Tina in Real Life!!

I watched this movie last night and the first 15 minutes gave me a glimps of my future!! A 17 year old begging to drive, a 15 year old who thinks she is in love with her boyfriend, and a 10 year old trying to convince her Dad that she is not a baby anymore. All of them had lots of emotions and drama!! What have I gotten myself into?!?! If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend it, it is very funny, and pretty clean!! Although I am very nervous about my girls becoming teenagers, I wouldn't change anything for the world!!!! I LOVE MY GIRLS!!

Halloween!!

Wow, this Halloween was a busy one!! Monday the 27th, the local High School had a Halloween party where you could go trick-or-treat around the rooms, and they had lots of games and activities for the kids to do. Then the 29th, Sal's bosses stake had their trunk-or-treat which always has a huge turnout!! They also have games like cake walkes and tossing bean bags and so on. Then on the 31st our ward had our trunk-or-treat, which has a pretty good turn out! After that, we walked around our complex, cause you always have to knock on doors!! So needless to say, we have candy till next Halloween!! It is lots of fun though!! Ariana dressed up as a Snow Queen, Tycee was the Diamond Princess from the newest Barbie movie, and Mia and I were butterflies!! I love dressing up, maybe next year I can get Sal to dress up too!!

Mia's Blessing

Mia was blessed Sunday October 12, 2008 by Sal who did a wonderful job despite him being nervous!! We were very lucky to have most of both of our family's here with us for this very special occasion!! Her dress was made by Sal's aunt, and I made the headband so they didn't completely match, but it worked out ok anyway!!

Day at the Zoo!!

The Denver Zoo occasionally has free days, where you can go to the zoo completely free!! It gets really crowded, but it was lots of fun!! The polar bear kept swimming back and forth on his tummy and back, it was really funny to watch him. He would swim to a rock wall, climb up on it then fall on his back in the water and float for a while, then turn on his tummy and go back to the wall, and do it all again! Then the leopard had three cubs which were so cute!! There is also lots of museum like exhibits which are really fun to walk through! It is a really nice zoo and a fun way to spend a Saturday!!

Good Job!!

Ariana's school just had their quarterly awards ceremony where Ariana received three awards! The most out of anyone in her class!! She got a perfect attendance, academic achievement, which means she only got A's and B's, and a citizenship award which is only given to two kids in the class for being a good helper, following rules, and always participating in class. Good Job Ariana, We are so proud of you!!
