Haley's Baptism

On November 28th our sweet Haley was baptized! It was such a beautiful, perfect day! Haley decided that she wanted to be baptized in the ocean, so we went to Escambron Beach and found a perfect little spot where the waves were calm and it was nice and secluded. We had so many friends come to support us, so even though we couldn't have our family here we weren't alone! I'm so grateful for all of my friends here, they really are like my family away from home!! I don't know what I would do with out their friendship and support! The only thing that could have gone better that day was to have the baptismal clothes! Unfortunately we weren't able to get them so our friends had a white shirt and pants for Sean to wear and a little white dress for Haley to wear, thank you so much Kevin and Jackie!
Haley was confirmed the next day in her beautiful baptism dress that her Grandma sent from Utah, it was so spiritual and emotional, I'm so proud of my Haley!
It was a beautiful day here in Puerto Rico, and after we had Haley's baptism we went down to the water and enjoyed a very nice day at the beach with some of our friends!

I mixed up the order here, but here below is Haley and Sean walking in to the ocean for her baptism and the above picture is them walking out after, it was so cool!

Funny Fox!

So I thought since it had been so long since I had posted new pictures that I would put a bunch of my cute little Fox!!! He is growing and developing more everyday! I can't believe he's almost 16 months old!!!
Here he is swimming in our backyard, we weren't planning on him going to swiming, so he has his regular diaper on and a t-shirt but when he woke up from his nap and saw that his big brother and sister were swimming, he couldn't help but join in!! this is how he gets into the pool, it is so cute!! And that's not poop on his diaper, just mud from when he sat down, seriously!!
Look how big his diaper got! He didn't even mind!
What a cute, sturdy little man!
A while ago the kids had a fire safety day at school and brought home firefighter hats, so Fox decided to try one on!! He is so photogenic!!

Popcorn anyone? This is the bowl we usually use for popcorn on Sunday nights, but Fox found it and decided it looked like a good chair! And he fit perfectly inside!
He loves to try and sit in or on everything, he always kicks Tink out of her dog bed and takes a seat for awhile!! I love my little Fox, and he is crying for me right now so I better get off the computer!!!

Weston's Owie

Most of you know the story by now but I had to put these pictures up for my friends and family who haven't seen Weston already! Unfortunately Weston cut his head open about a week and a half ago. He was being babysat by my friend and so I sent him home on the bus to her neighborhood after school. Usually this works out fine but this time the bus driver let Weston get off at the wrong bus stop and then left before making sure Weston had found my friend!!! Needless to say this made me very angry!! But Weston wasn't worried, he saw a park he has played at before and decided to go play, but as he was playing he ran into a pole and split his head open, someone who was working near by saw Weston bleeding and crying and took care of him and then my friend got there, since he wasn't at the bus stop that she was waiting at, and he was okay! But later after we picked him up I had to take him to the emergency room, so he could get stitches. And it was quite a nightmare! We were there for 6 hours and the doctor barely spoke English, then at 1 o'clock in the morning when we were finally done, I tried to leave and all the exits were blocked! I finally found the ONE way out and realized when I got to the ticket booth that I didn't have any cash, and here you have to pay for parking when you go to the hospital, so I had to back out of the line and go to an ATM on the other side of the hospital, SERIOUSLY! It really sucked! Then we finally got home and went to bed!!!!! Weston's cut is healing quite well, I took his stitches out on my own because I was NOT about to go back to the emergency room, and I just hope that we never have to do that again!
Here's Weston faking a sad face for his cut! He's so funny, as long as you didn't touch his cut he was happy as a clam!

Halloween, Finally!!!

So like a month ago it was Halloween, and I can finally put my pictures up!! Haley was a Vampire, Weston was Superman and Fox was a dragon!!! First we had a ward party and trunk-or-treat, then the next night we went to my friend Jojo's neighborhood and went trick-or-treating!

As you can see I dressed up as an F.B.I. agent, not that the female agents really dress like this!! I don't know what my problem was but I couldn't seem to hold still for a picture that night, LOL!



Weston and his buddy Hudson, AKA Spiderman and Superman!

Family Pictures

So we will see if my internet will work long enough to make a new post! I have been out of the internet world and blogging world for quite sometime now, and I really miss it!!! We have had a lot of trouble finding a good interent service and we still haven't found one. But I think we are getting a better connection so I'm crossing my fingers that I will be able to join the blogging world again!!!

It worked!!!!! It worked!!!!!! I'm so happy, I can finally make new posts on my blog, and look at all my friends' and families' blogs!! Yeah!! Hopefully my internet keeps working, and I can continue to update my blog, check my email, my facebook and whatever else I want to do!!!


So anyway, my talented friend Katie was the one who took these beautiful pictures and I love them! They are just what I wanted for our family pictures here in Puerto Rico!!!! Thank you so much Katie for sharing your time and talent!!!

Finally, A New Post!!!

