Happy Birthday, Micaela!

Our little friend, Micaela, turned 3 two Sundays ago and we had a great time celebrating with her!

Mica, Kiara, Mimi & Brianna

Tia Lili & Tia Paola adore Kiara and played with her lots during the party

Where's my driver's license, Dad?

Spring is here!!!

After lunch smile! Those blue eyes!

We're back on the road biking as a family and loving it!

SNL with the Jacobsens. GREAT TIME!

Lauchi fell asleep on Uncle David's arms. So sweet!

More celebration!

At Church with Ampee

Brianna & Ampee blew his candle on his chocolate coconut vegan pie. Happy Birthday, Ampee!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMPEE!!!!

Today we all celebrated Ampee's birthday by treating him to good Mexican fare in town and then going for some good old ice-cream at Baskin & Robins. Brianna loved her chips with bean salsa and Ampee LOVED his chile relleno, rice & beans.

Jer really liked his tacos with salad

Kiara took a cat nap during dinner after milking Mom for supper

Grupo Latino get together at our home

We had a fantastic time on Wednesday afternoon & evening. Several of Bibi's friends from Mexico and South America were able to come play and have dinner at our home. All kids dressed up in their fave costumes and played non-stop for several hours.

Argentine "meat" pie, pasta, veggies & "chicken" nuggets for the kids, salad, fruit and homemade chocolate coconut and almond chocolate pie for dessert. Yum!

Jeremy had lots of fun playing with Mimi & Kiara

Almost 11 years later and it still fits!

Brianna had been requesting Mommy dress up in her wedding gown for some time so Bibi finally got her big golden box out of the closet and got her wedding dress, tiara and veil together for some fun pics with her very own "flower girls." Brianna was super excited to get her special dress on that Amee gave her and Kiara reluctantly wore the same flower dress Brianna wore for Rony (Bibi's brother) & Sandra's wedding.

A GREAT weekend with the Clarks

Last weekend we all drove to Stockton for a memorable few days of AMAZING company, food, and R&R. Thank you, guys! We got back home recharged & inspired

Isy and Bri played together really well, even though "please share" was heard pretty often throughout the weekend. Pretty passionate Argentine blood in there for sure!

Great Sabbath School program for all the girls. They all really enjoyed it!

Joel & Jeremy taking a break from super yummy vegan cheese blintzes Gisele prepared for us. The food, throughout the weekend, was nothing short of spectacular. Can't wait to making more memories together next time!

Bibi (circa 1981) and Brianna (2010)

Mommy and daughter photographed in the same spot, with a three decade difference. There is definitely a resemblance, though most facial features are rather different. Enjoy!

Our adorable niece's first 10 days ...

Baby Shylah Laine sleeping

and all smiles already! We can't wait to hold her in our arms in July!

Our Spanish-speaking group

This is such an answer to prayer! A group of Spanish-speaking moms from all over North and South America recently formed here in town and Bibi was invited to join. Most kids speak Spanish as well and it's a GREAT venue not only for Bibi to develop new friendships but also for the girls to relate and appreciate Spanish dialects and exciting cultural customs & foods. Brianna is loving the time spent with new friends from Mexico, Peru and Colombia!
