Aniseth got a haircut

It's hot here in FL! Poor Aniseth, her hair was beginning to be too much. When I put it up in a pony tail she always takes it down. I was tired of her always having it down and in her eyes. I decided the solution would be a haircut. Doesn't it look cute??

I wish I could be as thin as I was when I was in High School. I have tried soo hard to lose weight, but nothing seems to work. The problem is not the diet; I am the problem. Maybe a competition will help. If anyone would like to join please comment to this post. Here are the ideas I have. If you have any good ideas let me know.

-Anyone who joins will be required to pay $5, this will be for the prize. At the end of 6 months whoever has lost the most pounds will win the sum.
-Each Thursday everyone will be required to update their status. Please let us know how you are doing. What can we do to help you do better? Need any support?? I will be here and anyone else who joins as well.
-Everyone will also be required to make a goal that will be posted (I will start a special blog for this if anyone joins...hopefully). You don't have to tell us how much you weigh now, only how much you would like to lose, or the weight that you want to be.
-You can chose whatever diet plan you want. Let's make it a healthy one. :)

JOIN ME!!!

So, today I was talking with Daniel and I was telling him that I would like to join the Army. He just kinda laughed, and I asked him "what?! you think I couldn't do it?" So, I kept thinking about it a little more and then I realized that maybe I would like to join (but not with the Army). Maybe the Air Force. I was in Air Force ROTC in high school and I really liked, I never finished the four years b/c I went to Mexico and when I got back I could not catch up anymore so I didn't do it; I really wanted to do all of it though. I think I could do it. I think I would like to do it. I would like to serve my country. YES!! The US is MY country, even though I was born in Mexico, I was raised in the US and the US is my home. I have a lot of respect for the people who serve this country and protect us. I am seriously thinking about this. I know what most of you think, how could I? I have children. Yes, I do, but this is really possible. I want to do something more with my life. It's b/c of free education, it's more than that. I could do it!

Isn't he the cutest thing? I want his CD. He has a great voice.
Christian Bale is just so awesome. He is a great actor! and the best Batman! :)
Spongebob Square Pants! Now that we have cable I have made the decision of not allowing my kids to watch this show. Why? My main reason is b/c there are tons of hidden pervertities in this show that I believe kids should not watch. Yes, they may be too little to understand what is being said; little kids will still repeat everything they hear, Right? I believe that this is a horrible show along with tons of ther shows on Nickelodeon. What happened to the good old shows for kids? My kids are now only allowed to watch PBS shows and some cartoons on the Cartoon Network, like Scooby Doo.

Thanks to everyone for your encouraging comments on my last post!

Kai loves Manny. In the last couple days Kai has been talking more and be more interactive, I can now keep an actual conversation with him (sort of). He is a really bad kid; he will jump on you, pull your hair, scratch you and then run away and laugh. I didn't raise him this way! Is this my fault or are kids that way anyways? Any advice???

There were tons of thing I wanted to blog about, but I don't remember now. Sorry! I don't feel inspired.

Mexican Week
My plan for this weeks is to have one home cooked mexican meal a day. This is my plan:

Monday: Posole
Tuesday: Gordas
Wednesday: Chicken salad w/ tostadas
Thursday:Enchiladas
Friday:Tamales (maybe)

Can't think of anything else, I will post pics.

Aniseth is growing up so fast! She has 2 lose teeth (bottom center), she is kinda scared b/c she doesn't quite understand what is going to happen within the next couple days. I hope she doesn't freak out.
This fall she will be going to school and she is way excited. It is a preschool, she will be going 5 days a week for 3 hours a day. It isn't very long but she really needs to get out and make some friends. Emily who will be taking care of them (Kai and Ani) will be taking her to school while I work. Aniseth really likes hanging out with Emily. Sometimes I get a little jealous b/c it seems like she has more fun with Emily, but the truth is Ani just gets tired of me; that is perfectly ok. Emily watched them for me while Daniel was at camp with the boys in our ward. Kai and Ani had tons of fun but when I would go pick them up, they were ready to come home it seemed, and that made me happy. I guess that no matter how much they like other people (Rachelle, Emily, Aunt Liset, Sis. Gibbons), they are always happy to come home. That is comforting.

Today I had to do sharing time at church. IT WAS HORRIBLE! The jr. primary was bored, sr. primary was bored...even I was bored! I am not good at these things. Can anyone help? What are some things I could do? I thought my lesson was very well planned out but it went down the drain. I was so disappointed. I told the first counselor that it (excuse my language) sucked! I was sooo diappointed I wanted to cry. I had worked soo hard, the kids didn't seem too into it.

some pics for rachelle :)
