My Brother goes on a Mission

I haven't posted for awhile, but heres a post I know it's alittle late, but like I always say better late than sorry. My little brother got his mission call awhile back to Guatemala. We had the oppurtunity to take him to the MTC last month which was a great experience. We went up the night before and stayed in a hotel next to temple square in Salt lake we walked around it and looked at everything for about 2 hrs it was an amazing experience we were going to go threw a session, but we found out the temple was closed so we couldn't which was ok. We then took my brother out to dinner and then it was back to the hotel to rest. the next morning we got up early to eat breakfast at the hotel then drive to provo and get lunch before he had to go to the MTC. We took him to the MTC which was a wonderful experience, but it was sad at the same time to see my brother off for 2 yr, but i know that he is doing a wonderful thing for the lord and i am grateful for that. He loves it up there and he says the ppl are very humble.

Halloween Fun 2011

Aquiel's 1st Birthday

This is a week late, but I couldn't figure out how to put it on here as a slide, but I finally figured it out. Aquiel turned 1 yrs old on October 22nd it was pretty low key we pretty much spent most the day home decorating her birthday cake which was tie dye in the inside with Marshmellow Creme which was a mistake to use cause it kept sliding off and we really couldn't decorated it she ended up having a Care Bear on top of it. It wasn't the best looking thing cause of the Marshmellow Creme, but it still look good it's the thought that counts right. Well Aquiel refused to take a nap so she was getting restless and cranky by the time it was time to leave for dinner and fun. We ended up taking her to McDonald's. When our others would turn one we would talk them to McDonald's to get their 1st kids meals we started this tradition with Trennady so it just makes since to do it with the others. So that is what we did with Aquiel and she loved it. Then we took her to Chuck E Cheese for some fun and games. There was a guy there who would play these games win a whole bunch of tickets then throw the in the air for the other kids to get which was nice of him. Then it was back home to sing Happy Birthday and have birthday cake which Aquiel loved she needed a bath by the time she was done. Then it was time for her to open gift then off to bed. I can't believe she is one it's hard to believe it seems like yesturday I was in labor giving birth to her.

Oh No

Last night we were not paying attention to what Aquiel was doing and her bowl of oatmeal was close to where she could get it and this is the result we got. Oatmeal all over the floor and her I guess she still must of been hungry she just smiled at us. I guess we better not leave things up close where she can get it cause this is what happens.

Vance's Birthday

Wednsday was Vance's birthday we didn't do anything to fancy I made him a nice dinner followed by birthday cake. he loved it here are some pictures of his big day. We rented a couple movies from redbox. He loved his gifts that the kids made him.

Air Show

A couple of weeks ago we went to a Air show in Mt. Home it wasn't my ideal thing I'm just not into those thing. Kids liked it, but got hot and wanted to go home already and they were hungry. We ended up walking around for a bit, but the end of the air show was awesome. Kids got autographs from the pilots. I think next time we go we will go a little later and not when it starts right away cause 4 hrs was to long for the kids, but all in all we had a great time.

Aquiel's 1st Steps

Well today was a great evening. Vance was on his computer and i was talking to him about something and all of a sudden Aquiel was standing which was normal, but she did it quite a bit, but today was special cause she took a couple of steps and i was yelling Vance Vance she's walking she's walking and he looked up to see her take her 1st steps and all night she had been working on it so we had to get some video's of proof that she was actually walking. Oh and to mention she is 10 months and 2 weeks not even a yr yet she was also our earlier crawled now out early walker soon. Wow where did the time go she's not a little baby no more it makes me sad, but at the same time excited.....
