"What Do My Girls Do and Love?"

I don't particularly like buying chips and junk food for my family but, Isabelle's favorite chip is "Cheetos" so the other day while at Costco I saw this huge bag of chips and I had to buy it for her. She was so happy that she hugged it and asked: Is it all mine?How could I say no to this angel?

Ariana and Naomi were playing with dolls and pretending to be moms. After awhile they asked me if they could make a treat by them selves so I said "sure, but what ever you make, you eat". They were in the kitchen for a long time and finally I decided to check what they were making. It looks disgusting, doesn't it? I asked them what the ingredients were and this is what they said:

• peanut butter


• apples


• sour cream


• blueberry yogurt


• apple butter


• strawberry syrup


• caramel syrup


• chocolate syrup


• sugar


• trail mix


• bananas


• oranges


• drops of juice


• ice cubes


• plantains


• water

I'm sure they will spend a lot of time in the bathroom now :o)

"Another Year of Pinewood Derby Car"

Jeremy loves helping Andre with all the Cub Scout projects. Some of them are more fun than others but he always is willing to do it with his son. This year they had a lot of fun making this good looking derby car "Death Racer". They put armour on the windows and a gatling gun on the front. I'm always impressed on what one can make with a piece of plain wood and some creativity.

A Jeremy le encanta ayudar a Andre con los projectos the Cub Scout. Algunos de ellos son mas divertidos que otros pero el siempre esta dispuesto a hacerlos con su hijo. Este ano ellos hicieron un carro muy bonito al que nombraron Death Racer". Le pusieron armadura en las ventanas y una arma en el frente. Siempre me impresiono lo que uno puede hacer con un pedazo de madera y creatividad.

Unfortunately, we didn't take pictures of the block of wood that they started in the beginning.

Desafortunadamente no tomamos fotos del pedazo de madera con el que se empezo.They used paper clips to make the gatling gun.

Here are the cars that competed in the race. The boys have the opportunity to have their cars race about 8 times. Andre's won first place a few of them. It was hard to beat the fastest ones :o) Los ninos tienen la oportunidad de competir unas 8 veces. El carro de Andre gano el primer lugar algunas de estas. Fue dificil superar los mas rapidos :o)

"Boys Day Out Shooting"

Jeremy has a new hobby, "shooting". When I met Jeremy I new that he likes guns but I had no idea how much he "loves" guns and shooting :o) A few weeks ago Jeremy took Andre for a Father-Son-Day and of course they went out shooting. Jeremy tiene un nuevo pasatiempo, "disparar". Cuando lo conoci yo sabia que le gustaban las armas pero no tenia idea lo tanto que le encantan estas y disparar :o) Hace unas semanas, Jeremy llevo a Andre a disparar en su Dia de Hijo y Padre.

According to Jer, Andre is a very good shooter.

Our Friend's Baptism

About 10 years ago we met the Salmond family. Desiree is the youngest of them and by the time we met she was about 10. Not too long ago, Desiree called Jeremy to ask him to baptized her into our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jeremy was honored to do so. The sister missionaries, Desiree and Jeremy Des and her mom Annette Ariana was very sick that day so she couldn't go to church but she begged us to take her to see the baptism later that day.

Fun at the Mall

A couple of months ago, one of my friends had a birthday and I offered to watch her children while she went out with her hubby. We love those kids and ours love having friends over. After dinner they started watching a movie when I asked them to get ready to go out. They didn't even think about it and were ready quickly. Jer and I took them to the Mall and did some wall climbing. I didn't do it but made Jer do it with the kiddos :o)

Hace un par de meses, una amiga cumplio años y yo ofreci cuidar a sus hijos mientras ella salio con su espocito. Queremos mucho a esos niños y los mios les encantan tener amigos en la casa. Despues de cener ellos empezaron a ver una pelicula cuando les pedi que se arreglaran para salir. No lo pensaron dos veces y se alistaron rapidisimo. Jer y yo los llevamos al mall para escalar la pared. Yo soy gallina para eso pero hice que Jeremy lo hiciera con los chicos :o) The girls spent a lot of time looking at pretty dresses{... hmmm.. girls}We also let them ride some toys. And this is the part that they enjoyed the most... CANDY!

We all had a great evening at the Mall. Todos la pasamos muy bien en le Mall.
