7 weeks

I wanted to give you an up-date on the baby status. When we first found out we were pregnant I made a doctor's appt due to all the miscarriage I have had. The doctor first said he want to do some blood work and then 2 days later draw some more blood to check my HCG levels. On Tuesday I called the doctors office and his nurse said the levels of HCH had gone up but he wanted to do an ultrasound. On Wednesday we went in for the ultrasound and got a cute picture of the baby (It looks more like a tooth than a baby!) On Thursday the nurse called and said that the baby is measuring very small for being 6 weeks and the heart rate is low. The doctor  recommended that in another week we get another ultrasound and then measure again to see if the baby is growing. I feel it is a good sign that we haven't lost it this fare along and my baby's always measure small on the ultrasound. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it all works out in the end! I will keep you posted!

Mother's Day

This year for mother's Day we had a big surprise for my mom and for Marcos' Mom! A few weeks ago we found out I am prego! I am excited and a little scared all in one! Excited that I will be staying home and not have to go back to work for ..well for at least awhile. But a little nervous about having a new little one on my own. Marcos may be able to come home for the birth but I am trying to keep in mind that it is not a for sure thing! We are due December 31 2010. Not sure if I would choose that day again if I had to but at least it won't be another July Baby! Hope you ladies had wonderful mother's and take a few moments to enjoy the small things!

For

Easter

I know It has been a good month ago but things have been crazy around here with all of our life changes. I was very excited for easter until I found out that Marcos would have to work that day. With him just getting back from Virginia and then go back to work on Easter I wasn't a happy little wife. So he went in at 3 am and the soonest I hope to have him home was around 1 in the afternoon. Then at 6:30 in the morning I heard our bedroom door open and I sat up wondering who had just walked in to our bedroom. Then I noticed it was Marcos. He said his boss had come in early to cover him so he could go home with his family. I was excited to say the least.

After we had our easter egg hunt we got ready and went to my parents house where my had a easter egg hunt ready for the grandkids. Because It was so cold that day they moved the easter hunt to there basement. We had a great Easter and we pray you all had a wonderful easter weekend!

Daddy Comes Home

On March 5 th Marcos left and was sent to Virginia to change his MOS or in other terms his job with the military. His Unit sent him to Virgina to train to do supply during his deployment to Iraq. During his month long training I did a lot of thinking of how things are going to be for me while he will be deployed. Last time he was gone to basic training it was very hard for me. Having never been apart more than a few days, and with my job, keeping up the yard, the house, the laundry and etc. With Yasmin now in school and Kenadie a little older I thought this will be easier than last time. With my new position at work and the stress of Yasmin doing homework I stopped to think and pray about how we could make it work when Marcos leaves again for Iraq. The only answer I could come up with was to quit my job and be home with the girls. But knowing that Marcos' job is not enough to pay the bills I didn't not feel that to be the answer. The week before Marcos came home from Virginia I was was thinking and praying still on how this could work out. Then it came to me... we could rent out the house and I could get an apartment and we could afford to live there on his income and I could stay home with the girls. That night when Marcos called me I explained to him my feeling and he suggested that moving back in with my parents while he was gone could also be an option so I wouldn't feel so alone. We haven't worked out all the little details yet but I feel so excited that I will be able to stay home with my girls. I feel that maybe time will go faster for us and maybe I won't be as stressed out and the girls and I can enjoy our girl time together. The girls have missed daddy so much over the last month I can't imagine how much they are going to change in the next year. We are so glad he is come for a few more month!

Daddy hugging the girls for the first time in a month

Another great day at Disney! The coolest thing we did that I was mad I didn't get pictures of was at 4:30 pm at the front of the park in Disneyland they do a flag ceremony. During the flag ceremony they take the flag down but they call all the past and present military members to step forward as they called their branch of service. It was so amazing that I started to cry as we sang the national anthem. It was so worth the time if you ever go, it was so amazing. We saw some of the princesses today as well Kenadie loved them all excepted Pocahontas. I asked Kenadie to go stand by her so we could take a picture. So she walked up to her and growled and walked away. I was so shocked. Sometimes I never know what she is going to do!

Day 1 in Disneyland

I know it has been forever since I have posted. Time is always short but I guess I wondered if anyone was reading it.when my mom asked if I was still blogging. I also went to a to my old home ward in T-ville and had a few that asked me about. And for nothing else for the girls. I found out that you can print them out and do scrap booking with the posts. Anyway We took our last vacation for a long time well until Marcos gets back from Iraq we had thought about going to Disneyland just before Christmas and my mom said for our next year for Christmas she would pay to go on a Cruise with them. I never turn down a vacation. So were able to fly to California 3 days before the cruise left to use up our Disney tickets. If anyone is thinking about going to Disneyland January was a great time to go. the most we waited in line was 15 mins for a ride. And the weather wasn't too bad either. We had so much fun. Here are a few pics of our first day in Disneyland!

At the end of the night the girls wanted to see Mickey. They were doing a light parade so I really didn't think he would be there. As we walked through the houses we came to a room where a guy asked if we came to see mickey. I said yes if he is here. We didn't even wait he took us right in and no one else was in line so they told us we could stay. we stayed for about 20 mins with him but Kenadie was so cute she ran right in and said I love you mickey and hugged him!!
SO surprised that Kenadie was so excited to see these guys!!
Kenadie with pooh !

Be happy we are at disneyland!! I

Hawaii Trip

It has been awhile since I have up-dated the blog. Life has been so busy with Marcos parents staying with us for the last 3 months and then just before General conference one of my mission comp from Chile came to see conference and stayed for 1 month during this time we had planed our Hawaii trip so she stayed and watched our house and visited some other friends. It was so nice to get away and be just the 4 of us. Well we stayed with my parents at their time share which was nice. We rented a car and took off for the beach!

We had a little delay in planes when we missed our flight to Kona due to another plane having to go back to SLC for an emergency landing. So we took the open flight Maui and stayed there for a night and we found a hotel before we took a 20 min flight to Kona. This was Kenadie in the Hotel reading a book.

Kenadie woke up in the middle of the night so guess who took her...Yep it was Grandma so in the moring Kenadie was ready to go and Grandma was still tired.
