The Taliercio Family

Christmas at the Taliercio house.

2011-12-29T11:49:00.001-07:00

We had a really good Christmas this year. Christmas eve Matias had to work from 4pm to midnight so the girls and I watched movies and played games. I taught them how to play battleship. They had so much fun. We also decorated a cup and plate to put Santa's cookies on. They loved it. We made red snickerdoodles with green sprinkles. Before they went to bed we went outside and sprinkled reindeer food on the grass. We had been tracking santa all day so before bed we looked to see where he was then all 3 girls rushed to bed. Before Lex went to bed she told me I better get to bed before santa comes because if he didn't come because I was awake she would be mad.
Matias got home around 1:30am and I had everything all set up.
In the morning the girls got up and played in their stockings for a little bit before opening gifts. Ok the best part was watching Sayge open up her first gift... a Monster High doll. Thats all she has been talking about and the look on her face was priceless. I have never heard her squeal as loud as she did. I swear she was about to have a heart attack. It was awesome. Alexye wanted the barbie movie Princess Charm School and was so excited when she opened it. Sayge and Alexye also got a Fijit. Alexye got purple Sayge got pink. They loved them. They dance with them and everything. They also got awesome Mp3 players. Listening to them sing while listening to them is comical. They don't realize how loud they are with headphones on.
Angelyse got a vmotion and also a handheld vsmile. Her and Breky got a power wheels convertible and they both love riding around in it. Breky got some Weebles which she plays with nonstop and a cute puppy that sings and plays games. Matias got a University of Wyoming sweater and some cute gifts from the girls and Matias got me a handmade jewelry box thats gorgeous. I also got a Miche bag from Eddie and Paul!! My dad and mom gave us a picture of the family so now I can put new pictures up. My Grandma B gave me a picture of my Grandpa Benson. That was one of my favorite gifts! It was a really good morning. Then we had our friends over for Christmas dinner. Our Christmas was great. Even without all the gifts everyone got we had so much fun as a family and we have some awesome memories that will last longer than anything else. We really appreciate all of our families and friends for making this Christmas season special!

Holidays so far..

2011-12-02T10:56:00.001-07:00

I know it's been awhile since I posted last so I will just give a short update of what we have done so far...

We had a Halloween party at Chad's house with their family and mom and dad and Grams and Danny. The girls had a lot of fun. We went to pumpkinland at Vineyard Garden and the kids had a blast running around the maze and seeing the animals. Then we went back to Chad's house and hung out and played bingo. It was a lot of fun. Then for Halloween my mom and dad came up so we got the girls all ready. Sayge was a Vampire Queen and Alexye was a witch and Angelyse was also a witch and Breklyn was a pumpkin. We went down town and trick or treated then we went to a stake trunk or treat then to a bunch of houses. We ended up at Brenden and Kelsi's at the end of the night. Halloween was great!

For Thanksgiving we were able to make it down to Arizona and it was so much fun! One of the first days we got there mom and Melia and I went to an afternoon showing of Breaking Dawn.... can I just say it was AWESOME!!!! After that Sayge and Alexye went to play at Tia Meli's house and Matias, Paul, and I took Breklyn and Angelyse to get their ears pierced! Yes there were some tears but they didn't last too long. Then we went to Melia's house and hung out. That night Matias and I went on a double date with Paul and Eddie. We went to a buffet at Casino Arizona....the food was to die for...especially the desserts that we lined the table with. We had a blast. The whole week was great. The girls went swimming at Pam's twice and we got to hang out and have dinner with them. We loved it. On Thanksgiving I got to see my Uncle Greg, Aunt Leslie, Aunt Kristy, and Uncle Juan and my cousins that I have not seen in years. It was so nice to be able to catch up with all of them. Then we had Thanksgiving dinner and hung out with family and planned black friday...or basically black thursday since it started at 9pm. We went shopping with Pam and Meli. It was crazy fun! Then we all recovered on friday. Saturday we went to the zoo with Meli, Jason, Amanda, and dad. It was so hot. I guess we were so used to the cold weather. We love the Phoenix zoo. Then it was off to take family pictures! Pam is an amazing photographer. I love how our pictures turned out. We also went to the Mesa Temple to see the lights. Its been a couple years since we have gone. It was just as good as i remember. We had a really good time down there. I didn't want to leave. Thanks everyone for the great Halloween and Thanksgiving!!

8 yrs and counting.

2011-10-11T10:49:00.001-06:00

8 years ago I made the best decision I have ever made and I married the best man in the world. In the past 8 yrs Matias has listened to me cry, we have yelled at each other (well I yell Matias does the whole silent treatment thing), we have spent moments not talking to each other and we have spent a lot of the time disagreeing with each other (although I am the one who is ALWAYS right...j/k) We have eaten burnt dinners together, gotten through sick children and 4 hard pregnancies together, we have had to endure losing loved ones, we have moved a lot, and we have gone through a lot of trials together, but most of all the past 8 years we have laughed together, completed our family by having 4 beautiful girls, spent holidays together, played a lot of games, gone sledding, taken trips together, gone on walks, played around with the girls, we have gone through first days of school and a lot of school programs and many more little adventures and we have LOVED every minute of it all. The good, the bad and the just plain ugly. Every moment got us to where we are today and I would not change a thing!! We were meant to be with each other and I am so excited to be celebrating 8 yrs with the most amazing guy that is the perfect match for me.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!

Loving life!

Life is GREAT.

How could it not be when you have awesome family and friends like ours!

Things are going really good for us in the Taliercio household. Sayge and Alexye are still loving school. They go in at 7:30am for a before school reading and math program and they don't get home til 5:15pm because of an awesome after school program that lets them take different classes, like cooking, computers, World travel, and lots of other fun stuff. The girls really love it. Sayge is doing amazing!! She can't get enough of school. She is doing great reading and math... better than I ever did with math. Thankfully Matias is there to help her with math homework or when he is not available thank goodness Kelsi is around..haha. Sayge is also doing great in speech the only sound she has to work on is her "r" sound. Oh and good news... it looks like Sayge will have her front teeth sooner than we all thought it looks like they are coming down. I am so excited..and of course so is Sayge. It is going to be weird seeing her with teeth she will look and sound completely different. It has been about 4 to 5 years since she has had front teeth. It will be great for her though.
Alexye is also doing amazingly in school. Her reading has gotten so much better and she started to love doing her homework. Lex has come out of her shell a lot and has just taken right off and is no longer the shy little girl we all once knew. But with the great changes she has made and with her personality totally making a huge appearance so has her attitude. That little girl has her mommies attitude.. I know scary right. Sometimes its difficult to deal with but most the time it can be quite comical.She is so much fun to have around. She keeps us guessing as to what is going to come next. All her teachers have told us how sweet she is and that she is very eager to please and learn.I totally agree with them Lex is the sweetest little girl ever. She is growing up way too fast!
Angelyse is a little ball of energy. She just turned 3 on the 9th of Sept and she is so much fun to have around. he has the funnest personality and she is so mischevious. You can always tell she is up to something by her facial expressions. She is obsessed with Dora at the moment oh and babies. She carries our cat around like a baby and the poor things lets Angel just throw her around. She is very eager to let us know if her sisters are doing something they are not suppose to. We are hoping to get her into preschool soon. Oh her favorite thing to do right now is she will say I love you but then smile and say papa after when she is saying it to me and when I tell her no say mama she will then say I love you baby for Breklyn. She is such a nerd. (just like her papa)
Breklyn just turned 5 months today!! I know its crazy how fast she is growing. She is such a good baby. She normally just lays on the floor and rolls around. She is very stealthy. She holds her own bottle and she has started to get up on her hands and knees and she tries to crawl. She is so happy a lot of the time. She is always smiling and she laughs a lot. Especially when Matias scares her she will jump then just laugh. She still fits in some 0-3 month clothes. This is new to us since usually our babies are huge butterballs by now, she is definitely the only one to stay small so long. :)

We have been having so much fun lately, We have gone to our first demolition derby, we have been to a couple parades, we went to an air show, and we are always having a blast one way or another. We are very lucky to have such great family and friends!

Alexye and 4 nights of complete Chaos!

2011-10-06T17:21:00.000-06:00

We had what I call the week of chaos. It all started when Matias was at work and I was playing cards with Kelsi and Brenden, Lex was in trouble for not listening, hitting, screaming, and basically having a complete melt down the night before. (night #1 as I call it) and had to go to bed early well she kept getting up to "go potty" well an hour later I swear she had "gone potty" about 15 times. So I called her in to tell her she needs to go to bed and I notice black all over her face... yes people for some odd reason (I think mainly she was mad at me so wanted to get back at me for being a mean mom) Alexye had gotten into my makeup. I guess I should consider myself lucky that this is the 1st time any of my girls have done this. She tried putting on mascara (hence the black on her face.) but not only did she try to put it on she decided it would be a good time to become an artist and used her bedroom walls (ad some clothes in her closet) as the canvas and my lipstick as her paintbrush.....oh the joy. My foundation and powder were dumped in drawers and my eyeshadow gone. So a that moment mommy wasn't happy at all, but surprisingly I kept my cool as much as I could. As I said before Matias was at work (lucky him) But we have awesome friends, Kelsi helped me clean up as Brenden looked up ways to get make up out of clothes. So that was night # 2 since night #1 was just her screaming, hitting, and not listening. Well on the next night we were having game night..well I shouldn't call it game night since we do it every night (LOVE IT!!) and I had made cookies and Again Alexye was going to bed early (for the whole make up thing) and I had put the cookies to cool down and we kept hearing noises in the kitchen (at this moment we though Lexye was asleep and I was rather excited that she was being so good by not coming out every 5 min) well Kelsi goes to get cookies and lo and behold there is like 5 missing cookies. I thought Angelyse took them but I decided to ask Alexye just in case. I have to totally give her credit because she looked my straight in the eye and said she didn't do it. I completely believed her til Sayge ran in and said there were cookie crumbs everywhere on Alexye's bed. So basically Alexye was sneaking in the hallway and taking cookies. She is GOOD!! I was actually facing the hallway and didn't see her once. This may sound horrible but I am completely impressed with how good she can "go stealth" I was more mad that she lied to me than her taking the cookies. But of course I couldn't let her think it was ok so I talked to her about taking stuff that is not hers is called stealing. So even as hectic as it was Night #3 Not too bad. Well Night # 4 Matias was home and it was a typical night of fun, laughter and card games. I love my husband to death but the prior nights he kept saying Alexye would never do anything if he was home....if he only knew what was about to happen he would never have made that statement. So I thought the screaming an hitting and the makeup was bad well nothing can be compared to night # 4. I just have three words for you....purple nail polish... yeah. So Alexye was being pretty good at first and of course my dear sweet husband kept letting everyone know it was because he was home and she knows not to do anything. Well she then went "potty" and was in there for awhile and then we didn't hear from her. Matias decided to check on her and the next thing I know he brings her out with purple nail polish on her shirt. Lex decided to take nail polish and paint her toes, the walls, the bunk bed, and toys. (of course only Sayge and Angelyse's toys had the pleasure to be painted purple and Alexye's toys were spared during the attack) Of course my first action was to let rub it in to Matias that he was wrong. (yes I know my priorities were a little messed up but for those of you who know Matias and I really well you probably are not surprised by this.) Again, We have the greatest friends ever and thanks to Kelsi and Brenden the clean up job went pretty fast and we got all the nail polish off of everything except some clothes. (its a miracle they actually still hang out with us. lol) The sad part was is that I had told Alexye if she was really good that night then the next day I would paint her nails whatever color or how ever many colors she wanted. I guess she couldn't wait. I am happy to report that the next niht she was FANTASTIC and she hasn't gotten into anything since. While all this was happening I was not happy about it at all and I was so mad but now looking back it makes me laugh. Alexye is just like me. The funniest part of the week was when I sat down to talk to Alexye after all this and I told her that she not only looks exactly like me she also acts exactly like me, and she looked up at me with her big blue eyes and all innocently said, "So its your fault." I couldn't help it I laughed so hard. I seriously love that girl!! She always keeps things interesting. She is my sweet, loving, chaotic, bratty little girl, in other words like mother, like daughter. :)

Great way to end the summer,

As you can tell from the pictures I put up we have had a blast the past month. First we had our Brother Paul and Niece Alana up for a week, It was Alana's first time coming to see us since we lived in Manila so we wanted to show her how awesome her Tio Matias and Tia Misti could be...j/k We wanted her to have alot of fun so we planned a couple of day trips to take them on. First we just took a day trip down to Salt Lake and we went around Temple square and into the visitor centers and the new buildings around it. They had a Children's Museum type thing and they got to dress up and dance, (and yes Matias danced and dressed up too) and they got to go "fishing" and draw pictures and all sorts of cool stuff. They loved it. Then we figured since we were already in Salt Lake we would take them to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was Sayge's 2nd time and the rest of us have never been. It was so much fun. The girls loved petting the sting rays. Angelyse was even loving it. Then the next day we went to Bear World near Rexburg, Idaho. This would be our 2nd time there and we still loved every moment of being there. This time we actually went on the curator tour where we got to feed the bears. It was crazy! We went around the park so many times but it was so much fun. Then we came home that night and the next day we ended up going to Sweetwater County Fair for the day. We go to see Clay Walker in concert!! Seriously we had a blast! Then the next day we relaxed since Matias worked the next day. When we weren't taking our day trips we hung out in Evanston and went to where the buffalo and elk are and we walked around the river and we had a picnic. We had such a blast with them and we are glad they could come up and join us and go to all the places we planned on going this summer. Then last week we ended up going to Yellowstone. The girls went tothe Ranger Station and grabbed a packet that they had to complete to become a Jr Ranger. It took about a day and a half to complete it but in the end their hard work paid off and Sayge and Alexye became Jr Rangers. Matias and I are really proud that they stuck to it and earned their badges. Yellowstone was breath taking as usual and we saw so many elk it was crazy. Sadly no bears this time but we still loved it. Then off course between all this we have been having lots of get togethers with our friends. Our game nights are so much fun and we even learned a fun new card game. (Matias thinks he rocks at it but next time I will be sure to knock his ego down a peg or two..j/k) Anyways, We have done so much and had such a blast this summer its crazy to think it is already almost over. The girls start school on the 29th of August, so we have a little over a week left til summer ends and its back to getting into a routine. We have a lot to look forward to though, Angelyse turns 3 on September 9th we are going to take her to the hogle zoo, its crazy to think but she has never been to the zoo in Ut but she has been to the Buenos Aires zoo in Argentina and the Idaho falls zoo, and Breklyn is getting to the age where she is starting to do a lot of new and exciting things. My girls seem to grow a lot during the summer, Sayge and Alexye seem way more grown up and Angelyse is even trying to be as grown up as her older sisters and has been more independent than she used to be and Breklyn well our now 12 pound baby is growing way to fast! She has learned how to scoot herself in circles so she can see around the room. So as summer ends I know we can look back on it and say that we did so much stuff and we had an awesome time doing it. There are no regrets this summer and we are looking forward to the school year and everything that comes with it.

