Twilight

Maricela, Ashley, Me, Maria, Amy, Tara B, Jen G, Chelsey and Annie after the show.

Last night, or I could say this morning, a group of us went to watch Twilight. It was a fun time. I picked up Maricela and Ashley at 1:45 am, after only being asleep 2 hours! We met up with my sister-in-laws and some friends and a whole bunch of other crazy Twilight fans. The highly anticipated movie was .... I will wait until more of you have seen it to post my reviews. I had a great time and even though i have not finished reading the series, I feel like a "true" fan. HAHA.... As you can see some of us had Twilight shirts. Mine says "Edward prefers brunettes", it's true he does, so go get you some hair dye.

It was fun and I can't wait to see the others, they better do them!

I have been wondering... What will Leah think of these movies and books when she is older and reads them? Will she think I am crazy for liking them or will she like them too?!?!

My floors are clean!

Well... they were. I had my carpets and tile cleaned on Monday. They look great! I especially love the tile in the kitchen, SO much better.

I had it done by SOS Carpet cleaning. They have a great special going on this month. If you have them clean your carpets this month you get $50 off AND if you post an "add" on your blog, letting your friends know about it, you get an additional $50 off! It was a great deal for us.

(these are just a few of the youth in our ward)

I really enjoy the youth in our ward. They are a "royal generation", that is for sure. I have never blogged about them before but this last mutual activity was so much fun, and their personalities truly shone. We had a LipSync where they had to get into groups, give themselves a name (I will not tell you the names, since I don't remember them, but they were quite funny!), they practiced for 10 minutes and then the fun began. I was shocked to see some of these guys/gals rockin' it and shakin' what their momma gave them so freely up on stage. One of the YM leaders (Matt Nelson) really gave it his all and gave us a good laugh. I was VERY impressed with some of the moves from our new Deacons and Beehives, and I wonder where they got those moves?!?! Impressive to say the least. Oh what I would give to be young again! FUN FUN TIMES. Adriel, the YW president dared me to run up on stage and slide on the middle of the stage... I know BIG dare (wink, wink). So of course being my dorky self I ran as fast as I could in the 3 yards I had and slid on to the stage, I got beat red and I had a good laugh. The next day I felt like I had been beaten with a 2x4 a hundred times on the side of my leg, all for just a high five from Adriel and some good laughs. Again, I love the youth in the ward. They are so much fun and great examples.

I am going private....

I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I am going private. Why? I was watching the news and I saw a big thing on blogging and threats and I really want to protect my kids. I want to blog about EVERYTHING and I, believe it or not, I don't. So I am going private! I would love for you to keep checking on us and our "exciting" lives. Please leave me your e-mail on this post and I will send you the invite. I will have this up for a few days. THANKS!!


Tasty Trevino Treats will remain open for all to view. Since I know you ALL check it daily... :P

If you don't want to leave your e-mail here for all to see you can e-mail me at: warlat@yahoo.com

Milli, Milz, Milli Pilli, Mishi, Milliling, Milli Lee...

Milli had her 6 month old appointment last week and I need to "update" some of her latest and greatest. First of all she has many nicknames. Her latest was given to her by her uncle Marcos (my bro.) In Argentina we say the "y" and "ll" with a "SH" sound so since Millicent is spelled with a double "L" we now call her MiSHicent or MiSHi. We love her new nickname and it makes us laugh all the time. Milli is always smiling and I love her beautiful blue eyes, her toothless smile, her giggles, and many other things. Milli has been eating rice cereal for the past week and DOESN'T like it. I fed her some carrots today and she shook with disgust when I would get some in her mouth, I had to laugh every time. This little monkey is a bit small for my liking and I have been concerned with her lack of growth. She really needs some more meat on those bones. The Doc assured me she was doing just fine and not to worry, but that I should push for more feedings... well, thanks for the advice doc. should of told me sooner! Now that she is getting more food she is finally sleeping through the night! I guess she was starving. I can already tell she is a bit rounder in the face since last week. She is rolling over and is pretty content and loves her mama (that is a first for me because the other two like daddy best). Milli is joy and we love her to pieces.

Her latest stats:

13lbs. 12oz 15% weight
25 3/4 inches long 50% height

We love you Mish!

Old and New Friends

Yesterday we got together with some of our friends from FOREVER ago. We met the Smith's when we lived in Ecuador. Last time we saw them was about 16 years ago! Yeah for the internet and facebook for getting old friends back together. We had such a wonderful time! We have all grown up and now have our own children. The kids had a blast with their new friends. There were quite a few missing in this picture (the kids were all playing down stairs, Dave was out of town, Asialene was taking the picture, my sis in Colombia and many of the Smith kids live out of town). The Smith's are such wonderful people and we look forward to see them again soon. I love that the world is so big yet SO small and we can see old friends again and make new ones.

Happy B-day Ryan!

Monday was Ryan's B-day. We all went to Jungle Jim's and had a great time. The kids rode on the rides, played arcade games, had pizza, YUMMY cupcakes made by Aunt Amy (Ryan's mom) and of course opened presents. Ryan had an Indiana Jones theme to his party and as souvenirs they each got a treasure with yummy things in it. We love you Ryan, hope all your wishes come true!
