Our Cute little Family picture, and very excited kids because of the presents under the tree!!!





Mis tres hijos preciosos.



My three very cute babies







Regalos, Regalos, Regalos!!!!



Presents, Presents, Presents!!!







...Y porque esta mi Andrew tan trizte?


...And why is Andrew so sad?





La respuesta es que a Andrew le dieron de regalo un Tranformer y papi y tio Mark le quitarn el juguete para jugar con el y cambiarlo de forma. Ya se que darle a Brian de regalo para el dia del padre!!! :)

The answer is that Andrew got a Transformer for christmas and as you can see Brian and Mark took his little toy to play with it and they were having a lot of fun putting it together. Now I know what to get for Brian for fathers day!!! :)

Siempre Extrañamos mucho a mi familia, pero la Navidad siempre es la temporada mas dificil, desearia no estar tan lejos de ustedes, y poder compartir de estas fiestas juntos. Pero para toda mi familia y amigos recuerden siempre que los llevamos muy dentro de nuestros corazones y pensamos a cada momento en ustedes. Deseamos que pasen una muy FELIZ NAVIDAD y un PROSPERO AÑO NUEVO!!, los queremos muchisisisisisisisimo, besitos a todos.
I always miss my family, but Christmas time is very hard for me, to that add the weather, so nice in Colombia, so cold here, the food, I miss our Christmas food, but specially spending time with my family and friends and the look in their faces when my kids are around , yes I miss them very, very, very much.
Merry Christmas to all of my family and friends here, you really make it easier for me, I LOVE YOU ALL !!!

FELIZ NAVIDAD!! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Vanessa en su concierto ayer, si ponen cuidado escucharan a Brian cantando tambien el es que esta haciendo el video, y luego cuando los niños empiezan a cantar Vanessa es la que canta mas duro. Todavia se me hace dificil creer que mi bebe esta tan grande. FELIZ NAVIDAD A TODOS!!! (para escuchar el video tienen que poner pausa en mi lista de canciones).

Vanessa had her Christmas concert yesterday at the school, It was adorable, and if you pay attention you will hear Brian singing along, he had the camera and was taking the video, then when the kids stared singing you will notice that Vanessa was the laudest of them all. It was the most adorable thing I've seen this christmas so far, those kids did a fantastic job. and I still can't believe that my baby looks so big already.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

(To listen to the video you need to pause my play list).

Visitando a Santa!! Visiting Santa!!

La semana pasada fuimos a visitar a Santa, los niños hablaron con el y le dijeron que era lo que querian para Navidad, tambien llevamos comida para las personas que han sido menos afortunados que nosotros. La cara de mis hijos se ilumino cuando vieron a Santa sentado esperando por ellos, la verdad la incencia de los niños es lo mas lindo que puede haber.

Last week we went to see Santa, he came to Meredith and we also brought some can food for the food pantry, the kids got very excited to see Santa, I love to see how innocent kids are. :)

Preparandonos para la Navidad!!! Getting ready for Christmas!!!



Anoche para la Noche de Hogar organizamos nuestro arbol de Navidad, es increible como pasa el tiempo de rapido. Los extrañamos mucho a todos en casa, quisiera estar con ustedes en esta navidad y poder disfrutarla con toda mi familia y amigos. Los niños estan muy contentos, se sientan al frente de nuestro arbol y se quedan mirando las luces por una largo tiempo. Ya les enviare mas fotos en cuanto pueda. Los amo mucho a todos y disfruten de estas fiestas.

I can't believe is that time of the year already, last night we put the Christmas tree together for FHE and we had a little talk with the kids about the true meaning of Christmas, we had a lot of Fun.
I miss my family and friends, we don't get presents in Colombia, all we do is spend Christmas and new years together as families, it is so much fun. I hope some day I'll be able to be with them for Christmas again, I'm sure my kids would have a blast.



El mejor regalo que he recivido en mi vida han sido mis bebes.

My best present ever, My Babies.

Juntos!!! Still Together!!


Esa primera cancion que suena en my lista musical es una de mis favoritas se llama Todavia tu, cuando Brian y yo decidimos casarnos muchas personas no compartieron nuestra felicidad, pensaron que no podriamos lograrlo por la diferencia de culturas, familias, lenguaje y muchas otras cosas, de eso se trata esta cancion, una pareja que aunque muy diferentes decidieron seguir adelante y ahora son muy felices, he sido muy bendecida con el esposo que tengo y esos bebes hermosos que me levantan todas las mañanas a las 5:45 de la mañana, cada vez que miro sus caritas se me ilumina el dia. He sido bendecida con una familia hermosa y le agradesco a Nuestro Padre Celestial por el amor que tiene por todos nosotros. :)

I love that first song in my play list, it reminds me of Brian and me. When we decided to get married many friends and family members thought that because of the differences between us (culture, families, language, etc), we wouldn't be able to make it, now I'm glad we didn't listen, I have a wonderful husband, and those three little kids that get up every morning at 5:45 and say "good morning mommy time to get up", (even saturdays, and sundays), light up my life every time I look at their little faces. I've been blessed with a beautiful family and I thank Heavenly Father for the love he has for all of us.

Halloween!!!


Anthony, Andrew y Vanessa se divirtieron mucho el dia de haloween, visitamos a muchas personas y recibieron muchos dulces, los cuales he tenido que esconder. Afortunadamente halloween es solo una vez al año. Ahora no paran de hablar acerca de la navidad. Que?, navidad tan rapido?, no lo puedo creer solo unas cuantas semanas mas y estaremos en navidad, este año se paso volando!!!!.
The kids had so much fun last halloween, I'm so glad is over, they got so much candy that I had to hide it from them. Now they're talking about Christmas, What? christmas already?, it's hard to believe that christmas is only a few weeks away, this year went by too fast!!!

