Congratulations! You Have Won a Camera

Phillip called me Friday to inform me that he had won a digital camera at work. He was so excited and so was I because the one we have right now doesn't take very good pictures. We'll see how this works for us!

Vamos Selección Mexicana!

The U.S. played good yesterday, it just wasn't enough. We had faith that they would be able to win, but it just didn't happen. So now the team gets to come back home :(


Today México plays Vs. Argentina, it will be a good game with lots of surprises. Vamos México, I believe in you!

These really are the last pictures of Mexico

We loved our Mexico experience. Phillip and Maya loved my hometown! Thanks everyone for making this vacation a special one. Love you all!!!

So, I am feeling a lot better now about this pregnancy. When I first found out, I felt a lot of fear. I was afraid of how challenging school would be, if we would have enough money to support an extra person, if I would be able to handle two babies, etc. Right now, I feel more peace. I know everything will be more challenging but I know that the Lord knows how much I can handle and I don't think He will give me more than that. The good thing about this pregnancy is that after the baby comes I will be 2/3 done :) I have told Phil that 3 kids is my max and he understands (ahhh, that makes me happy). I just don't see myself having more, I think I would go nuts and end up in a crazy house or something.
The only thing that I am not liking is not being able to enjoy my food. I couldn't eat Phillip's chicken wings on Sunday(they tasted nasty), and other foods and snacks I usually enjoy, I can't eat them right now. I guess that will help me keep a healthy weight, maybe.
I need help in trying to find a healthy pregnancy diet that will help me keep a healthy weight. I am trying very hard to not have bad foods and I am exercising 5 days a week ( I am still running). Please, share ideas with me. I would love to hear from expert mothers.
Thank you!

Happy Father's Day

I know this post is a little late, but it's better late than never. On Sunday, after church we came home and I went straight to the kitchen. I fixed Phillip's beloved chicken wings and fried rice, and didn't forget the dessert! I baked a dutch apple pie (which he loves with vanilla ice cream). He got flowers, cards, and an Angels' hat (I had other plans for his gift, but it was way too expensive. Not that he doesn't deserve that and more but we just got back from an expensive trip and were a little broke).

After dinner we went to my favorite park for a walk. I think Maya had a lot of fun with her daddy. I love to see them play together, they are way cute! I think Phillip enjoyed his day. Maya and I really tried to make his day a special one.

Well, I hope you had a good one Honey. We sure love you and we are very grateful for your wonderful parenting skills :) Thanks for being a great Father and an awesome husband.

Saturday Fun

We had our quarterly Primary activity last Saturday and I think we had a great turn out. The kids had a lot of fun getting us wet, particularly brother Jensen who still is a "kid" at heart. He really enjoyed getting all of us, the adults wet.


After church we came home and I fixed Phillip's lunch for work. Maya went down for a nap and after she woke up we went to do some shopping for Father's Day dinner. After all the shopping had been done, Maya and I went to Heidi's for a little swimming.

The last pictures of México

On Friday we went to Guamuchil Parque Acuatico, it was super fun. Tia Maria and her family came with us to spend the day. We had a lot of fun going down the watertubes! We can tell Maya is going to be a little mermaid because she loves the water :) I can't wait to do swimming lessons with her.




okay I will finish tomorrow, I am going to bed.
