Sweet Dreams For All

Yesterday is the first day Noemi put herself to sleep for her nap time and bed time!!  Thank you Auntie Amy for helping us all get a good nights sleep!!! 

Walking around our neighborhood

Fun Photos

 Took Talitha roller skating for the first time with a bunch of our friends!  We rented this walker with wheels and Talitha did AWESOME!!

 Yes, my girls like to touch slugs.  If you ask Talitha what her favorite animals are she will tell you SLUGS, SNAILS, WORMS, SQUIDS, ELEPHANTS, AND HIPPOPOTAMUS.

 Saturday night bowling with our buddies.  Not nearly as good as Auntie Suzzy...she got a 216 the other night for her league in a tournament in Reno!  me well I ....I got a 75 here with our kids :)

 Making mud pies in the font of our house while mommy plants strawberries!

Anniversary Beach Day

 We took the girls to Alkai for our anniversary family fun day.  Of course I was to nervous to hand anyone my camera so I didn't get any family photos.  But our kids are sure cute!!

Mexico!

 Our family in Mexico

 Noe's Grandma with the kids

 Noe's mom's uncle and family in Autlan

 Talitha climed the tree across from Grandma's house.  Grandma used the leaves on this tree to make a tea when Noe's aunt's tummy was upset.

 Grandma also makes tea from long cinnamon branches...Yummy!

We walk every day to the plaza and to the park and just to walk walk walk.

 There are horses everywhere.  every morning we see people riding their horses to go work and later in the day they come home.  People ride horses everywhere!

 Talitha let her cousins braid her hair every day

 Talitha helped wash dishes.  This is a cement sink.  It has a basin on the Left for clean water then a wash board in the center where Talitha is for laundry and rinsing dishes and then another deep basin on the right.

The tortillas at this restaurant were bigger than my head

 Talitha loves her little baby cousin so much~

 It rained really hard a couple days for only about an hour then it was hot again.  This is the center of Grandma's house.  Talitha calls the houses in Mexico Inside Outside houses because they have a front room then in the center of the house is an open courtyard for the breeze to come in and then the second part of the house with rooms.  The bath room and wash area are outside.  It's such a different way of life.  We LOVE it!!

 We got to feed horses

 We made spray bottle art

 We had water bottle fights

 Walking in town

 This is our cousin Martin.  He is AMAZING.  He can't speak, but he is so smart!  He is fluent in Spanish and English.  He understands everything.  There was a tragic accident that happened when his mom was pregnant with him that left him handicap.