Summer so far...

We got Breklyn, Alexye, and Angelyse blessed on the 22nd of May while we had all our parents up.

The past 2 months has gone by so fast! We got the girls blessed, We went to Bear World in Idaho (that was so much fun!!) We went to Yellowstone with Matias's family, Alexye turned 6!!! Crazy to think Sayge is 7 and Alexye is 6 already!! We went down to Provo and I got to see my half sister I have not seen in 15 years. We went to Provo and watched fireworks with Nana and Pops on their front yard and had a fun bbq, We have hung out with awesome friends and have had a couple bbqs with them. 4th of July was a blast with lots of fireworks and great company. The girls have been running through sprinklers and we have been going for our usual walks. We have been going to rodeos a lot this summer too. We took Breklyn to her 2 month checkup and she now weighs 10 pounds 11 ounces (she is in the 50 percentile in weight) and she is 1 ft 10.75 inches tall (she is in the 90 percentile for height so she is going to be a tall girl!) She smiles a lot and is starting to make noises when you talk to her. Angelyse has been being her crazy fun self. She is so much fun to be around. Alexye loves being 6 and she can't wait for school to start since she will be in 1st grade. She is so great at being a big sister!! Sayge has been watching the women's world cup with Matias a lot, She wants to go to the next one in 2015 that's in Canada. (she took after Matias) The next month will also be fun we have a couple trips planned, camping in Yellowstone, going to Cheyenne, Wy and just little things before school starts. I will try to update my blog more often as we do things. and I would go into more details about everything we have been doing but it would take way too long since we always seem to be up and going and doing a lot of fun stuff!!

A little scary, (and graphic)

2011-05-22T21:26:00.000-06:00

Yesterday started off as a regular saturday, Matias worked til 4pm and my parents came up and Matias's parents And Bryce were on their way from Az. At 4:30pm we went to walmart with my mom. When i got out of the car i noticed some bleeding so went into walmarts bathroom and the bleeding got worse, thank goodness my mom was there and helped me clean up. by the time we got back to the car my pants were soaked in blood so we rushed to the ER. when we got to the er blood was dripping off my pants because they were so soaked, the nurse took one look at me and called a code and they got me in a room by now i had already lost a lot of blood and they hurried and gave me 2 ivs and in their rush they blew a vein. they had my dr come prep me for emergency surgery to stop me from hemorrhaging. when i stood up to get into the wheel chair the nurse freaked a little because blood just poured down for 2 min til it slowed a little so could sit. it looked like had just been in a horrific car accident. thankfully the surgery stopped the beeding. guess there was still a little piece of placenta attached to my uterus so my body was trying to push it out and that caused me to hemorrhage. the dr said if i would have waited 10-15 more min i would have bled out. it scares me to think how close I came to not being here for my family, on a much brighter note since all the family was here today we blessed breklyn, alexye, and angelyse. i will post pics when can. I am typing all this on my phone so forgive me for all the errors.

She's here!

Change is a great thing!

2011-04-29T21:59:00.001-06:00

There have been a lot of changes the past month. The biggest change is we moved to Evanston, Wy on April 9th. We absolutely love it here. The girls love their new school and have already made a lot of new friends. They also love their teachers. Matias loves his new job and really enjoys the people he works with. The house we are renting is reAlly nice I love it. It's 4 bedrooms and it has a living room and a family room downstairs. We have more room than we know what to do with. It's really a cute house. The moving process went great thanks to our sister Melia and brothers Dan and Paul. We moved on the 9th and the house was completely unpacked on the 11th. We could no have done it without all the help. We have awesome friends who lent us trailers and helped bring our stuff from Kemmerer to Evanston. Thanks again everyone for all the help we really appreciate everyone's help! Anyways, we also have made it to our 37th week in the pregnancy! I had my 1st dr appointment yesterday with my new dr and I really like him! Breklyn is in position to come and I am 1 cm dilated. The only thing that sucks is shes posterior. (I think that's the real name for it) but the dr says she most likely will turn when labor starts. Sayge was that way too I actually delivered her that way because they didn't notice she was posterior. So we could have a baby at any time. I turn 38 weeks on Sunday and my next dr appointment is Thursday so who knows what can happen. Another big thing that is coming up is Sayge turn 7 on May 3rd. Where the crap did the time go! I can't believe my little girl will be 7. Also Matias turns 30 on May 9th. He is such an old man... Just kidding. We have had a lot going on and it doesn't seem like things are going to slow down anytime soon but we have loved all the great changes and are looking forward to everything that's to come. I am especially grateful for the awesome man and wonderful little girls that I get to be with during all these moments. Sometimes they drive me nuts but I wouldn't want it any other way. My family rocks!!

Finally some pictures!

We have had a bunch of fun this winter. It has snowed a ton so we have done a lot of sledding... well Matias and the girls have done sledding Breklyn and I just watch and take pictures. We have deer coming up our road everyday and we count at least 20. The bucks are huge and just walk by and stop and look at you if your outside. I actualy had the one that is pictured above walk towards me when I threw it an apple it was only about 5 feet away from me. The girls love all the wildlife around. Matias's job is still going really good. and yes he is still totally amazing and takes really good care of me and he takes his little girls everywhere with him. He is such an amazing papa to his girls. We got lucky with him. The girls are really loving school. Sayge loves first grade. She is doing great in reading and spelling. Alexye does awesome in math in kindergarten and she is picking up on reading pretty good. Angelyse is well.... Angelyse is in her own little world. Her favorite thing is to act like she is "stuck" and she loves Spongebob right now. she is starting to talk a lot more but most of it is just her own little language. Our new soon to be new addition Breklyn or as Matias calls her, Angry Birdie Breklyn Taliercio is doing great. She is moving around so much. So far the pregnancy is still going ok and I dont have to go to Salt Lake unless I have problems. I still am getting weekly shots to keep her in. I really think I will last til April. We finally got a SUV that will fit our entire family. So thats really exciting. Other than all that things are totally normal here. I just cant wait til summer so we can do all the fun things we have planned. We are camping in Yellowstone for a week and we always go to Yellowstone at least 3 times in the summer since we are pretty close. We want to go to Jackson and take little trips that are not too far from home. Well before I go I just have to say thanks to my dad and mom for letting me use their computer.

Made me laugh.

2011-01-29T14:54:00.001-07:00

I had a friend forward me an email and it made me laugh so hard so I decided to put it on my blog, so here it is:

Dear Non-Pregnant Person,

I hope you find these guidelines helpful in your interactions with pregnant women, as failing to follow them may result in serious physical harm. If you are thinking, surely she doesn’t mean me – then you should probably read this twice.

1. The appropriate response to a couple telling you they are having a baby is ‘Congratulations!’ with enthusiasm. Any other response makes you a jerk.

2. Through the wonders of science, we now know that babies are made ONLY by the mother and father – not grandparents. Unless the baby is in your uterus or you are the man that helped put it there, you may not ever use the phrase ‘my baby’.

3. On the same note, unless you made the baby as defined in 2, the pregnancy, birth, and raising of the child are not about you. You do not have input. No one wants to hear your opinion unless they ask for it…

4. The body of a pregnant woman should be treated the same as any other body. You would not randomly touch someone’s stomach if they were not pregnant, nor would you inquire into the condition of their uterus, cervix, or how they plan to use their breasts. Pregnancy does not remove all traces of privacy from a woman.

5. Likewise, no woman wants to hear comments on her weight…ever. A pregnant woman does not find it flattering that you think she is about is pop, must be having twins, looks swollen or has gained weight in her face. Telling her she looks too small only makes her worry that she is somehow starving her baby. Making such comments invite her to critique your physical appearance and you may not act offended. The only acceptable comment on appearance is ‘You look fabulous!’.

6. By the time we are 20-30 years old, most of us have picked up on the fact that the summer is hot. We are hot every summer when we are not pregnant. We don’t need you to point out that we will be miserably hot before the baby comes. Nor do we need to know how badly you will feel for us because we will be pregnant during the summer and how glad you are that YOU will not be pregnant this coming summer.

7. There is a reason that tickets to Labor & Delivery are not yet sold on Ticketmaster. Childbirth is actually not a public event. It may sound crazy, but some women really do not relish the idea of their mother, MIL, or a host of other family members seeing their bare butt and genitals. Also, some people simply feel like the birth of their child is a private and emotional moment to be shared only by the parents. You weren’t invited to be there when the baby was created, you probably won’t be invited to be there when it comes out either.

8. Like everything else in life, unless you receive an invitation, you are NOT invited. This includes doctor appointments, ultrasounds, labor, delivery, the hospital, and the parent’s home. You do not decide if you will be there for the birth or if you will move in with the new parents to ‘help out’. If your assistance is desired, rest assured that you will be asked for it.

9. If you are asked to help after the birth, this means you should clean up the house, help with cooking meals, and generally stay out of the way. Holding the baby more than the parents, interfering with breastfeeding and sleeping schedules, and making a woman who is still leaking fluid from multiple locations lift a finger in housework is not helping.

10. The only people entitled to time with the baby are the parents. Whether they choose to have you at the hospital for the birth or ask for you to wait three weeks to visit, appreciate that you are being given the privilege of seeing their child. Complaining or showing disappointment only encourages the parents to include you less.

Sincerely,

All the Pregnant Women in the World

Our Hospital visit

2011-01-14T13:23:00.001-07:00

The past 3 days have been a whirlwind of craziness, it all started on tuesday when I woke up with cramping. I didn't think too much about it since my whole pregnancy has been filled with cramps well around 10am Matias took Angelyse to the library for story time, around 10:30am the cramps turned into contractions with bleeding. I couldn't get a hold of Matias so I called our awesome neighbor and asked if she could take me to the ER. After dropping me off she went to the library to inform Matias where I was. Well the next couple of hours was spent sitting in the ER getting poked and having an ultrasound to see if baby girl was ok. She was doing great she was a little inactive but they had also been injecting me with morphine since I got to the ER. I got a dose every 40 mins since the pain was horrible. Well the doc was concerned I might have the baby and our hospital is a smaller one and the baby would not even have a chance. I wasn't dialating but they were still concerned especially sine I had been there for almost 6 hours already and I was still in an intense amount of pain so the prepared an ambulance and transported me to the University of Utah hospital. The ride was 3 hours and let's just say thank goodness for morphine!! It only took the edge off but it was better than nothing. We got to the hospital and had to be examined yet again and they ended up doing putting me on the mother and newborn care for the night. The nurses were awesome, they had to deal with me throwing up and contracting and crying all at the same time almost all night. So they would stand by me and rub my back and help me through it. Oh did I mention poor Matias had to rush home and pick up the girls from school and pack for everybody since we were not prepared for any of this he left kemmerer with car packed 1/2 hour after the ambulance and took the girls down to Provo to my parents house. He got to the hospital around 7:30pm. So he was rushing the whole time and was exhausted. The next morning we had more tests done and an ultrasound and everything looked great. I was still in a massive amount of pain so all the tests hurt but it was what needed to be done so we just breathed through it. I still wasn't dialating so they had no idea why I was in so much pain. Well they decided to keep me yet another night and did one more ultrasound and saw my cervix was 2.5 cm when its suppose to be 3-4 cm. The doc said that was a sign of pre term labor so that concerned them. Well that evening by some miracle the pain died down. I don't know if my body was just exhausted since I had been in tons of pain for 2 days straight but I was finally able to sleep and the next afternoon got to come home. I have to have a shot every week that gives me a 30% better chance of not going into pre term labor and I have to go down to the U of U hospital once a month to get an ultrasound on my cervix and for an appointment at the high risk clinic. I'm not on strict bedrest but the doc wants me down as much as possible. So for now Matias is having to do everything. He is the most amazing man ever he is taking care of me and the girls. I love him to death. We keep telling ourselves its only temporary and it may be hard and a little frustrating but its better than what can happen, we could lose the baby at any moment is what we have been told. I'm sure things will work out and we are keeping a positive attitude about everything. The doc told us to prepare to be on hospital bedrest just in case so we are going to try our hardest to do what we can so that won't happen. Well sorry for the long boring post but I figured I would keep you guys up to date with things. For now we are doing great and we are very grateful to everyone who helped out with the girls and all the phone calls and messages we have received. Everything will be great we are just working on getting our little girl here safe and sound.

A quick Thank You!!

2011-01-09T20:34:00.001-07:00

I figured it was about time that I say a huge thank you to everyone who has been there for us. This past couple weeks have been interesting with my hormones out of whack and a couple things that happened I have had a very emotional mini breakdown. Poor Matias had to get a lot of my outbursts first hand but other than that not many people knew about it. It did help me realize what was really important though and who I can count on. So this thank you goes out to my Grandma and aunts who don't even know how much they have helped with just their phone calls or comments to me on facebook and asking how things are. Also to my cousins who have done the same thing, you guys rock!! Also my awesome sisters (your too great to be called in laws) all of you guys are awesome and I don't know what I would do without you guys!! My brothers, I love you guys too. My awesome friends! ( Although Sienna you totally count as a sister!) My parents (yes that includes all 4 of you.. I have no in laws just great parents) we always know we can count on you guys, most the time its me calling and going on and on and on about nothing and for some odd reason you always listen and I love you sooooo much for that!! And last but not least my awesome husband and girls, Matias for some reason has not left me yet.. Just kidding, but seriously that man puts up with a whole lot especially the past couple weeks and I couldn't love him more for it and my beautiful daughters have put up with mommy and have given the best hugs and kisses anyone could ever ask for. Honestly just Thank you everyone who has been super supportive through everything. I just hope you guys all know how much I appreciate and love all of you. Sorry it took me so long to acknowledge everyone who is here for us. I'm so lucky to have you guys in my life!

Holidays are gone but more to look forward too.

