49:00.000-08:00

Getting good at this standing thing.

Happy 37th birthday Adrian!

Smith Christmas

Christmas Morning

2011-12-25T16:44:00.000-08:00

Gabe's 1st Christmas. 8 months old today!

Uncle Matt gives the best stuffed animals.

Torturing Eli...what else are uncles for?

Bepaw and Eli's favorite thing to do together.

Too much excitement.

Gabe @ 8 Months

2011-12-25T08:34:00.000-08:00

Gabe turned 8 months old on Christmas day.

Christmas Eve at Mawmaw & Pawpaw's

2011-12-24T17:18:00.000-08:00

Gabe's first experience with opening gifts.

Eli loves his Uncle John!

Lampo/Ruffino Christmas

2011-12-18T18:24:00.000-08:00

Our annual Lampo/Ruffino Christmas party at Aunt Cherry's house.

Time for the BIG Tub

2011-12-15T12:07:00.000-08:00

Gabe has been really interested in watching Eli in the bath tub lately so I decided it was time for him to take a big boy bath. So much easier and Gabe enjoys it too!

Family Picture Day

2011-12-10T21:00:00.000-08:00

I know I've gone overboard (put a lot on here) but I just wanted to share some pictures from our photoshoot a few weeks ago. If Gabe was smiling, Eli wasn't. If smiles were good, the wind blew my hair and covered my face. It wasn't the easiest hour and a 1/2 but I think we got some good ones. Enjoy!

Meet Rex, Our Elf

2011-12-01T21:36:00.000-08:00

Birdie read the story to Eli. He couldn't wait to get his gift from Santa.

The next day there was a knock at the door. Eli opened the door and there he was...our Elf had arrived.

Eli named him Rex. (We are hoping Rex really works!)

7 Months Old

2011-11-25T19:43:00.000-08:00

Gabe is 7 months old! Time is flying and so is Gabe...crawling so fast that he's gone in a flash. We have to keep an eye on him constantly. He loves everything but his toys...magazines, shoes, socks, and cords are some of his favorites. He's starting to pull up which means more baby-proofing.

Lately Gabe loves to watch Eli play in the tub so I decided it was time to get rid of the plastic baby tub and put him in the real bathtub.

He did great and it was much easier for Mommy too!

Gabe's First Hair Cut

2011-11-13T18:40:00.000-08:00

I didn't want to do it but as you can see Gabe was in desperate need of a hair cut. It's out of control!

If only he was a little girl we could tie it up in a pretty pink bow.

All done! Not my little baby anymore. Looks all grown up.

Sitting Up

2011-11-02T18:34:00.000-07:00

Gabe decided to sit up today. With a little roll and a grunt he sat right up! It's amazing how quickly babies learn to do new tricks.

Halloween

2011-10-31T18:19:00.000-07:00

Gabe makes great-grandchild #6 for Papa Smith.

The boys with their great-grandparent's Mawmaw and Pawpaw.

Almost crawling...

Trick-or Treat!

A caged tiger.

Fall Fest

2011-10-30T17:38:00.000-07:00

We took Eli and Gabe to Central Baptist's Fall Festival. It was nice to have something to do together as a family. Eli is a pirate this year and for Gabe's first Halloween, a tiger. I'm not looking forward to the days when the boys want to pick out their own costumes.

Argh!

Happy first Halloween Gabe!

Eli with Grace and Paige

Grrrr!

Happy Half-Birthday Gabe!

2011-10-25T17:20:00.000-07:00

Happy Half-Birthday to Gabe! I can't believe my baby boy is 6 months old. He weighs 16 lbs and is over 27 inches long. He had a huge growth spurt since his last appointment at 4 months. He is sitting up all by himself and looks like he's going to start crawling any day.

Dewberry Farm

2011-10-22T07:33:00.000-07:00

We went to Dewberry Farm with Birdie and Bepaw today. We've wanted to take Eli for a while but I wanted to wait til he was old enough to do most of the activities. We'll be back when Gabe is older but for now I can check it off our list.

Eli...I think the ducks are trying to tell you something.

Working hard at the Duck Races.

My favorite...the pig races. Too funny!

Playing on Fort DewHickey

The cow train. Nothing like eating dust while riding behind a tractor.

My precious boy and his crazy hair and the wind wasn't helping.

Pictures in the Park

2011-10-16T17:51:00.000-07:00

This was the first attempt to take pictures of both boys together. Not easy! Eli would not cooperate (big shock) and since Gabe is not sitting up on his own yet, it was quite difficult. So, here are the only two pictures worthy of posting.

