Ensign Peak "Salt Lake City"

This weekend we went on a hike to Ensign Peak. This hike is located behind the State Capitol Building. It was an easy hike, it lasted for about 1 hour going up and down. The kids really enjoyed it. There were awesome views of the valley. We then went to the Farmer's Market and bought some fruit, kettlecorn and ate lunch at the park. We later went to the Roy Aquatic Center for some swimming fun and ate dinner at Costa Vida. It was a day full of activity and fun. The kids really enjoyed themselves.

Summer!!

Not too much to say about summer so far. We have been working and just hanging out. Haven't done that much just relax at home, play, go to the movies, eat, exercise, shop and hopefully we will be going to Lagoon in the beginning of August. We are going to hike Ensign Peak on saturday and then go to the Farmer's Market at Pioneer Park in Downtown. I will make sure I bring my camera because we need to take some new pictures. Haven't done that lately. We have been to the Roy Aquatic center twice and have played with friends. I guess we have had a fun relaxing summer. We have been working on our basement for the past couple of months, hopefully by the end of the year we will be done with it and then we can take a nice vacation.

Kindergarten Graduation!

So Braden graduated from Kindergarten. His teacher was Miss Williams, she had been a great kindergarten teacher for both Kaylee and now Braden. This school year that just ended Braden has learned alot of things. He finished all 50 skill sets and he learned all 11 giraffe word lists. He is such a smart kid. I love him so much. He will miss his friends for school. Already looking forward to 1st grade.

Father's and Sons Campout

This year Jorge and Braden went to the Annual Father's and Sons campout in Camp Woodland, Morgan. The weather has not been cooperating this year but Friday turned out to be a pretty good day to go camping. The only down side to it was that it was very cold at night. The camp was only a overnighter but they had fun playing, and enjoying each others company. Great memories for both of them. I love my two boys.

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.
