Race Car

This year in First Grade kaylee had to make a race car out of a cardboard box. She needed to be able to ride in it through a race track that the 1st grade teachers where going to have for the kids. Jorge helped preparing her car and she loved it.

My Boy is 6!

Thursday May 19, Braden turned 6 yrs old. How time has gone by so quickly. He is such an amazing kid. I love him so much. He is our little miracle baby because he was 11 weeks premature. But here he is healthy as ever and growing like a weed. We love his sweet spirit, he is smart, handsome, caring, and really loves his mama. next year he will be in 1st grade already. He loves to read and torment his OLDER sister. I know deep down they love each other but somedays I can say that it doesn't seem that way. I remember when I used to fight and argue with my siblings, so I know its a normal thing that all kids go through. We celebrated his birthday with 7 of his good friends yesterday. It was fun to have all these loud, energetic boys over for a party.

We also took Braden to "TGIF" FRIDAYS for dinner on the day of his birthday. He ate all his dinner and the waiters brought him some ice cream and sang to him.

Mother's day!

This year our weekends have been so busy with the basement and other projects around the house. For Mother's Day I was very surprised. Since the beginning of the week the kids have been giving me little gifts that they have done in school. Braden made some flowers out of scrapbook paper and he put them inside a pot with beans, I loved it. Kaylee made a couple of bookmarks for me and a magnet that says LOVE. I appreciate the teachers that put so much effort and ideas on Mother Day gifts. Then on Friday afternoon Jorge and the kids surprised me with more gifts. I got a beutiful blouse, lotions and body sprays and a dozen red roses, then they took me to Tony Burgers in Centerville to eat dinner. I am so fortunate to have 2 wonderful kids and that are so loving and caring. But sometimes can be disobedient and fight all the time with each other (who said being a mother was easy). It all comes with the package. I love my husband dearly and thanks to him we have an eternal family.

On sunday the 10th we went over my mom's house to have dinner with the whole family, we gave each other little gifts that were inexpensive but were needed. I love my mom and her example that she has given me through out the years. I love my sister and sister in laws that show me how to be a great mom. I also love my mother in law, I can honestly say that I have a great relationship with her and I consider her a second mother.

New Laminate Floors

Friday and Saturday we put in laminate floors in our kitchen and dining area. The job was hard to do, specially when we didn't know what to do and had to basically teach ourselves how to do it. My brother in law (Jorge) helped us on Saturday and since he knew what to do it went more quickly. We ended up finishing up at around 10pm on saturday. We still have to install the molding. I think our hard work was worth it, the floors look very nice and clean. I really like it.
