California!!

Liliana and I had the opportunity to go to California and see some of my extended family. We first drove to Boise and then the next day we left with my Grandpa and Aunt Karen. We had so much fun I don't think I could even write everything we got to do while we were there. We got to meet all my Dad's cousins and we got to meet my Great Grandpa... Liliana's Great Great Grandpa. It was really special to get to spend time with all the family. I am so grateful for the trip. We got to go to Old Town Sacramento and we got to go to San Francisco! Two places I will probably never get the chance to visit again. It truly was a awesome vacation!!

Liliana absolutely loved taking a bath in Auntie Loretta's sink!! Every night she was so excited to get in the sink and play in the bubbles.

Liliana at the Car Races. The noise didn't even bother her, she only wore the ear-muffs for a few pictures before she wanted them off : )

Sacramento River. We got to eat right by the water : )

Once they put the bib on me, Liliana had to have one too to match me. It was so fun eating on the water and getting to eat lots of yummy sea food!!

Whoowa!

The other night we took a little walk around the Temple. It is so  beautiful and we are eternally grateful that it is so close to our home. 

Driving in style

Liliana got a huge surprise!! She got a princess car from her Mom & Dad, her Grandma & Grandpa Silva, and her Uncle Jerry & Aunt Bree. She was so very excited and loves to drive it around the neighborhood! She absolutely loves it

Baby #2 Update!!

I haven't posted any pregnancy pictures yet. This pregnancy has been going so fast, I guess that's what happens when you are constantly busy with a toddler. I have been feeling great besides being tired at the end of a busy day : ) He is so active and is constantly kicking or punching me..I cant believe how strong  he is already. We are so excited to meet our little man and cant wait for him to arrive and join our family!! As I begin to show more and more Liliana gets more and more excited she is so smart and is very interested in Mommy's growing tummy.

25 WEEKS

20 WEEKS

Making Memories

We had a great week with my brother and his wife. It has been so long since I have seen them and I am so grateful for the time we got to spend with them. We were so busy and got to do so many things. My Grandpa even came up and spent some time with us! We got to go to the pool and it was 95 degrees that day... it was a blast! We also got to go to the zoo and Liliana had such a blast she was excited to see all the animals. Her Uncle bought her a really cool stuffed tiger at the zoo and she has to bring it everywhere with her, she LOVES it!! Uncle Jerry also brought her to the Disney store, it was so cool in there!! Even Jerry said he found himself running around with Lili feeling just like a little kid again. He got Lili the cutest princess dress, it is the Tinker Bell dress and he got her the matching shoes and even the wings!! She also got Timon from Lion King to add to her Lion King collection : ) She had a blast in there, it was so adorable! We also got to play at a couple arcades and we all had a blast playing some games and winning tickets. Its good to feel like a kid again : ) I Love my brother so much and I am so happy that I got to have him here for a whole week. When we brought Jerry and Bree to the airport and we said our goodbyes we put Liliana back into the car and she started to cry and said "I want Uncle Jerry to sit here" and pointed at the seat next to her. : ( it was so sweet. She had the time of her life and got completely spoiled by her Uncle Jerry and Aunt Bree. <3

A whole new world!!

So today we went in for my big 20 week ultrasound, Liliana and Javis came too. Its so exciting to see the baby, I just love it! At my last appointment I didn't get any good pictures because the baby was in the fetal position and just didn't  want to really show much of anything. My doctor did guess the sex and told me he was about 90% sure on the sex of the baby! So that was exciting, but we were still waiting it out until the 20 week ultrasound to make sure the doctor was right. Today we found out that he was right... 

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!

He still was very shy and wouldn't show us his face at all. He had his face turned in and if he even turned his head for a second both his hands were up covering his face. : ) He is stubborn and just really doesn't want to corroborate. Liliana was so different and I always had great ultrasound pictures with her. Liliana is getting so exciting and constantly pulls up her shirt and says that she has a little brother in her tummy... then she tries to pull up my shirt and tell me I have a little brother in my tummy as well. She is really starting to understand since I finally set up his bed in his bedroom and now she knows that that is little brothers room and little brothers clothes. Boy world is a whole new world for me and I seriously just bought him some things two days ago. But now that I have started I feel really excited and cannot wait to meet him! The only thing is we cannot decide on a name... The first time when we found out we were having a girl at 16 weeks I think we had a name and had already made purchases for clothes within weeks : ) But this time we are just a little stumped but still very very excited!

Forever

As most of you know we were able to be sealed in the Logan Temple on April 28th and it was a very exciting time in our lives. It is a goal we always had and we made it, there is no better feeling. We were very lucky to have a lot of family come and support us and we are eternally grateful! The amount of support that we got from all our family and friends is what helped us know that we will always be loved no matter what! I am so grateful for the experience and there was nothing that can quite explain the feelings Javis and I both had as they brought in Liliana all dressed in white. She was so sweet and so calm. It brought tears to both of our eyes when she came walking in. The Logan Temple has always been my favorite and I feel blessed to be able to have gone to my favorite Temple. Living in Utah has been a blessing in disguise for us and it has given us some of the biggest struggles of our lives but we have also received such great blessings from our trials! Thank you for all the love and support... We love you all!!

Sadly I forgot my camera so I don't have many good ones but I put on some pictures of the Logan Temple that I think really capture its beauty!
