Memories

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you have of either Spencer, Katrina or our family. It doesn't matter how well you know us, anything you remember will be fun!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Slacker

Since we have moved to Utah I have not taken one picture. Oops. We have been having a good summer though. Spending lots of our evenings at the pool. I really want to get some pool pictures. My kids love the water. Esperanza does pretty good with floaties, and Lorenzo is happy as can be kicking around in the little tube we have for him. I am going to take some pictures and post them because they look so funny swimming around since they are so little. So, I am going to add take pictures to my ever growing list of things I want to do, but obviously am putting off. Right now I feel like I am like the cat in the cat in the hat who is balancing all of those objects, and pretty soon they are all going to come tumbling down:)

"I need to"

Esperanza's new thing is to say she needs to do something. She had a pen and started to write on the wall and I told her to stop writing on the walls and she said, but mom I need to write on the wall. I know I shouldn't laugh because it only encourages her, but I couldn't help it. So now everytime I tell her not to do something. She says, but mom I need to.

I thought this was cute

Working woman

Well, I am officially a working woman. I am working as a case manager for a home health agency, and I am really liking it. It feels weird to be back in the work field, but this job does give me quite a bit of flexibility so I can work a little from home and still be able to spend time with my kids. I do miss them though. It is nice to be back in Utah near our family. Spencer is enjoying his job, and the kids love all of their cousins and friends. It doesn't even phase them that I go to work because there are so many kids to play with. So for now our life is starting to calm down, but knowing us it probably won't stay calm for too long. That would be too easy :)

Settling in

So we are starting to get settled in here in Utah. Everything has kind of been a whirlwind. We got here last Wed. Then Lorenzo and I flew to Arizona Friday morning so that I could get some dental work done. I am so grateful my brother was kind enough to work on my teeth on his day off:) Of course we had everything planned to go on Friday and Lorenzo got so sick. I ended up still going and I feel so bad because I got my brother's family sick. We flew back to Utah on Monday and I start my job this coming Monday. Good thing kids are resiliant. They have been thrown around with no real home, but I guess change is good. Everyone has been so supportive and that makes all of the change that much easier. Anyways, I think we are finally getting a grip on everything.

Pictures

I took my kids to get pictures for Lorenzo's one year birthday. It seems like one is the magic number for my kids. I remember that is when Esperanza started hating picture time, and the same thing happened with Lorenzo. Although I did get some pretty good pictures of Essy. I am going to try again with Lorenzo. I hope we have better luck!


He did not want to smile. He is still pretty cute though.
