CONFESSION

Yes, as of yesterday I have read all 4 Twilight Saga books. Great read! I have definately enjoyed them. I read the frist 2 books in Spanish and the other two in English. My friend Megs talked to me into going to the midnight show for Eclipse. I think i'm going wild! I'm excited for the experience; we are even making twilight shirts. Definately getting a kick out this one :)

I'm now reading "Meeting Amazing Grace" by Joy & Gary Lundberg. It is an awesome book that helps you understand at a basic level people, accepting them from what they are and understaing many different backgrounds that peolpe in general go through. Definately a keeper!

WEEK FUN ...

Fun with dad. Aubrey loves to cuttle him. Ryan is just so warm and comfortable to cuttle with ♥

Aubrey's new face

Playing with mom

She found her favorite toy...what was I thinking when I got her another doll, DUH! a chair is funner!

I took Aubrey to the children's museum in ogden which she literally adored! She wouldn't quit screaming the second she noticed more and more things she could touch and play with. It was so fun fun to wach her! 

Grandma Janet got her this cute little hat for her B-day!

Aubrey dancing to the music! She is hilarious!

WEEK HIGHLIGHTS

Hair do of the week

Aubrey's first drawing. She is only 13 months so I never thought she could figure out how to even hold the crayon but...i tried and she profed me wrong. Now; that was art.

Fun with dad, pretty much Aubrey's favorite sport.

Aubrey worned out after a busy day of walking, picking and getting into every drawer in the house, drawing, watching her favorite sing a long video in Spanish....

Mother's day! Ryan really spoils me often but this time....He really went over board!

I love him so much for being him and for his amazing thoughfulness in getting me what I truly love! My favorite candy, chocolates, cheese puffs, my favorite soft licoreice, 25 roses! (not all in the pic) and a sewing machine! ( i have been borring my mother in laws. Well, I already put it to good use as you will see in a few pictures. I love you so much Ryan and thank you for the greatest mother's day!

Aubrey at dad's B-day party getting tired and holding her blanket to show it. I love her little manerisms already!

Watching her favorite sing along spanish music CD she got for her birthday in Spain (love the songs!)

Aubrey Ventura!

I love them sooo much! This is the type of love you can never get tired of. They are awesome and they make my life worth living! I love you you 2!

Craft day to brake in the new sewing machine! Aubrey doesn't have summer dresses really that fit her well anymore, she is growing really fast so I made her this one yesterday and hope it fits her through the summer :D

And while I was at it I made her this hair bow and many more I will post later. My good friend Karissa taught me and gave me lots of ribbon! She is the best! Thank you!

Here I am with "Sister Magleby" and her husband Cody. She was my sister's Dámaris best friend in their mission and hours before we left to go to Spain they drove all the way from Provo to bring her a wedding gift. They are awesome and loved to spend time with them. Now I know why she was Dámaris' best friend :D

Here are some portraits taken in Toledo, Spain. I will be posting them little by little since there are lots! Hope you enjoy them! Thanks so much Begoña, you are the best! ♥

PISA

And last, but not least, the Pisa Tower. Perhaps Ryan's and I favorite monument. Just huge and right there so easy to contemplate...We got a little creative as you can see when it came down to picture taking :D

This is a castle just right next to the Tower. Pretty much a complex of castles and palaces arounf the tower. Beautiful and hard to believe they were so close from each other (never seen that before anywhere in Europe)

Another castle/palace

And...after so much pizza, fettucinni, pasta, tomatoe sauce, more pasta....and pasta again we gave up and had to have McDonald's right before we left Pisa. The hamburguer tasted different than in the states...that was for sure interesting!

And on the way back to Rome to spend the rest of the night and part of the next morning where we decided to re-visit the Roman forum.

ROME ( Roman Forum)

A good view of the Colisseum.

These are the trees you also find in Brasil. Ryan really likes them.