Otoño!!! Fall!!

La semana pasada decidimos ir a comprar las calabazas para decorar, ya no aguante mas a los niños pidiendome que sacara las decoraciones de otoño y las de halloween!!. En la noche de hogar pintamos las calabazas y Brian tambien le hizo la cara a la mas grande a la que le ponemos una vela todas las noches para que se vea tenebrosa!!

Ok I know is way too early to have decorations out for Halloween, but I couldn't take it any more, the kids were driving me crazy asking every day for pumpkins and fall decorations. So I did it last monday for FHE we painted them and Brian always makes his own one.!!. I love the Autumn weather the only thing I don't like is the idea of winter coming right after .

Primer dia en la Escuela!!! Going back to School!!


La semana pasada el martes fue el primer dia de escuela para Anthony, el miercoles fue el Andrew, y no se imaginan lo contentos que estaba, y la locura que hubo en mi casa esa mañana tratando de espacharlos a todos con almuerzos y snaks, incluyendo Brian quien tambien nesecita su lochera lista todas las mañanas. Esta semana el martes fue el primer dia para Vanessa y aunque estaba muy contenta en la escuela me decia " mami quedate conmigo un ratico mas", hay me di cuenta que mi bebe todavia me extraña.

Last week Tuesday was Anthony's first day of school, Wednesday was Andrew's, and as you can see they were very excited, our mornings are now more stress full , as I have to get lunches and snacks ready for every one including Brian who also needs his lunchbox ready every morning. This Tuesday was Vanessa's first day at (pre)school and she was very excited . I can't believe that my baby is going to school now, that makes me really sad. :(

El Tiempo Vuela!!!! Time Flies!!!


Esta foto es de hace solo dos años atras, y
ya puedo ver lo grandes que estan mis hijos, me da triztesa verlos crecer tan rapido, por ahora estoy tratando de dosfrutarlos lo mas que puedo, porque se que cuando menos lo piense seran adolesencentes. :(



This picture was taken just two years ago, I can't believe how big my baby's are getting and so fast, That's way I have to enjoy them now that I have them with me, and I'm still their best friend. (that's what they say,"mommy you are my best friend").






Esta foto apenas fue tomada hace 5 semanas, y se ven tan grandes y lindos!!!!



This pictures was taken just 5 weeks ago, and they look so big, makes me sad. :(

Mi Hijo Gruñon!!! My Grumpy little Boy!!!

Todos en casa aun no han visto a Andrew cuando se pone gruñon, y dejenme decirles, la moyoria de las veces es asi, no le gusta las fotos, y por todo se queja. Aunque tambien debo decirles que es el payaso de la casa y siempre esta haciendo bromas, especialmente a su hermano y hermana. Es muy raro verlo de bueno humor, que cuando lo esta es muy divertido. Esta foto me hace reir mucho, esa es la cara que siempre pone cuando esta de malas. :)

For all of you that know my little Andrew already know that he is my grumpy baby, last week we went to the beach and I was trying to take a good picture of both of us, (he doesn't like to get his picture taking), and this is want I got, his face says it all, that's the face that I get every time he is in a bad mood (which is pretty much all the time)



Finalmente pude tomar una buena foto de nosotros dos, a el casi no le gusta sonreir en las fotos, pero creo que esta quedo bien!!! al parecer estaba de buen genio ese dia. :)

Finally I was able to get a good picture a couple of days latter, I think he was having fun that day. (is so hard to be Andrew).!! I love my baby so much!!!!

Carros, Carros, Carros!!! Cars, Cars, Cars!!!

ok, como pueden ver mi sala parese un parqueadero de carros, no importa si los hago limpiar en las noches, cada mañana me levanto y esto es lo que encuentro. Sera que a mis hombresitos les gustan los carros?. Abuela es mejor que se prepare para ver su sala combertida en un parqueadero!!!!



So this is what my leaving room looks like, a big parking lot, what can i do to keep these cars, trucks and planes away from my leaving room?, I better tell my mom to get ready, because this is what her house is going to look like in a couple of months!!! :)

Mis Bebes Lindos!! My Cute Babys!!!

Debido al alto precio se la gasolina donde vivimos Brian opto por comprar una motocicleta pequeña, porque esta gastando mucho dinero en su camioneta, como pueden imaginarse los niños estan locos con el nuevo juguete de papi, y esta semana salieron a jugan como siempre, que risa la que me dio cuando los llame a almorzar y vi a Anthony utilizado el casco del papa, mis hijos son muy chistosos!! :)

Due to high gas prices Brian got a little motorcycle, he was spending a lot of money in gas for his truck, so this last week the kids were playing out while I was making their lunch, when I call them to come in I saw Anthony wearing Brian's helmet, I was laughing so much, and of course I had to take this picture. :)



Una fotico de mi bebe, no puedo creer lo grande que esta. :(

This is just a cute picture of my baby, I can't believe how big she is getting. :(

Clientes Nuevos!! New customers?

Ayer Brian me envio estas Fotos de estos animales en nuestro negocio, se llaman Moose, y ellos viven en el bosque, estos son bebes y cuando llegan a la edad adulta son animales inmensos, y raramente salen a la calle, Brian les tomo fotos. Sera que quieren comprar mesas y sillas para su casa?, jajajajaja!!





Yesterday Brian sent me these pictures, he was very surprised to see these new customers at the door of his office staring at him while he was working, maybe they had questions about the furniture?, they were very interested in the tables and chairs, but they couldn't find the right size, they look very disappointed as you can see in the last pictures!!!! I have to have a talk to Brian about customer service!! :)
