Long Time Ago

It's been a while since our last post. Of course a lot happened. As my last post said in this family we love love summer time. Brianna and I had the opportunity to go on a vacation last summer to Salt Lake City Utah, while our Stephen stayed home because he didn't have vacation days at that point.

So I remembered saying to myself that i will never fly again with Little Brianna since my trip  to Peru was so hard. But i did it again! and it was wonderful. The flight wasn't too long so that was nice, and we had nice people sitting by us that help me because I was pregnant remember, so with Brianna in my lap the baby inside wasn't too happy but we made it! 

We spent two weeks there and I must say it was two long weeks since I had to take care of my Brianna by myself 24hrs with my huge belly. The good part was we had so much fun! We got to meet some of the family there and Brianna had the time of her life with the kids there. We stayed at Janie's house. She has 6 kids and Brianna loved to play with the two youngest little girls, 

I got to visit some friends there as well. Mom Blood drove 2 days to Utah taking James who was going to college and the car for Timmy, plus the twins. 

Watching a movie

My friend Sara invited us to her daughter;s first Birthday party. Brianna had a blast

  

Playing with water outside was one of their favorite thing to do.

 

Of course she had to go to the pool right? With my friend Sara and her family

 

 

After so much fun !

My friend Sara took us to the Pioneers Day parade. Even when we missed Brianna's nap it wasn't too bad ... just had a cranky kid the rest of the day

We met with Elizabeth, Kade and Avery in Idaho, and we all went together to Yellow Stone. It was really fun, the only part is that part when you have to go back to the car and then go out again, specially because you have to buckle and unbuckle your kid a lot hahaha. We did great. Of course I started to get really tired by afternoon, my little feet were all swollen. and ...... my poor Brianna was so so tired that mom, Brianna and me went back to the hotel that wasn't close at all. It was a fun day but also a hard one.

Back in Utah we had a family reunion with lots of yummy food and lots of kids that Brianna could play. 

Met this sweet lady in Utah. Grandma Blood. We are so grateful that we could see her and spent almost a whole day with her and the family.

Visiting the Conference Center

So one of my friends there and I went to this Peruvian Restaurant and it was so yummy they even have the soda that we drink in Peru for special occasions

 Visiting Temple Square

Some more fun with the cousins.

We love summer!

 Summer is my favorite season of the year , even when I'm pregnant yes! .... and it's Brianna's favorite season too. These pictures can tell everything! she is having so much fun!

The Zoo

This was the second time we went to the zoo, the first time i was super pregnant with Brianna and it wasn't so fun, i was so tired and grumpy. This time i went there pregnant again but just with 20 weeks is a huge difference, i walked and walked without problem, except for the part that you have to use the restrooms a lot but it was so fun.

 Our little princess had so much fun. She ran excited watching the animals but she looked more excited when she saw the statues of animals, crazy! 

We were there for about 5 hours and our princess missed her nap of course but she was okay most of the time, there were some moments that she acted so tired and fuzzy. In the end she really express herself crying and falling asleep in the car, she slept almost all the way home but when she woke up she was cranky, so that day she had fun but also it was a hard day. 

She is done done done! Lets go home!

 

Stephen and Brianna on the Carrousel

Memorial Day Weekend

We decided to make a little trip since Stephen had finally one day off from work, and what a better idea the go see our family in Baltimore - Maryland. We really had a great time there, as always we ate the best food made by my wonderful sister in law Megan.

 This time the drive wasn't too bad, our little princess sleep for 2 hours both ways and she still had to stay in her car seat for 4 more hours but she did great! I couldn't believe it. She is such a good little girl.

We drove to see Jonny, Megan, Seth and Catherine on Friday afternoon and got there around 7pm which was good, just in time for dinner. The next day we took the kids to a huge playground and they sure had so much fun.

In the afternoon we went to out for dinner, it was so delicious. We ate a lot! well i did! We got to enjoy a couple hours without our crazy kids which was so nice!

Sunday was a great day too, we went to church and Brianna went to nursery there with his cousin Catherine and she did great, she loves nursery, in the end of church i asked her how was nursery and she was telling me about clapping and singing, that was her favorite part, well it's always her favorite part.  For dinner that day Jonny grilled some delicious food for us.

The three beautiful kids ready for church

The prettiest little girls

I love this picture of Seth, he is a handsome boy.

Brianna wanted a picture and she was posing of course

After church while we were waiting for Megan, the kids were playing outside.

Waiting for the food, Thank you Jonny and Megan for everything!

And the last day is when you start to feeling sad because you have to go home, it was Monday, Memorial Day, and we went to Jonny and Megan's ward breakfast , it was so good, good food, and a huge area to play, both adults and kids had fun there. After that we have to go home and said bye. I wish we can live closer and see them often.

 

 Driving is never fun, i really don't like it, but it was worth it. When we told Brianna we are finally home after all those hours she reacted like this:
