Carving Pumpkins!

We carved the girls pumpkins last night. They drew the faces on with marker themselves and we carved. Karolina wanted a "two face" pumpkin and a Amalia wanted a princess pumpkin with eyelashes of course!

Field Trip to Pumpkinland!

Today was Karolina's first fieldtrip and first ever bus ride, she was so excited. I was planning on following in the car with Amalia and the bus driver insisted that Amalia and I ride in the bus! Amalia was thrilled! Very fun to see how excited all of those 5 year olds were. Each one got to pick out a pumpkin to take home. Miranda and Karolina wanted to do a silly pose !

Primary Program

This Sunday was Karolina's Primary program--by far my most favorite sacrament meeting every year. Hannah and Maddy came to church with us! Abuela came too! She did a great job. She was very cute, she just learned the sign for "I Love You"and she would get eye contact with Felipe and I and then do the sign! Amalia and Karolina love the Primary song, Scripture Power they taught them this year!

Fall Pix 2006

My children are relieved that they are done with another photo shoot for at least one year!

Long Weekend Fun!

We've had a fun weekend. Karolina had Thurs, Fri and Mon. off school! On Thursday night Hannah drove down and Jake and Amy were in town.We got together for dinner and the kids had fun playing together. It was great to see Katanya in person again--- she has changed so much since I saw her last! She is so cute:) I also took my annual fall pix of the kids on Saturday, which I'll post later! Plus Pete and Karl called and it was fun to visit with them!

First School Pictures and Book Order!

Karolina received her first school pictures and book order books today. For some reason it was sort of sentimental for me. First, I can't believe she is in Kindergarten. Second, I still remember my first school pictures and book order. Time is really flying too quickly!

Fun Day at Farm Country!

We had a fun day today. Karolina was so excited that Felipe had the day off so that he could pick her up from school! Meanwhile Amalia went with me to get my flu shot at Costco ( she had hers last week at the pediatrician's) . She was so cute. I sat down in the chair and she told me she would help me be brave. She held my hand and covered my eyes with her other hand. So cute, her hand covers about 1/3 of my eyes! When I was finished she told me I was brave and didn't even cry. As we were walking out I picked her up. She said, "Mommy don't pick me up with your owie arm, you have to let it rest! "I said, "Amalia thanks for helping me be brave, "and she replied, " Oh, Mommy you don't have to thank me! "It totally cracked me up-- the little phrases they pick up are hilarious! After Karolina was out of school we headed to Thanksgiving Point to Farm Country. They love to go there and I love it too!

I'm 32 years old!

Today was my 32nd birthday, I was joking with Felipe that I am getting close to 40! But in all seriousness, time goes by more quickly each year! We celebrated with a lunch at Felipe's mom's house. Later that evening Hannah drove down to celebrate with me too! It has been a great day. I feel loved:)
