A fun Wednesday

Today was my flex day (I was off for working this past Saturday) so, I got to do several things that I normally don't do during the day.

My day went something like this, first, I volunteered to help in Nursery for Continuing Education, when Braiden and I got to Church, only Sister Norris was there with very few kids (actually, her own two - Christy & James) and two other ones (a little boy by the name of Gavin and this other girl that was in Nursery in and out). Sister Norris and I had a good time chatting while the few kids we had enjoyed them selves playing.

I felt so good to have an opportunity for service.

After church, I met Danni for lunch at Chick-fil-A, we had lunch with Braiden, Spencer, Elle and Lily (Elle's neighbor). We had a great conversation over lunch and the kids enjoying playing in the playland. Braiden was so excited to spend some time with Pencey..

It was a great lunch with amazing company!!

Then we went home and took Daddy and Curly with us to the Park. We went to the one by the old stake center, Bayou Gulch, even though is farther than O'Brien we love going to that park because is never busy and literally Braiden can have the park to him self. Another advantage is that Curly can be running around without his leash so, they both get a lot of freedom.

I had a wonderful day off, I really enjoyed being able to do so many things I don't normally do during my regular work hours :)

Which one is next?

Love playing with the sand

A creative way to go up the slide

Wow, great job Braiden!!

This is what he did at Chick-fil-A

I see you Mommy

SDSU vs Air Force

We went to the game as a family, it was actually my first SDSU game, I never attended one when I was going to college. Obviously I was cheering for the Aztecs!

We didn't stay until the end of the game as it was a week day and the game was going to end late so, we left at the beginning of the 3rd quarter to be able to bit traffic and get home not as late to be able to get up very early the next day.

It was great to see the final score 41-27.

Go Aztecs!!

Braiden trying to see better...

Yes, a little bit of snow

I heard that it was going to rain but, we woke up to snow (the first of the season) so, it made a nice stay at home day.

We had such a relaxing Saturday enjoying our home and our family. We watched movies, played with Braiden and Curly, in summary we just hang out around the house.

Blue hair

It was time for a hair cut again (it had been about 2 and a half months since Braiden's last hair cut) and good thing we have figured out the secret for Braiden to do really well, both daddy and him have to sit next to each other. He did wonderful, he was so excited with his Woody (Toy Story) cape and towards the end he was having a good conversation with the hair stylist, he was telling her his name, counting the numbers and the colors, the last color that he mentioned was blue and next thing I knew his hair was blue, she had sprayed his hair with some blue spray. I thought it was really creative and appreciated the fact that she wanted to make it a pleasant experience for Braiden.

Blue is not our favorite color but, after all it matched his shirt....

Mama Alvino's

We were all hungry so, after the hair cuts, we decided to meet at Mama Alvino's for dinner. We love going to that pizzeria, they have delicious pizza & calzones that is worth the drive to Aurora.

Braiden was happy to have dinner out with the family, he was excited that Gaby and Yesi were there. We had a really good family time and enjoyed delicious dinner!!

Braiden ate everything, good job Braiden :)

Good old friends

The 4 of us used to work together at my previous job and currently 3 of us work together again (the only one missing right now is my sister in-law Dora). Carlos birthday was going to be on Monday so we decided it would be a good reason to get together to remember the good old times and celebrate with him so, we planned to go to Chili's for dinner, we were expecting 3 other people but we sure had fun with only the 4 of us.

Happy birthday to our dear friend Carlos!!

We will have to do it again next month for Erica's birthday..

The birthday boy!!

My good friend for 7 years now (wow time flies)

The 2 amigas :)

Los Macias (they both have the same last name)

Halloween Preview

As the month started, I decided to get out my Halloween decorations, to my surprise, I didn't have many but, I found the costumes that I bought last year after Halloween was over, I thought a Pirate theme for the three of us would be cute, I had their costumes so I just need to buy one for my self.

This is kind of what I wanted for this year..
