Myriam has had a fever for the last few days and Jeremy gave her a blessing before he left, but tonight it was getting worse, so I called over some neighbors, and now she is doing better!!! But if any of you read this and want to get together and help me stay sane please do call me!!!

Hey all...here's some more news...I have been working at CCSi, where I'm taking reservations for taxis for california (long beach area), charlotte, and nashville areas. I work there 4 days a week at night when the girls are sleeping. I like it, it's fun, i get to talk to a lot of fun people. Jovie is talking a whole lot more!!

so here are some more recent photos for those of you who keep up with our blog, and for those of you who don't just enjoy the photos.

Portuguese, friends, and games

Yes, all, I know. I don't speak portuguese, or at least fluenty. But through one of our friends, who happens to work with Jeremy, I have met an amazing Brazilian girl, named Paloma. Paloma is engaged to Jason, the guy who works with Jeremy. Paloma and I have become good friends very fast, although, poor Jason, gets stuck in between us sometimes, and has to translate for us. Especially when Paloma's friend Regina, gets in on the conversation. But tonight, Paloma asked me if I would come to her sealing. Let me tell you I am very honored to be invited, but, alas, I need to get my recommend renewed. So therefore I have a renewed sense of determination, to get working on the tithing issue. She really wants me there, and I am happy to go, but I need to get things straight first. But I have some time, because, since she lives in Brazil, Jason has to get her a fiance visa, which will take at least 4 to 6 months. So I have time...but anyways, last night (and tonight) both Thomas and Jason came over (last night so did Pete) and we played games. It was soo fun. Last night Pete brought over a Donkey Kong game with the bongos, and we played, man did we laugh so hard. It was fun. Then tonight we played risk. The game nights can only get better from here on out. It will be fun to get to know Jason better, and to become better friends, and to be able to have some adult communication instead of little kid conversations. But anyways here's a picture of Paloma and Jason, so you all know who I'm talking about.

I'm loving all of my classes so far, except chemistry because yeah, it's chemistry. The girls are good...growing like weeds...thats all. here's some more recent pictures


This is so cute! Jovie is pushing her whole little cute face against the glass by our front door.



so the other night Jeremy put Jovie to bed, and this is where she fell asleep...on Myriam's bed...we have taken off the side of her crib and made it into a toddler bed. Then Myriam fell asleep on Daddy's lap, and so he put her in her bed after. He proceeded to tell me to get my camera, and this is the cute scene that he wanted me to see.

Chalk Coloring

So the girls were playing outside on the sidewalk coloring with some egg chalk given to them some far away easter ago. They were enjoying it, as well as our dog, Angel Pup, was. Jovie was trying to feed her the chalk...sorry Jovie, dogs don't eat chalk. Here's some cute pictures.

Sorry Jovie, thanks for sharing, but Angel Pup doesn't eat chalk.


But here, here's a kiss for thinking of me

Animals, Animals, and even more Animals

So tonight we went to the fair. Jeremy, Myriam, Jovie, our neighbor, Shaylee, and I. It was a blast. We went and saw the animals, goats, sheepies, horses, and much more!!! It was awesome...we went on tons of rides...ok, not tons like 4. We all went on the carousel, Shaylee and Myriam went on a little kid roller coaster, and then myriam, shaylee, and i went on the spinning gyromaster. it was awesome. We have tons of pictures. Jovie absolutely loved the animals. We even saw llamas!!! Go llamas!!! Jovie also loved the hay maze that they had! It was an adventure all around. It was fun, and it was nice to spend some time as a family. So here go the pictures!!!

Family Adventure

So we went on a family date tonight to Taco Bell and it ended up at the park so the girls could run around and get all their wiggles out. Here are some pictures of the girls and Jeremy playing at the park.


Jeremy, Myriam, and Jovie playing on the balance beam at the park.


Jovie was enjoying the balance beam A LOT!!!



as you can see she was enjoying it immensely


Daddy went on it with Jovie, and then on it with Myriam...such a good daddy to play on the balance beam with the girls...

Jovie wanted to do it by herself sooo bad!

Jovie fell asleep on Jeremy while I was blogging, and so here is a picture of her.
