Feliz Navidad!

Christmas.

Last year it was spent with our beloved family in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Christmas morning, Samuel and I were the first ones awake. We went upstairs and opened up some of his presents while everyone else lay asleep. Seems kind of selfish I know, but hey it wasn't that early and he was ready!

A little later the rest of the family joined us since one of Samuel's presents made noise and eventually woke them up.


Here are some pictures of his first real Christmas. It was so fun to watch him. I can't wait for this year's Christmas when he's more into it.


Our cutie pie


Love these grins!


Yeah, I ripped that open, not him


His nifty Sunday suit

His first Christmas pj's


Toys of course



This smile is priceless



We also had Christmas dinner with both families at my parents' place. On Christmas Eve, we spent it with my parents and made Gingerbread houses (graham cracker style) for the first time ever! (Yeah we're Hispanic) Roberto even made a car. It was fun!

    A car is really clever! I've never thought of doing anything besides a house. What fun! Love Samuel's grins! He is so cute! :) Glad you had a good Christmas with your families.

Hello there to all our family and friends. This is our first blog and we are excited to join all you bloggers out there! Since this is the first post, I thought I would just give a quick summary of our life right now. Roberto and I are currently in Rexburg, Idaho where we are both attending BYU-Idaho. This time of year we are off from school, so Roberto is working, doing landscaping and taking two night classes and I am looking for a job. We have been married for a little over a year and we are loving every moment together. Looking for a job in Rexburg has been tough (I've been looking since July), but in the mean time it has been a great opportunity for me to learn and grow from those around me. Recently I was able to find a temporary position for someone handing out flyers for their new website. Their paying me $50 bucks to do it! So I'm glad it's something. Other than that, I usually visit other people who are home all day, so if you want company, let me know! :) Roberto...

Hey! It's been a while, I know. We have been super busy with school and I also got to that point where I felt like I don't have anything exciting to post about. But then I remembered-its a blog and I can post about WHATEVER I want! So here I go writing another post just because. So school is just about done! We are in the last week before finals and its CRUNCH TIME. I can't believe how much time has passed by. Roberto will be done with his GE requirements after this semester and next semester will be my last semester on campus! I have received my placement for Student Teaching this fall in Salt Lake City. Its so CRAZY how fast it all goes by, hopefully all will go as planned and I will be a college graduate in December! :) I will keep you all updated as time goes on. I am SO looking forward to the break after this semester is done. We will be leaving to go to Salt Lake to play with family!! I don't know what it is, maybe I'm just not used to being in such a small t...

Whoa. That's unbelievable. Am I really that close to having a baby, becoming a Mom and changing my life forever? YES! :) It really is so amazing to be on this journey of pregnancy. Every time I feel this baby take up even more space inside of me, I awe in amazement. I am so grateful for this miracle. I'm sure I'll be in even more awe after I actually have my baby. Things have been pretty good. I was so glad when I passed my second glucose test. I don't wish that lousy test for anyone. I was so proud of myself for not puking when I totally felt like I was going to. I just forced myself to take deep breaths and look up and I overcame! There was no way I was going to drink another one of those things after 2 hours of waiting. Ha! Anyway, it was an experience I will never forget. I'm just glad I don't have a phobia of needles. Sheesh. Other than that, the baby has been measuring the way he should and his heartbeat has been great every time I've been to the docto...
