Christmas Card Photos

Thank you Joel Flory for the amazing family photos. We don't have any other good shots of the whole family actually looking at the camera with a pleasant face.

Park Rockin' with Mima and Papa

My parents came into town and took the boys to the park. A perfect opportunity to practice the glide cams. Also, Milo helped me make this video. He seriously sat in a chair for nearly an hour and gave me suggestions. It was awesome. I have never been so proud.

Curtis

My Glide Cams...

Boys in the Backyard from curtis nemetz on Vimeo.

I got some glide cams a couple of days ago and am trying to master them. Here is some video I shot of the family this morning. It has been amazing so far using these but I am also realizing how weak I am. My arm was shaking after 3 minutes. I guess Travis and I are going to have to hit the weights from now until next year's wedding season.

new pics

kind of random, but here are some new pictures. One more month of wedding season and then I am going to be a blogging machine.

Git Er Done...

We took our chitlin's down to the Kern County Fair. We watched Kelly Pray chase some cows on her horse and I (Curtis) almost got in a fist fight with a 60 year old lady... she was really tough. I ate a $6 cinabon that Nick Chapman bought me and a 32 ounce Coors Light. Heluva night.
If you see Milo ask him about the Pig sleepin' in his bowl

Feeling SO emo...

Man Bakersfield Makes us Soooooo EMo. Its just such an urban canvas for our deep rooted depression. Who even cares?

Our Little baby is ONE!!!

and our other baby is TWO. It really does go by quickly. More pictures to come for Auntie Kik in Portland and Uncle Joe in El Slavador. Quick note: Milo thinks that Uncle Joe lives on the Island of Sodor, the home of Thomas the Train, because it sounds like El Salvador. Joe, Milo now thinks you live on the coolest place on earth.

"I'm black..."

Not to get all "After school special" on everyone but...

Milo and I were reading a Thomas the Train book today called "Green Train, Blue Train". After we finished the book I asked Milo which train was blue. He answered "Thomas". I asked him which train was green. He answered "Percy".
He then looked at a picture of his cousin Madeira in the hallway and asked me "what color is Dooda?"
I said "I don't know Milo what color is Dooda?" He answered "She's blue."
"Oh" I said, "what color is Milo?"
He looked down at his black shirt and answered, "I'm black."
"And what color is calvin?"
Milo looked at Calvin walking around in a blue shirt and answered, "He's blue too."

Vali is Pregnant Again...

And in celebration I thought I would post some pictures of our two little nuggets. Enjoy.

4th and a blog entry finally

Catching up...

Sorry its been so long. Here is a funny comparison of the boys then and now. Calvin is anxious to catch up to his big brother... and unfortunately is already trying to walk. Crazy kid.

Brian Cambier Wedding

For those of you who know Brian Cambier and would like to see a highlights video from his wedding week in Hawaii... please look at www.cnproductions.blogspot.com to check it out.

Promised Movie... For Nay Oh Me

Here it is. Enjoy.

Video coming soon...

Hey all,
I am putting together a video (finally) of our kids new accomplishments. Calvin can crawl and Milo can count to ten (english and spanish). They are also really good at crypt walking.
Check in soon.

Yuppieville

It's like no matter how hard you try you are destined to become a Yuppie. It is for that reason that Vali and I strapped on the Rollerblades and cruised the gated community. We are going to try and Roller blade with the kids every night as our form of exercise. Hopefully Vali will get a little better so we can pass the brisk walk pace. If you look closely you can see Milo saying, "Hey drop me off over there and pick me up when you are done".

(poor picture quality was intentional for true Yuppie effect)

Ready for Action...

Milo is ready to fight Terror and find Weapons of Mass Destruction. Go Bush!

Picture Update

Calvin and his best friend Brady (don't call him BJ) Pray. We have loved hanging out with the Pray family. I am guessing they don't have a blog because they haven't even hooked up to the world wide intraweb yet.

I made Milo and Calvin match the other day when we went to church. Vali was mad but I thought it was great. Thanks MAMA C for the complimenting outfit for Calvin.

We gave Calvin his first taste of food... Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. He loved that action.

Only in Bako...

...can you drive a dirt bike in the backyard with your 1 year old on your lap.
Reasons this is okay:
1. The grass dies in the winter here in Bako
2. There are no rules in Bako
3. Burning of Fossil Fuels in any way is encouraged and rewarded in Bako
4. When your kid turns 2 they get their own Dirt Bike in Bako

Big Boys

We went to the doctor. Turns out not only are both our boys HUGE but they also have really big heads. The doctor said so.

Wide Angle Nose

I got a new wide angle lens for my camera.
It really brings out the Portuguese in our kid's noses.
