Halloween Pics 2011

So this year we went to our first real Trunk or Treat at the church. The girls had a blast and got tons of candy. I was a judge for the costume contest and Omar judged the cars that were decorated. The chili was delicious, getting to know more people in the neighborhood was fabulous, and overall it was a good, fun night.
On the day of Halloween the girls did their annual parade at school and had class parties. Omar was working that night and I didn't want to take the girls out Trick or Treating, but some of the neighbors talked me into taking them. It was fun and nice and warm. Hope Halloween was fun for everyone.
Not only did we grow 2 giant pumpkins, one weighing 60lbs and the other 185lbs, we also went to a local pumpkin patch. There's a house out here that they grow pumpkins, you can go and get some and donate money. They put the money to the Perpetual Education Fund. It's a good cause so we went with the neighbors and picked some out.

2011...I'm a slacker.

Since I last posted in February a lot has gone on in our family. In January I turned 30. I don't know why I was so freaked out about it, but it hasn't been too bad. Not much happened in February.
In June the girls finished up school. So this year Kamillah is in 1st grade. Her teacher is Mrs. Coombs and she's fabulous. Millah is so smart that it's hard to keep her challenged. She is now in Level 2 gymnastics. She still loves it and keeps getting better.
Bella is in a 3/4 split class. So there's 15 3rd graders and 15 4th graders. She is also a smarty pants. Her teacher is Mrs. Littlefield. Bella is doing a Ballet, Tap, Tumbling combo class. It's good for her to be doing something fun that she likes.
Victoria is a lucky girl. She gets to be home all day with daddy. Omar and I work opposite schedules so that's why. He gets the girls up and off to school and I pick them up and have them and put them in bed. I have Fridays off. It's a rough schedule, but it works for us so we don't have to pay a babysitter.
Here's some pictures of some of the happenings since Feb.

I can't believe I have an 8 year old. Anabella turned 8 on March 8th. She's a great girl. Her younger sisters look up to her and want to be like her.



In April Omar got to come home from Iraq for 2 weeks for "vacation". While he was home we had Anabella's baptism. We had all my family, grandma and grandpa Bott, Uncle Larry and Aunt Lynda, our home teachers, and friends of ours come to the baptism/confirmation and to our house for lunch after.




May was a big month for us. Daddy returned home for good from his tour in Iraq! The girls were so excited to have him home. We've all missed daddy and couldn't wait to get back to some normalcy.




In June we mostly worked on finishing up our yard. We did curbing, planted flowers, and put bark around the flowers. I love how it turned out.




In July we mostly played outside. It was pretty hot, but the girls have made such great friends here that they were playing every day. The only really fun thing we did was on the 4th of July. We went to our neighbors house for a BBQ and fireworks. It was fun!


In August Omar turned 39. Also Victoria turned 3. She is such a cutie. She's a lovable, energetic, feisty, smart girl. We love her lots. She absolutely loves Minnie Mouse!




In September Millah played soccer for the first time ever. She did really well, but was afraid of getting kicked. She even earned a medal. Her team, The Angry Birds were undefeated!



It's now October and the girls are ready for Halloween. Bella is gonna be a Ladybug, Millah a Vampire, and Victoria a Minnie Mouse! We planted a garden this year and got some of the biggest pumpkins our girls have ever seen. The biggest weighed in at 185 pounds and the other one came in at 60 pounds.

Since my last post...

Things at the Villarreal household have been a little crazy lately...to say the least. Back in June of 2010 we finally moved into our wonderful new house that we had built in Eagle Mountain. We sure do love it, especially the space. In August I finally had surgery on my left wrist for the tendonitis I had really bad. I was out of work for a month and I feel tons better. The girls also started school at their new school. Kamillah is in Kindergarten and Anabella is in 2nd grade. They absolutely love school, have made lots of friends and are very good and smart students. They read at levels higher than they should and they are really good at math. They both started gymnastics in September and have come to enjoy it very much. Kamillah is at the Kindergarten level and Anabella is at level 2. Victoria is now 2 1/2 and very rambunctious. She has an attitude that the 2 older girls never had. She is silly and smart, and a beautiful little girl. She knows all the colors of crayons and is very much a daddy's girl. Kamillah is 6 and growing up so much. She is in love with boys. She makes friends easily and is super smart. Anabella is my almost 8 year old with major attitude and acts like she's a teenager. She will be getting baptized this year. The teenage years are gonna be rough with 3 girls. Daddy can hardly wait. So far here in 2011 we've been going to the Utes gymnastics meets. We love to go and cheer them on. This last Friday we all got Pink shirts for the Breast Cancer Awareness and we waited in line for about an hour to get them autographed by all the gymnasts. I hit the big 30 this year and dreaded it my whole life. I feel like I'm an old person. Thank goodness 30 isn't really old. We can hardly wait til the middle to end of June because it will be a great time of year for our family!