Gabe @ 5 Months Old

2011-09-25T19:28:00.000-07:00

Gabe turned 5 months old today. The kids at daycare have nicknamed him "smiley" because he's always so happy. He's eating solid foods with no problems and with those habits he's more and more like a Lampo. You know we love to eat!

Adrian's Surgery

2011-09-20T17:43:00.000-07:00

Here are just a few pictures from Adrian's 1st surgery. It has been a long couple of months but he is well on his way to a full recovery. Thank you all for your prayers and support for him and our family.

I administered his antibiotics through a PICC line every night for 7 weeks. We were both relieved when that was finally over. It was very time consuming and made Adrian feel crummy. And I should get some kind of nursing certificate with all the training I received for this!

Batter Up!

2011-09-16T18:38:00.000-07:00

Just Me & Jen

2011-09-10T19:12:00.000-07:00

After almost 3 years Jennifer and I were able to hang out together. Just the girls...no kiddos! We drove around town and through campus so she could see all the changes, got pedicures, and shopped for new Aggie gear. And of course, ate at Wings, Jen's favorite.

Meeting Gabe for the first time.

Can't get wings like this up north!

Gabe's First Cereal

2011-09-10T18:53:00.000-07:00

Hum...not so sure about this stuff.

Precious Boys!

2011-09-04T18:49:00.000-07:00

4 Months Old

2011-08-25T18:29:00.000-07:00

Baby Gabe is 4 months old! He is rolling over and laughing the cutest laugh ever. I miss him so much while I'm at work and I can't wait to get to him. He makes everything better.

2011-08-14T18:12:00.000-07:00

3 Months Old

2011-07-25T17:45:00.000-07:00

Gabe is 3 months old today. He is making more noises and cooing a lot. He's pretty ticklish and I know he's going to laugh out loud soon. Gabe is such a happy baby!

Splish Splash Birthday Bash

2011-07-09T09:17:00.000-07:00

Happy 3rd Birthday to our little boy! I can't believe he's already 3! Getting so big, so fast.

Birthday Boy!

Speed Demons

2011-06-29T15:31:00.000-07:00

"Super" Speed Demon!

Gabe @ 2 Months Old

2011-06-28T14:55:00.000-07:00

Gabe had his 2 month check up today. He weighs 10lbs 7 oz and is 22 1/8 inches long. I'm not used to handeling this big chunk! Gabe is smiling up a storm and I love to watch him when he's grinning ear to ear.

Father's Day

2011-06-19T15:28:00.000-07:00

Adrian's first Father's Day as a dad of two!

Walking with Mommy

2011-06-12T13:09:00.000-07:00

Well I'm off and walking! I got released by the doc to start exercising so I've been going every morning that I can. The boys are doing great in the double jogger so far and I'm adjusting to pushing two.

Gabe's first ride. 7 weeks old.

Eli's first ride. 7 weeks old.

Gabe @ 6 Weeks Old

2011-06-11T10:58:00.000-07:00

Lampo Trip to Surfside

2011-06-06T14:43:00.000-07:00

Well it's getting harder and harder to get everybody together for a one week trip to the beach. This time we managed to get most of us there. We've been to Surfside twice (it's the only place we can find a house big enough to hold all of us), Port Aransas once and now back to Surfside. The mosquitoes ate us alive but we had a blast playing poker, eating, more poker, some beach and more eating!

This time we got smart and bought swimming pools for the little ones.

Shrimp boil...Lampo style.

One of our favorite night activities, crabbing. Eli caught two all by himself with his bare hands.

Brings back memories. That used to be me holding my daddy's hand.

Learning early!

Monica strikes a pose.

Gabe's first trip to the beach. He even managed to sleep through ALL the noise.

Eating at one of our favorite spots, Shrimp n' Stuff

Our handsome little man.

Gabe completes us! He is 6 weeks old today.

Taking in an IMAX at Moody Gardens

Even Gabe enjoyed the show.

Mawmaw and Pawpaw...the reason we're all here.

Goodbye Alex

2011-05-29T14:24:00.000-07:00

Our nephew Alex is leaving for the Air Force so we all got together to see him off. It was great to see everyone. With such a large family it's not often that we are all able to get together.

Testing out his new snorkel gear. He picked it out himself at Big Lots and we couldn't leave the store without it.

Abu and Adrian

Our nephew Domenick turned 15 last month. I can't believe it! He and Gabe share the same birthday.

Good luck Alex!

Willie and his fiancé, Cami.

1 Month Old

2011-05-25T14:07:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Gabe is already one month old. Time goes by so fast. I'm not sure how much he weighs but he is growing so fast that he's already out of preemie clothes (for the most part). Eli was in preemie clothes for at least two months. He is sleeping pretty good and eating every three hours like clock work.