2011-01-04T10:22:00.001-07:00

I can't believe the holidays are already done. Christmas was awesome. Christmas eve was just our little family. We made gingerbread houses and played games and watched movies. We had a blast. The girls were so excited. My favorite part was making dinner, Matias was awesome and helped out. It was great to be in the kitchen with Matias we made a great team. We had ham and potatoes and gravy and all the good stuff. While we were at the table Sayge kept saying how full she was but she kept eating, "cause it is so good mama!" I loved it. Then the girls opened up their Christmas eve pjs. They loved them. I really wish I could post pictures because they looked so cute in their pjs. Then Christmas morning came and I being a total nerd woke up at 4am. I was so excited to have the girls wake up. Matias woke up at 5am and Matias and I made breakfast casserole so while we open gifts it could cook. Then Angel woke up and so we woke Sayge and Alexye up. Right when we walked downstairs we had a knock at our window. It scared the crap out of me. It was my daddy!! Mom and dad surprised us by coming up Christmas morning. They made it right in time to open gifts. The girls had a great time opening their presents. They were way too spoiled. The funniest thing was Angelyse opened up a box with an outfit in it and when she saw it was clothes she tried to stuff it back in the box. It was funny. Christmas was great the girls played with their toys and Matias and dad played call of duty a little bit.
New Years was just us and Angelyse fell asleep and me being an old lady did too. I woke up a couple minutes before midnight I blame the pain meds. :) Matias and Sayge and Alexye stayed up and they played board games and sprayed silly string and had root beer floats. They had so much fun. Now that the holidays are over we still have a lot to look forward too. We want to go camping in Yellowstone this summer, Our brother Bryce comes home from his mission in Argentina on May 5th. Matias turns 30 on May 9th (old man..lol) and we will be completing our family this year with a beautiful baby girl.
We are hoping we can make it to May at least before she comes. I . Already showing signs of pre term labor and I am already feeling some contractions but so far its just more of a pain for me and its not doing anything to our baby girl. Thankfully my doctor has given me some pain meds for when the pain and cramping gets too bad but I try not to take them too often. We are also still trying to figure out a name for her. Matias isn't helping much but hopefully soon we can have something to call her besides baby girl. I have 2 names that I found on babycenter.com that I love, Briella or Breklyn but we will see. Anyways last year was a good year everyone stayed healthy we had our ups and our downs but everyone does. I'm looking forward to another awesome year with my family! We have a lot to look forward too in the upcoming year.

Its a........ BABY!!

2010-12-28T13:28:00.001-07:00

We are so excited to say that today was our 20 week ultrasound. We found out that we will soon be welcoming another girl into our family. Baby girl is healthy and very active. She was moving all over the place during her ultrasound. We really are ecstatic to be having another beautiful girl in our house. The girls were way excited to hear baby is a girl. They love having sisters. And yes Matias is also very excited and happy to get another papa's girl. Plus we make really cute girls so we are excited to see what she is going to look like.

Thanksgiving in Az

2010-12-01T14:10:00.001-07:00

This year for Thanksgiving we were able to go down to Arizona for a couple days. We left a day early because there was
A big snow storm and if we wanted to make it down we had to leave before the next storm started. It was a long drive it took us 2-3 hours just to make it from Kemmerer to Evanston, usually it only takes 40 min. The girls did pretty good on
The way down. We had so much fun down there. The girls loved playing with their cousins and spending time with Abuela and AAbuelo. Thanksgiving was held at Pam's house and the food was AMAZING!!! She did an awesome job on everything. I also got to meet my new niece Lacey for the first time. She is so cute and little. I loved holding her. Matias and the girls went swimming while we were down there. The girls loved it. Of course what's Thanksgiving weekend without black friday shopping!! Matias and I got to go with Pam and Melia and we had a blast. It was so crazy at walmart. I couldn't believe how dumb some people act just for a toy. We ended up getting Christmas pretty much done and we got home around 6am. Then when we woke up we did mom and dads christmas tree. It was cute watching the kids decorate it. I even let Melia cut bangs on Angelyse. Shocker I know since I normally hate bangs. She looked so cute. I'm sorry to report after I gave her a bath she kept trying to get them out of her eyes and so I thought ok I will just trim them a tiny bit more, well let's just say I totally screwed them up cause she moved and I didn't do a very good job so I basically killed the nice bangs Meli did. Sorry Meli you are WAY better at cutting bangs than I am. Hopefully they grow fast since they are uneven. :). Sadly Matias had to work on Sunday morning so we had to drive back Saturday. It was such a fun trip and we really didn't want to come home. Now the next step in our holiday fun is cutting down our tree on Friday. I'm so excited and the girls can't wait. I would put up pictures but since I am posting from my phone I have no idea how to. Well til next time I hope everyone is having a good Holiday season!

A much needed update.

2010-11-23T13:13:00.005-07:00

Yes people we are alive. It has been a long time and a lot has happened but thanks to mom and the use of her computer I can give you a little update. The girls have started school. Sayge is in 1st grade and is doing so great at reading and all that fun stuff. Alexye started Kindergarten... seriously they grow way too fast. She is doing so amazingly well and she loves school so much. Angelyse turned 2 on sept 9th! She is still obsessed with Coraline so we got her a Coraline doll. Matias is still at his same job. He is the most amazing Papa ever. He is always doing something fun with the girls and they love him so much. We are so lucky to have him in our lives!! Halloween we went down to Provo and spent it with Nana and Pops, the girls had a lot of fun trick or treating and I wish I had a picture of my mom dressed up she looked AWESOME!! We also trick or treated in Kemmerer on Halloween so the girls got an extra amount of candy...not like they needed it. It was snowing but still a lot of fun. Now for Thanksgiving we are down in Arizona. We got here yesterday.. hence why you are seeing this.. thanks again mom! Anyways back to whats new as most of you know we are expecting another baby!! We are 4 months along and are due on May 15th (also known as my bday) We were trying for a coulple months but then some things happened and we decided to wait and not try anymore but I guess the lord had different plans for us cause about 2 months later we found out we ewre expecting. We were shocked at first because we found out the same week we found out Matias needed surgery to take his tonsils out. so it took a little bit to sink in but we are way excited. Boy or girl doesnt really matter (although we all know it will be another girl) We are hoping we wont have too many complications with this pregnancy. So far so good only 1 night in the hospital so far. (for all of you who know about my other pregnancies you know this is pretty good) Sayge has nicknamed the baby Charly, No we are NOT naming the baby Charly it is just what she calls it for now til we find out what the sex is. Anyways Matias was getting pretty sick and we found out it was his tonsils. He weighed 149 when he went to the dr two weeks later before the surgery he had dropped to 123lbs. It was crazy. He was so sick. His surgery went well thank goodness his recovery was great we only had one incident where we took him to the ER for excessive bleeding. It was pretty scary but turned out to be ok. We have also had some crazy snow storms this year one is happening as we speak but we are in AZ so we get to be in the nice weather right now. We have been sledding a couple times and Matias made some pretty cool snowmen. Other than that things are still pretty normal. I will post about Thanksgiving and our Az trip when I can. Here are some photos. (sorry I am all over the place its hard to post a couple months of stuff all in one and I dont have the patience to do a couple different postings

Our Summer

2010-08-03T15:03:00.004-06:00

This summer has gone by pretty fast. We still have a month before the girls go back to school but I figured I would fill in everybody about what we have done so far. We have done so much this summer its been crazy around here. We have been to Yellowstone with the girls this summer. It was so much fun. The girls loved every moment of it. Then there was Fossil Fest over here in Kemmerer where Sayge and Alexye participated in their first pageant. They did so good and both the girls sang a song onstage. It was so cute. We justgot done with Oyster Ridge Music Festival this past weekend. We walked down and spent a lot of time listening to the bands and waling around the booths. We also went to Bear Lake twice in one week. I have never been there before but it is really close to our house maybe a 40 minute drive. It was so beautiful up there. The girls loved swimming in the lake. We also hada memorial for my grandpa B that we went down to and I got to hold Sienna's baby girl Paisley when she was only 3 dys old!! Not only have we gone and done stuff but we have also just swam in our tiny little pool in our front lawn ad taken a lot of walks to the park. I know this s the watered down version of our summer but I really don't want to type detail by detail it would take way too long. But we have had a blast so far and i'm sure that the rest of the summer will also be fun.

We are alive

2010-07-27T02:09:00.002-06:00

Hey IT has been a long time since I last blogged. Alot has happened. Sayge turned 6 and had a cowgirl birthday. Matias turned 29. I turned 25 and Alexye turned 5 and had a princess birthday. Our poor cat Cowboy some how go poisoned and passed away in the beginning of May and we ended up adding a new addition to our family a new kitten we named Jasmin. We have been doing our regular walks and having fun as a family. We have gone to yellowstone and we saw a lot of animals. The girls are growing more and more every day and I really love every moment. Matias took a major pay cut at work so he is now looking around for a different job. Other than that I really ca't think of anything major that has happened lately. I will put up pictures when I get them on the computer. but so far we are still alive.

Hospitals and studs!

2010-04-21T15:02:00.008-06:00

My daddy has finally been discovered!!! But before I get into that I would like to tell you why I am going to kick my moms butt....yes you read it right my mommy is in sooooo much trouble!

It all started when Angelyse hid my phone in the couch cushion so I didn't hear it when I recieved a picture message from my mom at 2pm. 30 minutes later I found my phone only to discover my mom sent me a picture of my daddy in the hospital and all she wrote was "dad in the hospital" For everyone who knows me I am a total daddy's girl so panick does not even describe what I was doing! But I guess there were 2 pictures but I didn't see it because I immediately tried to call my mom. Well of course mommy didn't answer so I freaked out and called Matias and told hom not to expect us home when he returns from work because I was going to drive down if I didn't hear from anyone soon. My next thought was Why the hell did my mommy dearest send me a picture of dad in the hospital instead of call me. So I then tried calling my daddy and when no answer happened I freaked out more. Then my phone rang but of course it wasn't them it was just Sayge's school she had an accident and needed me to pick her up. Finally my dad called me now we can go back to the first line I wrote...

My daddy has finally been discovered!! Anyone who knows my daddy knows he is a total stud! The hospital needed someone to do some photos for a pamplet so my dad finally agreed to "snap a couple pictures" but lo and behold when he got in the room there were pros with cameras and lighting and all that jazz. Daddy had to sit in the hospital bed for an hour and a half and do different angles and he had his "nurse" with him. Who by the way thought dad was gorgeous. But that doesn't surprise me cause like I said before my daddy is a stud. So as total star now my daddy would like to thank all the little people that helped him get to where he is today but it is now time for those little people to move aside and let the bigger stars rise. (so.. Move over Matias!) I didn't take up too much of my daddy's time on the phone because the lights and cameras and posing had caused him to be exhausted. But just know that he is doing great and recovering from the fame just fine. :) lol ( I thought I would throw that in for you daddy!)

But on a more serious note I was really relieved when I found out it was just a photo shoot and daddy was not really in the hospital. I don't know what I would do if something serious happened to my dad or mom. I love them to death and I really do look to them for a lot of things. If I would have looked at the second picture where my daddy was smiling I probably would have been less panicked but I don't think anyone would ever suspect my dad to do a photo shoot its just not him but lets face it he looks awesome in the pics I got and those were just taken with my moms phone. My dad is a total natural!

the 2nd picture that I didn't see at first

Before they actually started to take pictures my mom snapped

some on her phone!

Well that is the story of my daddy being discovered. He said now that he has made it that maybe he would give me an autograph... I am holding him to it!! Oh and don't worry I got this post approved by my daddy before I put it up just because I wouldn't want his agent to be contacting me. (mainly I mean my mom .. I love you mommy!! but lets just say.. payback sucks... wahaha....just kidding mom you know I love ya!) I love you daddy and I am sure glad you have a sense of humor so I could post all this. For everyone else.. If you don't have a sense of humor you probably won't get this post and you probably won't think it is very funny but oh well...

Walks and slushies

2010-04-20T10:31:00.003-06:00

We've been having really nice weather lately so we have been able to go out and enjoy it a lot lately. We go on at least 2 walks a day. Sometimes we walk down to the river and other times we end up going the long way to the park. Its been great to be able to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Its awesome when we get home and the girls are worn out. Angelyse loves the park she has actually gotten to the point that the kiddie slide is not good enough for her. She ends up going to the tallest slide and she won't stop going down it til we pry her off to leave. She even slipped right past me once and landed on her butt on the ground and she laughed and got up and went right back up the stairs. She is so crazy! Sayge's favorite part is the monkey bars. She always goes half way then claims she can't do it anymore but she will just hang there. That girl has got muscles! Alexye kinda does everything one minute she is on the slide the next its the swings. She has a lot of fun though. Even Scooby loves the park he is everywhere! By the time we walk back home all the girls are tired. Angelyse especially because she has decided her stroller isn't good enough so we don't even take it anymore she just walks. The girls's favorite part is when we sometimes go to Kum and go or what the girls call the slushie store and get slushies while on our walk to the park. I love our long walks and hopefully the weather will stay good (but not get too hot! I am not a fan of the heat)

Sledding in April!

2010-04-05T12:36:00.003-06:00

Today we woke up to a couple inches of snow so we decided to take advantage of it and go sledding! The sun was starting to come out so we had to hurry before it melted. The snow was perfect! Sayge went the furthest up the hill and went the fastest coming down. Surprise surprise! We had only a couple of crashes but all in all everyone had a really great time. Today was the start of Sayge's week long Spring Break and I think we started it off right! We were there for an hour or two and by the time we started coming home the clouds started coming in and it was barely starting to snow.

This would have been perfect if I would have snapped it a little sooner
and gotten Sayge's whole face.

Coloring eggs and Easter Sunday

2010-04-05T11:55:00.007-06:00

On Saturday we colored eggs when Matias got home from work. It was a lot of fun. We gave Angelyse her own little bowl of yellow coloring so she wouldn't feel left out. She ended up dumping it and smashing her egg all over but she loved it. Sayge and Alexye loved making them different colors. Say ge mostly did pink and Alexye mostly did blue. Then after that we gave them a bath and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks the second one and then it was off to bed for the girls. Matias and I stayed up and watched The Blind Side while I filled up the easter eggs. The next morning the girls woke up and the easter bunny had not been there yet. Matias worked til 3pm so I wanted to wait so he would not miss out on anything. But by the time Matias got home the girls had been fighting non stop so we told them the Easter bunny wasn't coming. Then Matias took them to the store to return the movies and I hid the eggs and put the baskets on their bed. They were so surprised. The first thing Angel did was grab and egg open it and take a bite out of the candy. Sayge and alexye went nuts getting eggs. We really did have a great Easter!!! Oh yeah by the way I would just like to Thank Bryce for realizing how totally awesome I am!! I definitley dedicate all this to you Bryce!! We miss ya!

Easter Egg Hunt

2010-04-01T13:18:00.005-06:00

We had a family Easter Egg hunt on Sunday the 28th of March. It was a lot of fun. The girls were really excited. Chad and his family came early so we all just hung out. We played the Wii a little bit and just sat around. The girls helped mom out and cooked some stuff. After grams got out of church her and Suzanne came over. Suzanne had gotten the girls bunny ears and a little bag with bubbles. (Thanks so much Suzanne my girls loved them!!) Then we hid the eggs and the kids were let loose in my parents backyard to find them. Sayge and Alexye took off like crazy finding them. Angelyse mostly went for the smarties we had thrown on the grass. But she had fun. after we sat in the backyard patio and just let the kids play around with all the awesome toys they got in the bags mom made for them. We ate and socialized. Suzanne took Angelyse for a couple walks cause she kept escaping from the backyard. Mom and Suzanne ended up taking the girls to the park while Chad, alisa, Grams, daddy, Matias, and I sat and talked..ok more like joked around. It was so much fun. Then we came inside and played Suzannes Wii Fit game. That is the funnest game. I rocked at the hula hoop!! We had to drive back home that night cause Sayge had school but we still stayed til around 9pm. we just didn't want to leave cause we were having so much fun!! I have a lot more pics but I just posted a few.

