Water Park

Summer has finally arrived, Yeah!!! Jeff and I decided to take Nathan to the water park this morning. There were lots of kids there for Nathan to play with. At first he wasnt too excited about the cold water but then he didn't care. He didn't like the slide because he said there was too much water. Jeff wasn't prepared to get wet at all but Nathan insisted for him to go and play with the water, so like a good parent he went and got wet as well. We are so excited about all the different activities that we are able to do now. We have made more friends this year and hope to make more!

New Room Decor

Nathan has finally outgrown his crib, so finally we decided to give Nathan a big boys bed. We were not very excited about this because we weren't sure how we were going to keep him on his bed without going to grab toys or more books than necessary. So, much to our dispair we finally bought him a twin bed. I know I'm barely posting this but it has been over two months now that Nathan sleeps in the twin and he loves it. Of course we came up with the theme of CARS, because Nathan just loves McQueen. As you can see from the pictures Nathan loves to pose and show all his cool stuff (that's what he thinks anyways). Enjoy!

Did I mention he loves Elmo, Tigger and CARS

Finally a good night rest, this turned out to be a pretty good picture since it was very dark in his room.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! Nathan and I had lots of fun today. We went out for a walk in the morning then went to my 2-3pm class. When I got back we decided to go to the Library. It was lots of fun. Nathan was amazed at all the books and started grabbing as many books as he could. Then he found the computers and started doing the activities they had. It was so fun to watch him know what to do. He is so smart! (not just because he's my son, ha ha) Of course I had to dress him up with the Mexican Soccer team shirt. Vamos Mexico! He loves this shirt because he knows that Grandpa Sanchez gave it to him.

Better late than never

I'm still alive! I just haven't found the time to sit down and write stuff. School has started once again. I'm doing my practicum which is going to an elementary school and staying there twice a week all day. It's very rewarding to see the children understand a concept and smile about it. It's a bit hard because it's still not my classroom and I can't make my own decisions but I guess I will have enough time for that. So, after finishing this practicum I will do my Student Teaching in the fall. Nathan is becoming a big boy now. I love him sooooooo much. He truly is the love of my life. He makes me laugh, cry and even get angry sometimes all at the same time. But he is my best little friend he means the world to me. Jeff is also wonderful he is taking 14.5 credits and is also working full time. He is a great husband and wonderful father. I love him! Well I think I'm going to leave you guys here but I promise I will put more pictures up as soon as I can.

Fun in Mexico

These are only some of hundreds of pictures that I ended up from our trip down to Mexico. I enjoyed every minute that I spent down there. I am grateful for my family and for all the love that they have for my son. I am truly blessed to have such a big, caring and loving family. I love you all very much!!!!! Besos y abrazos a todos!!

Most of you know that I went to Mexico this past summer. Yes I did spend three months down there. Since I wasn't going to attend school and Jeff was going to go to school in the morning and work at night, we came to an agreement that it was ok for me to go and visit my family. It was the best thing I could have done. We did soooo many things. I put Nathan in a preschool where he learned social skills and interacted more with children of his age. He would wear a school uniform and would take his lunchbag with him. Since we did arrive in Mexico around may/june the children only had about a month and a half of school left so they had a little dance festival to end the school year. Nathan wasn't too happy about that but at least he was able to move one leg.


This is Fernanda, Nathan's favorite Aunt.

Nathan did a lot of crazy things on his own, like horseback ridding and ridding a four wheeler.

Yeap, he got a black eye. He was playing around in one of my aunts house and pulled the t.v. and well you can see what happened. Ouch!

Yee-haa!!

Grandma and Nathan best friends

New Years

I don't have our Christmas pictures right now, so I decided to post New Years pictures. We spend our New Years with my parents and my mom's sister along with her family. It was great. We had a huge dinner and then went out to break the pinata. Nathan loves pinatas not because he gets to hit them (he was actually scared) but because he got candy out of them.

Well for the Christmas break we headed out to Mexico. It was awesome!! Nathan and Jeff and of course I had a blast. We went to an Amusement park called "Feria de Chapultepec" Nathan spent most of his day on the kiddy rides. Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Victor took him everywhere. Jeff and I hung out with two of my cousins.
