Home School

We are doing home school and we really like it.
I have over 150 lesson plans. Yesterday we did 3 of them and they were fun and Sofia learned new things.
Home school is a perfect way to spend quality time with my daughter.
Sofia will start kindergarten in one year.
Doing home school will help determine what her strengths and weaknesses are and that way I can help her be as prepared as she can be.
Oh Sofia, I have so much fun with you!
You are the BEST!!!



So in this picture Sofia is very sad because she had to put ice cream and candy on the "Bad for your teeth" side. She kept saying candy is good for my teeth, specially kit kat.

These are the months of the year!

Today at CHANDLER MALL

Sofia loves going to the mall.
Her favorite store is "The Disney Store."
She loves the mall because she gets to go shopping, eat ice cream, see some friends, and oh yeah she loves the mall because she gets to ride a train.
Today, Sofia was more excited about the train.
Jessica and Miguel were with us.
Sofia was so EXCITED to see her uncle at the mall while she was riding the train.
Here's the video

Sofia loves to make me laugh




She Sleeps Like a Princess

I had to take these pictures because I love the way she looks.
She looks so relaxed and comfortable.
Oh, Sofia I think you are just beautiful, even when you're asleep.



SMF- Summer Movie Fun!!


The name says it all.
Summer Movie Fun!!!
You get to go to the movies with your friends/cousins and have FUN!!
This is our second year doing SMF and Sofia loves it.
I love it too.
It gives me something to do while spending quality time with my gorgeous Sofia, my beautiful niece's, handsome Brayden, and of course my s.i.l.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy.



Pose pose pose!
And after the movie Sofia did a mini play of Annie, here she's singing "I Don't Need Anything But You."
She keeps performing....
And now she's done.
With Aunt Jessica (:

Goodbye 21, Hello 22!!

Today is my birthday. I'm officially 22. It sounds weird, but not old.
21 was a very good year for me. Many great things happened.
Here's my top 5
5. Brian and I went to Vegas in August. It was our first time in Vegas and "a second honeymoon." Unfortunately we got in a car accident.
4.Celebrated our 2 year anniversary. YAY!!!
3. I went to Ecuador, that's in South America.
2. My handsome husband graduated! Which makes me a proud wife :)
1. We became home owners!!! {happy dance}

The worse thing that happened to me in my 21st year was losing my grandpa :(
When I was a little girl I used to think Grandparents lived forever, and they do.
Maybe not physically but spiritually.

I know that "22" will bring me new adventures and many great blessings.
I am looking forward to this year, and here are the top 5 things I want to accomplish.
1. Be a better wife and mom.
2. Do super awesome in school.
3. Help the Y.W. finish their Personal Progress
4. Read more books
5. Not brake any phones.

And there's a lot more, but I can't share them.. Well at least not yet.

We love the PARK!!


We go to the park almost every day. Brian plays basketball, I try doing boot camp with some ladies, and Sofia loves to play.

She's getting good with the Monkey Bars. She used to be scared because she had a "traumatizing" experience at school. Sofia left her fear behind and now she just wants to do the Monkey Bars.