Moms surprise party!

2010-04-01T12:49:00.005-06:00

Yes people WE PULLED IT OFF!!! My dad called me in November telling me he needed my help to plan a surprise party for my moms 50th birthday. We have never done anything like this for my mom..mostly because we valued our lives. Just kidding but seriously we can never hide anything from mom that women finds out EVERYTHING!!! But we finally got her. The last week was the worst. We were suppose to go down for an easter egg hunt on sunday and mom wanted to come and get the girls early so Dad and I were coming up with stories left and right. I swear dad and I were going to have a heart attack at least twice a day. Thankfully Grams and Aunt Suzanne came to the rescue and made the cake. That was one less thing to do. THANKS GRAMS AND SUZANNE!! So Saturday March 27th came around and Matias worked til 3pm so right when he got off work we booked it down there. Dad was calling almost every hour when mom would leave the room to relay the plans to me. He was having a really hard time keeping mom out of the house. (way to be stubborn mom!) Thankfully we got down there at 5:30pm and Grams and Aunt Suzanne and Aunt Shelly came over and helped out with decorating. THANKS GUYS!!! Seriously I really appreciate all your help! Finally dad called to tell us he didn't think he could keep mom out. Not everyone was there yet so I was a little stressed out. Dad said he would call when they were 5 minutes out. Thankfully Chad and Alisa got there right before dad gave us the 5 minute call. It was hilarious cause dad and I were making up the conversation as we went since mom was right beside him. (by the way dad you still owe mom a penny for losing the bet.. we got there before 9am on sunday. ) Anyways thankfully all the kids were quiet so mom had no idea. Lets just say when she walked in she was definitley surprised. she loved it though. We had a lot of fun. I was surprised mom wasn't suspicious cause dad and I were on the phone everyday and anyone who knows my dad knows that phones are not his fave. We all had a blast and laughed and ate cake. (the cake looked AWESOME!!) After everyone left Grams and Aunt Suzanne stayed behind and we played games on the wii. I really want to thank everyone who came again. It was awesome and we could not have pulled it off without everyone who came. I especially want to thank my daddy for including me in on his plans. I also want to thank my daddy and Matias because they had to put up with my melt downs and stress. They were the ones I called everyday when I stressed out. The party ROCKED!! I know my mom loved it and I am so glad that we finally got to do something special for her. If anyone deserves something special its my mom. I love ya mommy!!

Pops and Nana's outfits...

2010-04-01T12:32:00.004-06:00

My parents got the girls the cutest outfits with boots and jackets for christmas so before Matias got off of work on Saturday for Moms party I got the girls all ready in their outfits and I decided to take some pictures. Sayge and Alexye are in the pictures the most because after a little bit Angelyse was done so there are no individual pictures of her but oh well they are so cute anyways. So here are just some that I snapped with my camera.

Arizona Trip

2010-03-17T09:05:00.006-06:00

Last weekend we went for a very quick trip to Arizona for Jason's wedding. the night we got there we helped prepare some food with Meli and Paul. We were up til 12am. we made it fun. Then the next day on friday was the wedding. We went to the Mesa temple and while we waited we walked around the visitor center with all the kids. We had a lot of fun. Then it was pictures time and while they finished up the pictures we rushed back to the house to finish up food for the luncheon. Thankfully Meli and Dan were right behind us. Then Paul, Mati and I decorated the hotel room for Jason and amanda. It turned out good. Then it was the ring ceremony and the reception. The girls loved dancing at the reception it was so much fun. We were there for a very long time and we helped clean up and all that fun stuff. We had a really nice trip. We got to go to the park with the girls and hang out with our friends we have not seen in wow...almost 6 years. All of our kids got along and had a great time. Matias and I got to go on a little date night. We walked around the Princess resort. It was fun. Then on Sunday we just hung out with the family. We had a awesome time. It was a long drive but it was worth it. Its good to be home though. Sorry this was kinda short version of the trip but Angelyse is crabby today and keeps trying to climb in my lap. Hopefully the pictures will show how much fun we had.

Just some random pictures from when we were down there.

the night before the wedding while preparing the food. I have a lot more

pictures.

Just some pictures of the love of my life and I.

Some pictures of the reception. I have so many pictures but

I really can't spend the time to try to post all of them so I just picked

random ones.

Sayge

2010-03-10T14:51:00.005-07:00

Sayge is our tom boy of our family. If it is dirty or it has anything to do with bugs she loves it. She used to have ants as friends when she was younger. She loves any animal and wants to save them all if they are hurt. Her favorite animal though has always been horses. She is like me in a lot of ways when it comes to animals. I am sure when she is older Animals will start "following" her home just like they did when I was little! She also loves sports. She especially loves to dance and sing. Her teacher told us that sayge loves to sing songs to the class. So she is already performing. She makes up dances as she goes. She is also our fearless child. She will do anything anywhere. When we go sledding she wants to go to the top of the hill. Matias won't even go to the very top since it is really steep and high. Her favorite movies are still any movie that is scary. She keeps asking when we go to disneyland if she can go on all the scary rides. She especially talks about the rollercoasters she sees on tv. For all of you who know us knows that I hate roller coasters so good thing Mati can take her. It is so hard to keep up with her sometimes she is so crazy. She is doing great in kindergarten. She is reading well and her speech has gotten a lot better. Hopefully her top teeth will come in soon and that will improve her speech dramatically! Sayge is also ver lovable. She will give hug after hug to anyone she thinks needs it. Her energy level never goes down she reminds me of the energizer bunny. She just keeps going. She is very good at watching out for her sisters. I swear if anyone messes with them they will have Sayge to deal with. She can beat up any boy that crosses her path. Of course she won't do anything til she is pushed to her limit. She will soon be turning six and she is so excited about it. She always talks about her birthday. This year she wants a horse. She tells me she doesn't want a pony she wants a big horse that she can ride when she is older too. The funniest thing is she looked right at me and said, "it has to be real mom" It was funny. Its weird to think we have a 5 year old. We can't be that old. lol

Alexye

2010-03-10T14:36:00.003-07:00

Where to begin with Alexye.. For anyone who knows her they know that she is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. She is also our girly girl. She loves wearing dresses! We actually still have to fight with her to not wear skirts when it is snowing outside. She loves anything that is either blue or purple. She loves to play princess and anything else that is really girly. But she is not too girly to get dirty. She still loves to play in dirt and all the fun stuff so she isn't so girly that she is prissy. She really hates scary things. She is also a little fireball. You don't want to get Lex mad or else you will hear about it. If you get on her bad side you normally stay there for awhile til she feels like talking to you again. But then normally if she ends up saying something mean she apologizes after a little bit and gives us hugs. Her fave phrase to say when she is mad is, "You mean, I don't like you anymore." She is a doll though. Even when she gets mad she is still so adorable. Her big blue eyes get her out of trouble a lot. She tends to get bossy with Angel but then again doesn't every big sister? When I am about to go out with friends she will hug me and just tell me how much she is going to miss me and that she wants me to stay home. I don't go out much so when I do she always asks if I am coming back. She is such a papas girl. Right when he walks in she runs to him and normally she will follow him around like a puppy asking him question after question. Its hard for me to believe that Alexye is going to be 5! Right now all Lex talks about is going to Abuelas house this weekend and how much fun it is going to be to play with Alana. She asks to call Nana all the time and tells Nana that she want her to come up. Its really cute.

She loves to stand on Matias

I love my little bubbles!

Angelyse

2010-03-10T14:14:00.004-07:00

Angel's personality has definitely been coming on full force. You know she has done something wrong when she comes to us with her arms folded and a little smile. Lately she has been having a couple habits forming. She loves to crawl on top of the tv stand and shut off the tv or block it so no one can watch it. The only show she does not do this to is her favorite movie and that is currently Coraline. She absolutely loves that movie! A couple days ago I decided to try putting a pony tail in her hair. I was surprised that it actually worked. I put a lot of butterfly clips in her hair to try to keep it in but of course after it dried it started coming out. (it didn't help that she kept playing with it.) The best thing is to watch her play with Sayge and Alexye. She follows Alexye around everywhere! But she also lets Lexye know when she has had enough of her. Today when I was putting stuff in our car Angel followed me but instead of coming down the stairs she ran to the other end of the porch that was closest to the cars. Of course Scooby ran after her and bumped her and she ended up going over the edge where of course there was no grass only bricks and cement. She cried for maybe 2 min then she got over it and was running around like crazy. I knew she was ok when she was asking for gummy bears. Its amazing how she is always happy. Even when she was really sick and throwing up and had double ear infection she was still happy. I love it. Her favorite game is to steal anything Alexye has in her hands and take off and run with it. Alexye and Angel are so close and I think its because Sayge is at school all day so they entertain themselves together. I can't believe she is not my baby anymore. She grew up way too fast.

Angels new favorite place to be

Matias put her up there to see if that would stop her from wanting to climb it

Yeah it didn't work.

Surviving

2010-02-24T16:43:00.004-07:00

The past two weeks have been very interesting.. It all started with Angelyse waking up screaming at night. Well of course the next morning we took her to the drs to find out she has a double ear infection.....poor girl. Well we got her on antibiotics and she finally started sleeping when the night she slept all through the night Sayge woke up at 1am complaining about a headache. We gave her stuff and put her back to bed. She came home from scholl the next day still complaining and then that night she got a fever and threw up everywhere. So after 48 hours of her illness not going away we took her and Alexye to the dr. (we took Lexye in cause she has had a cough for a long time and we figure it was asthma) Anyways Alexye got put on a nebulizer and some medicine to help her and Sayge got on antibiotics to help her get all better. Well guess what that same night Alexye suddenly spiked a fever and started throwing up. This is all over about a weeks worth of time of Mati and I not sleeping at night and all that. Well, Matias went into the dr for a sore throat and he had the dr call me and we got Alexye on antibiotics. We figured since Angel was already on antibiotics even though her 10 days were up she would be ok. Of course we were totally wrong and a couple days after Alexye got sick Angelyse spiked a fever and started to throw up. Its funny though because the only way you would be able to tell she is sick is from seeing her pale skin and red cheeks and glossy eyes other than that she is the happiest kid ever and still running around like mad. So last night was my first night she slept all the way through. YAY!! Ok but the crappiest part of all this was last sunday Matias left for the academy...lucky him! So we have been without him for a couple days now. It always sucks and usually I handle it great but this time I was dreading him going at all knowing the girls were al sick and not to mention a good nights sleep or even 3 hours of sleep has been lacking for me for the past 2 weeks. Even our dog seems to have gone nuts since Mati has been gone. but thankfully things are calming down. Angel and Lexye are still a little sick but I think it is finally passing (til Sayge picks up some other sickness from school) Then to top it all off my car decided not to start so I could not go anywhere but when I managed to start it it was snowing and our car sucks in snowso I was left here again. Good thing we didn't have an emergency or else we would have been screwed. Its snowing now and isn't suppose to stop all weekend lets hope nothing happens. (we need 4 wheel drive!!) Matias is coming home this weekend so we are really excited about that. The girls (especially Lex) are having such a hard time without him. Sayge came in the door from school the other day and when Angel heard the door opening she said Papa and ran to the door. Alexye asking me why she is never going to see Papa again. So I have to explain to her he is coming back. Sayge.. well Sayge was older with the last 2 academies so she is handling it good. I for one have already told Matias that if anything ever happened to him than I am going to have a marriage of convienience soon after. Of course he just laughed because he knows I am full of it. So far Matias says the academy is good. He says the classes are boring but you gotta do what you gotta do. He is learning what he needs and is studying for the tests. He calls in the morning before Sayge goes to school so he can talk to her and he calls during lunch then after his classes then before he goes to bed. I love it! It really has not been that bad here we have survived through the sick crap and while we would love to have him here all the time (especially so I can sleep and shower haha) we know that this is not going to be the last time he has to be away especially with his job. Anyways here are some pictures to show that indeed the girls are still alive and we are doing good... (ok don't mind Sayge's hair i guess in gym class they did some jump rope and her hair got messed up...She is 5 people she can't be perfect all the time..just kidding!)

You can tell Angel is still a little sick

So kudos to us surviving and lets hope the sickness is gone for at least a couple weeks.

Valentines

2010-02-16T17:31:00.002-07:00

Valentines day was the best ever this year. The weekend of we had Mom and dad come up and we had ablast playing the Wii. I mean dad really got into it. It was a lot of fun. A couple days leading up to Valentines day Matias kept telling the girls that they were going with papa to go shopping for me on sunday. For all of you who know Matias his tradition is to get my Christmas gifts on Christmas eve and any other holiday gifts such as my birthday, Valentines day, Mothers day..etc well he usually shops and gets those on the same day as whatever it is. Well this year he broke tradition! On friday UPS delivered roses to me. (we call them my box flowers.) It even came with a note. I almost died of shock since this was totally out of character for Matias. So I assumed my valentines was done and I was totally ok with that since I love my roses. Well Valentines day comes and I get woken up by this tango music and sitting on the floor was a littls dancing tango man and a box of chocolates and a Wii game and some candy. If that wasn't enough he even got me a card. For all of you who know me you know I am a sucker for notes especially if I don't get them often. So I got 2 cards in less than 2 days! The sad thing about all this is what I ordered for Matias didn't come in on time. But I wrote him a letter and I told him his stuff was coming. Of course Matias keeps rubbing it in that all he has gotten so far is a letter. The girls got little animals and candy. They were so excited. We just had a nice family day and played games. It was especially nice since it was our last Sunday before Matias leaves for the academy...again. Hopefully this will be his last time. It will only be for 2 weeks but to me it honestly feels like forever! So we had a really great holiday and weekend.

My roses Matias got me!

So far 2010

2010-02-03T12:09:00.004-07:00

So far this year has gone by pretty good. We have had no huge injuries so far. Matias's work is going really good. My best friend found out she is having a baby girl!!! (I am so excited for them!) Our girls are doing awesome. So there are no complaints here. I thought I would post some pictures of Christmas and stuff since we finally got our computer fixed and I can hook our camera up to it. So here are just some random pictures.

I took this while Sayge and I were keeping an eye out for her bus!

