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

I really don't want to talk about this because I feel like a broken record. Some of you may already know about this struggle I am about to spill over about. Why am I writing this? I don't know for sure really. Maybe it's for me. Maybe it's for you. Well, here it goes. Why is the title of my post "2 years ago"? Well, that's because that's how long I've been waiting. That's how long I've been wanting. Yes, I want another child. Why hasn't it happened yet? I'm not sure. A LOT has happened in the past 2 years. My body has gone through A LOT just this past year alone (Addison's). I understand that. Kind of. But it still doesn't change how I feel about having another baby. This past weekend we had Stake Conference (it's a bigger church meeting) and at the Saturday evening session, a woman shared a story about her daughter, who had to wait 11 years to adopt her 2 children and have them sealed to her in the temple. She als
