Once Again...My Precious Boy

YES! That is Damon in the middle in the star! He's such a rockstar! This is a flyer that will be going around, as a fundraiser, for our kids to be able to make a wish. Any wish they want! Whether it be a toy, equipment, anything! And the money raised from the fundraiser will be used to grant those wishes! I think it's a great idea, and I can't wait for the final product to be done! Im just so excited Damon was used again!

interesting people

So I don't think I've said it enough that this complex we live in, has some interesting people that live here, to say the least! I was walking up the stairs to apartment carrying damon, and trying to get Keenan to hurry up. This lady that lives next to us is CRAZY! This is our conversation

lady" your kids are cute"
me- "thanks"
lady- "how old are they?"
me-" Keenan is 2, Damon is almost 4."
lady- "But he acts like a 2-3 month old yah?"
me- thinking to myself, you did not just say that to me!
lady-" you need to take him to the hospital"
me-" Oh i just got a dr. for him"
lady-" No you need to take him to the hospital. Oh I dont feel very good"
me- thinking your breathe reaks of alcohal, you should be sick!
lady- "Im from the bay area."
me- um ok?
lady-" you know he's jealous of him, meaning Keenan is jealous of Damon
me- "no he's really not, he's just tired."
lady-" no he is you would be suprised."
me- "well you have a nice day."

This lady is crazyness! This is just a sample of what she has to say to me, and my friend Keri that lives on the other side of her! She's CRAZYNESS!

She went off on Keri the other week, that she's smart too cause her man Obama is president and that one of our kids said they live next to a blackky, which is funny, cause none of our kids can talk!

A little Turtle w/a Ninja attitude

I have been working on these cute, cute costumes for the boys. Keenan runs away everytime I try and put it on him. I hope come Halloween he gets a little side tracked with candy and wears it! It was so much fun to create these because I didn't have a pattern so lots of thinking time, and looking on the internet for lots of ideas. Damon is going to be the orange one, and Keenan is the red. Can't wait to get them all dressed up together, and of course they will have a green face and hair! Only thing missing is thier belt.

Cutest turtle I've ever seen!

Lost Phone

So i lost my phone today while I was on a walk. So unfortunatly I have to get a new phone and it's probably gonna be ugly, oh well as long as it calls right? Im too much of a materialistic! Anywho, if I had your number, and Im sure you know who you are, can I get your number again? if you don't wanna post it here on a comment, you can e-mail me at ja_enriquez@juno.com

Thanks everyone!

6 years

We have been married for officialy 6 years and together for about 10! I don't know where the time has gone, but its gone, because we have 2 kids and have done so much! In our years of being married and together, we have been to lots of places, moved 10 times including moving here to Sacramento for 3 months! Can't believe we have been in 10 different places! Crazy! We've been to Mexico, Hawaii, Disneyland, Juans been to Texas, and lived in 3 different states! I just hope when were done with school, I dont move this many times! We have had so much fun being married and have many more years to come! We love to party and it seems like we are always doing something, even if its going out for a drive. We love life!

For our anniversary yesterday, we decided to include the kids in our adventures so we could be gone as long as we wanted, and didn't have to ask for a babysitter. We went to Old Sacramento for the first time, and Im sure it won't be our last. It's just a fun little old town, with lots of little shops fun people watching. :)

Just a glimpse of what one building looked like. There are a few blocks of old looking buildings like these.

They do carriage rides pulled by these cute little guys!

Juan and Damon hanging out at a little place they have decorated for Fall

This is a Salt Water Taffy store with every flavor you can think of! Best part? Free samples of whatever flavor you wanna try!

Out the door to our romantic night out! Eating a Golden Corral with the boys! It was so much fun actually!

Until next year!

FHE and Caramel Apples

Last week for FHE we got together with a few people and made caramel apples! It was a short and fun little treat and they turned out so yummy!

Juan, Damon, Alise, Kimber (Kimbers husband Scott had to work late), Keenan, Trisha, Elijah, Colby, Noah, and Tanner. (his wife isn't here)

ONE LAST CALL!!

If you missed by previous post about going private, and forgot to leave me thier e-mail, Here in the next week, Im going to be going private

FairyTale Town

We have found a few things to do here to make our stay a little more fun and entertaining! Since we are only here for a short amount of time, I want to make the most of adventures! Juan has been working a lot and so this weekend, I wanted to take the day and make it a fun adventure for us and the kids. We woke up on Saturday and went to breakfast at Denny's and then traveled to another part of Sacramento about 15 minutes away where they have a place called Fairytale Town! While we were at Denny's Colby called us and told us that it was free that day and it was great because we were already planning on going! What a better way! It was free because of Children's Celebreation 2009, so they had lots of things going on. Lots of entertainment and free food! Lots of snacks, drinks, and little hamburgers. They had trails you walk around on and go to all the different areas such as a walk through King Arthurs castle, a slide down the Woman that lived in the shoe, a tree house with a slide, Mary had a little lamb with a real lamb, Tale of Peter Rabbit with real rabbits, and lots of other things! It was a fun day to hang out and enjoy our time as a family!

Getting thier faces painted

Fall Wreaths

Last night, Keri (anothers interns wife), Trisha and I, went shopping to make wreaths! It was a lot of fun to get out without kids and do something we love to do! I think they turned out pretty cute, and it was fun to chat! I'm a little nervous to put it up outside so I put it up on the inside of my door!

All of our belongings before we started

As of Late

We are on week number 2 in California and I think I am liking it more and more! Maybe not the whole area we are at, but i'm figuring out where everything is, and don't have to use mapquest quite and much! I have loved just being able to do things that I have loved to do like sewing and crafts! Because I was on such a demanding schedule back home with therapy, preschool, Juan in school, and just daily life, I was laying low on what I love to do! It's kinda a nice break!

Juan is loving his internship and I am loving having him on a normal schedule and not having to worry about him having homework! He loves being able to go in, work a little, manage a little, and feel like he's in charge a little! No more grunt work! He loves that! So many years he has been on the grunt end, and school truly does make a difference! I don't think you can stress enough how much school can help! Totally worth it!

The boys are used to being here, and Keenan has learned to climb out of his pack and play, up on the dressers, and pull out his clothes! The last couple days he has climbed out when he's supposed to be taking a nap! He's not the only one that is up to a whole lot, Damon is getting pretty mobile! He's kicking and rolling and even getting in a little army crawling! If he see's something he wants, he can get it if he's determined enough! Life is great! Were comfortbaly sitting at 77 degrees right now! I'm not missing Rexburg right about now, but miss all our friends!

Private

We're going to go private soon, so if you still look at our blog, leave me your e-mail so I can add you!
