Makeover....?

Mimi did her own makeover. She came to me that day and told me: "look mom I did my make up allllll by myself!". I looked and I loved how talented she was! The markers stayed for a little while. They were washables but they weren't THAT much "washable" :(
My life is pretty busy with my two little "angels"...everyday they come up with something different.

Are you talking to me!?

Kayla and her feisty, funny personality...She got mad at me because I was taking a picture....I love her face! even when she is mad she looks cute. She always makes me laugh with what she has to say. This is Kayla's "everyday mood"...Gotta love her!...She is funny, isn't she?

Christmas Morning Magic

Christmas in Harrisburg,PA!...For Christmas comes but once a year. We had a wonderful , happy Christmas Morning!..Lots of presents, candies and food!. It's always a blessing being able to spend time as a family and with daddy. Have our traditions and just being happy together!...Merry Christmas to all!!!!.

Christmas Eve dinner

We invited all the missionaries for Christmas Eve. I made Chilean food. We barbecued...oh well,... tried!... I wanted to have a Chilean Christmas dinner...but I forgot that in Chile is summer and here ..WINTER, -10 degrees sooo...not the greatest idea to even try to light the BBQ because it was frozen!... Kyle lit the barbecue and it caught on fire...oops! It was pretty late at that time and the missionaries were almost here. I had to come up with an idea...so I decided to put the meat in my wok...it didn't work!...the elders were here already...so Kyle came to the rescue!...Meanwhile Mimi and Kayla kept bugging me to open the presents!!...everything was going wrong....and I wanted to kill the cat I didn't have at that point!. Oh well, Kyle barbacued with charcoal, it took longer and the elders had to wait but it worked fine. I learned that no more Chilean BBQ for Christmas in USA. The food was great and I was happy ...the girls? not really, they still wanted to open presents and the "meany mom" said : "noooooot yet!"...then our spiritual moment, wasn't "that" spiritual trying to keep Jack from stealing baby Jesus from the nativity, the girls trying to sneak out with a present...etc,etc,etc.
We finally finished with the "white elephant present exchange". It was really fun and funny!. I was happy that everybody was gone at 8:00pm. and after a few minutes our girls went to bed !!!...Santa needed to come so they didn't have any problem falling asleep. Thank you so much Santa!...I need it a break!.

Christmas

We had a lot of fun making a Ginger Bread House. Kyle was totally stressed out about the structure of the house. I was laughing a lot! I thought he was going to get an ulcer. The girls kept eating all the decorations and frosting, thanks heaven we made it before it was too late!.

Ice storm

Hace algunos dias atras tuvimos una tormenta de hielo. Fue muy bonito el paisaje aun cuando estabamos congelados hasta los huesos. Ver los arboles como si fueran de cristal, y el pasto como si fuera coral por el hielo acomulado,era un paisaje que valia la pena ver. Esa semana la minima fue de entre -15 y -18 grados, ahora ya regresamos a la normalidad y estamos matandonos de calor con maximas de 3 y 4 grados.

Halloween Party at School

I helped in Dominique's Halloween Party this year. I love to go to her class, the kids are funny and really cute. They are really friendly with me. They like my accent. I love Gabriel he is funny!...and my favorite is Lamond, who asked Dominique to marry him, but Mimi told him she couldn't because he wasn't a Mormon. and that she wanted to marry an ex-missionary. A good priesthood holder, a man who marry her in The Temple...poor Lamond he was clueless...he didn't even heard the "Mormon" word before or anything about "missionaries" and temples. He was so confused and lost after Mimi's answer...he just wanted to marry her that's it.
 I'm really proud of my girl she knows what she wants already...and she wasn't afraid to tell anybody her goals!...Good for you my princess!.
The Party was a success and everybody had lots and lots of fun!...and sugar high! too.

Halloween!!!

The Witch and the Cat!...Mimi and Kayka for Halloween, Kayla decided to be a Kitty, black Kitty, and Mimoncita a beautiful Witch. I had so much fun painting their faces and going around the neighborhood. I'm glad though its over..too many parties and CANDIES!!!.

My little pumpkins!!!

We went to get some pumpkings to carve...we finally came back just with pictures , the pumpknigs were way too expensive. We had a lot of fun anyways! Oct,2007

Kayla's Kindergarten School Picture

Isn't she cute!. She is the happiest girl in the world! She really likes to learn and have fun with all her new friends. Her best friend is Shay. They were so cute together!. Her teacher is Mrs Daniels. She is such a nice lady. Kayla has been such an example for us, as a family, just in the few week she has been in school she has done amazingly great!. The other day she decided that she wanted to take, for her "show and tell", her Book of Mormon and share her testimony about it with her class. She did it. Her teacher was happy to asked some questions and Kayla was happy to answered them. She told us she felt the spirit really strong. I'm so happy for her to have this wonderful experiences as such young age!..I know she will never forget how she felt.

1st Grade School Picture

Dominique loves to be in Elementary School now. She has so many friends and she loves her new school and teacher. Dominique is so bright. She learned how to read when she was 3 1/2 and she does great in er class now. She is a friendly little girl with so much energy and ideas to light anybody's life. She is a blessing to our family and everybody who she is around. Her first grade was great!

Trip Vacation to Niagara Falls and Sacred Grove

We went to Niagara Falls first. We met Becky and her family down there, they drove all the way from Utah. We spend the whole day enjoying the beautiful scenes. Kyle and me went on the boat ride to see the Falls really close, it was an amazing view!!!. Dominique rode with Annalisa and her family. Kayla didn't want to get on the boat, we couldn't convinced her to do it. We left to Palmyra in the evening. It was just like 2 hours away. We were able to see the Pageant. It was so nice to be where Joseph Smith found the Golden Plates and see the play about Jesus resurrection there...the spirit was so strong!! The girls loved it! I was amazed by the whole thing!. I love to do things as a family but this was special for us. We shared our testimonies with our girls right there were everything its started!. We went to visit the Palmyra Temple, Joseph Smith house and The Sacred Grove!!!... It was really amazing to be there!!...you could sit there for hours and just feels the spirit.

We went back to the car after hours of enjoying and walking around...and.... surprise surprise...JACK HAD POO ALL OVER OUR CAR!!!!...It was so, so gross!!. I didn't take any picture of the event, for obvious reasons...we were cleanig and spraying the whole car, for like an hour!. It was totally our fault though because he "asked to go" and we were so excited to just go and see everything that we totally forgot to take him poo before we left.
Then we went home. Becky and the kids with me in our minivan. Kyle and Dave in their cool car!..they had so much fun!!.
