After the Washington DC visit...The Temple

Despues de ir a visitar los monumentos en Washington DC. decidimos ir a Templo. Que vista mas hermosa que pudimos disfrutar. Fue hermoso ver la puesta de sol detras del Templo. Dio un color azul inteso en el cielo, se veia hermoso!

Trip to Washington DC...How fun!

Mimi crack me up!...





























When we got back home from Chile we realized that we haven't been in DC. to see all the monuments, White House and everything else around. So last weekend we headed to DC. OH HOW FUN!!!...we didn't have any schedule or timing. We wanna just relax and enjoy the day. We took Jack with us. He was pretty good. We went to all the monuments first and then The White House. Kaylita had a tinny tantrum as you can see in some of the pictures but nothing big, she was just tired of walking and "her sugar" went down...ha. We fed her and let her rest for a while and after that she was totally fine. Mimi was excited to learn and see everything with daddy. She loves to her the story behind of each place we visited. I felt sad when we visited the wall with all the names of the soldier who died in different wars. They were so many!...I felt grateful too for their sacrificing for me...because all of them I can be free here with my family. We were walking for almost 4 hours. We got some t-shirts for the girls (they said Washington dc). My favorite place was The White House...I always saw it on TV but being here was a dream come true...not that I love the W.H. that much but what I mean by that is that I never imagined when I was a little girl that someday I would standing right there, you know?. The other one was the A Lincoln monument. The same thing I saw thousands of movies were they showed it and I was there now. Taking pictures with my family. Crazy,uh?
The colors weren't that pretty at all. I wish we would come in spring, the trees and colors in DC at that time are amazing!.oh well, at least we saw all the squirrels and we enjoyed a warm beautiful shiny day together. We went to the Temple after and the evening at the Temple was awesome!

Let's the Fun Begin!

I used to babysit our neighbor's kids. Maya and "Buddy". Maya was Dominique's age and Buddy was Kayla's age so they had lots of fun together. There were no days with a new creative thing to do. Together they had the most wonderful ideas of games and thing to have fun. Sliding down the stairs was a blast!...they could be doing it and laughing for hours!..The fun ended though when the neighbors moved and new ones came and complained about the noise!. We just moved the play time for later when the neighbor weren't home and the problem was fixed!

Baked with Love...Empanadas !!

My girls are great cookers as you can see in this picture. Dominique and Kayla love to help in the kitchen and their favorite recipe to make is CHILEANS EMPANADAS and I love to see how much fun they have making them. The best part of it for us, Kyle and Me is,... the eating part!,w here we can enjoy the delicious empanadas! I'm so happy that Dominique and Kayla love and are willing to help mama. They always have been great on this. We have so much fun as a family doing things together...even more when the help is in the kitchen...I think the kitchen is the funnest because afterwards you eat the goodies!

Jackie's First Shots at the Vet

We took Jackie to the vet today. He was pretty good until he peed on the floor. Shame on you hairy thing!...They checked him and he was looking great! . He didn't like the shots at all, but he was good after all. The girls had such a fun time. I had a blast to see their faces when the nurse took Jack's temperature from his behind. It was hilarious!. Jack didn't like it either!. Now we have a healthy good looking checked up puppy.

I'm not old...I'm chronologically gifted

I'm getting older and wiser!..who said "over the hill"?...I don't remember any hill...hahaha. Today I realized that you are getting older when your cake cost more that the candles!.
Thanks to my good friends in Harrisburg I had a wonderful B-day! This is the first time that friends planned something for me!. Not even in Chile my friends ever gave me such a nice surprise. I didn't expect too much but men! they took me to my favorite restaurant, Olive Garden in Harrisburg , PA. got me balloons, presents and everything, thanks from the bottom of my heart! I had a blast!. I even got a cake and made a wish!. I love this place and the wonderful friends I have made here!. In the picture. Lauren,Julie Smalley,Julie N.,Denise,Sandra, Sister Tamber...?,and me.

Lovely Makeover, Happy Valentine Mommy!

Dominique and Kayla got up early today to wish Happy Valentine's day to Kyle and Me. We spend a such a wonderful day together. The girls prepare a surprise for me...in the afternoon they handed me a gift bag...really pretty...home made decorated. The bag had a coupon inside for me and it said:..."free makeover for mama, by Kayla and Dominique". My present was a special pampering day... and Dominique and Kayla were gonna be my "ladies" who will take care of me.
It was awesome!...They gave a massage, color my nails, feet and hands...did My hair and the best for last...A marvelous make up!, as you can see in these pictures.
I had so much fun looking at them...and how excited they were to do something special for mommy!. I know it came from their heart and they made me feel the prettiest mom in the world!..Thank you so much my princesses for the beautiful memories I have of you showing love and care to me!. You are the biggest blessing in my life. Love ya both!