We went to Fossill Butte after Christmas to show our family around

Dad and mom helped the girls make a gingerbread house.
I think theirs turned out better than anyones.

Small things that I love that makes me happy

2010-01-05T20:06:00.004-07:00

This year started off really crazy with Matias in the standoff and Alexye splitting her lip open. even Scooby seems crazier lately but we have also had some really fun small moments that I think have made this week the best.

Matias loves watching the college football bowl games so lately thats what we have been doing at nights. The girls even get into and cheer for whatever team Matias and I are rooting for. Of course all you that know me knows that whatever team Mati is cheering for I cheer for the opposite. So far all the teams that I want to win has won. It really irritates Matias but thats half the fun. I am not big into watching football but we always make it fun so thats one of the small things that make me happy is football with the family.

Another small moment that made me happy was today when I came down the stairs after sleeping in since I did not feel good and I walked into the kitchen to find it clean and the dishes done thanks to my awesome husband! I don't think he will ever really know how much I appreciated that!! To me him cleaning the kitchen and doing the dishes for me is better than any jewelry or any other material thing in the world.

I think the best moment that makes me the happiest of all is when Matias and the girls are running around like crazy chasing each other and laughing. Matias was down on his knees chasing the girls around and when he caught them he would tickle them. It was so funny to watch all of them running around like crazy. Finally Sayge and Alexye got smart and instead of running from him they would jump on his back and try to take him down.

I even love just sitting on the couch after the girls go to bed and watching Matias try to beat a racing game on the playstation 3. He gets so intense its funny. I could watch my hot husband all day if I had too. ;)

I feel like the year 2009 came and went by so fast. My girls are getting bigger and growing up way too fast. Angleyse no longer acts like my small little cuddly baby and Sayge and Alexye amaze me by acting more like teens than my little girls. In one way it really is sad to see them grow up but in a whole other way its amazing to watch them change.

My sweet little girl Alexye!

Angelyse kept getting into everything so as a joke Mati
held her on top of the fridge.
She loved it

After tearing our movies off the shelf Angel and Scooby
fell asleep

Ok so my favorite moments and all the small things that make me happy as you can tell have 1 common factor. .......

.....My family!

Christmas and New years..

2010-01-01T22:46:00.002-07:00

This year for Christmas we had our mom, dad, Jason and Jason's fiance Amanda up from AZ. The girls really loved Christmas this year. We had so much fun. We played catch phrase a lot. (its the best game in the world) The girls were so excited when Santa came! They got a lot of gifts and they loved all of them. We also went sledding on Christmas. It was awesome. I got lots of pictures but our computer won't let us hook it up. Hopefully soon I can get some pics up. We had so much fun with Mom and dad. We got to have a whole week with them!! We hope we get to steal them for another week really soon!!!! They were here all the way til today. So Matias took Dad and Jason and Amanda to Jackson one day so he could show them the town. We always love to go to Jackson so Matias thought they would really enjoy it. I'm jealous they got to go to Bubbas. (a really good place to eat) But Mom and I went to Evanston and we got to have a mother/ daughters day. We had so much fun roaming around with the girls. After get back from Evanston we went to Arctic Circle. It was a lot of fun. Then we played games that night. Dad talked a lot about how much he enjoyed going to Jackson. Last night for new years Dad took Sayge and Alexye out to some activities they had around Kemmerer and Diamondville. They got to go see ELF in the theater for free. It was Alexye's first time in a theater and she LOVED it. THANKS DAD FOR TAKING THEM!!! They loved their time with Abuelo. Mom and I sat at the house waiting on Matias. Sadly yesterday a Deputy in the city of Opal got shot so Matias got called out and was one of the first ones to arrive. Thankfully the bullet only went in his arm and came out his finger. They life flighted him to Salt lake and he had surgery today. Matias says when he got there the deputy was doing well. After the idiot shot the deputy he barricaded himself in his house with his girlfriend. The standoff lasted about 10 hours. Thankfully no one else got hurt. It could have been a lot worse since the guy had bombs in his house and he had already shot one cop. So of course me being..well....me I was kinda a little worried ...ok maybe little is not the word.. I was freaking out inside. I knew I loved that man but I seriously found how strong our love really was last night when I was not sure what was going to happen. So Mom dad and I stayed up waiting to make sure he was good. He made it home about 10 minutes before midnight so I got to ring in the new year with the love of my life!! Then I swear I have no idea what was in our apple cider but Mom and I were laughing so hard over a top secret movie we are going to make. Ok its not really top secret but all I will reveal is it has to do with some vicious chihuahuas that transport illegal burritos across the border only to be stopped by the undercover poodle squad. It was hilarious!! I have seriously not laughed that hard in the longest time. I LOVE YOU MOM!!! I think dad and Matias thought we had gone psychotic. It was awesome! Oh duh ok I forgot to mention that Jason and I sat outside and fed the deer. They were less than 10 feet away. It was awesome. They ate all our grapes and apples so we tried different foods. Oh by the way Jason and I found out that deer do not like pickles. It was really nice to spend time with Jason and joke around with him while feeding the deer. Anyways, today Alexye got to visit the hospital. She cut her lip up pretty bad when she tripped while playing in the living room and we really thought she would need stitches. The doctor said that it was on the border of needing stitches. He said he could do 2 stitches but it would probably scar worse than having it heal naturally. She is doing good though and she is a little banged up but she is my tough little girl! I really do love my family so much and I am glad that everyone made it safe and sound to the year 2010. I hope every one else had a great time during their holidays. Cherish every moment because you really never know what can happen. Thanks mom and dad for an awesome Christmas and New years!! We love you and we really appreciate all you guys do!! (We really appreciate everything Mom and dad (on the Carson side) do for us too. I love you daddy and mommy!!!! :) !!!!)

Christmas and baking.

2009-12-22T12:57:00.003-07:00

This year we are hosting Christmas so I have been doing a lot of baking. My kitchen aide is definiteley going in shock from how much I am using it lately. I tried making my first batch of fudge and Surprise!! It actually worked so now we have great fudge. (thanks to the 10 phone calls to my mom) I also made Muddy Buddies. Those are my fave holiday treat! We also made the cool grahm cracker houses and we made cookies and chex mix. I am really excited for Christmas. Tomorrow our family from AZ is driving up so they will be here tomorrow night!! Yay! Matias even got Christmas off. So this year should be really great! I hope everyone has a great Christmas this year and everyone be safe in whatever you may be doing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Sleds. Gingerbread houses. Deer.

2009-12-20T21:02:00.005-07:00

This weekend was a very busy, fun, and crazy weekend. First dad and mom came up so we could see them before Christmas. We had so much fun. Friday we went sledding and we had a blast. we had races and dad won every one. We even established the "Pond Club" The members of this club are.. Dad, Sayge, Me and Matias barely made it in right before we left. Your probably wondering what the "Pond Club" is..... Well It is all the people that made it all the way down the hill and over the mound of snow and made it on the ice from the little man made skating rink. Dad made it the farthest. We were laughing so fetching hard. We had a lot of fun. Then on saturday we went to Evanston and got the rest of our shopping done. Then on the way home from Evanston we ended up hitting a deer. It was so not fun. It was already on the side of the road when right at the last second it decided to turn around and run right in front of us. Good thing Matias was driving. He managed to slow down to 30mph instead of the 70mph we were doing. Since our car is low we took out the legs so She slid up our hood onto our windshield. She took out the mirror on the passenger side and dented the door a little bit but we are really lucky that it wasn't worse than it was. No one was hurt. The deer ran off so I am sure she is sore but not injured bad. I don't know what I would have done if my family got hurt or the deer died or suffered. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE animal lover so of course my family comes first and their safety but after i figure out that they were safe I started worrying about the deer. But it turned out good. Sayge and Alexye were so mad at Matias. They kept saying, "papa you are not suppose to hit the deer that is mean" Once Sayge figured out the deer was ok and running she calmed down too. (She takes after me when it comes to animals.) But yeah so now I can't say I have never been in an accident. I think 1 accident in 24 years is a pretty good record. Anyways, Today we had a blast too. We made Grahm cracker houses with the girls. Matias and Sayge did one and Alexye and I did another. Both of them turned out good. Unfortunately Sayge and Matias's collapsed but we still had so much fun. Angelyse sat in her high chair and ate so much candy. I think every one was on a sugar rush before we were through. Then we watched Christmas Vacation as a family. (My ultimate favorite Christmas movie. Its such a classic!!!) We had a lot of fun. We can't believe that Christmas is so close. Sayge only has 3 more days of school and the same day she gets out of school our family in Arizona are coming up to spend Christmas with us!! We are so excited! Christmas is going to be a lot of fun! I wish I had pictures of sledding but they are on my camera but I have the gingerbread houses that we made.

Sayge next to her house. It was awesome before
it collapsed. Matias and sayge did a really good job.
Matias thinks Alexye and I "sabatoged" their house.
but we just reinforced ours better. :)

Alexye next to her house. She loved putting candy all over
it. She wanted a tower type thing in the middle instead of a big roof
and I think she made the best choice since ours is still standing.

Our girls with their houses. No matter what they turned out to look like we still made great memories and had a load of fun.

Santa and new traditions

2009-12-14T15:34:00.003-07:00

This year we made a brand new tradition in our family. Of course writing a letter to Santa is definitely not new but this year Santa wrote back! The girls wrote their letters and we sent them off to Santa (a.k.a Nana and Pops) Mom and I decided that we would send the letters to her house and mom would write them a letter back from Santa. It works out great since that means I can save all their letters they write to Santa over the years. Mom did a really great job with the letters. The girls are so excited and they have not put them down since they got them.

THANKS MOM YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

Another day of sledding...

2009-12-14T09:58:00.004-07:00

As if the weekend couldn't get any more perfect yesterday we went sledding again. It was such a perfect day for sledding it was snowing the big flakes and the sky was gray. It was just awesome. This time we decided to take Scooby with us since before we left he was running around the house like crazy. we really thought it would get his energy out. Yeah we were so wrong. Or actually I was wrong. Matias told me he would hate it and be way too cold but I thought he would love it and chase after the sleds. But oh well. The girls loved it! Sayge made it all the way to the skating rink and she was so proud at how fast she went. Even Lexye made it really far and went fast. We came home after a little bit and gave the girls a warm bath and watched a Christmas movie with popcorn. I wish this weekend could have lasted a lot longer.

Scooby and Angel sat on the sled most the time.

Sayge, Matias, and Alexye going up the hill

Our two little babies on the sled. Angel loved it!

We really can't wait til next weekend when my parents come up and we get to go sledding again!

Sledding!

2009-12-12T20:27:00.004-07:00

Today we decided we were going to have a family day. We went to the park here in Kemmerer where there is a nice big hill. The girls had a blast. Ok well we all had a blast sledding. Sayge kept wanting to go up higher on the hill. Even Angel loved it. She just laid on the sled and made us pull her every where. We took her half way up the hill and let the sled go and she laughed the whole way down. Alexye was braver than we thought she would be. She loved it too. She only biffed it once but she got right back up and went down again. Matias and Sayge went down together and ended up spilling over. I got some really awesome pictures but they are on my camera and I can't hook the camera up to the computer but here are some I took with my phone.

This is Matias and Sayge when they spilled over. You can barely tell
Sayge is there.

Here is Lexye right after going down the hill for the first time.

Alexye going down the hill. Its awesome how fast
we can actually go.

After sledding Angel was so worn out she just sat by papa.

When we got back from sledding we made cookies. I kinda just experimented

We ended up with sugar cookies with dulce de leche in the middle. They actually turned out pretty good. I think it is because the dulce de leche was from Argentina. The girls had a lot of fun cutting out the little circles. Especially since Matias was helping and he taught them how to "teach the dough who is boss" I love watching Mati with the girls he is seriously the best papa to them ever. He is amazing. He always makes things so much fun. After doing cookies we took some to our awesome neighbors and then we watched a Christmas movie. It really is days like this that I love and never want to end.

There goes another one..

2009-12-09T15:40:00.005-07:00

Yes Another tooth bites the dust! Sayge came home from
school today really excited because she can stick her tongue
through her mouth with out opening it.

My Alexye has been the sassiest girl ever. I feel like she has grown up
over night. She is so sweet and would help any one out. I have been
loving all the help that she has given me with her sister and our puppy.

Angelyse was being really quiet one day and of course I figured
she was getting into something but when I got up I found her sitting
on the stairs with Cowboy. She chased him around all day. They were going up and down
the stairs and poor Cowboy actually put up with her when she brought her to
me up side down.

Sayge said she felt bad for Cowboy since puppy was getting a lot of
attention so she made Cowboy sleep with her. You could tell Cowboy
loved the attention.

Angel decided to move from torturing Cowboy to torturing
Scooby. We got lucky and we have 2 great animals that put up with the girls
and they don't freak out when the girls chase them.

Lucky

2009-12-06T18:45:00.002-07:00

Yesterday has to be one of the craziest days I have had in a long time. I woke up to the girls just screaming at each other and fighting over..get ready for this..clothes. I really thought they would not start fighting over clothes til they were at least teens but yeah they started early. Then Scooby being the cute little untrained puppy he is decided to show of his non- potty trained skills all over the house and last but not least Angelyse's back teeth are coming in so she is really not a happy baby. But that was definitely not the worst of it. I got a call telling me that our mom and Our Brother Jason and our soon to be sister Amanda and some of Amanda's family have been in a accident. Some idiot hit them and their car rolled twice and then they got hit again. Talk about being scared out of our wits! Thankfully my Sister Meli kept me updated and called every time she heard something. (We really appreciate ALL the help we got from Meli and Dan yesterday, We are really lucky to have them! Thanks guys!!) It seemed like forever went by in between information. Thankfully everyone was ok and released from the hospital the same day with scrapes and bruises. Mom was the worst one but thankfully she is doing ok. we feel so lucky that we still have our family with us today because we all know it could have been a lot worse than it was. It really makes you think how important family really is and that you really do need to cherish every moment you have with them because you never know what tomorrow may bring. I really think of myself as lucky because I have the best families ever! So even though I was having one of those days that seem like everything was going crazy around me at the end of the day I consider myself lucky to have my screaming girls and crazy dog and my husband who came home and helped calm things down. For that he is my ultimate hero! I hope our families know how much we love them and appreciate them!

Scooby

2009-12-02T15:05:00.005-07:00

Okay so a couple months ago I brought home a kitty and now today Matias brought home a little Beagle! Some guy just bought him for 850 dollars a month ago and he found out he had to move and he couldn't sell him in time so he dropped him off at the police station and so Matias brought him home. He is 3 months old and his ears are so big and floppy. I have always loved Beagles so I was really excited when we saw him. Matias and the girls named him Scooby. He just looks like a Scooter to me but oh well I have been out voted. :). So yeah its kinda ironic that I bring home a kitty with out Matias knowing and then a couple months later Matias brings home a puppy. We are really excited for the addition to our family. The girls love him already and he is really good around the girls. Sayge has been at school today so she actually does not know about him yet but I know she will freak out and be really excited when she sees him. So tonight we are decorating our Christmas tree watching a christmas movie as a family so it was the perfect day for Scooby to join our family. Right in time for Christmas!

