Will I be taller when I turn 6?

Naomi was so excited to turn 6! She asked if she would be taller on her birthday. We told her that she'll grow some day :o) Her "birthday wish" was to go to Wild Waves with a friend. We took all the girls and their friend Aitana on Wednesday to the park to have fun on the rides and in the water. They loved it!

Naomi estaba muy contenta de cumplir 6! Ella pregunto si seria mas alta el dia de su cumpleanos. Le dijimos que algun dia creceria :o) Su "deseo de cumpleanos" fue ir a Wild Waves con una amiga. El miercoles llevamos a todas las ninas y su amiga Aitana al parque para divertirse en los juegos y el agua. Ellas la pasaron muy bien!

They were so happy!

Ellas estaban tan contentas!

The rides are so limited for short kids but they rode on every single one they could.

Los juegos en que ninos pequenos pueden subir son limitados asi que ellas se subieron en cada uno que pudieron.

On Friday, the day of her birthday, she opened some presents and then we went to our friend's house to use the swimming pool and let the kids cool off a little bit, it was a hot day!
El viernes, el dia de su cumpleanos, ella abrio regalos y despues fuimos a la casa de nuestros amigos para usar la piscina y enfriarnos un poco, fue un dia muy caluroso!

She was so funny when she saw that she got some money... she could not believe they were real $5 and $20 bills. Look at the pictures below:

Ella fue tan divertida cuando vio que recibio dinero... no podia creer que eran billetes reales de $5 y $20. Vean las fotos de abajo:

Friday, at our friend's house!

Viernes en la casa de nuestros amigos!
Isabelle was in the pool for 3 seconds and got cold... she just played with Trevor the rest of the time.

Isabelle estuvo en la poscina por 3 segundos y le dio frio... ella solo jugo con Trevor el resto del tiempo.

Happy birthday my little Omi!

Feliz cumpleanos mi pequena Omi!

Cute Pics

School had a movie & activity night. I took the kids and they got their faces painted.

La escuela tuvo una noche de pelicula y actividad. Lleve a los ninos y les pintaron sus caras. For a while Isy liked dressing as a princess evey day.

Por un tiempo Isy se vestia de princesa cada dia.

A couple of Elementary Schools had a Cultural Night and asked the kids to wear a traditional dress/costume. They picked their Guatemalan costumes.Un par de escuelas de primaria tuvieron una noche cultural y pidieron a los ninos vestirse con trajes de los paises que representan. Ellos quisieron usar sus trajes guatemaltecos.

Most of you know that Isabelle likes to sleep with company. When she is asleep she will look for your face and chest and put her hand on it. She has done it since she was a baby... it's cute.

Muchos de ustedes saben que Isabelle le gusta dormir acompanada. Cuando esta dormida ella busca la cara y el pecho y pone su manita encima para sentirte. Lo ha hecho desde que era bebe... es linda.

Easter 2010

My laptop crashed right before Easter and I couldn't update my blog for over two months. So here I'm posting about our last Easter.
Mi laptop se arrunio cabal antes de la Pascua y no pude actualizar mi blog por mas de dos meses. Entonces aqui estoy escribiendo acerca de nuestra ultima Pascua.

A couple days before Easter my mother-in-law watched our kids while we went to the movies and she kept the kids busy decorating eggs. Andre is the one that took the pictures.
Un par de dias antes de Pascua mi suegra cuido a los chicos mientras que Jer y yo fuimos al cine, ella los mantuvo ocupados decorando huevos. Andre tomo las fotos. On Easter Sunday we had General Conference. We listened to conference on our computer on Saturday but Sunday we went to the Cahan's home. During the break we hid eggs around their yard. Kasey said I didn't buy the good stuff for the kiddos (hard candy instead of chocolate), so she got her own the share with the kids :o) My children are not picky, they take anything sweet!

El domingo de pascua tuvimos Conferencia General de la Iglesia. Escuchamos la primera parte del sabado en la computadora y el domingo nos fuimos a la casa de los Cahan. Durante el descanso escondimos los huevos de pascua en el jardin. Kasey dijo que yo no habia comprado buenos dulces (no chocolates) asi que ella saco los suyos y compartio con los ninos :o) Mis chiquitos no son delicados, ellos comen cualquier cosa que sea dulce!

Little Photographer

When Andre was about 6 year-old he started showing some interest in taking pictures. He liked asking for my camera to take pictures and I wasn't sure to let him play with it. Finally he received a digital camera as a present when he turned 7. It is a small digital camera for kids. Pictures are not good and the screen is to small. It takes video but without sound. Last Christmas we decided to invest in a better one for him. We bought a Sony Cybershot and he loves it. He takes it every where he goes and takes pictures of things he sees around. He has a very good eye... just like his daddy. Jeremy is a good help for him. I wanted to post some of the many, many pictures he has taken.

Cuando Andre tenia como 6 anos empezo a mostrar interes en tomar fotos. El pedia usar nuestra camara para tomar fotos y no estabamos convencidos en que era buena idea dejarlo jugar con esta. Finalmente recibio una camara digital como regalo de cumpleanos. Es una camara sencilla para ninos. Las fotos no son de buena calidad y la pantalla es muy pequena. Toma video pero sin sonido. La Navidad pasada decidimos en invertir en una buena camara. Le compramos una Sony Cybershot and le encanto. La lleva a todas partes donde va para tomar fotos de lo que esta a su alrededor. El tiene un buen ojo... tal como su papi. Jeremy lo esta guiando por el buen camino de la fotografia. Yo solo queria mostrar unas de las muchas, muchas fotos que el ha tomado.

Kindergarten Concert 2010

Naomi had her Kindergarten Concert last week! She was very excited about it. The program was about 45 minutes long and they sang many songs. The children did a fantastic job and of course, it's thanks to the teachers that put a lot of effort and time into teaching these little ones.

Naomi tuvo su Concierto de Kinder la semana pasada! Ella estaba muy emocionada. El programa tardo unos 45 minutos y cantaron muchas canciones. Los chicos hicieron un buen trabajo y por supuesto es gracias a los maestros que ponen tanto esfuerzo y tiempo en ensenar a los chiquitos.
