Christmas in JUNE??

I have never been Christmas caroling, that I remember. We tried to go during Christmas time last year, but weren't able to, so we decided that we would celebrate Christmas 6 months after it ended. June came, 6 months after Christmas, and we put up our tree, made Christmas cookies, and went...yes... CHRISTMAS CAROLING! We want others to feel the spirit of Christmas more than once a year also. We made Peanut Butter Christmas cookies, and took those as treat to our holiday cheer recipiants. We sang to the Miners, they were in shock, but they atleast sang Silent Night with us. Next we were off to Meggan Wilson, she just laughed at us and declined our invitation to go caroling with us. We also sang to the Shaws, and the Wildes. They were all delighted to hear our melodious voices sing Jingle Bells, a true Christmas Classic. Darla if you read this, please know that we went to your house first. Sadly your family wasn't there. Allas our Christmas celebrating will soon come to an end as we take down our Christmas Tree within the next couple weeks. I'm hoping to start using my treadmill again.








Bug decorated our Christmas Tree with Carla's toys. So stinking cute!!

Baby Nephew!

Gabriel Christian Barrientos was born on June 1st, 7lbs 11 oz; 20" long at 5:15pm, in Iowa. I'm so excited for my brother, Jorge and Tamara. I want one...well, I have one. I want two!

I LOVE CARLA

Carla and I loving on each other. Priceless moments.

Hysteria

Zach has a way of making Carla laugh. The video explains it all.

Time to Rock and Roll

Carla is now rocking and rolling!
She started getting up on her hands and knees this week. It was so cute! I can't believe that my little baby is getting so stinking big! Before long she is going to be crawling, then walking! AHH!!! My little angel is growing up so fast. I hope that I can commit every moment into memory because these amazing moments are flying by. I love you my baby, I hope that you can feel this when you read this.

Jail Baby

My baby in her new cage, I mean play yard. Claire, a friend from Tommy's offered us this play yard and I kept wanting to call her and ask her for it, but I was nervous and felt embarrassed.
Once Carla started getting stuck on the coffee table, hitting her side while rolling into the T.V. stand, and almost kicking the vase on herself, I decided it was time to suck up the pride and ask for help. It has been such a blessing for her, and me! She has so much fun playing with all of the toys and accessories on two of the sides, she will even ALMOST take her nap in it. I know she is loving it!

Chunky Cheeks

I love her cute chunky cheeks! She is getting to be so stinking big! She weighs about 23lbs, and I think each of
her cheeks are 5 lbs. Carla is so adorable! I love being her mommy, and enjoy all of the joy that she has brought into my life. Look at those thunder thighs!
I also love how her little head is tilted up in these pictures, she was looking out the window when whe fell asleep.

Life Isn't Measured By The Breaths You Take, But By The Moments That Take Your Breath Away

This one ONE of the MANY wonderful moments in my life. We were at my mom's house cleaning the Wilson's tent. We used it when we went camping. We were having a lot of fun being goofy. President Hickley said, "Marry someone you can laugh with or laugh at for the rest of your life." Thank you Father in Heaven for blessing me with a husband that meets both of those stipulations. Zach promised me when we were engaged that he would make me laugh every day for the rest of our life. He has definitely kept his promise!













Thanks for these wonderful moments love!

Ancient Blanky

dAdDy's BlAnKy!

My mother in law found Zach's baby blanky. When Zach saw it, he squealed with joy and said, "My blanky!" It was his comfort blanky until he was about 6 years old. So cute! He was so proud that Carla was going to be able to cuddle and get obsessed with her daddy's blanky. It is so adorable to watch him get so excited with her. I love it!

She sleeps with HER pink fuzzy blanky, and DADDY'S blanky, which was once a mint green color, now tan. Zach is such a great daddy. I am so glad that he is the father of my children. I love you Babe, and Carlita!
