Andrew!!!!
Ayer Septiembre 5 fue el 7mo cumpleaños de mi Andrew y empezamos acelebrarlo desde el sabado con la fiesta de sus amiguitos, como pueden ver se divertio mucho, ayer domingo tuvimos la fiesta con la familia para el y su prima Melany quien tambien cumplio 7 años el jueves. Como se podran imaginas estoy super cansada, hoy apenas estoy limpiando la casa y pensando que todavia tengo que hacer mas pastelitos para los amiguitos de su clase en la escuela mañana. Es mucho trabajo pero me encanta ver la carita de mis bebes cuando les celebro sus cumpleaños, es una manera de demostrarles lo feliz que me siento de tenerlos en mi familia y que el dia en que ellos nacio es muy importante para mi y Brian.
Yesterday was Andrew's 7th Birthday, and as you can see we've been celebrating since Saturday when we had his friends over, and Sunday we celebrated Melody's and Andrew's Birthday with our family, I am tired and I still have to make the cupcakes for Andrew's class to bring tomorrow. I love celebrating my kids birthdays, is a way for me to show them how important the day they were born is for us, and I just love to see how excited they get when we celebrate their special day. Happy Birthday Andrew, we love you so much!!!!
Colombia 2010 !!!
Ya han pasado tres semanas desde que llegamos de Colombia, es increible como el tiempo pasa de rapido, las 5 semanas que compartimos con nuestra familia no fueron suficientes, visitamos a la familia, compartimos muchos momentos felicies con los abuelos y tios, conocimos Melany y Felipe y desde el primer momento en que los vimos nos enmoramos de esos bebes, solo quiero agradecerle a mi familia por esas maravillosas 5 semanas, la pasamos muy bien, y nos divertimos muchisisisisimo.
It's been 3 weeks since we got back from Colombia, those 5 weeks that we got to spend with my family went by way too fast. We visited family members, had a lot of fun with abuelos and my brother and sisters, we met my little nice Melany and my nephew Felipe, they are adorable and we fell in love with them. We had so much fun and I loved being able to be with my family again in my Country. Yep I wish I could go back.
These are just a few pictures of our trip, the first couple of weeks, more pictures will come soon.

Aqui estamos!!! Still Here!!
It has been over two months since last time I posted something in my blog, Anthony's baptism was the last thing I posted about, I've been way too busy, to many things to plan for and get done before our big trip to Colombia, which is next week, and we are very excited, so I'm just going to post some pictures of the fun things we been up to since April.
Fuimos al acuario de Boston.
We went to Boston to see the animals at the aquarium, the kids loved it.
El 18 de Mayo fue nuestro aniversario, cumplimos 9 años de casados y he sido muy bendecida por tener a un esposo tan maravilloso y un excelente padre!!
May 18 was our anniversary, 9 years together, I've been bless to have such a wonderful husband and great father, I love Brian so much.!!
Vanessa se dejo pintar su carita en la escuala, se veia hermosa, fue una gran sorpresa verla asi porque a ella no le gusta que le pongan nada en la carita, asi que tome una foto porque quien sabe si se deje otra vez, tambien hemos ido en muchas ocaciones a la playa, el clima este verano ha estado muy caliente y como vamos a Colombia pronto decidimos ir mas seguido.
I just had to take a picture of Vanessa, this was the first time ever I saw her little face painted, she doesn't like it but her teacher was able to talk her in to it, also we have been at the beach many times this summer, the weather has been very nice and since we will be leaving to Colombia soon I just had to take the kids to the beach more often.
En junio los papas de Brian se llevaron a los nios a acampar por dos noches, Brian y yo aprovechamos para escaparnos tambien y el me llevo a un lugar llamado North Conway, mas al norte de donde vivimos en Nuew Hampshire, la pasamos delicioso, nos dieron un masaje, montamos bicicleta, fuimos al tope de una montaña, fuimos de compras, la pase muy rico con Brian el me cuida y mima mucho.
The kids went camping with Brian's mom and dad, so we also went away for the weekend, we went to North Conway, what a beautiful place, we had so much fun, got a massage, rode our bicycles, went to the top of the cathedral ledge, did some shopping, we had a wonderful time, and I have to thank Brian for taking such good care of me.
A finales de Junio llevamos los niños a Stroy Land, un parque grande de diversiones para los niños, como siempre Vecino vino con nosotros, tambien fuimos con la hermana de Brian y sus niños y la cuñanda de Brian con sus niñas, la pasamos muy rico.
At the end of June we took the kids to Storyland, we've been doing this for the last three years, and the kids look forward to it, Barb came with her kids, Nicole and her girls also came and of course Vecino, is always better when Vecino is around, we had a great time.
