No More Diapers!

I have had SIX LONG YEARS of changing diapers and I think I can FINALLY stop buying them!!! My worst point was after the girls were born and ALL FOUR of my babies were in diapers! Four months later Riley was potty trained and it made a difference in the amount I had to buy...even better when Tyler was potty trained because he loves to drink juice. So last month as my diapers were depleting I told the girls they were going to wear underwear during the day. I admit it didn't go well at first, but they kept doing better. Then last night the girls slept through the night with underwear and no accidents! I am so excited to be done with diapers. No more rushing to the store for diapers, less trips outside to get rid of smelly diapers and more money in my pocket!

New Photos Posted

I have posted our new family photo and new photos of the kids. We love how they turned out. Thank you to my friend Vanessa for getting great shots of my kids. My girls were great at sitting and being pretty. Unlike my boys that just wanted to run around. They are crazy little boys, but they are mine and I love them!

Family Photos

We finally got our new family photos taken on Friday. They were long overdue. The last time we did them was the end of August 2011. The girls were about to turn one year. The girls just turned three years old earlier this month. All the kids have grown a lot and were looking forward to having the new photos in our home. I will update all our photos soon!

School Begins

  It has been a very busy week for me. Riley started Kindergarten at Mount Mahogany on Tuesday and rides the bus to school. He has been so excited and he loves his new teacher Mrs. Spaulding. He met a new buddy at the bus stop and they sit together each day. Riley even raised his hand the other day when he wanted to talk to me. Which made both of us laugh. He has been learning the class rules. Tyler started Preschool on Wednesday. He kept telling me that he would miss me. This is the first time he will be away from Mommy. But he did really well and he had a lot of fun. His teachers are Miss Julie and Miss Brittany. He was excited because he already knows those names (My sister Julie and Sister-In-Law Britani) The boys tell me each day that they missed me and give me these wonderful, long, tight hugs. That  I love receiving. I'm sure the boys will continue to have fun and make new friends.
  I asked the girls what we would do when the boys left for school. "Party, Party, Party!!" We had a fun filled day yesterday and have nail polish so we can hang out and do girl stuff together. I am excited to spend more time with my two girls while the boys are gone. The girls miss the boys hugging them when we pick them up or get off the bus. I love my children!

The latest picture of my kids, Kyra, Riley, Tyler and Hailey. We have been enjoying the pool and splash pad on these hot summer days.

Updating...

  I have not been on here for a long time and I a ton of changes to make. Hopefully I can get everything updated soon!
  As many of you know I am divorcing Sergio. There are some actions that are simply unforgivable. I have had a very hard year. Trying to explain to the kids why Daddy doesn't live with us anymore. Filing for divorce with the court and turning in all the paperwork. Getting our lives in order and our home.
 The kids know that Daddy lies to them and doesn't spend much time with them, which is the saddest part of this whole thing. The kids always say we are a family of five. Four kids and One Mommy. We have had a fun summer doing new activities and I am always looking ahead for others. Right now it's hard fighting for child support, a vehicle and making the right decisions for my four young children, but I know our lives will be better without him in our home.
  Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me and my children with hugs, talking with us, spending time with them and all the prayers. I know it has all helped me and my family.

Our Family

October 16, 2010
A much needed family picture. Riley just
turned 3, Tyler is 16 months, and Hailey
& Kyra are 5 weeks.

Our new additions finally arrived!

Our twin girls Hailey and Kyra arrived in September and have added much joy to our little family...maybe not so little anymore. It feels like I have four babies now. With Riley just turning three and Tyler 16 months I never seem to have enough hands or eyes. I stay pretty busy all day with the four of them and then at night with the girls. We had to get a minivan and it is full of car seats it is so weird. The boys adore the girls and are always giving them kisses and hugs. Riley can even tell the difference between the two...they are identical.

Update

So it has been a very long time since I have been on my blog. I have been very busy and don't get on the computer much. Our biggest news is that we are expecting twin girls soon. I am currently going to one to three appointments each week!! Plus preparing for the girls arrival and trying to keep up with Riley and Tyler. Tyler turned one in June. He is walking, talking, imitating others, whistles and climbing furniture...keping up with Riley. Sergio & I just celebrated our 4 year anniversary two days ago. The girls should arrive in august or september. Then Riley will turn three in October. I've been worrying about how I am supposed to get 4 babies to the doctors office when I onlt have two hands...that should be an interesting challenge. So I will have two toddlers and rwo infants which will keep me very busy, but we are very excited for the girls arrival!!

TWINS!!!!

So we are expecting twins! We will find out if we are having boys, girls or both in just two weeks. We are trying to prepare for the big change in our family as we are still getting over the shock of our lives. Since neither of our families have twins. Sergio and I are hoping for girls since we already have two boys. We'll have to wait and see how the boys react to two new babies. They will arrive this fall.

Tyler's Blessing

We had Tyler's blessing yesterday. With the temple dedication and stake conference we had scheduling issues so we just did it at our home with family and friends. Matt gave Tyler a beautiful blessing. Afterwards Sergio made Carne Asada, Pico de Gallo and Salsa for the whole family. Which we all loved.

Riley's Shoes

Riley likes to help Mommy by putting his shoes on. When he came to me like this I had to snap a picture of it to show Daddy.

Riley, Nene and Benito

I pulled out Riley's froggy pool which he loves it sprays up in the front and he is drinking from it ib the first picture. He loves his cousins Nene and Benito. Nene is the only name he says (besides Mommy, Daddy and baby) He would go to their house and play with them and they would spoil him. I took a few pictures of the three of them when they stopped by while we were out playing in the pool. They left the next day to return to Mexico. Riley misses them so much and loves looking at the pictures.

Photos of Tyler

So I finally got some pictures of Tyler posted, sorry it took so long. He is such a sweet little boy and we love the new addition to our family.
