Matthew está visitando a sus abuelos en St. George Utah esta semana y justo nevó mucho (es muy raro que caiga nieve en St. George), aquí lo pueden ver jugando en la nieve y divirtiéndose mucho.
El siempre me pregunta cuándo va a caer nieve en Mesa y por suerte ahora se saco las ganas de verla.

Black Friday


Yo lo llamaría “Viernes Loco”, ya que todo el mundo se enloquece y andan realmente actuando como locos por conseguir una buena oferta
Para empezar; por que hay que abrir las tiendas a las 4am? No podrían hacerlo en horas normales?, como de 8 a 12am por ejemplo? No entienden que después de comer tanto pavo el día anterior uno tiene mucho sueno para levantarse a esas horas de la madrugada? Lo malo es que si no lo hago no encuentro ni la sombra de ninguno de los productos que anunciaban, así que ahí estoy yo también en el montón de locos tratando de encontrar algo, que FRUSTRACION!
Y la gente tratando de maniobrar esos carros, es como una selva de carros por todos lados! (deberían de poner un cartel afuera de la tienda que diga:(”Carros solo para artículos grandes”), ya que vi gente con carros y dos cajitas chiquitas adentro que bien se pueden llevar en la mano. Pero mi mayor frustración llego a la hora de pagar (y como siempre me pongo en la fila equivocada), la persona que estaba antes que yo tenía muchos electrónicos y por alguna razón la caja registradora no podía leer los códigos de barra de ninguno!, así que estuve en una fila por 25 minutos! Cuando solo debería haber estado ahí unos 10m minutos máximo. Y encima devolvió dos cosas.
Además me faltaban otras tiendas por recorrer todavía.
Termine de mal humor.

Since "Thanksgiving" it's around the corner...

I've been thinking of all the things that I am thankful for. . .

There are sooo many...

First of all my sweet family, Levi, Matthew and Abbey, I would have never believed that you could love someone so much! I always say now that I've got to know how much the Lord loves us the day Matthew was born, and then again with Abbey. I am so thankful for these sweet spirits that I get to share my life with, little did I know. . .

I am so thankful for the love they give me each day, they don't care if my hair isn't done, or if I didn't wake up in the best mood, my horrible accent when I speak english or where I'm from, they just show me their unconditional love every minute...every day...

And Levi getting up early every single day to go to work (for long hours) so I can stay home and don't worry about a thing, just enjoying my day with the kids, isn't that love? He never cared where I was from neither, or how many degrees I had, he just loves me the way I am... Isn't that a great thing to be thankful for?

I am thankful for the people that are no longer with me right now, some had left and I won't see them for a while like my mother Maria Elena, whom I only got to know for a short period of time and can't say much because I barely remember her, but so thankful for the courage she had of bringing me into this world.

And then my grandmother Maria Luisa, I have so many memories of her... so many. Like my sister says: if you had the chance of meeting her you only had two options, either she loved you forever or hated you forever, so funny, but sooo true, she hated all my boyfriends of course!!

I was lucky; she loved me!

My aunt "Negra", she was so funny and brought so much laughter into my life, and cats and dogs, since she loved to keep all the stray cats and dogs that wandered our neighborhood. She also played for hours and hours with me. She lives in Uruguay and I love her so much...

I am thankful for my sister Alex, thanks to her I am here ...and I know she is there if I ever need her. . . I can't believe she is a grandma though. . . she looks soo young.

I am thankful for my family in Uruguay, my friends from childhood with whom I still keep in touch even today.

My father and mother in law, who welcomed me into their family and love my children soo much...

I used to think that I had so little and now looking at others people's life and stories I FEEL SOO BLESSED!! and realized how much I had.

I am thankful for this country, my home now, even though Uruguay is always going to be my first home, my sweet home. I have learned to love the United States so much!!

I am thankful for my new friends from all over the world.

I am thankful for the Plan of Salvation, and Jesus Christ, I know that thanks to him and the plan I will see those that passed and get to know them again, and hug them and tell them how much I love them. . .

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THIS AND WANTED TO TELL YOU THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO ALL !!

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING DAY!!

Makeover!!


Here she gave herself a make over with a green marker.

Abbey trying to sneak out.



As soon as Abbey sees the front door open she tries to get out, she is fast to.
Tan pronto como Abbey ve la puerta del frente abierta trata de salir, es bien rapida tambien.

Peach Jam

Since Paty got a little carried away and bought to many peaches (it was for a good cause though, you only see part of them in the box), we needed to do something with them. So, we made jam, it turned out soooo good. And we are not done yet..

Patricia compro demasiados duraznos (fue por una buena causa, solo ven una parte en la caja),y no sabiamos que hacer con ellos.Se nos ocurrio hacer mermelada de durazno. Salio tan rica! Aun no terminamos...













Getting there.

Almost done.


Final Product.

Matthew's Birthday

Tomorrow September 21st is Matthew's birthday, but we celebrated today.
We went to Chuck e Cheese and had lots of fun with grandma and grandpa. And then we invited some friends over for cake and ice cream. And yes for the ones that were wondering I (Paty) made the cake, that's what Matthew wanted, a Sponge Bob Square Pants cake. Grandma Sue made the pinata.

We can't believe our boy is 4 already!! Man they grow fast!!
What a fun day we had!