Its the little moments..

2009-12-01T12:12:00.003-07:00

I had the greatest moment yesterday! The past couple days I have been calling my house "the house of hell" Everything seems to be going wrong. Not to mention I have been sick. The girls seem to fight more and they seem to have developed attitudes lately so lets just say I have almost been to my breaking point. Well yesterday I was grocery shopping with the girls and they kept telling me that I looked tired. So I told them that mommy was very tired and that mommy was kinda sick. So after mentioning how tired I was about 5 to 6 times I was starting to get agitated with the girls and told them to stop telling me how tired I looked. Well, I was unloading the groceries and when I came in with the last bag thinking of everything I needed to put away I walk into our kitchen and Sayge and Alexye had already put away most of the groceries for me.(and they were in the right places!) I was astonished! When I said thank you and gave them hugs they just said "We wanted to help you mommy since you were so tired" Ok talk about the cutest thing I have ever heard! I almost started crying right there. I couldn't thank them enough yesterday! I don't think they really realize how much it meant to me to have just that little bit of help when I have been struggling these past couple days. I think all the screaming fits and temper tantrums I have been through the past couple days have been totally worth the feelings I got when I walked into the kitchen with my 5 year old and 4 year old putting groceries away with a big smile on their faces. The past couple of days have been pretty rough but yesterday I was reminded that it is the little moments in life that help me to make it through.

Thanksgiving fun..

2009-11-27T12:47:00.002-07:00

This year for Thanksgiving we went down to Orem. It was a really quick trip but it was definitely worth it! we got to Orem on Tuesday and I got to go hang out with my best friend Sienna. I mean seriously we do not get to hang out a lot but when we do we always have a blast. We went and saw New Moon! It was really a great movie. Some of the comments some people made during the movie made me laugh so hard! When the movie started a guy yelled out, "NEW MOON!! WOOOO!" It was so freaking hilarious. I can't wait for it to come out on blu-ray so we can get it. Sienna and I took pictures by the poster..ok well I forced her to tak a picture by the poster but deep down she knows she loved it!! ( I love ya Si!!!) Sienna is the best for putting up with me for all the years we have been friends...and it has been A LOT of years!! Thanks Si for the fun night you are the best!!

On Wednesday we got to spend the day as a family! We played catch phrase (The girls totally dominated the game! We rock Mom!!) We laughed so hard during the whole game. Especially when my daddy was trying to give out the hints. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my whole life! We just ordered pizza that night and hung out. It was a blast. Then on Thanksgiving we woke up and I got to go to Kmart with my mom to their sale. It was not that crowded but it was a lot of fun. I really love it when I get to hang out with my mommy. So we spent 2 hours there just walking around and getting some stuff. Chad and Alisa and their little girls came down and we all started to play some games and get dinner ready. The girls got to all play together and they had a blast! Ok so I wish I could put pictures up right now because you would not believe how awesome the turkey looked that mom cooked! We all know that Mom is the best cook in the world and she proved it again with the dinner! The turkey looked like it came right out of the magazine it was perfect!! Mom actually made 2 turkeys and they were cooked 2 completely different ways and they both tasted superb. GOOD JOB MOM and DAD!! After we cleaned up after dinner we played Monopoly. The last people standing were Dad, Alisa, and I. (Matias got out early to become the babysitter for all the girls.) It was really a lot of fun. We had some fights over property but we ended up laughing really hard over the whole game. Sadly we had to leave Thanksgiving night but it was so awesome! I had the best Thanksgiving in a long time. Thank you Mom and Dad for letting us invade your house and make it the noisiest house in Orem and for all the fun we had and thanks again for the great meal!! You guys are the greatest and I really appreciate everything!! and Thank you to Matias who watched all the girls while we were cooking and getting stuff ready and after he died in Monopoly. (Watching 5 girls isn't easy! I really think he is brave for taking it head on and coming out alive.) Thanks to my brother Chad and Alisa and Laiyne and Layci and even the baby to come Cade for spending Thanksgiving with us! I really think this Thanksgiving really is one of the best we have had!

I'm Thankful for.....

2009-11-15T16:22:00.006-07:00

I know that with Thanksgiving approaching that people are really starting to think about what they are thankful for and I am betting most of us have the same exact answer..Our Families. I really have been thinking about it lately and I decided that I am really thankful for this guy...

...my dear sweet idiotic husband. I know it is not really nice to call my husband idiotic but if you knew what he put up with since he married me 6 years ago you would call him the same thing. (Just kidding..but its true) I am very thankful that my husband puts up with all my crap that I put him through. He is my everything and I know that he really will love me no matter what happens in our lives and I know that I can really count on him to be there when I need him the most. I know he really loves me since after I give him crap he always comes back to me..ok so that is not true..he has never left to come back to begin with. So That to me is True love.

I am also Thankful for my cute little girls.....

They amaze me everyday and each of them are so different but yet so alike. Alexye is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. She is always trying to help me out and her smile can brighten up a room. Sayge is our little tomboy. Her songs are always heard throughout the whole house and her dances are always enough to make you smile. Angelyse is always happy no matter what you do. She goes runs around the room like crazy and she is laughing the whole time. Whenever she is getting into something she lives up to her nickname and she will look like an innocent angel. Its hard to get mad at her.

We are also thankful for all the love and support from our families and friends and we really appreciate everyone for accepting us and loving us even with all our faults and for never making us feel like we need to change who we are to be accepted. I know we are not perfect and we make mistakes but I think that our lives would be pretty boring with out all the bumps.

I really hope everyone has an awesome and safe Thanksgiving whatever your plans may be!

Girls + the deer = one crazy week!

2009-11-13T20:54:00.005-07:00

Ok so Sayge had a big surprise when she got home from school... She lost yet another tooth. She ran in the door all excited. It came as a total surprise. the night before when we brushed her teeth I didn't notice anything. This week has been interesting with Sayge. Almost every day I have been called by the school to let me know Sayge was injured. One day a kid ran into her and it knocked her down pretty hard. Another day the teacher called to let me know that one student pushed another student into Sayge and they hit their heads pretty hard. But she was ok and the nurse gave her an ice pack. She had a pretty good little bump on her head but she was good. Another day she fell on the playground and landed kinda hard. So her losing a tooth shouldn't have been that surprising after all she has been through but I really had no idea. She is the most excited little girl though. She can't wait for the tooth fairy to come. She even wanted to watch The Santa Clause 2 or 3 since the tooth fairy was in it. She is so crazy and emotional. This week we had a group of 5 deer hanging around a lot and I guess they decided to eat our pumpkin that was sitting on our porch since we never carved it. Well Sayge got so emotional over it and she wanted me to find the deer for "killing" her pumpkin and make it apologize. I tried not to laugh and I explained to her that deer need to eat to and that the pumpkin didn't feel anything. While trying not to burst into laughter in the back of my mind all I could think of was good luck finding out what deer did this. (I know I am such a nice mom) Matias being the nice papa he is he reported the crime to the local authority (a.k.a his cop friend) but sadly there is nothing he could do. I think his exact words were, "that sucks." we did get great advice from my buddy Todd he says to just shot it cause it is only right. But there are two problems with that...1- We wouldn't know what one to shoot and 2- Sayge said that would be mean and hurt the deers feelings if we shot it. ( I didn't want to go into the whole explanation to Sayge that it wouldn't have feelings once we shot it..I will save that conversation for when she is a lot older. JUST KIDDING!!!) Then of course Alexye gets into the action of demanding the deer apologize . I seriously think I have 2 teenage girls trapped in a 4 and 5 year old body. I really do love my girls and even though they don't try to they always make me laugh in one way or another. Even Angel is getting into the action and she tries to copy everything her big sisters do. Lets just say our house is never quiet. It is either filled with screams and tantrums and crying or its filled with laughter and squeals of delight. I really would not change it for the world. When our house is silent it kind of freaks me out.

The culprit

Sayge's missing tooth

Lately..

2009-11-09T18:31:00.004-07:00

I know I have been slacking off lately and I have not written anything but oh well life has been busy. Halloween was awesome! We had so much fun with My parents. We carved pumpkins and we went trick or treating. The girls were pretty princesses. I will post pictures when I get them on my computer. But we really did have a blast!! The girls got their flu shots and their h1n1 shots. It was really interesting and Sayge got to use herlungs at full force for the first time in awhile. We had to have a couple nurses hold her down then the best part was after she got the flu shot the first thing she says is, "oh, that wasn't so bad." Then Angel got the same shot and didn't even cry. It was just one of those days where you have to practice patience. (I totally almost failed.) Anyways, Then we finally got ALL of our Argentina pictures on Cd. We were at Walmart for (I am not even kidding...) 5 hours! We had to do it by the Kodak machine because the wal mart people were retarded and couldn't figure out how to do it. Its ok though because we also got a new camera since ours turned out to be retarded and didn't work half the time. (this was a week after we got back that we got the camera.) It took Matias a little while to persuade walmart that we past the 30 day deadline for returning the camera because we were on a plane when it past. We even showed them a plane ticket. It was so much fun but my awesome husband came through for us! (by the way our new camera is the best and has no problems..YAY NIKON!! BOO KODAK!!) But the best part of the whole trip to walmart was on the way home when my husband..mr. i can speed if I want cause I am a cop... got pulled over!! Sadly he did not get a ticket cause we were right next to Diamondville and he knew the cop. I was so hoping for the whole, "sir could you please exit the vehicle so we can frisk you" type of thing because that would have been hilarious! Most people are not laughing when they get pulled over but I seriously could not stop. The cop probably thought I was weird cause I was laughing so hard. Anyways, I have other stuff to write about like.....CHRISTMAS!! We decorated our house today. (except the tree that does not come up til Thanksgiving night..its tradition) We figured that its better to have the decorations up for 2 months instead of 2 weeks especially with our girls who love the decorations. Our tradition has always been that once we decorate every night we turn off all the lights in the house but the Christmas ones and we watch a Christmas movie. So we are starting that tonight by watching Fred Claus. Our house looks awesome! Its good to have a little Christmas Spirit around. Even the deer are everywhere now. They ate the pumpkins off our front porch. Even though I have seen deer all my life and we have lived places where they are always around our house I still get amazed by them every time I see them. Anyways, That is everything that has happened in the past little bit in a short version. I pity the person who has to hear the long version....like my mom who has to hear everything during the 5 phone calls a day...sorry mom! (Really..I do call her like 5 times a day I have the phone records to prove it.) Anyways I hope everyone had a great Halloween and has a great Thanksgiving!!

Argentina is AMAZING!

2009-10-24T12:05:00.002-06:00

Argentina was AMAZING!! I seriously didn't expect to loved it as much as I did. The girls were actually not too bad on the plane getting there. We arrived in Argentina in the morning so we had a full day to just look around. Ok the driving there is totally crazy they can take a 3 lane road and make it into a 6 lane road. I seriously don't know why they even paint lines on their roads. It took a little bit to get used to it but after like the first couple days I didn't even notice the driving anymore. The buildings are amazing. we took a tour of the city and we got to go around to all the sites and take pictures and just spend some time. We actually took 3 tours while there. The first was the city tour then the last couple days of our trip we took the tigre city tour and the gaucho tour. WE rode on a train and a boat on the tigre tour it was fun. The girls were kind of bratty but it worked out good. My favorite tour was definitely the gaucho tour!! The ranch was awesome and they did an Asado and while we were eating they danced and sang. The dancing was great!! THey even pulled people up to dance. The gaucho came over and actually pulled my chair out from under me when I tried to recline to dance. It ended up being pretty fun. Matias was even pulled up with a group to learn the tango. (Matias did his version of the tango. It was the funniest thing ever!!) We rode on a wagon and a tractor ride. We got a dvd of the tour since our camera batteries died. Its a good dvd we watched it last night and we are in it a lot. We got the dvd of the Tigre tour too. We also went to the coast! We loved it! We went to the beach and we found some awesome seashells. We also found some crabs. We went to Mundo Marino and the girls got to feed seals some fish. We went to all the shows and had a blast. The only crappy thing was I guess the night before the scenery at the Killer whale show was burned and some stuff fell in the water of the dolphin and killer whale tank they had it all cleaned up but they didn't do too much of a show with the killer whale but it was still really a lot of fun. We went around Santa terisita, San clemente, los totinas, and a couple other places. It was really a lot of fun. The girls loved the beach. We even had a dog follow us around on the beach. I named her buddy. She stayed close to Sayge or Alexye when Matias and I were kind of walking ahead of them. the girls were not allowed to touch her since we didn't know if she was nice or whatnot but after a while I couldn't help it and we pet her a little. I wanted to bring her home. We got to go to the zoo with everyone too. Anyways, We had a great time with Tio and Tia and Rosy. Tia and Rosy had school but we spent as much time as we could with them. Sayge and Alexye did really good when it came to the language barrier. Sayge even picked up on a lot of it. Whenever we ordered ice cream and we asked her what she wanted she would say chocolate in spanish. We all got sick after 5 days of being there. Sayge got over it quick but alexye was coughing up really bad with a fever and Angelyse got it too. There was a virus going around. Angelyse's fever would not go down. we finally took them to the hospital after Angelyse's fever was getting worse and alexye was coughing so bad that her nose started bleeding. It all turned out ok and after a day or so they both made great recoveries. Lexye and angel still have a little bit of a cough but thats all. Anyways I really wish I could write everything we did but that would take up a lot of time!! I really loved it over there. Matias and i are thinking that when he retires we would maybe go live over there for a little bit. The food is way better over there. Even Mcdonalds tastes better over there. Coca Cola tastes a lot better too. I can't drink coke here anymore cause it tastes so weird and its not good to me anymore. But that is a good thing because I need to stop drinking pop anyways. The people are really nice and it is really kid oriented over there. When our kids threw fits nobody gave us dirty looks or anything like that and everyone commented on how gorgeous our girls were. Even in Mundo Marino people payed more attention to us than to some of the attractions. We actually got surrounded and people kept asking us questions and taking pictures of us and the girls. It was really weird. I never want to be famous I hate all the attention. I can't wait to go back and visit! Anyways I am going to put pictures up once we get them all on a Cd we took a little over 2000 but I will only put up a select few. I really really want to write everything we did and every detail but yeah that will be totally impossible. I can say that I loved every minute we were there I really can't wait to go back. Everything was AMAZING!!!!!! Pictures will be posted soon.

