Part Time Job

Yesterday I received a call from my job offering me a more permanent position either full time or part time. It seems that the logged in position that I have currently will no longer be available next year so they are converting all logged in interpreters into full time or part time interpreters with a fixed schedule. Since I still have braden in Kindergarten I will be working part time, it will not be that big of a change from the times that I work currently. My new schedule will be M-F from 9am-1pm. The only difference is that it will be fixed, therefore I will not be able to log off whenever I want to. I will need to work 4 hrs everyday at exactly those times. I actually have been praying alot for my job to give me some new opportunities to earn more money, and I feel that this has been the answer to my prayers. I will be earning more cause I will be working more plus just about 1 week ago braden's school started to offer kindergartens to take the bus after school. So that is another bonus cause I won't need to pick him up from school. Everything has fallen into place and hopefully this change will take effect beginning next year.

Pumpkin Patch

This year we went to J and J nursery for their hayride and pumpking patch. They were offering all for free. There was no wait at all, we spend maybe 30 min there and came out with our 2 big pumpkins. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. We cannot ask for better weather this fall season. It will all come to an end soon. But we need to take advantage of it. Hopefully Halloween will be this nice so the kids can actually show their costumes without having to wear a coat. I will post some pictures soon. Once I figure out how to download them from my phone.

No Camera

I have no camera therefore no posts. Our camera stopped working after kaylee's birthday party. We need to get a new one. That is the reason why I haven't posted anything new because we don't have a decent camera. I couldn't either take any decent picture of the Pyppy that we had for one week. I took some of him with my celphone but its not the same. Yes people we got a puppy his name was Danner and he was a Labrador/Golden Retriever mix. He was very cute and cuddly but it was too much work. He only lasted for one week in our home. We really loved him and we all cried when I gave him to some lady but I felt good with the decision. Jorge was very heartbroken but he will be okay. I felt very overwhelmed and stressed. Hopefully we will get a camera soon so that I can start taking pictures and posting.

Kaylee's Birthday party






On saturday we celebrated Kaylee's birthday with the family. I made the cake, which took me 2 days to make. And for any of you that would ever want to try making a fondant cake? Its harder that it looks. Making the fondant is easy the hard part is flatting it out on the counter and then grabbing it and putting it over the cake. So many things can happen while transfering it from counter to cake. But it turned out as good as it can be for a beginner. It is my first cake with fondant. We had a great time with family, we always do. Lately we have had so many family activities that its just doesn't feel right if we are not together. We laugh and joke alot and it makes up for a great time.

Black Bears!









This year kaylee is playing soccer with the Syracuse city league, we wanted her with AYSO like Braden but when we registered Braden she was not interested. She then became interested in playing knowing that her cousin, brother and some of her friends where playing soccer as well. So we eventually registered her into the city league. Hopefully next year we can do AYSO in the spring. Yesterday she had her 2nd game and they won 3-0. They all did wonderful. Kaylee even almost scored a goal, I am so proud of her. She had come a long way in soccer. Yesterday she proved that she is learning the game and what to do with the ball. She was goalie as well and caught all the goals that the other team where attempting in getting in. I am looking forward to watch her future games.

Kaylee's 7th Birthday





The kids in Kaylee's class asked her questions.


This is a poster kaylee did she was the Class Clown for one week.

This morning when she was opening her presents.




On a day like today Kaylee was born. I remember how my water broke at 34 weeks. I was so nervous that something would be wrong with her. She was only 6 weeks early and I had her via C-section. She ended up staying at the hospital for 1 week just to make sure she was fine. Then I brought that little bundle of joy into our home and I fell in love all over again. She is the best daughter anyone can have. She is a great sister, she is my helper in the kitchen, she is always happy and very caring and loving towards others. She loves to shop and to wear skirts and dresses. She is my girlie girl. I love her so much. She is 7 today but is so excited for next year when she will be turning 8 and getting baptized. She loves the Savior and loves to go to Primary to learn about the Gospel. This morning we gave her some gifts and then we took some cupcakes into her class at school. It has been a fun day for her today.

California Rolls



Okay, so this is my second attempt in making sushi. I have learned to love sushi. During the summer my nephew Jorge found a recipe for the California Rolls. We went to the store bought all the ingredients and made them together, they were delicous. Last week I had a craving so I made some on my own and they turned out pretty good. Here is the final product.
