Finally!!

Finally after 3 months of waiting, my birth certificate arrived. Because of all the problems they are having with the Puertorican birth certificates, being sold in the black market for thousands of dollars and having people stealing our identities (because of our US citizenship and spanish names) the government decided that all of the puertorican birth certificates would not be valid as of July 1st, 2010. It was weird to not have a valid birth certificate. It is a good thing I did not need it during that time. When I went to renew my drivers license in September, I was able to use my passport. Good thing I had it renewed earlier this year because without it I would not have been able to get my drivers license.

Conner's tooth and a new grandson.

Yesterday as I was driving Conner to basketball practice he was eating some animal crackers when his first loose tooth fell out. He was so excited, it did not even bleed.

We are so excited that little Ronan James was born today. He is so cute, he was 8 lbs. 2 oz. and 21 inches long. Born at 9:10 AM in Hawaii. We feel so incredibly blessed to have two healthy and beautiful grandkids. I am sad that we weren't able to be there, but I was able to be on the phone for the 3 hours that Ashley was pushing and got to hear everything that went on in the birthing room.

Brinley and grandpa crawling

This video was so cute I had to share it.

Frogs, Trophies and Halloween!!

Last night as I went to reach for the cable to charge my cell phone, I saw a frog sitting on the edge of my nightstand just behind the phone. It freaked me out!! I am so tired of finding frogs in my toilet and now in my room.

Today we had a big party at the YMCA for the kids that played basball and soccer.

I thought the trophies looked cool on the table.

Today we had our "Trunk or Treat" at the church. There were a ton of people, we had a great time.

Conner went as Luigi, Parker was a teenager, and I guess I was someone fron the 60's mixed with the 80's.

Brinley was a cute little lamb.

A random kid from another Ward and Conner.

Conner's baseball

Conner has improved a lot in baseball. In his coach pitch each player on his team bats every inning. In his game last night he got three solid hits and did not need to use the tee. We are very proud of how he is doing.

FHE at the Meyerson's

On Monday we went to Meagan and Chad Meyerson's home for FHE. We had a great lesson on Temples and decorated Halloween cookies. It was fun to visit with them. Thank you Meyersons.

A quote from President Joseph Fielding Smith

For enrichment meeting tonight we were asked to bring a quote from a latter-day Prophet. I came across this quote that I really liked. I have always been THANKFUL to be a member of the church.


Pres. Joseph Fielding Smith

I wonder how well pleased we are that we are members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If we have the right understanding, this is the greatest gift so far as mortality is concern that can be given us--membership in the kingdom of God, his divinely appointed church.