Six crazy years and counting.

2009-10-06T13:43:00.005-06:00

Ok so I know I said that I was done posting til after Argentina but I forgot to tell my husband how much I love him and that I am really looking forward to our 6 year anniversary and the many more anniversaries to come! The past six years have had a lot of ups and some downs to even them out but I seriously would not trade one single weird, loving, and crazy moment of the past 6 years. So I just wanted to say thanks to my awesome husband and the love of my life and one of my best friends Matias! Thanks for putting up with me for the last 6 years!! (I thought I would add just some of the pictures from our wedding. I had to take pictures of the pictures so they are not that good but oh well you can still see it.)

Snowman pictures

2009-10-05T10:11:00.002-06:00

Ok so this will definitely be the last post but I had to post pictures of our little buddy.

SNOW!!...and other things.

2009-10-04T20:48:00.004-06:00

There is a lot to be excited over today. First of all IT'S SNOWING!! We have about 2-3 inches outside it looks awesome!! I love how cold it is! Sayge and Alexye are so excited about the snow. The only downfall is that Sayge now thinks it is Christmas time so she keeps singing Jingle Bells. We explained to her that snow comes before and after Christmas and that its just part of Winter. I got crazy looks today when I had to run to the store and I went in just my T-shirt. It was snowing and cold but I didn't care. Anyways other than that I am excited because we are all done packing! I have a list of like 4-5 things that still need to be packed but those are last minute things. Our suitcases are all ready and sitting in our room. It is less stressful now that everything is done. Even my house is pretty much clean. (I don't know what happened to me I am usually not this organized!!) We are getting so excited to go! I am really nervous about the plane but as Matias always says when I start getting nervous, "If the plane crashes than oh well we won't be here so there is no worries." Yeah Im not joking...he really says that. He just jokes though cause he knows it bothers me and he thinks I stress about it too much. I really do love his twisted sense of humor especially when he only does it to distract me. Anyways, in a couple days we will be on our way!! The other great news is Matias got to talk to his brother Jason!! WE LOVE YOU JASON!! YOU are the BEST!!! (p.s I still don't believe that you are going to be nicer to me....we both know it isn't going to happen!! ;) ) Anyways, for all of you who don't understand that last bit...Don't worry about it. Another great thing that I am SO excited for is that we get to hang out with my Mommy and Daddy on Wednesday.. (yeah you read right.. I still call them my mommy and daddy and I probably always will.) We are going to the Halloween store on Wednesday (Everyone knows how we Carson's love Halloween!) and to top it all off I get to see Sienna!! My bestest friend in the whole world!! (I can't wait to see ya!) Anyways this will probably be my last post before we leave to Argentina so all I have to say to that is SEE YA!! (I hope everyone stays safe while we are gone!)

Okay so I was looking on the net and I stumbled across this
picture they took of Angelyse in the hospital. I had no idea
that they took it of her.

This was when it first really started to snow. Alexye and Sayge
kept trying to throw snowballs at me.

This is Angelyse's purple teddy bear that she got at the ER.
She stopped resenting it and will actually play
with it now.

Angel's bad morning

2009-10-02T06:43:00.002-06:00

The worst thing than taking your 1 year old daughter to the ER at 4am is taking your 1 year old daughter to the ER at 4am and it being only 14 degrees outside. Angleyse has had a fever for the past day. I thought it was just due to her teething but this morning around 3am she woke up breathing really rapidly and hard and she felt like a fireball. When I took her temp it was 102. So I figured better safe than sorry since she was breathing rapidly with a temp and to top it all off she had explosive diapers. So I ran her into the ER. It was so freezing and my car was iced over. Anyways they did blood work and an x-ray and gave her some medicine to bring her fever down. The x-ray was ok. I forgot what it is called but something is shifted slightly to the left but he says it isn't the cause of her breathing rapidly and that its nothing to worry about. Her white blood count was high so he put her on Antibiotics. Thankfully her fever went down. The x-ray was the worst part. They put her in this weird contraption that looked like a torture device that had her kinda hanging and her hands had to be held over her head and her head had to be pushed forward. Lets just say that the screaming was almost deafening. I felt so bad for my baby angel. The blood wasn't so bad I think by that time she was just so worn out but she still put up a fight when they tried to hold her down. They gave her a purple teddy bear but by that time she was pissed. If looks could kill all the nurses and the teddy bear would not have survived. I would take a picture of her with the teddy bear but she won't go near it and she fell asleep when we got home. I got home right in time to wake Sayge up for school. Well, That was our lovely morning so far. Hopefully our day goes by less eventful. Oh and by the way.. Its 6:56am and it is only 16 degrees! I seriously love it!! (I just hate it when we have to rush somewhere.)

New camera

2009-09-26T16:31:00.005-06:00

Ok we got a new camera and it is really awesome!! So I figured I would put up some pictures that we have been having fun and taking. Plus I was really hyper last night and kept taking weird pictures of me and Matias and Angelyse. Sayge and Alexye were already in bed. But I put up some pictures of when we first got the camera and some of today.

Sayge and Alexye after I cut their hair.

Alexye

She is so freaking beautiful!!

Sayge

Sayge loves to pose it's cute!

I promise I really didn't bite her. She kept sticking her finger
in my mouth so I thought this would make a funny picture.
I think I have been reading too many vampire novels.

Me just having fun with the camera. Usually I hate having
my picture taken but I was in a weird mood.

Here I am again. I guess I am trying to prove that I do exist since
there are hardly any pictures of me.

Angelyse

Sayge and Alexye running around like crazy.

I love this picture Lexye's hair looks awesome!

On our way home from Walmart. I was playing with the camera.

Me with the love of my life!

Angel was walking toward me with a weird face so I took a picture.

Sayge sleeping

Alexye

DON'T SHOOT!!

Imaginations

2009-09-26T08:27:00.002-06:00

For the past week Sayge and sometimes Alexye have been mentioning a little boy that comes into their room at night and sometimes a man is there too and the man will take the little boys hand and they walk downstairs and out our front door. Sayge always says that the door doesn't open and that they just walk through it. They didn't really mention it all that much til the last couple days Sayge keeps saying she is worried the little boy will come back. She isn't afraid to go to sleep or anything and there isn't anything weird going on in our house so I figured it was their imagination. Its amazing the imaginations my girls have. It always amazes me the things they come up with.

Crazy Week

2009-09-25T09:06:00.002-06:00

This week has been a pretty crazy week for us.On Sunday I lost my phone. Ok so I didn't lose it I kinda had it in my sweater pocket and I forgot about it and I sorta put it through the washing machine. Lets just say it is now deceased. On Monday we were suppose to go to Walmart when Sayge got out of school. Ok for us Walmart is a way to get out of town and get stuff we need that isn't in our regular stores or stuff that's a lot cheaper. So we were going there to get stuff for Argentina since we are leaving in less than 2 weeks. Anyways, Matias had court at 1pm. No big deal cause Sayge doesn't get home til around 3:30pm. But yeah things didn't really work out because Matias's work called him to come in 3 times! So we had to go to Matias's work and wait while he ran in. I didn't really let it stress me out because #1 it's extra money and #2 we were still going to go to Walmart. (I desperately needed to get out of the house and town) So we ended up leaving aroun 4:30pm. walmart was exciting we got a new camera. Its a Kodak c180 or something like that. It is so easy to use I think even Sayge and Alexye could use it...in fact they have actually taken pictures with it. So that was exciting plus the girls got new shoes since their old ones were kinda falling apart. So that was our monday. Tuesday was Matias's day off too. (I say day off very lightly because he always gets called for something) We just spent the day waiting for my new phone to get here. we got sick of waiting and took a walk and went to the library. My phone finally got here around 8:30pm. (The world was right once again. just kidding!)
Wednesday was boring and we didn't really do much. Thursday we took the girls to get their shots. We were a little behind. Sayge only had to get 1 shot and she was terrified. She screamed more before the shot than she did after. Alexye was our bravest little girl she barely cried when it happened. But an hour after she milked it and used it as an excuse for everything. I know shots are sore after but that shouldn't affect your hand and your speaking ability. She is so funny. Angelyse was a little more complicated. We had to call Duchesne to get her records and they said they had no record of giving her shots. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I know the exact date she got her shots and who gave them to her. I guess they didn't record them. I was so mad cause since they didn't record them the doctor didn't know what shots to give her. we were in the office for an extra 1/2 hour waiting to see what we could get done. But Wyoming is awesome and got things done. The poor girl got 4 shots. She screamed more when the nurse came back to put a band aide on than the actual shots. after that the day went on as normal I was still upset about angelyse's records. I just can't believe they didn't put it in their system I mean this kind of stuff has an affect on peoples lives. I understand people get busy but still they were not too busy to charge me for the visit, as you can tell I'm still a little bitter about it. Anyways life will go on. This week has just been one of those week that you hope will go by fast and not come back. I'm really glad we get to go on Vacation soon. All of us really need it. :)

what I am talking about when I explain a different picture.

Alexye making faces at the camera.

Ok so here is the explanation. Mom has been hiding an old pair of
pajama bottoms of dads waiting for the right time to burn them.
Dad used to wear these pants ALL the time. So mom tried to put
them in the fire and so Matias grabbed them so that the "legacy"
will live on. Yeah so now we have the pants and it will forever be our
tribute to dad

Alexye coming out of the tent

Awesome Clouds!

Matias and Angel

Angelyse loves to explore

My hot husband by the hot fire. Ok yeah that was corny
but oh well.

Mom made an awesome breakfast. She even brought blueberry muffins!
She is the best cook EVER!!

him to hold.

Angelyse loved crawling around. And no she didn't go into the

She cocks the gun by herself. It is so awesome to watch!

After crawling around on the ground no one wanted to touch the
dirty little baby so mom came up with a new way of transporting her.

Dad and Matias trying to shoot a tin can.

Can you tell who did all the work at camp?

My daddy!!!

Chilling next to the fire. (I'm serious it was
really chilly!!)

Ok so next time you talk to Matias ask him how many times
he hit the can....(that excludes when he was right next to it)
He is a great shot with a pistol but with a BB gun...... :)

sayge threw the frisbee at me so I hurried and took
a picture. The smoke from the fire makes it look awesome!

I know this picture is already up but I really like it!

My crazy funny little girls

2009-09-17T10:06:00.004-06:00

My little girls are so adorable. The funny thing is that they love to dance and right now their favorite person to dance to is Britney Spears and Katy Perry. Matias always rolls his eyes and laughs when they start singing Britney Spears at any random time. We were at the grocery store once and out of no where Sayge starts singing "If you seek Amy" So Alexye decideds to start singing "Womanizer." The funniest public singing that we had was from Sayge when we just got out of the car and we were walking into the store and Sayge jus starts singing the song that was on the radio. Whats so funny about this you ask.....well the song was "I kissed a girl." by Katy Perry. I burst out laughing because I just didn't expect it. We got a couple weird looks but we had some lady laugh and say how cute our girls were. We made Sayge stop singing that song but still I couldn't stop laughing. My girls are always making me laugh. They really amaze me everyday with things they do or say. I really love having girls! I would love a little boy and so would Matias but I would never change a thing about having girls. I love their emotional break downs that they already have. I think it will be fun when they grow up. Alexye already wants to dye her hair black like mine. (even though its just a really dark brown it looks almost black right now til it fades.) Matias said no but I think when they grow up I will do what my parents did. No tattoos or piercings but they can do whatever they want with their hair. (I remember putting purple streaks in my hair.) I just love our girls to death! Even when they are crazy and don't listen.

I put music on today while cleaning and Angelyse just kept
dancing and shaking her butt. It is the funniest thing ever!

Alexye just runs around like crazy when she
dances it is awesome.She dances just like Matias!

Alexye loves to play model sometimes. She is very
photogenic.

Angelyse dancing to the music.

Sayge is at school so sadly she isn't here for the pictures or dancing.

My girls!

2009-09-13T14:27:00.004-06:00

Last month while I was at Alco I was approached and asked if I wasnted to get pictures taken of my girls. Well we have never really professionally taken pictures of the girls except for when Pam takes them down in Arizona so I said ok. We finally got the pictures back!! As everyone knows Angelyse does not like strangers so it was really hard to get her picture cause she kept crawling away or crying but we still managed to get a pretty good picture of her. Sayge and Alexye were excellent and they did really good! THey didn't give me an option for a cd so I had to take pictures of their prints with my camera so they don't look as good on here but at least you can see them. Oh and don't pay attention to their outfits cause I didn't know they were getting pictures taken when we went to the store. Thankfully Sayge and Alexye kinda matched and they all looked super cute.

Sayge and Alexye! They took the cutest photo. Angel would not sit there
so the photographer snapped a couple of Sayge and Alexye
and it turned out gorgeous!!

Angelyse of course was crawling and the photographer said something and she looked up and so snap there is the picture. It was either this one or one of her bawling. I still love it though!

Here is my gorgeous Alexye! She takes the best pictures!
She always looks so angelic!!

Sayge never really looks at the camera so this picture
definitely suits her. She looks so cute!

My beautiful little girls!!

Camping!

2009-09-13T12:49:00.003-06:00

We went camping this weekend for Angleyse's birthday. It was so much fun. My dad and mom came up to go with us. We left after Sayge got home from school and we headed up toward a camping site we have always wanted to go. Sadly the one we wanted was taken but we still got a great site! When we got there we set up camp. It took us a little bit to figure out our tent cause we lost the instructions and we have not set it up for a couple years. Thank goodness we all came together and figured it out! Especially mom and dad! Then we got the fire started and we roasted hot dogs it was so good. The girls loved it. We also went for a little hike and then we made s'mores. When we got in our tent the wind started kicking up and thank goodness we had a good tent. It was so freaking cold outside! When morning came Matias braved the cold and went outside to get the fire started. I got the girls ready and we went outside and started our day. All Sayge wanted to do was shoot her BB gun so she spent all day shooting "bears and monsters." She kept yelling, "Stay away from my family." Alexye even shot a little bit and Matias taught Angelyse to shoot. We figured since there was parental supervision that you are never too young to start learning. For all of you who are freaking out over this don't worry we are not going to let them run around wild with a BB gun. We taught them the rules before we let them shoot. Anyways, It got warmer as the day went on. Angelyse just crawled around in the dirt and had fun. I was surprised that she didn't try to stick anything in her mouth. I have some pictures I took with my phone but my parents took most of the pictures on their camera since ours broke so the pictures I have are not that great but once I get some from my parents I will post those. Camping was awesome and we really can't wait to go a lot more next year!!!

