My Birthday.

Yep! It was that time of year again when you have a right of passage and you turn a year older!! Well I turned 30 yrs old on May 22, 2008. And I can say that I feel wiser in some areas. I feel great physically and emotionally. I can say that their are times that I want to scream of frustration because of things that my kids do but I have learned to be more patient and caring towards others and I'am proud of myself for those accomplishments. I can't believe that I'am 30!!!! But life is good and it has its ups and downs put that's why we are here for to be tested and to progress.

PreSchool Graduation 2008






Kaylee had her Preschool Graduation on May 22, 2008. It was such a cute graduation. Her teacher is such a dedicated person, She has a homebased preschool that she runs from her basement. She has a whole area set-up as a little school and I loved it for Kaylee and she also loved the experience of going to school each morning and having friends. I think I will enroll Braden with Ms.Debbie next year when Braden will be 4 yrs.old.

Fun in the Sun!





On Tuesday of this week we had the highest temp. of the spring. It ended being 94 degrees and it was HOTTT. Then the next day the temp. went down to 56 degress, I believe. Our wonderful Utah weather which I'am tired of right now. We are 1 week away frm the month of June and it is still cold (I can't believe this). Anyway I decided to let the kids play outside and get wet with the sprinklers. They had alot of fun in the sun. They even were able to play with their cousin who lives next door to us. Here are some pictures.

Braden's 3rd Birthday






Yesterday was my baby's 3rd birthday. I can't believe he is already 3 yrs old. I remember the day I was hospitalized with complications due to my pregnancy, I had to endure 1 1/2 months in the hospital and finally delivering my baby boy via c-section after all that time of uncertainty. I remember he was only 2 lbs and so fragile but here he is today a very healthy and smart little boy. I took him all this time to a Neonatal followup program were they see kids that were born prematurely and finally in April he graduated the program because he is doing excellent in everything. We have been so blessed with this little boy that the Lord send into our family.
So, yesterday we had a family gathering to sing Happy Birthday to him and open some presents. Here are some of the pictures of the little party!!

Luis and Yesenia's One Year Anniversary




This is my brotherLuis and my mom

Yesterday the 18th of May was my brother and sister-in-laws one year Anniversary. They decided to make a barbecue for the family to celebrate. Now that they live in a bigger apartment they were really excited to have everyone over. They used to live in a one bedroom matchbox (literally). But now they are doing better in the jobs and Luis is one year away of graduating with a Bachelors in Mechanic Engineering. I'am so proud of him!! (my little brother). Well anyway as a hispanic tradition we freeze the leftovers of our wedding cake and eat it at our 1st Anniversary. So we had so much cake leftover from their wedding that we froze it and ate yesterday. It may sound gross to some of you but actually it tasted fresh and really yummy. So we ate dinner and then had cake.

My Nephew Carlos's Birthday





Friday was Carlos's birthday, he turned 11 years old. Man, am I getting old!!. Well he had a play over with his friends till 11 pm. But the family got together and we chatted and ate sandwiches and cake. The cake was so good. It was a Tres Leches (three milks cake).

More Pictures!!





Disney Vacation






I've been having problems adding a slideshow, that's why the delay. But hopefully it will work this time. I'am going to try to add the slideshow now and write alittle about it. Well our vacation was really fun. We went to Disneyland and California Adventures for 3 days and also went to Longbeach and the Aquarium of the Pacific. The kids behaved amazingly well. They did not complain at all about the long trip. I also wanted to visit Los Angeles and see the Hollywood sign. And maybe see a "Celebrity" (But we had no luck) we really didn't know where to go, we did see the HOllywood sign but that was about it. There was alot of traffic because we where nearing the rush hour. So we decided to head back to Anaheim and go in to Disney for one last time. I hope you enjoy the pictures!!