Brotherly Love

2011-05-22T17:09:00.000-07:00

Gabe and Chase

2011-05-19T17:02:00.000-07:00

Playmates already. Chase and Gabe are 7 weeks apart.

First Few Weeks at Home

Mawmaw with greatgrandbaby #2.

Aunt Darleene is so happy that we had a boy. She has three boys of her own.

It's Mother's Day and look who's getting all the attention!

All ready to go home!

Easter

2011-04-24T14:55:00.000-07:00

Looking through all his goodies that the Easter Bunny left for him.

Ous last picture as a family of three. Gabe joins us tomorrow!

Getting Ready for Gabe

2011-04-23T14:21:00.000-07:00

Just a few more days and Gabe will be here! Eli is excited and talks a lot about his baby brother but has no idea how much his life is about to change.

Sitting in the middle of all the loot from the baby shower I was given at work. He wanted to open everything and claim it as his own...and so it begins.

It's hard to believe that Eli once fit in this carrier. They grow so fast!

First "Pishing" Trip

2011-04-09T11:41:00.000-07:00

We went to the George Bush Library to go "pishing" as Eli calls it. He has been wanting to fish for a while and we were finally able to go.

Kim and Maile

36 Weeks. Almost time!

Already look'n like a professional.

Our Not-So-Bluebonnet Pictures

2011-04-03T17:05:00.000-07:00

We went to Brenham bluebonnet hunting and didn't have much luck. They say that if there's not enough rain in the winter then the bluebonnets are scarce. This is the only little patch we could find. So pitiful. Better luck next time I guess.

Boys Love Their Mommys

2011-01-08T13:44:00.000-08:00

The kiddos in my class voted if they thought I was having a boy or a girl and we graphed it. Lots of boy votes!

And...It's a boy!

Eli is going to have a little brother.

Feliz Navidad

2010-12-26T14:15:00.000-08:00

Cassidy and Melissa

Cotton Bowl Bound

21 Weeks. We find out if it's a boy or a girl in two weeks!

Eli didn't understand why he couldn't eat the cookies.

Christmas Parade

2010-12-05T11:53:00.000-08:00

Puerto Rican Festival

2010-10-23T18:22:00.000-07:00

Adrian's mom has officially moved here from Puerto Rico and what do we do our first weekend together?...take her to a Puerto Rican Festival. Downtown Houston was packed with people celebrating their culture with food, live music, and dancing.

Puerto Rican delicacy.

We ran into an old family friend, Jose Cruz.

Preparing the popular Caribbean drink, Agua de Coco

It's not the same as on the island but it was close.

Adrian's sister, Dinorah.

12 weeks pregnant and already looking huge.

Beach Bums

2010-08-08T13:39:00.000-07:00

Although it's just Galveston, we are lucky to have the beach so close to us. Eli had never been to the beach before so we sprinted down to Galveston for a few days. He loved jumping in the waves and playing in the sand. Every now and then he'll ask if we're "going to the beach today." I wish every day was a beach day too Eli.

Our handsome beach boy.

Eli loved building sand (mud) castles with his daddy.

Look'n sharp in his guyabera, ready to go out.

"Where's Thomas?"

Getting some sweet treats in the old fashioned ice cream parlor.

"I'm worn out."

Flight Safety

2010-07-31T15:20:00.000-07:00

My Uncle Robby (who is obsessed with flying and has his license), cousins Kayley and Brandon, Adrian and I went down to Hobby Airport to "play" in the simulators. Adrian's brother is a flight instructor and let us take turns behind the wheel. Scary! We flew to New York and took a tour around Manhattan and to San Fransisco.

HUGE machines!

These screens could change the weather conditions, runway conditions, etc. We had fun messing with Brandon while he was flying. We gave him hail! (literally)

Brandon...about to crash into the Golden Gate Bridge.

Hold on! Kayley's in control.

Robby is in heaven.

Our Flight Attendant, Kayley.

The wrap around screen was so real and the movement was just like you're on a plane. Made my stomach turn a couple of times.

On the Boardwalk

2010-07-29T19:31:00.000-07:00

We took a spontaneous trip down to Kemah today. Kim, Adrian, and I and the 3 kiddos headed to the Boardwalk for a much needed break from Bryan.

All the kids in the back...and I mean ALL (look close!)

Cristiano is using his secret spy telescope to check out the sights.

Round and round we go!

Eli and Mommy riding the Aviator. I barely fit.
Up, up, and away!

Maile...racing to the finish on her beautiful horse.

Eli won a Scooby Do at one of the target shooting games.

