Family Home Evening

Every first family home evening of the year we talk about our personal and family goal for that year and also to talk about what we would like to do in the Spring Break and summer. Each of us say which place would be fun to go and we vote.
Tonight for FHE we talked about eat health,exercise,not to complain about what is to eat and try new things,eat your vegetables.
Yesterday Cody and Chad made dinner for all of us after church and it was very good.
More and more I appreciate the moments we spend together and we're building priceless memories.

My twin nieces

They're finally here, they're small. They came 3 weeks early and my sister-in-law stayed 53 days in the hospital in bed rest. I'm glad they're all okay, health. I wish I was there, but I was able to watch some from here. The hospital that she delivered in Brazil had in their website a link that you can watch some of the labor you just have to have a password. That was awesome.

New Years 2011

As always on new years eve we had some friends from church. We had a great time, dinner, we dance and fire work.
I love Christmas here in USA but I really like New years Eve in Brazil, I guess because is summer, before midnight we go to the beach and midnight we have the fireworks, it's beautiful, everybody wears white.We jump 7 waves and make wishes.
I can't just go to bed and wait for the new year, I have to celebrate it....

More New Year

Dotche

When I downloaded the camera this what I found, Dotche o top of my file cabinet with my X-mas decorations. Thais was in a little trouble...even though Dotch was cute....

I Love Christmas

I love X-mas, not because the presents,parties, but because the spirit of it. I love to decorate for it and all the memories that come as I decorate.Our family room tree has ornaments from family and friends, ornaments that my kids made when they were in preschool. I love snowman, they're all over my house.The snowman in my stairs my mother-in-law and I made I think 8 or 10 years ago.The deer on the table I also bought with my mother-in-law. Like I said everything has a little story.

Our wedding music....

Thanks for all the wonderful moments that you has given me, It has been the best 19 years of my life. I'll do anything for you, because you do everything for me :-) My endless love.

Our 19 year anniversary

Time flies, November 15th was our 19 years anniversary. We went out for dinner, that was very nice. We laughed how two people that are so different in some things can get along so well. I guess we're each other difference. I love this guy :-)

My sweet family

This is one of our end of the year family picture. I just feel so blessed for this wonderful gift that my Heavenly Father gave to me. A man that I love with all my heart and four precious children. They make my world, my life so complete.

More on Christmas eve

We played Secret Santa and Tati was sooooo happy that she got the highest number, so she'll be the last one to pick the gift. My mom had all my Brazilian friends mother to talk to.

Christmas Eve

We went to our friends house, we had a great time. We do Christmas Eve in the Brazilian way. On Christmas day we had a great X-mas dinner in our house as a family.
Cody is very handsome too, he does this face or purpose, he says I want him to smile in every picture. I get so mad at him and he laugh very hard.

Tati's 10th B-day

I feel a little bad to post Tati's b-day. I feel like I make a big party for the girls and not for my boys. I used to make cool parties for Cody and Chad, but as they got older they didn't want anymore.
I really had lots of fun preparing and organizing her party. Tati and her friends enjoyed, for me that's all that matters. She wanted a Candy Land party. I had a hard time keeping Greg way from the table :-)

Chad's B-day

Chad turned 15 on Nov 2, he didn't want a party, just go out for dinner with the family and of course his presents. I'm very thankful for Chad, he's funny and sweet.
No photo from the dinner.
Chad was the best surprise ever.......

Getting back to normal

I feel like my life is starting to get back to normal. It was awesome have my sister-in-law visiting us for 10 days and my mom for almost 3 month, but we get out our day by day routine no matter what.
I know for American is like what "3 month???????", but for me it's normal, my mom don't come very often, she thinks it's too much time inside a plain and it's. We had a lots of fun, specially the girls enjoyed having grandma around. They're very excited that grandma made their winter coat.We went see Austin Ballet.
