After you see this picture, I think you will better understand the reason why my daughters and dear husband wanted another pet. R2 is very attached to me and Luis didn't find it fair that this was our family pet but he had become more of my pet. So that is why we now have Coco
We would like you to meet the new member of the family. This is Coco Chanel. She is a Siamese/ Ragdoll cat. After much, extremely much convincing, we got a cat. Coco is a year old and she was in a home where she was loved loved but there was an older cat that bullied her around. The family that she was with thought that it would be best to find her a home where she would be safe and LOVED. And, I must admit, Coco has a special place in my heart. What's great about her is that she was potty trained before we got her. She loves playing with my daughters, but best of all she loves to sleep and eat.
I know Halloween was over, but knowing my daughters, they will ask me why I didn't put these pictures on the blog. So here they are, each with their own creation. It got messy and gooey but we had a blast. And I made sure I counted fingers, none were missing.
Samantha is officially 3 years old....she is so happy. Her new phrase is - "I don't need help now, I am a big girl."
I spy with my little eye a little girl who had a great day at school.. Can you see her?
Oh my little Alondra Elisa with a big smile from ear to ear. Right behind her his big sister and bodyguard Sahaily.
Another Hallmark picture...sisters holding hands and with smiles on their beautiful faces.
Alondra Elisa with some of her classmates. She is ready to conquer J.k.
Alondra Elisa with her big sister...I wish I saw more of that at home (more hugs would make the home more peaceful and mommy more happier)
We are missing dad in this picture, he was at work. But he made sure to hug and kiss her and gave his fatherly advise. Sahaily was a great though, she made sure Alondra Elisa had a memorable first day.
During the month of June, I made appointments for our daughters to get a check-up from our family doctor...She informed us that they are all healthy and also mentioned to make an appointment with the optometrist. Our wonderful doctor was a little worried for our daughter Alondra Elisa .. So appointments were made for all three. Well, to make the long story short, Alondra Elisa has an amazing eye sight as well as Samantha. To my surprise, Sahaily is near sighted. Glasses where picked out and she loves wearing them because they make her look "brainy."
On July 15, 2000 Luis and I were sealed at the Oakland, California Temple....we have had many joyful memories and we have had experiences that have helped us draw closer together for strength and support...are are looking forward for many years ahead.
Daddy wanting to take a pictures with all his little girls, but one was missing...Alondra Elisa was getting pooped out...after a very long day, she didn't want to take any more pitures
Beside "Journey behind the Falls," we had the chance of experiencing "White Water Walk," "Maid of the Mist" and "Niagara's Furry"
We walked along very long tunnels that gave us a peak behind the FALLS.. It was an exciting and beautiful view...and very surprising all the years that it took to make the tunnels....a very educational day for us all.
Oh Canada, our home and native land
A little peak for all of you, Dad received a picture of each of his daughters holding a letter that spelled "DAD"...we are pretty sure he had a great day....starting with the tradition of :
Elder Johnson, Samantha, Alondra Elisa, Sahaily and Elder Monk...we were blessed to have had these 2 wonderful missionaries serve in our little branch of Simcoe, Ontario....Elder Johnson was here for 4 months and Elder Monk was here for 6 months...2 great Elders and we wish them the best as they continue to serve the Lord... our daughters loved having over for dinners and giving them, homemade muffins, cookies and Hi-5's...but we are once again blessed to have 2 other missionaries.
We love dad so much!!!
Samantha loves to cook with mom...everyone enjoyed the homemade garlic bread sticks...Good job Sam
Don't ask me why...the weather has been just beautiful and Samantha decides to put a blanket and just to make sure it doesn't fall off- a scarf...these are the same ladies who like to play with their winter clothing during the summer time and their summer clothing during the freezing cold.
