Our little breakfast bar, great for entertaining!!!
Our small beautiful kitchen, great for a relaxing night making dinner with my hubby!!
View from the living room ....
Walking to our room, notice the storage closets we now have Yay!!
Our HUGE room!!! Notice how tall the ceiling is!! We just LOVE it!!!!!!
We spent such a nice afternoon talking and laughing ... mostly watching Danny making funny faces and sounds Haha!! What a wonderful time we had!! Sometimes I wonder what did I do to deserve such amazing women in my life!! I will truly treasure that day forever!! As fun as it was, it just wasn't the same without our little sister Melanie there who was still in school at the time :( Sorry Mel, we promise we'll do one again soon hopefully tomorrow if there is time before mom and dad leave PROMISE!! 
Last Saturday we had a celebration for second time Mommy-to-be Jessica and the much anticipated birth of her new little Angel into the family!! :) We had such a great turn out!!! Nearly Everyone we invited came!! Girls were coming in almost every ten minutes and some even stayed around two hours past the Shower!! It made me so happy to see Jess having so much FUN, seeing her mingle with her Friends from high school she hadn't seen in years, Laughing and enjoying the company of all of us that LOVE and adore her!! I felt so priviledge to organized the baby shower for her; Jess is one of the most Amazing, Loving, fun, Charitable people I know!! And I'm not just saying that because she's my sister. She truly is such a remarkable person and the most loving wife to Daniel and mother to little Danny!! 
She is always there when you need her and will Always find her doing some kind of service for each member of the Family!! How many times have I found our bed made after Michael and I had a rough night studying for a hard test or writing a long essay due the next morning and hurrying up to make it to school on time (a 30 min commute from our parent's house!)!!! She is simply amazing!! And truly my Best Friend!!
I love my family so much!! I'm not gonna lie and say they weren't times when it wasn't rough for all nine of us to be living in one place, but I can say without a doubt that it has made us come even Closer as a family and have made stronger Friendships with my sisters and brother and has filled our Hearts with great memories of laughing and helping Each Other. President Gordon B. Hinckley once said: "Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." And how wonderful it is to enjoy each moment with our loved ones and know that we can be together Forever!! Life is good.
Inst he SO cute?!! I can't believe how FAST he is growing!! Here is a picture I took of his cute Little Curls! (with my mom) 
His parents took him
for his very first Trick-Or-Treating at the mall and had such a fun time!! Despite the joy of Halloween, I stayed home taking care of my poor sick hubby who came back with a HUGE migraine after work. After tucking Michael in, I decided to make the Best Out Of It ... I borrowed the costume that my mom wore at work, filled a basket full of Candy and gave it to each little boy and girl that came knocking at our door!! And you know what? I had so much FUN!!
with all the little kids (at their mothers' request Haha) with their cute little Costumes! I was so blown away with all the many Thank yous and Pleases I got from every single kid! Thank goodness for those kind and dedicated Mothers out there!! I truly admire you! I seriously cannot wait for it to be my turn!! :)
delighted when we found out his parents gave him a round trip ticket to Washington as his graduation present! Ricardo flew on an airplane for himself for the first time and managed to have an extraordinary missionary experience while on the plane! He started a casual conversation with the passenger sitting next to him and as they were talking he finds out she was Jewish and had come to Utah with her family for a visit and how amazed she was with the warm and caring hospitality of the people; people she didn't even know, she said. She had the opportunity to go around the gardens of Temple Square and had felt something different, something special. She was delighted to learn Ricardo was a Mormon and wanted to know more about the Church. Ricardo answered her questions as best as he could and was grateful for having such amazing experience! Before arriving to WA, the lady expressed how impress she was of the Church and was determined to talk to her church leader to ask him if he would allow some of the LDS members to come and teach them about our beliefs! Now isn't that wonderful!!!
