Spring Soccer





Braden started playing soccer again with the same team he had in the Fall. He plays with AYSO League. He really enjoys playing even if he is still learning what to do. He loves to run up and down the field. He is playing soccer with his good friend Ty.

New House!!!






My parents built a new house in West Haven and we moved them in on Friday and Saturday. They are so happy with their new house. It is gorgeous. I absolutely love it. I hope someday I can own a house like this one. Here are some pictures of the house. Nielson Homes did a great job in building their house. They love their neighborhood and their new ward.

Josh Grban!!


So Josh Groban is coming to Salt lake city in August 13,2011. I started liking him a few years ago when he released his Awake cd. I had the priviledge of going to his concert in 2009 for the Awake Tour. Now he released a new cd "Illumunations" and he is going in tour again. Ofcourse I wanted to go again. So we got the tickets a few days ago and I am so excited. We were thinking of getting the lower bowl tickets but they were kind of pricey. So I settled in getting the best seats available in the upper bowl. I think they are pretty good seats just not very close but we will be able to see the stage pretty good. I know that it doesn't matter where we sit we will enjoy the music and the effect of the concert.

In the remodeling Mood!

Okay, so we have a couple of projects in the works for our house. We are finishing our basement (finally it was about time). It has been a slow process but we are getting there. We have also purchased laminate floors for our kitchen and dining, tile for our 2 main entrance to the house. We have so many plans for improving our home that we are so excited to begin. I will be posting pictures as we finish our projects. I think we are starting on the floor next weekend. Hopefully by the end of the year we are planning in getting new appliances for our kitchen and new counter tops.

Getaway!!!!!











This last weekend we went to Logan for a little getaway. We stayed at the Crystal Inn in Logan. We had dinner the first night at Hamilton Steak House. Jorge went there a few months ago with his work. He loved the place and has wanted to take me since then. We finally made it and went and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Its a very nice place with really good steak. The kids ate all their food, they loved it as well. After dinner it was snowing alot!!! We arrived at the hotel and went swimming with the kids for about 2 hours. We were able to go with our friends The Gonzales's. They meet us there and stayed at the same hotel as us, our rooms were right next to each other. The next day we went to the Hardware Ranch to see the Elk. We have never been there and the Gonzalez's had been there before and they told us about it. We were amazed at how big the Elk are and how many there were. The day was beautiful, the skies were blue and the contrast with the white snow it just looked stunning. Eventhough a snow storm went through the night before the weather was excellent Saturday. After Hardware Ranch we went to eat lunch at The Blue Bird Grill in Downtown Logan. The food was very good and their rolls are to die for. Then we headed home for my mom's 60th birthday surprise party. It was just alittle party with all the kids. She was very surprised and happy. We had a good time eating cake and ice cream. All in all we had a very relaxing weekend and we enjoyed ourselves. We loved the hotel, it was clean, the rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was good.

Too Busy

I started working on the 10th of January as a part time interpreter. I now have a fixed schedule of 9am-1pm Monday through Friday. I am really liking this schedule. It lets me send the kids to school with no problem and at the same time be home when they get home from school. I know that summer will be alittle tricky to keep the kids entertained during those hours but it will be okay, and the extra money is great. We have so many projects that we want to accomplish and now we will be able to. We first want to finish our basement (this is priority) and then maybe replace the flooring of the kitchen, dining room. Hopefully we will be able to put laminate floors and also paint kaylee's room and redecorate her whole room. She will be 8 yrs old this year and will get baptized. I can't believe this year she will become an official Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She is so excited. We are planning to take her to her first Conference session this October. We are excited for this new year that has started with all the positive changes we have had as a family. Looking forward to accomplish all the projects that we want to do.

Braden lost his first tooth about 2 weeks ago. The new tooth was already growing behind the old one and finally it was loose enough to pull it out. I had the priviledge of pulling the tooth out and now the new tooth is moving forward to its place.

Jorge got a new job with the church. He is a Specialist International Print Planning and will be working in the Church Office Building. We are excited because he will be incharge of the International Printing and will have the opportunity to travel to other countries to supervise the printing of church products.

Monster Trucks Show!






We've been wanting to take the kids to a Monster Truck show for awhile now because Braden loves the trucks and he has several toy trucks that he plays with. So today we went to the show in the afternoon. The kids didn't know where we were going so it was a surprise for them. When we told them about the show this is how braden reacted.


Kaylee and Braden

The show was very good entertainment for the whole family. We are glad that we took the kids to it. Even our niece from Venezuela (Jessica) came with us because she has never seen such thing. She enjoyed it alot as well.