Angelyse's 1st Birthday

2009-09-09T20:00:00.004-06:00

It is crazy to think that a whole year has gone by since Angelyse's dramatic entrance into the world. I still remember Matias having to rush me into the hospital and having her about an hour after we got there. (of course it was too late for pain meds..thanks a lot angelyse!!!) Anyways today she turned a year old and she has already done so much. She has moved 3 times one out of state, She has put up with her older sisters (sometimes I think it is a miracle she lived) and she has Matias and I wrapped around her little finger. Today she woke up with a huge smile and of course the first thing she says is, "Papa" So I called Matias so he could wish her a happy birthday since he was at work. When we walked down the stairs she was in awe over the balloons she kept pointing at them and trying to grab them off the walls. Alexye helped her get the higher balloons that she couldn't reach. Then I gave her and Alexye a bath and got on her birthday outfit. I tried to take some cute pictures but all she wanted was to play with the balloons. Anyways, After getting ready I figured I would let her have fruit loops for breakfast. (she has had them before but not in a bowl of milk) Then we just hung out til Matias got home at 3pm and Sayge got home from school shortly after. Then we let her open her gifts She got a fabric camping doll set and she got some clothes and she got a couple other toys. She didn't know what to do at first but she got the hang of ripping the paper off. Then we had dinner. Instead of making a fancy dinner or taking her out (she is only 1) I made the best toddler food I could think of...Chicken nuggets and french fries. I figured it was her right of passage from infant to toddler. Then we did her cake. Matias got crafty and made her a duck cake. He even decorated it. (He has many hidden talents!) I made a small cake that was just for her. She screamed when we sang happy birthday and when we tried to have her blow out the candle she screamed even harder. She was afraid of the flame. But once she saw what to do with the cake she went to town and ate half of her small cake. So all in all she had a really great 1st birthday. It couldn't have gone better! (besides the fact we all have colds.) Oh the best part to the morning was that when I took Sayge out to the bus it was 30 degrees! Here are some random pictures from Angelyse's day!

2009-09-06T17:40:00.002-06:00

Today my neighbor came over and asked if she could take the girls to church today since I have been sick the past couple days and Matias was at work. So when it came time the girls got in their dresses and left. It was just Sayge and Alexye that went because Angelyse has been really crabby with teething and all that fun stuff. When Deb (my neighbor) brought them back home she told me that since today the testimony meeting that after a couple kids got up to bear their testimony Sayge and Alexye wanted to go up too. So she took them up and both Sayge and Alexye bore their testimony for the first time! I guess Sayge just kept talking for a couple minutes and I am sure that not a lot of people could understand her but it is the thought that counts. I'm sad that Matias and I missed their first time bearing their testimonies but it was exciting to hear that my 2 little girls were brave enough to go up in front of a lot of people and share. (every one knows I am not that brave.) Sayge and Alexye were so excited when they got home and Sayge went through her whole testimony again so I could hear it. I really am a very lucky person to have the family that I do. My girls amaze me every day and my husband is more than I could ever ask for!

Cowboy the 2nd (The newest member of our family)

2009-08-31T08:02:00.003-06:00

Yesterday I had to run to the store..yes I know it was sunday but get over it...just kidding. Anyways while I was there there were some kids giving kitties away. Now everyone who knows me good knows that I have been wanting a kitty so freaking bad. Matias always tells me no because he doesn't want a kitty he wanted a dog. (We always got into little arguments on why I think we should get a cat and why matias thinks we shouldn't...he mostly wins) Anyways I always said if I found another cat that was white that looked like Babi or our other cat Cowboy then I would get it. So I just happen to look in the box and there was our fluffier version of Cowboy. So any normal nice wife would call her husband to ask him..no...beg him to let us get the kitty but I knew Matias would say no so I just came home from the store and the kitty happen to come with me. Alexye ran outside to greet me and she got so excited when she saw Cowboy. I was trying to figure out a way to sneak him in and break it gently to Matias but it was too late cause Alexye ran inside and told Sayge to come look at what Mommy brought home. Lets just say that Matias was not so thrilled. He told me to take it back (He knew deep down I would never take it back..this is not the first time a kitty happen to "follow" me home) The girls love it to death! Angelyse actually screams every time it comes near her unless someone is holding it. She is getting used to the idea of having something furry running around. Right now Cowboy should count his blessings that Angelyse isn't crawling after him. Even Matias is getting used to having him around. Last night after the kids went to bed Matias put Cowboy next to him on the couch while he was on the computer and he kept telling cowboy the "rules" of the house and what he has to do. He acts tough but I know deep down he likes him. Especially if he ends up acting like our last Cowboy kitty. So yet again Matias is the best and most understanding
husband in the world!! He spoils me even when he doesn't want to.

Our Saturday with Pops and Nana!

2009-08-29T22:37:00.005-06:00

We had so much fun today! We woke up and went to Fossill Butte national monument/ We got to look at cool fossills and such. Then we came home and we had an early dinner and we got to then go for a walk. We walked to the park where we had so much fun playing. Then we went for a walk by the river and golf course where we saw some more deer. While we were at the river we saw police lights go by and they turned up our street so we hurried home from the walk. (we got a good workout walking really fast) We thought it was our house but it ended up being a truck rolled down our street and hit our neighbors retaining wall and rolled over the top our their red car and then missed another house and slammed into a black truck, There was a 2 year old in the truck without a car seat and unsupervised. The baby was lucky and didn't have a scratch on him. It was crazy. (STUPID PARENTS!!!) anyways so we had an eventful day. We love it when Dad and mom come to visit because we always have so much fun and we are always laughing when they are around. My parents are a blast!! WE LOVE YOU POPS AND NANA!! We always have so much fun!

We convinced my daddy and mommy to come up again this weekend..Thats 2 weekends in a row!!! We are really glad that we got my dad up here this time since he was off of work. Tonight we went for a walk down by the river. We got to see some more deer. Last weekend with mom when we went walking down by the river and golf course and we saw a lot of big bucks. we can't wait to go down by the river tomorrow to see if there are more. Tomorrow our plan is to just hang out and have fun and mom is cooking milanesas (It's an Argentine food. We love it!!) We have already had so much fun and it has only been half a day so I can't wait for what fun a full day will bring. We really love and enjoy it when my parents come up to see us. We never have a dull moment! We love you Daddy and Mommy!! Anyways here are some pictures from tonight and some from last weekend.

First Day

2009-08-27T11:00:00.005-06:00

Hey everyone I know I have been on this a lot but oh well. Sayge's first day went great. She loved it. I think the best part was that Matias came home for lunch so he could be there when she got off the bus since he couldn't be there when she went to school and when she got off the bus she yelled out, "Mommy" and ran right past Matias to me. I did feel bad for Matias but that only lasted for a second because I am selfish that way. All she talked about all day was how nice her teacher was and that they went and played outside and that she made new friends. She ever wrote her name all by herself. (She did that already but the teacher put a star next to it so she was so excited.) While Sayge was at school Alexye and Angelyse and I had a blast. We made cookies..well ok I will confess I put the dough in the oven. My mommy made the cookie dough when she came up last weekend. (That's why the cookies were edible) THANKS MOMMY!! After that Alexye got to watch her favorite Barbie movie. Then we went outside and Alexye kept asking me to draw pictures on the sidewalk for her. So we ended up drawing cats, dogs, houses, and last but not least Alexye begged me to draw Hannah Montana. (I used the black colored chalk. :) ) By then Matias came home and Sayge's bus came. Today Sayge woke up all excited to go. we actually almost missed the bus It came early so it's a good thing we were looking out the window or else we would have missed it. Sayge went running up the street yelling, "Bye Mommy I love you." It was so cute. So now Alexye wanted to play upstairs and make as she calls them, "Nana's cookies." and she took Angelyse up stairs with her. Alexye really misses Sayge when she is gone. Yesterday she kept asking if Sayge was coming home soon cause she wanted her to come home. Alexye is the sweetest little girl ever. She will be going to preschool soon and then itll be just me and Angelyse
.

Kindergarten

2009-08-26T08:33:00.004-06:00

Ok so I just dropped Sayge off for her first day of Kindergarten. I will admit I got a little misty eyed. I'm a total sap I know. It's really hard to believe that I actually have a 5 year old. She was so excited for school today. She woke up at 6:45am all excited all she said all morning is, "I'm going to Kindergarten..Yay!" I really never want to do a first day of kindergarten again but I know that it will be Lexye's turn next year. Now lets just hope she doesn't get lost coming home on the bus. Thankfully the bus stop is right up our street but still you never know.

Summer ends and school begins but the fun isn't over!

2009-08-23T13:54:00.004-06:00

It is crazy how fast this summer went by. It seems like just yesterday Sayge was graduating from Pre school and we were moving to Wyoming. This summer has been a lot of fun. We have done a lot of fun things. We have started a new life up in Wyoming and Matias has started a new job. We had fun at Fossil Fest here in Kemmerer and we also went to Oyster Ridge Music Festival in Kemmerer. My Dad and Mom came up alot! We loved every minute of it. We are hoping to get them up here to stay. We got to watch all the fireworks for the 4th of July. Our neighbors did the big ones that you shoot in the air so we got a front row seat to them. We got to visit and discover a lot of awesome places up here. I really don't think there was ever a day or two that we were bored. We were always out and doing something. This summer we also got to go down Provo Canyon to a Benson Family party. Matias and the girls got to meet family that I have not seen for years. It was really great to see everyone together. We have had a really great summer! It is crazy to think that in a couple days Sayge will be in Kindergarten and Alexye will be in Pre school. We are not that sad to have summer end because we still have alot of things to look forward to in the next months. Angelyse will turn 1 on September 9th and on the 11th and 12th of September my family will be coming up to go camping to celebrate her birthday . Then on October 8th we will be flying to Argentina to spend two weeks with Matias's Tio and Tia that I have never met. Then after that we have HALLOWEEN!! We have my parents coming up for Halloween. Then we have Thanksgiving to look forward too. Then of course after that we have Christmas. We are really looking forward to that cause Matias's Dad and Mom and Abuelo are coming up to spend Christmas with us! SO Summer may be over but for us the fun is just beginning.

Yellowstone and Jackson

2009-08-23T13:47:00.003-06:00

In July we decided to take a little mini vacation and go to Yellowstone. We drove to Jackson and we just walked around and spent the day then the next day we went to Yellowstone. It was the girls first time and Matias and I have not been there since we were both little kids. We had so much fun. We saw a bear and we saw moose and elk and of course we saw Buffalo. We wanted to do something fun before school started. Sayge and Alexye loved Old Faithful and the buffalos the most. Sayge's favorite part was when a buffalo walked right past the car window and Alexye's favorite part was when there was a sleeping buffalo next to the road and Matias yelled out the window, "Hey Bubba!" and the buffalo woke up. So now every buffalo is named Bubba.

New Milestones

2009-07-15T14:57:00.002-06:00

We have had a busy week with the girls. First Sayge and Alexye made pots out of clay yesterday while at the library for storytime and crafts. They did such a great job. I will take a picture of them and post them soon we still have to paint them. They hardly had help from me at all. It goes to show you how fast they grow up. Speaking of growing up. Angelyse now has her two top front teeth. We found out when she bit me on monday. That isn't the only thing she did though yesterday Angelyse took her first steps!! It was exciting. Of course she walked to her Papa first. I went into the kitchen and suddenly Matias gets all excited saying she took 2 steps to him. I of course didn't believe him til he made her take 2 steps to me. So I missed her very first step but it made Matias so proud that he was the one she walked too. So we have had a great week so far and it isn't even over!! Our girls are growing up way too fast. I still remember Sayge coming home from the hospital and now she is 5 and My little mama's girl Alexye is 4. Now my little baby is 10 months. Now I know how my Grandma B feels when sheused to make My brother and I promise we wouldn't grow up. Sorry Grams!!

Photo Contest

2009-07-15T14:51:00.005-06:00

Hey everyone. I entered Angelyse into a baby photo contest. She really needs votes and it would be awesome if y'all can take time and vote for her. It takes awhile but to us it is worth it. We would really appreciate it! Here is the link to the site and her picture.

THANKS!!!

Alexye turns 4!

2009-07-05T18:28:00.003-06:00

Today Alexye turned 4. It's crazy how my kids seem to grow up so fast. For Alexye's birthday she wanted everything to be Barbie and the diamond castle. We got all 3 girls tiaras to wear so they could all be princesses. Alexye's cake was a princess cake. Also for her birthday Nana and Pops came up to see her. Even though they had just got done hiking the subway down in Zion National Park and they were sore and tired. We really appreciate them coming up and helping us make Alexye's birthday special. Matias had to work but he got to come home for an hour so he could have cake and ice cream and open gifts. Tonight when Matias gets home we are going to let the girls do sparklers. we thought it would be a perfect ending to a great birthday!

When you think of Wyoming what do you think of...

This is what I think of. We were taking a ride in the mountains and
we looked on top and there a cowboy on a horse. Perfect picture!

Fathers Day!!!

For fathers day we went to Fossil Butte National Monument. I tried to surprise Matias but being a cop he knows the area and guessed when I told him it was 9 miles away. we had so much fun. The girls got to make fossil pictures and then we drove around the mountain. It has been a really fun day. The girls love every minute they get to be with their Papa. They are really lucky to have such a great papa. He is the best father to them. We love him and we can't imagine our lives without him!

Our Eternal Marriage..

We have begun to prepare for having a temple marriage. I can't say exactly when this will happen but it will be in the near future. For the first time ever I went to a bridal place to look at wedding dresses. We were not really planning on going but we were at the mall with Sienna and well... if you know Sienna and I we always do the unexpected when we are together so we dragged matias in and I tried on 3 wedding dresses. Here is a picture of my favorite one..

I was so excited that I had to share this with everyone. We are excited for what the future will bring!

WYOMING!!

2009-06-19T14:31:00.010-06:00

Ok so the move to Wyoming has been awesome!

This is the house we are renting in Kemmerer Wyoming. It is really nice. Its 2 bedrooms but the rooms are freaking huge and to put a plus the girls's room was already painted pink! They love it they have so much room.

The people in the neighborhood we live in are so nice. The girls love them and they love playing out in the yard. (yes people we actually have GRASS!!!!! Miracles do happen.)

the best thing about the whole move is Matias's uniform. Why you ask.... well Since we got married I have always told Matias that one day I will get him into wranglers and cowboy boots. Of course his response was "over my dead body" well guess what......

BAM!!! Who's laughing now!

As you can tell I enjoy teasing him and rubbing it in every chance I get. Matias's favorite part of his job is diffrent from my favoriter part of course he loves his truck....

So so far things have been really great. We go for walks almost every night (on actual sidewalks! I know the shocks just keep coming! here is one more....we do not live on a dirt road!) although we live in a city the small town feel is still here and wildlife is still around. There was a moose in our neighborhood a little while ago they chased it out with a car. We see deer all the time on the little mountain by us. So far we are really enjoying Kemmerer.