So I have been so out of it lately, for the past 4 months, because I was out of town for the summer and because I had no internet when I got back!! Well I'm finally back and I have a lot to catch up on, but I wanted to post this picture of Fox that I just took the other day!!!
I have been painting our house and when I paint I need Fox to be entertained and unable to reach the paint! I put him on this little bike and he loved it!!!
He pushes the buttons and pushes himself back word, he hasn't quite figured out how to go forward!! It is so dang cute!!! Hopefully I will be able to do some more posting from my summer experiences, it was so fun being in the states and seeing all of my family!! But I am so happy to be back here with all of my friends!!

My Mom

So of course this is late, because all my posts are late, but I just wanted to tell everyone how awesome my Mom is!! This is a picture of me and my Mom when I was just a squishy newborn. And from the moment I was born until now she has been there for me! She gave birth to and raised 7 children, I was the middle child, and I never felt like I didn't get enough attention from her or that she loved my siblings more than me. She still provides for me, loves me and would do anything for me! I really couldn't ask for a better Mom.
Here are me and all my sisters climbing and wrestling with my Mom, of course she's holding me because I was her favorite, J/K!! But really I know that all of her children are her favorite, and I see how much she loves each one of us!! She is beautiful inside and out, she has such a strong testimony of the church, she loves the great outdoors, she went back to school after having all of us and got her Masters Degree, she's willing to sacrifice anything of hers for someone else, and is also the most fun Grandma (Mema) that my kids could ever want! I love you Mama!!! You are truly a wonderful, amazing, Mother and friend!!!

Haley's New Haircut!

Before, Haley's hair was even longer than this since this picture was taken about 5 months ago, she said people would step on it when she was sitting down! It was getting really long, so it was time for a change!
After, we ended up cutting 7 inches off Haley's hair and after a little bit a debating we cut bangs too!! Haley's been wanting bangs for awhile and I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with them, even though I thought they would look really cute, but I'm glad Haley was persistent, because I think she looks adorable!!!!
Here she is from the back, her hair used to go to her bum!! Don't mind her jammies!!! She loves to wear Sean's t-shirts to sleep in!! I remember me and my sisters wore my Dad's shirts too!!!

Easter and Weston's Birthday!!

So I'm posting these two events together since I should have posted them like a month ago!! I did put some of these on facebook so sorry to those who have already seen them!! But this is Easter morning after the kids got there Easter baskets!! I love the expression on Fox's face !! Don't they look beautiful in their Easter Suday clothes!!
The family in front of our church building, it was a nice hot day that day, as always!
When the kids woke up they found their Easter baskets then they had to find the eggs they had dyed the night before!

They had so much fun coloring the eggs! I think they did a pretty good job!! I love watching my kids enjoy themselves!
Wseton turned 5 on April 6th and we had a great party for him!! Here he is with the presents he got from the family!! We had his party during the day and he opened his presents from us at night after dinner!!
He wanted to go to McDonalds and play and eat with his friends, so we did!!! That is definitely one of Weston's favorite things to do, play and be crazy with his friends!!! I'm so grateful he has so many good friends here!!!
I forgot to take a picture of his cool Lightning McQueen cupcake cake before we dug in, so this is the aftermath of the kids eating and smiling!! It was a good time! And thanks to my friends who came and helped I survived with out having Sean there!!! Happy Birthday my sweet little crazy boy!!!

Johnny Depp Movie!!

So last Friday I was an extra in a Johnny Depp movie called "The Rum Diary", and it was so much fun!!! This is a picture of me and my friends that were in it with me!! From left it is Lisa, Julia, Heather, Brianna, and me!!! They are all in my ward and are awesome girls!
The movie is set in the 1950's so we were able to wear cool dresses and have our hair done up like they did in the 50's! It was so cool to see everyone there all looking like they lived in that time period. It really felt like we had gone back in time! We were in a party/ball scene and did the background for that scene. We were paired up with dates and sent to different areas of the scene and had to interact and pretend like we were talking and enjoying the party. The coolest part was when me and my partner (who was a really nice guy, my friends got stuck with a crazy one) anyway we were coming in to the party and Johnny Depp cut us off trying to get in, so I was like inches away from him acting with him!! It was amazing! I'm pretty sure you will be able to see me in the movie! We did the scene like a hundred times and I thought my feet were going to fall off!! But I even talked to Johnny Depp and he touched my arm! It was pretty cool, I've never been that close to a big movie star before!!
This was the sunrise we saw on our way back to our cars!! We atarted at 3 p.m. on Friday and ended at 6 a.m. on Saturday!!! It was a long night but totally worth it!!
Julia, Me and Heather right before they took us over to the hotel to shoot! I wish they would have let us take our cameras to the set so we could have gotten a picture with Johnny!
Here is the back view of my awesome 50's do!! It looked really cool!!
Another view of my hair do! I'm do glad that I was able to have this experience and I will never forget it, but I don't think I would want to do it again real soon, it was a lot of waiting and standing and doing things over and over, but they did feed us good food and we did get paid $125 to do it, AND I'm in a movie with Johnny Depp, it's pretty sweet!
