Happiness is...A Day at the Beach!

Having a Sand-sational Time at the beach!!!. We enjoy 2 wonderful days at the beach while we were in Disneyland. The weather was perfect!. This was the second time in our princesses's life to see and enjoy the ocean. The first time was when we went to Chile and spend a few days in Renaca, Vina Del Mar.
Kayla and Dominique had the time of their life!. They loved catching some waves and collecting seashells by the shore. They were so happy!. They couldn't stop smiling. Heaven is a little bit closer when they can be near the ocean!. They just run, smiled and laughed. They were happy as Clams!!!.
I had a great day...just sitting on the sand and enjoying the breeze. I felt so happy!. That moment brought me so many memories of Chile to my mind. The ocean brings the feelings of freedom and peace to me. I could sit hours and hours there just with my eyes closed relaxing and having all those beautiful memories and not being bother by anything or anybody and be as happy as can be...where the ocean meets the sky!...Kyle?...he was loving it, just like everybody else...he is happy if he is with us. It doesn't matter for him where we are if we are all together.

Disneyland...Let the Adventure Begin!

We left Carolyn's house early in the morning. We had planed to go to church with Marixa Mills, my Chilean friend who lives in Las Vegas. The driving took us longer than we thought, so we didn't make it to church but we went to visit her and went to lunch together. It was fun to meet her husband and daughter, Mia (2years old). Then we headed to our final destination...DISNEYLAND!!!...it supposed to be just 3 1/2 hours away from Las Vegas but the traffic was terrible and we made it in almost 7 hours!. It didn't matter though because...we were in Disneyland!!!. Our Hotel was right across the street from Disneyland so we could see the lights and everything from there!. We went to dinner and for a walk...then to sleep and rest for tomorrow!. What a blessing to spend this wonderful time together as a family!. This is gonna be awesome!

Panaca?...Are We There Yet?

We went to get the car early in the morning. My Minivan was not going to make it so Kyle decided to rent a car, We were really lucky 'cause they didn't have a medium size car so they gave us the one you see in the picture. It was a Toyota "something"... I can't remember the name, the only thing I remember is that was super "suave" to drive. We got home, loaded the car, got the girls and there we went on the road!. Our first stop was Panaca...Panaca?..yeap!...To see Carolyn Harr and her family. The trip was like 5 hours and really boring sights to get to Panaca.  Actually, Panaca...was nowhere!. Panaca is just one street "thing"...I don't even know if you can call that place "town". It was a really tiny place. I don't think its has enough people to make it a town...hahaha. Oh well, we had a wonderful time with Carolyn and her family. The girls really enjoyed being with her cousins. They took us for a ride , it sounds so funny for me to say that because...there's nothing in Panaca!...so saying ..."took us for a ride sounds  like a huge place to go around and see...but it wasn't. So here are some pictures on the way to Panaca. I forgot to recharge my camera's batteries so actually we don't have any picture of the real Panaca...however we are not gonna miss too much of a "seeings" here. haha
Mimi and Kayla were great the whole way there. Kayla watched videos and Mimi....well, see it yourself...she was a really funny "sleeping beauty" trooper.

Huevitos de Pascua

We had a wonderful Easter!!...a lot of fun and a lot of sugar!. Aqui esta Dominique y Kayla tiniendo de colores los huevitos de pascua y decorandolos. Lo pasamos chancho como familia. Es una de nuestras tradiciones que mas nos gusta y disfrutamos con nuestras hijas. Happy Easter!

weeeeeeelllllllll.....

I've been trying to post some picturesr and my internet is not working the way it should!...I took some pictures of the Smalleys latest adition to their family, Emma...she is a cutie!!!...she was such a good  baby the whole time!...She just sleep and eat...and at the very end...explote!...on Julie! haha...(sorry my darling). I can't believe how great Julie was doing just after almost 2 week of the delivery...she is amazing!!!...I don't even recovery that fast just after my pms days...hahaha. Oh well, Ithink she is younger,uh?
This week was kind of hard for me I got the news that my father wasn't doing to good and he could die if he doesn't take care of himself...I got really sad and felt we shouldn't go to disney and change the trip to Chile...so we talked and explain the situation to the girls...( we have been planing on going to disney for a year or so...before we came back from PA). The girls have been really excited about it...so as you imaging the news of maybe changing plans wasn't to great for them.
When I asked the girls about what if we change the trip to chile because grandpa Gabriel was really sick and maybe he could even go to heaven, (in a really kind of sad serious voice)...Kayla...looked at me and said..: GRRRREAT he had to die right when we are going to disney!!!...it was so funny!. Then she added...:can we just go for his funeral?. (hahaha Oh my little rock heart). She was so concerned that I would take her words in the wrong way that she explained to me right away:..."Mom, its not that I don't love grandpa Gabriel is just that we planed to go to disney way before he plan to die"..hahaha.!!!!.   All my sadness went away in 1 second because I couldn't stop laughing!....She said the family prayer and she asked Heavenly Father to answer us what should we do...but to remember that we plan  this trip, way before grandpa think to die...so to help grandpa to feel better, please! "...The next day I called my dad to tell him all about it he just laughed ...my whole family thought it was hillarious!...so my dad told me to please to go to Disneyland that he would take good care of his health. When the girls came home I told them what grandpa said...Kayla in a really relief and happy voice exclaimed: ..."Thank you thank you thank you GOD!!!'...and then she added..." He is so nice to wait to die after we go to Disney!!!. She called my dad and talked to him for 1 hour or more...she was feeling so greatful she couldn't stop complimenting my dad for beeing so nice with them and decided to wait for his dead.
Its funny but at the same time I think it helped my dad to have a reason to keep fighting and get better. Dominique even made my dad to promise her that he will pray everyday. I could feel my dad's happiness to know that they care about him even if they don't see him as we would like to, they still love him and remember him!
I love my girls...because with their innocence and seewtness they always teach something to my family. ( I say this because I forgot one important thing that kayl;a said to my dad...she explained to him she wasn't sad for him to die because she knew that she will be with him again after this life if he gets baptized, so he needed to get baptized)
Aren't kids amazing!!!

ps. I post the little Smallye's pictures here because I couldn't do it on my photography blog.

I love the warm weather!!!!

It has been wonderful weather!...I love to be able to play outside with the girls, go for walks as a family and have nice BBQs... OH Wonderful spring time!!!. Even my mood changed, its amazing. I love the sunshine!!!...We have been playing everyday at the field across our house. Jack loves it!!!...its all fence so he can run run and run and he is safe...UNTIL...yesterday...somebody left the gate opened and I didn't realized until I saw him running to Geneva rd. I tried to get him but he run way faster than me...when I got to the big street he was right in the middle of the street and 10.000.000 cars waiting for him to move...it was funny and at the same time scary...my baby almost got run over by a car. Oh well, we had a great time.
For those who are wondering how Kyle did in his bar test...we haven't hear anything yet. If anybody knows about a law job please let us know!!!. Or if you have any friend/s who wants pictures give them my phone number.
Thanks to all. For your comments and good wishes with my photography I really appreciated. Sometimes I get kind of discourage when I see that there so many out there way better than me. I'm still learning about my camera and photo shop. there's so much you can do..oh well thanks for the support!!!