Feeding and petting the stingrays.

Eli couldn't wait to ride the train. It's all he talked about the whole day.

Kim...screaming like a little girl on the kiddie ride. It was hilarious!

We finished with dinner and live music and made it home by midnight. Sweaty, sticky, and tired but it was worth it. The kids had a blast!

2010-07-28T19:15:00.000-07:00

Backyard Fun

2010-07-23T14:57:00.000-07:00

Eli's friends gave him this outdoor play house. They are too big for it now and knew it would be just his size. Thanks Maile and Cristiano!

Even Mommy fits inside.

Our little dare devil.

Potty Time!

2010-07-22T09:08:00.000-07:00

Eli is doing amazingly well with his new potty. He took an interest a few weeks ago and now we're in full potty training mode. He loves to read and he tells me to "go away" or "close the door" when he is doing his business. Hope it lasts!

Bombers Game

2010-07-17T09:21:00.000-07:00

Eli's first baseball game.

First encounter with Cookie Monster.

....hiding from Cookie Monster.

Little Miss Maile

"If Cristiano and Maile like Cookie Monster...then I guess I'll be ok".

Goooo Bombers!

Happy Birthday Eli

BALLOONS!

Eli was a little excited. Gifts were being ripped open before it was "present opening" time.

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Eli...Happy Birthday to you!

Blow!

Paige went BANANAS for Eli's party!

Eli has an obsession for trains so this was perfect.

Great Wolf Lodge

2010-07-04T18:39:00.000-07:00

There was no rain on our parade this weekend. We spent July 4th weekend at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Tx. It's an indoor (mostly) water park and resort for little and big kids. There was so much to do and it was a ton of fun! Eli had a smile on his face the entire time (unless we were taking him out of the water). Wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to go back.

Only a glimpse of the huge facility.

Eli's new found sport...soccer.

One of the highlights was the arcade. Now we know where all our money will go for the next 10 years or so. Wonderful...

It's the Ice Cream Man!

Like a kid in a candy store.

Birdie and Eli getting all wet in the Cub Paw Pool.

Big slide!

Bigger Slide!

Biggest Slide!!

Still smiling. Mommy was more afraid for me to go down the slides than I was.

Awwwooo!

His favorite game! It was like "It's A Small World at Disney." We did it over and over and over.

Big Bear Paw in front of the Sweet's and Treat's Shop.

I can't believe he's almost TWO!

All packed up and ready to go. Eli rode on the luggage cart. It's the only way we could get him to leave.

Great...

2010-06-26T18:30:00.000-07:00

Just what we need before vacation to a water park! No more basketball for 6 weeks...doctor's orders!

Father's Day

2010-06-20T10:21:00.000-07:00

Willie and Almayra came to visit today. Happy Father's day to you Willie!

Michael's B-day

2010-06-19T09:14:00.000-07:00

We headed to Clear Lake to surprise Michael for his 36th birthday. We went to his favorite place, Hooters (for the wings of course).

Hooters girls making Michael hula hoop while they sing happy birthday.

Next up, Adrian! Someone thought it would be funny to tell them it was his birthday too...which it wasn't.

The others thought it was hilarious of course and enjoyed touching his new hooters.

Kari, showing off her new shoes.

The almost newlyweds.

Fun in the Sun with Paige

2010-06-15T10:54:00.000-07:00

Paige invited Eli to come swim at Traditions pool. They played so well together. Definitely the beginning of a life-long friendship.

Little Miss Priss sunbathing. Too cute!

Eli is turing into a real waterbug!

Memorial Day Weekend

2010-05-29T19:15:00.000-07:00

We were in the water everyday over the 3 day weekend. Our time at the pool is so much different this year now that Eli can move around on his own. I figure it'll be about 8 more years until I can "lay out" at the pool again.

BBQ and pool time with friends Allen and Terri and their daughter Ariel.

Happy Easter everyone! Look what the Easter Bunny left for me!

Manny!! The Easter bunny knows me well!

Celebrating with the Lampo family at Christopher's. This is the first year in my entire life that we did not go out to Pawpaw's Country with the Patranella's for Easter. Kind of sad..it would have been Eli's first Easter egg hunt with all the kiddos.

Handsome little man.

Birthday Breakfast

2010-03-14T17:55:00.000-07:00

Call me a small town girl, but I've been dying to go to Cracker Barrel ever since it opened. So we celebrated my birthday with a big old fashioned breakfast.

Say It Ain't Snow!

2010-02-23T14:32:00.000-08:00

My students were climbing the walls and begging to go outside.

So, we went outside.

My Student teacher Kate. We watched the weather all day hoping they got it right this time.

