A little bit of love.

Last week was my 9Th anniversary. My week was so busy and we had multiple guests in our home; we never really got a chance to "celebrate". I wanted to take a few moments to brag about my wonderfully handsome husband. Now, my husband does not believe in destiny or anything "meant to be". But I definitely do. When we met I was supposed to be in Oklahoma; the girl who was moving into my apartment needed to move her stuff in that night; I just happened to not make my flight out of Utah that morning; her good friend helping her move happened to be one very handsome young man named Cesar. He asked me out that very night and we have been inseparable ever since. Ces, makes me a better person. He has pushed me out of my shell since the first moment I met him. I've been able to do and see things I never would have without him. He has taught me how to never give up on myself, to always strive to be better than I am today. He has taught me how to serve with out complaining. He makes me so incredibly happy. I could never imagine my life without him. He is a wonderful father. I love to watch him come home and see the kids turn inside out with excitement, even Benjamin squeals with delight. They truly love him and he feels the same way about them. I don't know what we would do with out him. He works so hard to make sure we have everything we need. We love to laugh with Ces, one of my favorite noises in the whole world is Ces' laugh. I feel very lucky and blessed to know that I will have this man as my eternal companion.

Love that...

....these two are the best of friends.

Today while in the car, my sister mentioned that the kids would have individual sleepovers at grandmama's. Miguel put his arm around his little brother and said "No, I will never ever leave my brother! He would be so sad. Don't worry Gabe I will never leave you. Any where I go, you will go to."

Things like this just make my heart so happy.

Sleep Over!

My kids love living next to grandma for this very reason...sleepovers. They each take turn having their special night with grandma. This was Miguel's turn and he had a blast!! Grandma got him his own set of tools and they built a bug barn. He thought he was pretty hot stuff!

Love that....

I love that he calls himself, "Dobby" instead of "Gabey"

still growing....

Benjamin is now 8 months old. Time has flown by! He has been crawling for almost 2 months now and he is trying really hard to walk. He pulls himself up on everything he can; some things he shouldn't because they move and he falls and there are lots of tears. :( But he just gets right back up and tries again. He has 2 teeth;which are like razors! He loves to go outside with his brothers and sister. He actually goes to the back door and bangs on it and "yells" until I let him go out. He thinks he is one of the big kids. He LOVES to smile and laugh. He believes everything is so funny! We love having our Benji.

My little helper.

I couldn't do this without my little mommy.

She was rocking and singing to him. It was such a sweet moment that I had to take a picture before I took Ben from her.

Fun in the sun

Since my Mom has a pool in her backyard and she only lives 7 mins away we have spent the majority of our summer in her pool. The fact that it's been a record year for high temps. (107*) has had only the slightest influence on this.
