I took photos of the cute Valentine's cards the kids made me, because I loved the bee and the sewing machine. 🥰
Arwen hanging out in the tree, suspiciously close to the bird feeder. Darn cat.
Isabel mad these for a class project.
Jubal, he KILLS me. 😂🤣😂🤣
Aww, Isabel looking beautiful and cutie Efraim.
I think I made that per Efraim's request. I can't remember if it was good or not, but it looks good anyway!
Driving home from church selfies!
And this was driving to YM/YW's. The kids all decided to wear hats after I put on my hat, so then Elena and Sebas raided my closet for hats. Silly kids.
Opening Valentine's Day packages from Aunt Amy!!! She's so kind to send us stuff😍!
I bought a new shirt.
More driving selfies. I promise I don't take pictures and drive at the same time.
We tested which type of apple we liked the best. It was fun. Too bad I forgot the names of my two favorite types.
Another new shirt. I think I got them both on clearance, but a targeted Facebook ad sucked me in. Darn things.
Definitely NOT a 90's girl. I had so many mixed tapes. This is one of them that I hung on to.
I'm a mom and a nurse, hopefully decent at both but that's debatable. I love history and family history and blogging is my way of keeping my family's history. Most of all, I love Leo (mi papacito esposo de Colombia) and Ana, Elena, Isabel, Sebastian, Nicolas, Jubal, and Efraim (mis hijos). My other passion is also dark and rico and from South America--that would be chocolate. Basically I like to eat chocolate, eat chocolate icecream, eat frozen hot chocolates from Dairy Queen, eat Peppermint Yorks, Junior Mints, and of course dark chocolate truffles. Okay, now that I've wiped the slobber off my chin from thinking about all of that, I'll get on to the rest of my blog. Oh, and I'm trying to learn Spanish but spend too much time blogging/sewing/reading/sewing instead.
"Managing a home involves much more than keeping a house clean, organized, and attractive. These skills are important...but these skills are only a means to an end. The paramount objective is to create a setting where family and friends are comfortable and happy, where there are good dinners and good times, where there is fun and laughter, where children acquire good habits and are taught life skills and how to be self-reliant and responsible, where challenges are faced by coupling temporal endeavors with eternal perspectives, where joy through gospel teaching and living prevails, where kindness and respect reign supreme, where love is strong enough to bind the family forever, and where children are nurtured toward eternal life."
--Daryl Hoole
“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.” Elder Boyd K. Packer - November 1993 Ensign

Sober of not, I am forever yours."