Eli was at the door saying snow, snow, snow. So we finally let him go out and...he didn't like it. But he warmed up to it eventually.

Down, Set, Hut!

Shopping Fun

2010-02-07T14:23:00.000-08:00

As you can see, Grandpa was in charge of entertaining Eli while we shopped at The Container Store. And yes, that is the display!

Weeeeee!
Needless to say, Eli had a blast.

Ba Pac... Ba Pac

2010-01-14T14:13:00.000-08:00

Eli loves his new backpack. He carries it around and says Ba Pac over and over. He's even learned how to open it up in search of his "crackies." I am already imagining his first day of Kindergarten with his real backpack on. It will be here before I know it.

Welcome 2010

Finally walking

My favorite gift. No more tears!

Christmas with the Lampo's

2009-12-24T08:30:00.000-08:00

Nona and Pawpaw gave me this cool car.

It's my favorite Christmas present ever! They can't get me off of it!

Playing with all of my cousins, well... second cousins.

Our family

Santa's Town

2009-12-19T19:18:00.000-08:00

Papa, Mommy, G.G. and I are cuddled up by the fire watching Elvis.

What does he mean...he ain't nothin' but a hound dog? He's not a dog.

Playing in the snow with Grandpa.

Adrian's first Funnel Cake.

First Haircut

2009-12-19T18:49:00.000-08:00

I finally got my hair cut today. Mommy said my hair wasn't manageable anymore (whatever that means) and that I had wings growing behind my ears.

I wasn't scared at all! I sat in the seat like a big boy and Wanna went to town. She did a great job.

All done!

I even got this certificate.

New Tree Décor

2009-12-05T07:50:00.000-08:00

I like to play in the Christmas tree but Mommy always tells me "No!" So this morning, I decided to add my own decorations. What do you think? A toy themed tree!

Pawpaw's Country

Playing around in Pawpaw's BIG tractor.

Trick-or-Treat!

2009-10-31T19:17:00.000-07:00

Can you tell what I am? I'm a fierce fiery dragon! Don't I look tough?

I went to Nonna and Pawpaw's to trick-or treat.

Nonna gave me this train! Choo! Choo!

Then I went to my other great-grandparent's house, G.G. & Papa.

Aye Aye Captain!

Wow! This dragon is way bigger than me!

Dig'n through Aunt Cherry's treats...so much to choose from.

Gaammmpa

2009-10-24T16:20:00.000-07:00

Weeee! Weeeee!

Daddy got on the swings with me too!

I found this thing at the hotel that blows air in my face. Way cool!

Double fist'n french fries!

Me and Birdie

Mommy and Daddy

We went to The Dallas World Aquarium.

There were all kinds of pretty birds but this one was my favorite.

Uncle Matt and Daddy...Silly guys!

This thing was weird...

It moved soooo slow.

Uncle Matt, Birdie and Grandpa.

Wow! Would you look at the size of those hooters?

This huge fish almost ate me!

Happy 1st Baby Boy!

Today is Eli's first birthday! I can't believe he's already one year old! Family and friends came to help us celebrate. I know Eli won't remember this day but hopefully these pictures will help create a memory for him. Happy Birthday Eli!

The 4th at Del Lago

2009-07-05T11:26:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th at Del Lago on Lake Conroe. The hotel was great, the pools were great and we all had a wonderful time. We ate, and ate, and ate some more...played in the pool and relaxed. It was short but it was our first vacation as a family.

View from our room.

They have a pool just my size!

Pooped from all that swimming!

There wasn't a bath tub in the room so I took a shower with Daddy.

Watching my first fireworks display. I wasn't scared at all!

Happy 4th!

Unfortunately Daddy is in Puerto Rico for his special day. But I wanted to let him know how much I love him anyway! Happy Father's Day Daddy! See you soon!

11 Months Old

2009-06-11T18:08:00.000-07:00

I am 11 months old today. Time flies! Mommy and Daddy are having a really hard time feeding me. I still don't like anything chunky in my mouth. I grab the spoon and like to rub my food all over my face and head. Tonight...I went straight to the bath!

Little Fish

2009-06-07T18:53:00.000-07:00

Hang'n out poolside.

I wasn't sure what to think when I first got in the pool. I was kicking and screaming but I think I have the hang of it now.

This is fun! I could stay in here all day!

Paige's 1st Birthday

2009-06-06T18:37:00.000-07:00

Paige had her 1st birthday party today.

Hey Paige! Open mine! It's the one with the monkies on it.

Paige and her Mommy- Jennifer

Paige and Grace wanted me to get in the stroller so they could push me around but strollers are for girls!
