Tio Devin and Tia Lashell!!

Devin Ti dwell is the missionary who baptized my husband almost 4 years ago. He live in Provo and we are sooooooo thankful for his friendship. He is married now and have a beautiful baby boy, Asher.

They visited us last night and we had supper together. They are so sweet, we love them. The kids call them "Tio Devin and Tia Lashell" and "primo Asher".

Thanks Davin and Lashell we love to spend time with you and you guys are a blessing in our life!

LOVE YOU!

The kids love them so much that when they left Chris cried for half an hour.

Hermanitos!!!!

It was so great to see Rand and Chris being brothers and take care of their sister and specially it was amazing see them as uncles!! My Father in law Victor was so happy to see his kids together and to have 3 of his 4 grandchildren here in his lap watching TV! That meant the world for him

Stephen is such a sweet boy and so polite and smart!!! WOW seriously! GOOD JOB Kari and Randy!

Lil' Chris learned so much from him and I learned a lot too from Kari!

Thanks Mona!

VEGAS BABY!!!!

We needed to bring Kari to Vegas of course!! Now we had a perfect excuse to go plus we really needed vacations.
We decided to spend three days there but we had so much fun that ended up staying one more day!
I did some research online about what hotel we should stayed and I found this wonderful hotel new on the area and with really really good reviews from previews guests: South Point Hotel. Well I was afraid that we were going to get there and find something completely different of the pictures of their website....SURPRISE...... it was even better! We loved it! The rooms were huge(500 sf) and everything so fancy and new (the rooms also) they have Bath and Body Works Toiletries an awesome view from our room and great pool and jacuzzi.The casino amazing and the buffet even better. But what was the best part??? The price. Incredibly affordable for the luxury you get.

view from our room

We had a lot of fun... everything there is amazing; the pirates show at the TI, the lions at the MGM, the volcano explosion at the Mirage and my favorite: The fountain show at the Bellagio. and many other places that we visited. There are so many things to do... in four days we didn't finish all we had planned.

The kids loved the pool and the weather were perfect.

This was one of my favorite vacations and I'm sure the kids will remember it forever!

I just wish we had taken better pictures! But anyway we'll visit again!

Karina's Visit

Chris' sister came to visit us from Canada, what a blast!!! She came with her son Stephen who is 7 ( he'll be 8 in a couple of weeks). I love Karina she is one of the funniest persons I've known and she is a wonderful mother and a great wife, I really admire her so much!

The kids had being counting the days and literally crossing the days on the calendar.
Randy ( Karina's husband) drove from Kingston to Syracuse, NY and there Kari and Stephen flew to Salt Lake.Unfortunately Randy couldn't come with them, but I'm sure next time he'll come over. That was a long trip, they got here around 10 a.m a great time to spend the day together updating each family with the latest news.

We were super exited; but my Father in law was completely emotional, they hadn't see each other for 3 years.
Here are some pics from the moment we pick them up at the airport.

Chris' Awie!

Monday night we were ready to take the kid to bed.. We aske the kids to go upstairs to brush their teeth and pray and my poor little booger run through the livingroom and stumble rigth next to the couch falling and bumping his head ( HARD) on the bottom part of the couch wich is made of wood, He hit his head so hard that he started to throw up, Like most of you mom's know that is not a good thing after a head injury! SO we just run to the ER it was 10:15 p.m and Abby was so tired she was ready to go to bed. In that momment we tough Who can come and stay with her?? Well it was late and we did not wanted to botter our friends so, I tough maybe I'lll stay here with her and Christian will take Lil' chris to the hospital, but Chris wanted both of us with him ( he was crying so hard!!!) so we called the McDonalds and they say we could leave Abby with them.>> They are so nice ( they had helped us so much in so many ways!!! THANK YOU Cindy and Dennis).

In the ER the Doctors said that it was better to screan the brain to make sure it wasn't damaged so They did a CT Scan. Chris was so good!! Following the directions of the nurse and really quite and nice!

I was proud of him!! HAHAHA all the doctors and nurses were complimenting Chris for being a great boy!

Any way... The results of the tests were normal but they found a Sinus infection.

Chris was asking the Doctor if he could see the "Brain Pictures" and when the Doctor showed him the images Chris was all puzzle and said:"It's that my brain???_ Are those things.. all of my ideas???" He asked, and the nurse and the doctor stared to laugh!!!

We are so thankful he was fine, but we were scared! Now he is taking an antibiotic for his sinus infection But he is so SAD today cuz he wanted to go to preschool so bad!! and the Doctor said that he should stay at home for at lease 5 days!

You can see purple all around his eye and front!
