Young Women and Knives

I have awesome parents, not only are they awesome dancers, but at all times they are willing to serve.

(They are also AMAZING dancers)
I am a Mia Maid adviser for my ward and we have mutual on Wednesdays. On one of those Wednesdays, we were suppose to have a combined mutual with the boys, but things changed and that didn't happen. So I was left with a mutual and no time to plan it. I had asked my parents to teach the girls about Colombia later in the month. So here a I was with out a planned mutual and no time. So I did the one thing I do best and that was to call my mom. I called my mom to Tell my dad if they could do the mutual activity that they were planning early, and without any doubt they (my mom) said YES!!!

So that night we were going to have Colombian Hot Chocolate (its the best) learn how to make Cheese souffle and make swans out of apples. Swans out of apples?" you say.... My dad is like McGiver.

My family use to own a catering business back in Colombia and he can make whales, sharks and other animal out of fruit.

So back to the story, I called the girls and told them to bring a knofe to mutual to make the swans, the girls all brought a knife to mutual and I wondered what went through the parents head as their girls told them "I need a knife for mutual". So the girls came and made swans out of apples and LOVED it!! Here are the girls with their creations!

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD, without you I would have had no mutual!!!

Happy Birthday Pher!!!

(the baby is one of our nieces)

Pher is one year older and wiser today. I am greatful for him, he is my "lobster" and for that I will be eternally grateful. He teaches me so much every day. He has made me laugh everyday and has kept our marriage interesting (in a good way). Pher- I love you and I hope that I have made you feel as special as you make me feel every day.

Love,

This is for my mom and dad

Soon after my dad found out that he was going to be a grandfather, he saw a little kid with a pacifier like this. He asked where that family got it and he bought one for Miss L. She got it last sunday and today I did a photoshoot for her. This was the first picture that I edited. The white dress that she is wearing is her blessing dress. Mom and Dad, enjoy!!!

November 1st Surprise

We had a great Halloween! Pher decided to sign us up to bring something for our wards Halloween trunk or treat. The options were chili, cornbread, or root beer. I have made Chili before and it is easy, same with cornbread, I was more worried with the root beer. I have NEVER made root beer before!! So out of those options he selected root beer, and to make easier for me he wanted it to be HOMEMADE!! Let’s just say that I ended up buying several bottles of soda. For the trunk or treat I also made cupcakes. I have realized that I really enjoy baking and I am working on cooking.

On Halloween night, we received a phone call letting us know that Reana (Sebastian’s wife) was in labor!!! On November 1, 2008 The T Family welcomed its newest member, LAURA MARJORIE. Everyone is doing great, but tired. Here is my dad holding his 1st grandchild. He was so anxious. He started to sweat and panic. When Sebastian and I were newborns he was very scarred to hold us, not much has changed on 25 years. But he is the best Ü.
