We all kept telling Diego that the train was going to fly when it took off. So everyone held on. :P

Mya's Baby Blessing

BEHOLD!

THE DRESS!!!!!!

DSC_3884.jpg

So much time was spent on it, and I am in love with the outcome.

Having 2 tiny children, I don't get hours to just sit and sew. This took about 2 weeks, working in spurts of time. It was so worth it. :)

DSC_3884.jpg

Mya was exhausted, and slept through all of the pictures.

Abuelo was the one that blessed Mya, and it was such a beautiful blessing. My dad translated so that all of the whites could enjoy the blessing as well. :P

Everyone went over to my dad's house, while Sophie and I stayed for church. Afterward we went over to have some food too, since EVERYONE ate without us. Thanks guys. *glare*

And now the pictures.

Motherhood part 2

Despite the fact that it rained ALL day yesterday (literally, morning till night), it was a good day.

My Mother's Day weekend started on Friday.

Sophie and I spent the afternoon at the Treehouse Museum, which wasn't as fun. There weren't as many kids there, so she spent most of the time looking for a "friend" to play with.
On the way to pick up Denny, both of the girls fell asleep. With both of the monsters out cold, we decided to go get dinner. All you can eat sushi, *gag*. I hate fish, always have. Sophie thought the chopsticks were amazing.
Next we hit Barnes & Nobel for my Mother's Day gift. Denny took Sophie to pick out a planner, while I wandered about the store. I wanted a planner because I like knowing when, where, and what is going to go on. Having two tiny children, my brain is full of cartoon theme songs, so I just write everything important down.
I left the store with my new gifts: a box of Hello Kitty stationary, a pretty purple planner, and two raspberry filled Godiva chocolates *drool*.

Saturday

Weed pulling day. Yay?
Denny went to pick up Abuelos, and brought me back flowers. :) I love flowers.
Abuelos were loving enough to come help out. I originally asked if they would come keep the girls entertained, so that Denny and I could work on the yard. The moment Abuelo got out of the car, he dove into pulling weeds. There is no stopping that man. :P Abuela held Mya while she napped.
We got a TON of weeds pulled. A good half of what we needed done. Keep in mind that we have a good 4 areas for gardens, so that is about 4 million weeds.
After we showered, I took Sophie to the mall. She lost one of her earrings the day before, and we were out of spares. Being the pink lover she is, we left with a pair of pink heart earrings. After grabbing smoothies, we spent the rest of the night at home.

Sunday

We had what Denny declared "Mother's Day cake," after he sang the "official Mother's Day song" (that I'm fairly certain he made up as he went). Delicious breakfast.
Got everyone ready for church.
The primary children sang to all of the mommies. Sophie just stood there and alternated smiling at me then her teacher. She adores her primary teacher. All throughout Sacrament, she kept asking if it was time to go to class yet. I'm so glad that she loves Primary so much. It makes the idea of starting school much easier.
After church, Denny took us to Olive Garden. SOOOOOOOOOOO many people. Luckily, the wait wasn't too bad, and someone gave up the couch for Sophie and me.
Once we got back to our table, Mya was starving. The instant I started feeding her, Denny informed me that the lady next to us was giving me the stink eye. She can go suck an egg, you couldn't even see my ta-tas.
The evening was spent watching tv shows.

Another wonderful Mother's Day with my family.

Motherhood part 1


girls.jpg
My mother always has been, and always will be my best friend.

She has always given her time to make sure I was a well rounded and happy person.
  • She was my girl scout leader.
  • She had me take 2 years of Spanish.
  • She was my girl camp director.
  • She taught my young womens class.
  • She put me in soccer, cheer, basketball, and so on.
  • She lived with me for weeks in a hotel, so that I could go to my first Homecoming before moving.
  • She drove me to and from a different school for an entire year, so I wouldn't have to deal with bitchy teenage girls.
  • She let me dress however I wanted.
  • She taught me to be friends with everyone.
  • I never came home to an empty house. My mother ALWAYS made sure she was home for us.
  • When my parents got divorced, she let me hate her without trying to stop me. It wasn't until I went through the same problems, that I understood how much she gave for us.
After seeing how other people were raised, I now know how blessed I was.
My mother is the reason I think my kids deserve to have me at home with them. They deserve to be raised by me, not a daycare or babysitter.
My mother is the reason I love to make things for my girls.
My mother is the reason I believe that "I am beautiful, no matter what anyone else thinks." :)
My mother is the reason I fight to be happy.
My mother is the reason I don't give up.
My mother is the reason I am strong.

I love you. :)

(part 2 will come sunday evening after I spend it with my girls)

Abuelo's 73rd Bday

On April 28th, Abuelo turned 73.




Sophie and I spent the afternoon making him some cupcakes. She does pretty well baking on her own. I just give a little help here and there.
(notice the wardrobe change)

That evening we went over to celebrate.