La semana pasada estuve en el campamento de las Mujeres Jovenes, de lunes a viernes, una semana completa sin mis bebes o Brian, fue dificil pero Nuestro Padre Celestial me dio la fotaleza que nescitaba para poder cuplir con mi llamamiento, la pase deliciosa y pude conocer a las niñas y lideres mucho mas, los niños estuviero con personas que se ofrecieron para cuidarlos y ellos tambien la pasaron muy bien.
Last week we had Girls Camp, I had a wonderful time, the hardest part was leaving my kids for one week, I missed them so much, but I knew that wonderful ladies were taking good care of them, and I want to thank them all for your help, (Danielle, Robin, Nicole and Barb). I loved being at camp the girls were prefect, the weather was just great and the leaders were wonderful, the best part was being able to get to know them better.
El domingo pasado fue el dia de Independencia de los Estados Unidos, y nos encanta ir a ver las luces por la noche, la mama de Brian organizo un picnic y estuvimos en el parque desde las 6 de la tarde hasta las 10:30 de la noche, como siempre todo lo hacemos juntos, asi que los niños vieron a todos sus primitos y se la pasaron jugando. Anthony y Gabriela la pasaron muy bien.
Last Sunday it was Independence day, and we love going to see the fireworks, we had a picnic with the rest of the family at the park and waited for the show to start, the kids had a great time while waiting.
Ahora solo tengo que preocuparme por nuestro viaje a Colombia el proximo martes, todos estamos muy entuciasmados y no vemos la hora de estar con ustedes. Los queremos muchisimo y nos vemos la proxima semana.
So now our last big thing will be our trip to Colombia, we will be leaving next Tuesday and wont be back until mid August, Brian will be joining us at the begining of August, we are very excited and can't hardly wait, knowing that I will be able to see my family next week makes me want to cry.

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS!!! HAPPY 5th Brithday Vanessa!!! HAPPY 8th Birthday Anthony!!!
Marzo 28 del 2005, fue el dia en el que mi bebe nacio, y ayer fue su cumpleaños numero 5, el sabado lo celebramos con sus amiguitos y todos nos divertimos muchisimo. Esta es una de mis fotos favoritas, y dejenme les cuento la historia de esta foto: hace una semana fuy con ellos al almacen a comprar un regalo para un amiguito de Andrew, y empese a notar que todos nos miraban y se sonreian, yo no podia entender el porque la gente estaba siendo tan amigable, pero cuando voltie a asegurarme que todos tres estuvieran junto a mi vi a Vanessa con esas gafas y una gran sorisa en su carita hay fue cuando entendi porque tanta gente se sonreia con nosotros. Mi Princesa trae alegria a nuestra familia y le agradesco mucho a mi Padre Celestial por tantas bendiciones.
Yesterday we celebrated Vanessa's 5th birthday, we had a big Birthday Party with her friends on Saturday, and boy we had a lot of fun. This picture is one of my Favorites, and let me tell you the story behind it: I went to the store a week ago with the three kids, not knowing she was wearing those flamingo glasses, I noticed people looking at us and smiling, I couldn't understand why they were being so friendly, and when I turned around to make sure the kids were with me I saw Vanessa with this glasses and a huge smile in her little face, then I knew why people were looking at us, couldn't' help it but to smile back and take a picture. She brings such happiness to our family and we are very grateful to our Heavenly Father for sending her to our family. We love our Princess so very much.
A que no adivinan quien se va a bautizar pronto. No puedo creer que mi Anthony ya vaya a cumplir 8 años, el 30 de marzo, es el gran dia de mi bebe, mañana ya sera un niño grande y podra ir a los scouts. Anthony esta muy contento por su bautizo y no ve la hora de hacer sus convenios con Nuestro Padre Celestial. He tenido tantas bendiciones en mi vida y una de ellas es poder tener la oportunidad de enseñar el evangelio a mis hijos, y me da mucha alegria saber que mi Anthony quiere seguir a Nuestro Padre Celestial y servirle a El. Abril 11 a las 2:00 de la terde sera su bautizo, y todos los dias el dice que no puede esperar mas.!!!!
Guess who is getting baptize soon. I can't believe my Anthony is about to turn 8, March 30th is the big day for my baby, tomorrow he will be able to go to scouts and he is very excited. It seems like yesterday that we brought our first boy home from the hospital, and now we are getting everything ready for his baptism. He is such a sweet boy, always helping his relatives, and loves to snuggle with mommy. I am very proud of my boy, and the decision he has made to follow the Savior, he is very happy and excited about his baptism and can't hardly wait, April 11 at 2pm is the big day, and every day he talks about it, that makes me very happy. We are so bless to have the gospel in our lives, and being able to teach it to our kids is one of the greatest blessings our Heavenly Father has giving me.
Last saturday we celebrated his birthday with his friends and he had a lot of fun too!!
