Our Family Name

For a while we didn't have anything with our family name. And I really wanted to get something unique . I found these letters at Archiver's and loved them.









I had this made by a crafter at Quilted Bear. Our name and the year we got married is cut out of metal and then framed in wood.






I made this one at Enrichment Night. Our name
with families are forever written in Spanish since my husband speaks Spanish.

















I also found this pretty tile.

Happy Face

I noticed that the last few posts Riley had such serious expressions so I had to share this picture of him smiling. Riley usually has a smile on his face. That's why a lot of our friends and neighbors ask me if he ever cries. He is even quiet all through church, usually falling asleep in sunday school. He is such a sweet baby.

Riley in crib

On this day I had to take some pictures because Riley got up on his knees for the first time. He is doing new things each day. It is so fun to watch him grow. We have now moved his crib mattress to the lowest position since he can almost get up to stand now.


Sergio and Riley

I thought this was such a cute picture of Sergio and Riley. Riley loves his Daddy. When Sergio comes home from work we go to the door and Riley just kicks his feet with excitement. Sergio can always get him to laugh. Sometimes he laughs so hard he gets hiccups.

Soccer


Sergio plays on three different soccer teams. So I thought I would post a few pictures. Sergio loves soccer. Sergio plays soccer, watches his friends, watches soccer on tv, and likes to go to the Real Salt Lake games. Here is a team picture of his Fantasmas team.And a few with Riley. He giggles when he gets to kick the ball.

Our Family

  • I grew up in a family of seven kids and thought that was a big family, but Sergio is the oldest of thirteen kids!
  • Sergio's birthday is on June 19 and mine is on June 20. He is one year and one day older than me.
  • After working since I was sixteen. I am now a stay-at-home Mom.
  • Last summer two of my sisters-in-law and I were all pregnant. Marina had a boy July 31. I had a boy October 8. and Ana had a girl October 28.
  • On October 8, 2007 Sergio & I were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful baby boy Riley.
  • We have an International Family! I was born in Italy, Sergiowas born in Mexico and Riley was born here in the United States.
  • I have always enjoyed reading. I am now reading Presidents & Prophets by Michael K Winder.
  • Riley and I love going on walks together around the neighborhood or through the park.
  • Sergio loves soccer. He is currently playing on three different teams. (2 outdoor and 1 indoor)
  • I love to cuddle up with Riley rock him to sleep and then just look at his precious little face. (Sergio says I spoil him, but that's my right as a Mom, isn't it?)

Fireworks

On Saturday Sergio and I put Riley in his stroller and walked over to the city center for the Orem Summerfest. There was a big parade, food, carnival rides and games. There were alot of people there celebrating. We also saw alot of our friends and neighbors. At ten o'clock the fireworks started. I was a bit worried on how Riley would react to the loud noise since we were so close, but as the fireworks started he just laughed. We all enjoyed the firework show. I'm so happy Riley enjoyed them since we'll have more in July.
