Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day here in the good ol' USA. It was really lovely. Enrique and kids serenaded me till I woke up, gave me their presents and cute cards, then they made me a very yummy breakfast. They also made a yummy dinner too. Today in Mexico is Mother's Day. So I get to have 2 Mother's Days. Yippee for me!!!!!

Lili's Eating Solids

Lili has been interested in eating real food for some time now. I tried giving her some solids a few weeks ago but she would just gag on them. So I am trying again and she's getting a hold of it. I guess I should have started with green beans instead of peas, I mean who likes peas anyway. She is loving green beans. She's also very interested in eating her bib too. Oh Lili!

Stake Conference

Yesterday was our Stake Conference. Our stake was invited to attend at the Conference Center in Salt Lake. The girls were so excited about going inside this time for conference (during General Conference you have to be 8 years old or older to go inside). Elder Hales got up and spoke and the girls knew it was him. The last speaker was President Eyring, the girls knew him too. It was just one of those tender mercy moments. The girls know the First Presidency and 12 Apostles and how thrilling it was for them to get to see them and hear them speak. After it was over, as President Eyring is leaving, he was waving to the congregation and the girls were waving back. Then Gaby took off. She was determined to get to him and say 'bye' to him. When she realized he left, she cried so hard. She was so upset that she didn't get to say 'goodbye' to him. We had to explain to her that that was why he was waving because he couldn't say bye to every single person there. We took her down to the podium, where they speak from and she felt a little bit better. I have to admit, we never wanted to live in Utah but I am so grateful for these moments that our girls are learning the gospel in ways they couldn't if we didn't live here. I am so grateful for the spirit that the girls felt today and the experience that they will always remember.

No Training Wheels

Papi took the training wheels off Isabel's bike and she was doing great. A little bit more practice and she'll be riding like the crazy little thing that she is.
After Isabel was done riding her bike Papi played with Lili. She is such a happy baby. She is always happy and she loves to smile. But she really loves playing and talking to her Papi.

Playing in the rain

It has been raining a lot lately, and Gaby's soccer game was cancelled because it was raining. So her and Isabel went to play in the rain. Except Isabel didn't last long enough for me to go get the camera and take photos. She was already coming in when I grabbed the camera. But Gaby wasn't cold. She loved it. She was dancing and singing in the rain, then jumping in the puddles, but then her feet got wet and she was done. hahaha

Gaby's 1st Field Trip

Gaby went on her first field trip last week. She went to the zoo. It was also her first time on a school bus. Despite getting " a little bit lost" as she says, she had a blast. She felt like such a big girl. I can't believe how big she is getting.
