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!

Halloween night was fun time. Of course the kids love to dress up. All three of them were ninjas. I made these costumes (I know, not fabulous, but they thought they looked pretty dang cool and they LOVED it). We trick-or-treated around our neighborhood and didn't forget to go to Leah's Kindergarten Teacher's house. It was a nice night but a little wet. My mom came along with us but when it started to more than drizzle she took Milli back home. We are lame and leave a bowl out for people to help themselves. Next year I will stay home (maybe:)). After we did our neighborhood we headed to Dave's parents house and saw some cousins and Grandpa Al. The kids trick-or-treated in the circle and of course got tons of yummy candy, which I am eating! All in all it was a fun time. I love holidays and I think its really fun to create new family traditions. Be careful now, you wouldn't want to encounter one of these ninjas at night.... except they kept on saying they were nice ninjas.

W.N.O.

Some of us moms from the ward got together and went to Witches Night at Gardner Village a few weeks ago. It was fun time. I really had no idea what a big deal this was and how many people dress up. There are all sort of ladies dressed up and I thought this one lady was pretty dang witchy looking so I had to have my picture taken with her. Next year I will have to plan in advance and get my costume put together. We ate some yummy food, fried bread (YUM!), we also enjoyed some very crowded window shopping, and we cackled for coupons (see picture above). Good times, Good times!

Fire Pit at The Bawden

We partook in the fun of a fire pit at one of neighbors house a few weeks ago. We had a great time. All the kids ran around like crazy in their awesome backyard. I was holding Milli while Dave attempted to perfectly roast some marshmallows. I ended up eating a bunch of them since they were too crisp for his liking, lucky me. I love these beautiful cool fall evenings and sitting by the fire is just wonderful!
