Spring Break!!

Well just thought I would take a little time to blog about how my week was going. We started off the week by going to Mexico, it was ok, the weather didn't help much because it was raining and everything was wet and muddy. So we went to church Sunday night and had dinner with my inlaws...then the next morning we had breakfast with my inlaws and came back to TX. It was a long day b/c we spent most of the day on the road, the line at the bridge was 2 hours long and so it was about a 5 hour drive! Hard on me and the kids! So anyways, I've had a good week with the kids, didn't take them anywhere extravagant but I have dedicated most of my day to them and took them to the park and out to eat several times, mostly so they can play in the indoor playgrounds. It's been fun to sit back and just watch them play and see how God has been blessing my life with them, sometimes you just get caught up with life and all the problems it has for us that you don't have time for that. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I ever take them for granted, I don't. If anything I thank God for them because I know that at any moment they can be taken from me. I realize that they are a gift from God, believe me I've had one taken from me at 36 weeks pregnant, my first born little girl, I could never take them for granted, but I thank God for little reminders, daily of His amazing mercy for my husband and I. And for giving me the ability to stay home and enjoy the time I have with them. Here a couple pix of my kids while eating at burger king this week.































Anyways I'll post more pix from spring break later...I was also having some huge laughs this morning with these Jay Leno Photo Booth Pranks...you have to watch! Enjoy....

Vianney's Birthday!

Yep, my big girl is 5 years old...I can't believe she is so grown up already. I thank God so much for her, she is becoming my best friend these days, she is everything a mother wants from her daughter...I hope it stays this way, lol! From her attitude to her wining it's just cute! She is my little helper and my smartest child at the moment. Her teacher said she is one of the smartest in her class, so that makes me proud...she loves her sister and brothers and protects them in any way she can, she also likes to act like their mommy. So for her birthday (Sunday the 8th of March) Her daddy and I sent her balloons to school on friday, that was a big hit! And I made some cone cupcakes to take to Sunday school for her and told her we would make a party towards the end of march. She was ok with that, but I think she really enjoyed her "little party" in church, so I'm thinking of bailing out on that other party...lol. Here are a couple pix...
Getting home from school with her balloons.

At home just before blowing out the candles.


All-in-all, I just want to say "Vianney, I love you mija" I thank God for you everyday. You have brought many blessings to our lives, may God continue to bless you and guide you in his path...and may you have many more birthdays yet to come...

March maddness!!

Sooo, I feel like the days are flying!!! But I thought I would take a little time to sit and type...I just had to mention my adventures with my kids at the dentist! I admit...it had been over a year since I had taken them and I need to take them every six months...and I had made them appointments but for one reason or another we couldn't go so here we go finally going to the dentist. Well first I decided to take my babies...and they were completely traumatized with the dentist! Yelling and screaming like there was no tomorrow! I was so embarrassed but what could you do, then my baby girl Brianna had a cavity...I still think it was candy in the grooves of her teeth...but anyhow they decided to fix it on the spot and let me tell you, it took 3 assistants and the dr to hold her down! I was very glad he didn't send her to a specialist to be knocked out for something so minor...any ways here is a picture...



She was a bit calm after wards with all the stickers and toothbrushes and lollipops they gave her! I hope she does better in 6 months! Then a couple days later I took the big kids and well, I think lil' Hector was more scared than Brianna! He eventually let them take x-rays but we had a tough time with him and the cleaning. Vianney on the other hand was a champ! She did well, until lil' Hector scared her, but after a bit she was fine...here is a pic of her...



Other than that choir has been going great, haven't had a chance to take pix, but I will soon, and at missionettes too.
Hector was home for almost 3 weeks then he went to Denver and back and he is leaving again tomorrow, thank God when there is work! But I still get super lonely when he's not around...but what can you do. God is with us and will never leave!
