Good Job Arrie

Arrie finished her school play this weekend. She did very well even with waking up on Saturday with a sore throat. She said it was really painful to sing that night but she still sounded great and we had lots of people come up to us and tell us how good she was. She put in a lot of work and it paid off. It turned out to be a really cute play.

Who doen't love FREE!

My sister Frances did this on her blog and I thought it sounded fun.

Free gift for whoever wants it!!
Here's how it works-the first 5 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well-before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 5 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick! This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. It'll be done this year (hopefully sooner than later.)
3. You will have no clue what it is going to be.
4. What I make, may be strange.Who knows!

Time to play!

The time has come for Arrie's school play. After months of hard work and practice the waiting is over. Arrie is one of the leads this year. Her play will be Friday and Saturday at 6:30 pm at Dixon middle school.

Break a leg Arrie!

The weekend of Love

It was a fun Valentines weekend. I got to go and help in Aaron's school class. It is always fun to see the kids with their classmates. On Friday night Robert and I went to dinner and a movie because we didn't have a chance to go out on Thursday for our anniversary. We had decided not to get each other any presents but he cheated. My diamond fell out of my wedding ring about six months ago so he got me a new one. It is a princess cut and I really do like it in my setting.

On Saturday we went out to dinner with some friends for Valentines. We had chosen a restaurant we all liked and went over about 6:00 pm. Well they already had an hour and a half wait and we were hungry so we went to the Marriott and ate at the restaurant in the hotel. We went there last year and the food is really good and best of all there was no wait.

After a good dinner we went to check out the adult stake dance our stake was having. It was actually really fun. They had a live band and we meet up with a bunch of our friends in our ward an other wards. It was funner than any stake dance I went to as a kid so that was worth it.

After the dance a couple of friends came over and got in our hot tub. We ended up talking and laughing until 1:00 am. It's great to have friends we can just hang out with and have a good time.

Fifteen years and counting...

Fifteen years ago on a very cold February day I married my eternal companion. It started me down a road that hasn't always been smooth but has always been worth it. The choice I made to get married so young (I was only 19) may not have been what everyone agreed with but it has been right for me. Robert is still the one who balances me. I have learned so much about myself because he is in my life. I have loved watching him learn and grow and become a better man, loving father and devoted husband. I love you Robert!

This is just a little shout out to Grandma Hernandez, Cyndie, and Ashley Happy Birthday Thanks for sharing your day with me 15 years ago.

What a week

What a week we have had at our house. Well I promised to post more about my niece Jessica's wedding that we went to on Jan. 30th. It was beautiful. We went to Sacramento on Wednesday and the weather was so nice. It felt like spring. We got to stay at my brother in laws house who lives there and have a nice little visit. My sister in law found the wedding video from when I got married 15 years ago. She, Arrie and I watched it together one night and it was so crazy seeing how much everyone has grown. All the little kids are now so grown up and some are married and have kids of there own.

On Friday we went to the Sacramento Temple to be at the sealing. The temple is small but very pretty. We took the kids a few years ago to walk through the open house before it was dedicated. It was of course a lovely ceremony. My new nephew (Keith) was just baptized a year ago so he is the only member in his family so It was a small group. Keith's family was waiting in the waiting room when we were done and we got to meet them for the first time. They are very nice and have been so supportive of Keith in his decision to join the church.

We went to the reception with te kids that night and Keith and Jessica had a ring ceremony there since his family could not be apart of the wedding. I have to admit Jessica's older sister has some of the cutest little flower girls I have ever seen.
At the end of the night Aaron caught the guarder and my nieces daughter Morgan caught the bouquet. It was a wonderful night to celebrate the commitment of Keith and Jessica. They waited a long time for this and worked hard so they could do it right. We are so proud of you both and hope you have a life filled with all the love and joy you deserve. Welcome to the family Keith.

After a fun trip to California we of course came home to the Super Bowl party at our house. I didn't get any pictures but we had a good time and good food.

Well, my niece Amanda has been planning on getting married on Feb. 25th but she surprised us on Tuesday and said she was going to get married on Wednesday afternoon at the courthouse. Well then at work on Wednesday I got a call and she decided to get married at the church at 6 instead. So we meet her and got to be apart of her wedding on Wednesday night. Then we went to Red Lobster to celebrate. She is so happy and we are happy for her. Welcome to the family Scott.

On Saturday we had a birthday party for grandma at our house. A few of her friends came over and the family. It was nice. The fun part of the night was after everyone left we played pop five with our kids and our niece, our nephew, his girlfriend and his best friend. We laughed so hard all night. We ended staying up until midnight playing. Now that is a fun game. We just need to get started before 10 so we don't stay up so late.

I would have posted sooner but our computer was out getting fixed.

Still Here

I'm still here. Life as always has been busy. We just got home from California. Our niece got married on Friday. I'll post more latter.
We got home on Sunday just in time for our annual Super-bowl party. It was a lot of fun and we had tons of good food. After being gone all weekend it was a little crazy but it was so worth having everyone over and enjoying a really good football game with them.
