Water Games



Today my sister invited me to go to the clearfreld aquatic center. We packed up the kids in her new Durango and we left at about 12:30pm. We had tons of fun in the pools.




We were there for about an hour not too much. But I'am thinking of putting the kids in swimming lessons in about a couple of weeks so that they can learn and be more independent. They were really good about keeping their floaties on and staying close to me.

Jorge's Birthday Today!!!


Today my dear husband is turning a year older. He will be 34 yrs old. Today I decided to buy him some ballons and I put them in his car so that when he arrived from his carpool he could be surprised. I'am making him a cheesecake and his mom is cooking him his favorite dish and we will have some family over to sing happy birthday to him. About 2 weeks ago I gave him a new guitar for his birhtday (it was an early present). He loves to play, and he is very talented. He already owns 2 electric guitars, 1 acostic guitar plus the one he got and a set of drums and 2 amplifiers plus other equipment to go with all this. He loves music and is good at playing and singing.

Fun in the Sun





Today decided to get the kids a pool for the backyard. Toys R Us has a sale on their pools so we went there today to buy the pool. My mom came with us and we made a date out of this outing. My mom just recently came back from Puerto Rico. She ended up going because my granpa fell and fractured his Femur so they needed her help for about 3 weeks. But now because of his injuries they are going to move here and live with my parents, so that my mom can help them with whatever they need. Anyway, back to our day. We bought the pool and the kids ofcourse had to see every single toy in the store, afterwards we were hungry so we ate lunch at the mall. We got home and started inflating the pool, it took about an hour to do. So the kids ended up going in around 4pm. So I decided to make some hamburgers for dinner on the grill and we ate outside on our patio table and made a family night out of this whole evening.

Great Friends

Yesterday we had dinner with Spencer and arianna Uminski. They are moving to Idaho this coming weekend and decided to get together one last time in their house before moving. We have become good friends with this family. They live in our subdivision and therefore go to our ward. Spencer and Jorge are in the Sunday School presidency and they play soccer together. We are going to miss them alot. We are looking at going down to Idaho for the 4th of july to spend time with them and to see some great Fireworks in Idaho Falls (that's what arianna tells me). I wish we had pictures of them but i don't. Arianna took some pictures of the kids so hopefully she will give me some copies.

Castle Park




Yesterday I decided to take the kids to a park that's located in the city of Kaysville. It's a public park but the cool thing is that its a castle, with swings, slides, and bridges to climb and alot of fun things to do. The kids really had lots of fun. We even invited my niece Daniela to come with us. After the park we went to buy some donuts at Bowmans Market, I think they have the best supermarket donuts. But it was a not so hot day to have fun in the park.

Memorial Day 2008


On Memorial day it was raining. We didn't have any big plans, but we were thinking whoever had plans for this weekend, they were ruined. I don't remember if we have ever had a rainy memorial day weekend until this year. Anyways, we have a tradition just like almost any american of going to the cemetery and take flowers to our family members that have died. The only family member that we have here is our precious Brianna. Brianna was my first baby that I lost 6 yrs ago in August of 2002. So we bought her some pretty purple mums and took them to her graveside.

I'am still here


Hello there!! I have neglected all of you. Sorry about that. Well, new posts are coming soon. We have been in a lazy stage. Now that summer is starting (not oficially) but we are close to summer we are getting the hang of things. With Kaylee now home with us everyday, I need to start my creative side of the brain. I started working early in the mornings so that I can have the rest of the days free with the kids. So by the time 12 noon comes around I'am tired. But hopefully my body can get use to the time change since now I'am waking up at 5:30am and I used to wake up at 7:30am. But it's all good. So if you guys have any suggestions about inexpensive places that I can take my kids to, let me know please in the comment section of this post. Love you all. Take care.
