More Pics of the Party in El Paso

This is my sweet Grandpa Hector with my girls!
These pictures are dark and need some editing but we had so much fun, I just had to post. Hailey and my cousin's kid Megan. They danced and danced and danced, and then fell fast asleep.

My Family has Grown

Last week my brother Sam and his beautiful bride were married in the Albuquerque, New Mexico temple. I traveled with my girls to go see this beautiful couple married.
The reception was in El Paso, Texas. It was a traditional Latin Wedding Reception with dancing until the early morning hours. We had so much fun! The girls danced and danced and then slept for a long time the next day.

Sam and Vanessa

Their wedding day was so beautiful. It was awesome having us all be together for such a great day!

Slip N' Slide

The good old Slip N' Slide. This is one of my favorite summer past times, so we had to re-live it this summer. Hailey and Mia played on this Slip N' Slide for hours this summer. I even played on it- good thing there are no pictures of that:)

Dad-You were wrong.

Hailey: Dad, did you know something you told me was wrong.
Bub: What was that Hailey?
Hailey: Once I had a stuffy nose, and you told me to cover one nose hole up and blow into the tissue and my boogers would come out. And I did it. Then I felt pop-pop-pop. The boogers went from my nose to my EARS!

Bub and I were laughing so hard when Hailey was telling us this-this girl just cracks me up.

Paparazzi-So Exciting!

I LOVE Paparazzi Accessories. They are so cute and fun and the best part is all items are only $5 each. Most necklaces come with earrings and it is still only $5 for the set. I was at Cedar Hills Days this summer when I first saw Paparazzi and LOVED it so I decided to join. I have to say it feels like Christmas every time I place a order and get new jewelry or hair accessories. I am loving it!!! These accessories makes a perfect give for any occasion or whenever you feel like you deserve to give yourself a reward for all that you do. If anyone is interested in seeing what I have, just let me know. If you want to have a party or get together with some friends, you can free jewelry too.

What a Blast

We did so many fun things this summer in Utah. These pictures are from Cedar Hills Days-so much fun. The girls did not want to get their faces washed for a long long time.


At the Highland City water park.
My parents had a full home this summer. The girls and I were there for6 weeks . Bub showed up for a few weeks. Both of my brothers were at home and my sister was home from college. It was party time! We stayed up past midnight every night. We had so much fun. Liza and I even got into Zumba-so fun!!!
We went to so many parades this summer in Utah-the girls loved it! My Mom got the girls some "little people" lawn chairs and the girls loved them they sat down for most of the parade just waiting for the treats to fall into their laps.

Fun times at the Wilson Home
These girls love to be silly and when they are together, they are extra silly.

Till We Meet Again!

My sweet Grandma Teresa is the sweetest lady I have ever known. We were never great at talking with each other because I was never good at speaking Spanish. Our language barrier never got in the way of my Grandma Teresa letting me know that she loved me. Although we were only able to see each other a few times, she left a lasting impression on me on how you should love someone. My sweet Grandma passed away this last week. I have been thinking about the last time I saw my Grandma; it was on my wedding day. My grandparent's made the trip from Mexico to come and be at my wedding. It was great to have my grandma clasp my hands between hers, and give them a kiss and tell me that she loved me, (of course my Grandpa Hector does the same.) That I always knew and will know forever. I have no doubts that she was a great Mom as well, because my Mom has turned out pretty amazing herself. I Love You Grandma, and I am happy to know, I will see you again some day-and maybe at that time, we will be speaking the same language.

Dad's are the best!

To all you men out there who are Dad's-Happy Father's Day!

Now about my Dad. Dad, you are the greatest. I could go on and on about you and all the fun times we have had, and all the great things that you have taught me. I decided thought that I would focus on my very favorite thing about you. I remember being little and whenever I was sad, got hurt, or really happy; you would give me a hug. Your hugs meant told me that you loved me, that you would be there for me, and that you are happy to be my Dad. Today, your hugs are still my favorite thing about you. Thanks for always being there for me. I LOVE YOU!

I feel so lucky to have such a great Dad, and feel so blessed that my girls have an awesome Dad as well. Hailey and Mia adore their Dad, they wrestle, play soccer, and their favorite thing to do is to cuddle with him. Bub has arms that hold our girls safe and secure and they love it. Bub, thanks for being such a good Dad to our girls. Happy Father's Day!

Graduation

Hailey is no longer in Kindergarten-today she graduated. She was so excited for this day, now she is a 1st grader:(
Bub looked over at me and said, "How did we get here, we have a kid in grade school." It is pretty crazy. I feel like Hailey went from 3 years straight to 6 years old.

Mia wanted in on some of the yummy cupcakes and Hailey was good to share. Hailey we are so proud of all the work you did this year in school. You are a great girl and super smart. Thanks for listening to your teachers and getting a green card every day the whole school year-good work girl!

Girls just want to have fun!

I had a birthday too- turn out the mom's that brought their kids to Mia's party are my friends too. So glad I got to spend time with all of you!

Birthday Girl!

We had a small get together with some of Mia's friends for her 2nd Birthday.

We had some yummy ice cream, cupcakes, and cake pops. The kids were in heaven!
Me and my girls!
Say, "CHEESE"
I can't believe Mia is 2, she has grown up into a toddler really fast. She is 36 inches tall and 30 lbs.
I attempted to make some yummy cake pops. It took a lot of work but it was really fun, the girls got to help me decorate them and eat them of course.

This is a picture of a pinata that Hailey made for Mia's birthday. We had no idea she made this-it was a surprise for us all. Turns out it was filled with gold fish and fruit loops.

Happy Birthday Mia Girl-We Love YOU!!!
