9/3/08 Anabella's first day of kindergarten.
Waiting to go into class.
The Curious George bag, she has gotten it twice and loved it.
10/31/08 HALLOWEEN 08. Kamillah was Gabriella Montez from High School Musical. Anabella was Hannah Montana. Victoria was just grumpy, she had her 2 month appt. that day and had 3 shots. Omar didn't really dress up, that's just a normal uniform for him.

11/10/08 The girls and 2 of my nieces playing "dress up".
11/16/08 HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMILLAH! She turned 4 and she got all High School Musical stuff for her b-day. We had cake and ice cream with a few friends and family.














11/18/08 Random pictures of me and the girls while Omar was at another 2 week training.











11/20/08 Sammy DeYoung's 4th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The girls had lots of fun and one some great prizes.





11/30/08 Trip to Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake, to see the beautiful Christmas lights. The weather was good and dry, the girls really enjoy going every year.

Life is Busy... What else can I say??

So life is crazy busy as always. I've been working again, I've been babysitting 2 of my nieces 2-3 days a week, Omar's been gone again for some training, and life just doesn't get any easier.

I love my job, I work at the LDS Distribution Center in Salt Lake processing orders for customers all over the world. It's amazing to see where people are ordering from, and it's amazing how many people are constantly progressing in the Gospel.

I love my kids, they are so cute, sweet and amazing. baby Victoria is doing so well, and growing up so fast. She's already 3 months old, time goes by fast. She sleeps 10 hours at night, she smiles a lot, she hardly ever cries, she's a mommas girl, and I think she's already teething.

Kamillah is a great helper, she is obsessed with High School Musical and she's only 4. She is beautiful, I love her dark eyes and her super long eyelashes. She wants so badly to go to school, but we are too poor to send her to preschool and she has to wait 2 more years to go to kindergarten.

Anabella is super smart. She is in all day kindergarten and loves it. It's amazing how smart she is and how social she can be. She has made a lot of friends, she is a great, big sister and such a wonderful helper.

Omar had a Warrior Leadership Course that he had to do. He stayed at Camp Williams from Nov. 7-22nd. It's some training he had to do partly so he could get promoted to a sergeant in the Army. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be not having him here. The girls were really good, which helped a lot. I think Omar's glad to be back...:)

I have tons of pictures I need to post, so my next blog will just be pics and brief descriptions of what's going on. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and I'm thankful for my wonderful, large family and the good times we have when we get together. I miss my brother Robert who has 7 more months of his mission left. He his serving in Birmingham, England. Thanks to all of you who read my blog, even though I'm very slow at updating it. Enjoy.

June 20th-July 3rd, Omar's training in S. Korea

So from June 20th-July 3rd Omar had the privilege to go to South Korea for his annual training with the Guard. He liked it, but didn't. He says the people smell bad, but are very kind. He went to the Temple grounds and attended church, and he almost got arrested for taking pictures. Instead he just got his camera taken away and pictures deleted. He saw a lot of free movies on post, and he went to the DMZ, which is where S. Korea borders N. Korea and they signed some treaty thing. Anyways these are a few of the pictures he came home with.
