El 18 de Septiembre...Fiestas Patrias Chilenas!

We got together with a couple of friend's families to celebrate the Chilean Independence Day in the Chilean way MIERCALE!!!! with lots of food, meat, empanadas, pebre, loud music...the only thing missing was the CHICHA!!!...haha. My girls had lots of friends to play with, Jack had a huge left over plate just for him. We danced a lot and laughed so hard. We had such a great time celebrating and enjoying our "table" in the Chilean way, meaning: talking a lot and making fun and laughing at everybody and of everything!. I was so freaking tired at the end of the day that when everybody left I went straight to sleep as soon as I put my head on the pillow! Dominique, Kayla and Kyle did the same. The girls said to me today...:"Chileans really know how to have fun!". I like when we do things that are part of my culture. Seeing my girls enjoying it, its a great feeling!. It means a lot to me that Dominique and Kayla learn what and how we do thing in my culture. The same when I try the best I can so they keep in touch with my family in Chile. I always want for them to love this country , they were born here and they are Americans but at the same time I want them to know ,learn and love my country and my culture because is part of them too...I know they do!

Dominique

As I always say, to take one picture of Mimi its a dilemma so for her to let me do it ...it was a huge thing!....but lately she has been more willing to spend some time in front of the camera, so it was a blessing! I know its not her favorite thing to do during her free time so I really appreciate when she let me do it because she just wants me to be happy. She knows my favorite thing is taking lots of pictures of them. I took these ones after their Activity Day trip to the Timpanogos Temple. I love each one of them.

I Wanna Go to the Temple Someday

Activity Day was about "Prepare to go to the Temple someday". How to be and keep yourself worthy and how important is to marry in the Temple...so, the Leaders took all the 15 girls to the Timpanogos Temple.
I feel bless to have 2 beautiful daughters who are willing to do whatever it takes to be worthy to marry in the Temple of God. They learned about the covenants we make there and how they can help our Heavenly Father in His plan of salvation doing baptisms for the deaths when they turn 12. The leaders took all the girls inside the Temple, in the hall, so they could see and feel the peace inside. They were so reverent and you could see the happiness on their face for this opportunity to go inside together. I know they will never forget the feeling they had there and the beautiful gospel truth they learned today. After, they went to the Temple's field and were asked to write about their feelings while they sit alone on the grass. They had their own time, to ponder and feels our Heavenly Father's love for them. I was feeling so grateful for the leaders and for the time and effort they put to teach this group of girls, "my girls"...what its really important in life. When I was looking at each one of the girls I was thinking "oh how beautiful and precious they are!"...then I felt Heavenly Father talking to me and saying:..."Can you see, if you feel this way about them ...you can't even imagine the love that I, GOD has for each one of them, they are MY creations!...Nothing can be more important than them for Me, NOTHING!.
I felt the spirit so strong. I gave thanks to my Father above for letting me know that I'm not alone protecting my girls in this world.

Splashing' Good Time at the Pool

We got a Family Season-pass for the Lehi-Outdoor Pool this year. We spent almost every single summer day there...it was so fun! We had such a fun time together as a family, enjoying the cold water and wonderful weather!. The weather this year wasn't as hot as others years before. I think we reached the 100's just a couples of times, that's it!. We got a pass for Mary"fulina" too, so she went we us all the time. The best part was when Daddy could go with us during weekends,...it was such a joy for the girls...they are so in-love with daddy and daddy didn't have any chance to relax or do what he wanted BUT to do whatever THEY said!...its always like this anyway in our family, daddy doesn't have to much to say when the girls are around... Poor daddy and then if they are not around ....I'm around!!!...so he doesn't have any choice either...haha.
I really enjoyed going with my girls and have that special time with them, like a mommy-daughter dates. We spent hours at the pool!. They are such a good swimmers!. Kayla learned how to dive and Mimi too!. I loved to see them jumping off the diving board and climbing the rock wall. Being a mom is fun!...specially when I see them enjoying life!

So, Summer Days this year were fun, cool and splashy!

In the Mood for Pictures?

...well, not really...however I got this beautiful pics of Mimi...one of the thing that I like the most about this shot is that I got her personality... "One picture and I'M DONE!!!
Anyways, I was lucky for a while and got some few good shots of Dominique. Dominique is really hard to shot, first because she doesn't like it and second because she is always busy, busy...so to ask her for some of her busy schedule for pictures...not too often!...Pictures are not her priorities at all!. Love my MIMI!

Their First Day of School 2011-12

WoW! I can believe School started today!..My girls are growing so fast!. Dominique is in 5th grade and Kayla is in 4th grade this year.Getting ready this time was more fun for me than years before. They were so excited to see their friends but for me its was exciting to see them talking about what they were gonna wear, make up and all those girly stuff. It took them a couple of hours to get ready. They were giggling and having so much fun before they left. I was having fun just to look at them ...I was thinking my little "muffins" are not little any more...although they are still my "muffins", they are young ladies now...thinking about boys,friends, make-up and have fun.

The Czirr's Girls go out on a Date

We decided to have a "Mommy & Daughters" date today to the Aquarium. School will start in a few days so we thought it was a good idea to go before that happens. It was a really nice day, not really hot and we didn't have anything else to do after so we weren't in any hurry at all... we could enjoy anything and everything.
...well, the girls started to fight in the car on the way to the Aquarium, nice!...then they were already a little bit "sassy" by the time we got there. I got upset ...so I asked them to try their best but even that I asked them a few time to stop...they kept going on and on with their attitude ...so, I decided to go home ...our date instead of being a super fun time together turned into a stressful and not that fun outing...I was sad and disappointed with them. I get frustrated, they are not little babies. They should behave better when we go out to have fun, so everybody can enjoy being together. We like to do things together but lately it's has been a pain!...there's always a fight or an attitude going on!..I hate it!...then I get all mad and frustrated and the fun its gone!...I'm not saying its all their fault because I should know better how to control my temper too and that's why I get so upset because when I get mad I don't know how to calm down, I just need to be alone,yell if I need to,etc,etc,etc.
Oh well, at least it wasn't the end of the world...and actually at the end of our date they said sorry ... we kissed and we all felt better!.
