Buggy turns 1

Ok well this is my third attempt at this post so maybe it will let me upload the pics this time!! No such luck I will try my desk top!

Well it's about time.... I know I know

Ok so blogger hates me and when ever I try to post a new blog it never let's me post them in any order I have nicely laid out with my clever text so here goes so pics and maybe some captions!!
Olivia in her Jazz costume for pictures and now it won't let me add any more pictures so I will have to make another entry WHOO HOO goood times - by the way she is 12 now and has all the attitude that comes with it!

We're so glad when Daddy comes home!

Ruben FINALLY came home after being in LA for 34 days working. I had told the kids that he would be home on Saturday so imafgine their surprise when they heard the roar of his diesel truck on the side of the house at 6:03 p.m. on Friday night!! They were scrambling to find their shoes to get outside to get their daddy it was priceless. We have been breaking down one by one here at home wanting our daddy and I don't think we would've lasted a moment longer we are super happy he's home!!!

BbBRrr......

I heart my remote starter for my truck!

November in a Nutshell

Lila turns 6 months old on Monday!!


She started eating Cereal, and loves it. She also eats every vegatable I offer her.

We made these adorable clay-pot indians and Pilgrims!

Lastly I am grateful for a wonderful family, great friends and the blessings I recieve daily from the atonement. OOh & my yummy trifle!

What have I been up to??

Not much of this...


Well it seems like there is always so much going on in our household.
Mondays- dance
Tuesdays - dance
Wendsdays- scouts
Thursday- whew nothing
Friday- catch my breath and prepare for Saturday.
Then on top of all this I work for 5 hours, do my errands come home- cook dinner - take care of Lila, help Nicky and Olivia with homework and try to keep up with the housework. I really am not complaining, Just sharing!! The weeks seem to fly by and I feel like I am on a hamster wheel, just going and going, when does it end? OH yeah Summer. Too bad we've got quite a while!


Question???
Why does Heavenly Father let our babies grow up so fast?
Lila had a DR.'s Appt. yesterday and she is 14 lbs. 25 in long and almost 5 mo. old- Where did it go?
Enjoy a few random pics!!

Whew.. Where did September go???

September came and went in the blink of an eye for me....

We had the first day od school...
Olivia is now a big bad 6th grader....





Nicky is now a 3rd grader.....And Lila is going to the most wonderful day care..... Where the kids are so excited to see her and she is well cared for!

Lila turned 4 mos old on the 30th and is quite the little sweetie.... She likes to be a "big girl " and be with whoever is around. She was beading with the kids one day.. well she was knawing on her Bumbo seat cause well she can't bead yet!

She's got a pencil and is ready to go!

September was so crazy fast!! The big kids auditioned for the Nutcracker and made it. They will be dancing with the Oregon Eugene Ballet Co. in December!!! I am so proud of them and can not wait to see the performance! Hopefully I will have a new camera by then. (hint hint Ruben)

I am so grateful for fall and can't wait till more great stuff happens so I can post!

Oh what do you do in the summertime?

This summer has flown by.......

June rainy and icky.....

July hot and sticky.......

August just right but way too short....

Some of the things we did......

Nicky Likes to jump off the ramp and only crashed 3 billion times and used 2 boxes of bandaids

Olivia learned to rollerblade...

and Lila likes her stroller, and going for rides......

So far we've had a pretty nice summer. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for the week in Monmouth!

Oh what do you do in the summertime

How do you make a tissue dance?

You put a little boogie in it!

Lila has her 1st cold and she is not not too fond of the boogie sucker

Since I have kinda figured this out I thought I would post some random pics of Olivia And Nicky

Super Special Weekend

Lila going home! Daddy and Lila day 1

Lila finally home.

Daddy and Nicky right before the big moment

Well the first weekend in July was super amazing! Not only was it the 4th of July, It was also the day my son Nicky got baptized! The very next day we were able to bless our beautiful baby Lila. Such an amazing weekend!

So I Finally figured out how to upload Pics!! Yea!! Here are some of my favorites of Lila. That isn't a scratch on her eye, it is a stork bite that should fade over time.

Lila..Lila...Lila

Well I can hardly believe it has almost been 1month since she was born.( 1 day shy)
I can barely believe she is here, she is ours and we get to keep her. She is so stinkin cute and I can hardly get the big kids to leave her alone. We are adjusting wonderfully I think? The sleep deprevation thing is not as bad as I had prepared myself for, and while I think about it people might think I am nuts but, labor with her was a breeze. I got a super epidural and took a good 3 hour nap. Woke up, the doc broke my water and 15 minutes and 3 pushes later- enter Lila Antionette Garcia- 6lbs 10 oz- 21" long She came out screaming and was healthy and able to stay with us. A first for the Garcia babies. We are so blessed to have her sweet screaming spirit in our home.

Happy Happy Halloween!!

Well it is Halloween and I think the kids just might be excited. They are finally big enough to want to go and Trick or Treat house to house and I believe by george they can do it this year- Nicky yesterday for the church party was a bunch of grapes, Olivia was a hula girl. They both have decided to be something different tonight. I promise to post pictures as soon as I can figure out how the heck to do it. I guess I should go hang out with my sister for a few- Hopefully we'll all make it through the sugar comas this weekend!!!

The Lord hears our prayers

Well Friday our ward was going to the Temple after the youth did baptisms and I really, really wanted to go, I was trying to figure out different options, people to go with etc.. Well Ruben thought we couldn't go because he had to work, anyhow I prayed that if I was supposed to go we would find a way. Well after crying to a friend on the phone I took my children to the park to enjoy the crazy beautiful weather when Ruben calls me "Come home , let's go to the Temple" I was so excited!!! So we hurried to get showered and dressed and on our way. Well we were running a little late and so we missed the session, but were able to do some sealings. What a joyous wonderful evening. I am so grateful for the temple and the blessings we recieve from it.

First time's the charm.....

Well this is my very first attempt at blogging and everyone says how easy it is. We'll see. April said I really needed to start this blog since we are expecting baby #3, that's right the lord thought we needed to expand our family so he is sending us a special little "surprise", The kids are pretty excited and can hardly wait to hold love and spoil a little one. It is a really good thing we are pregnate for so long, I think I will need each and every day to prepare for the birth!! UUGGHH I had almost forgotten about that whole labor thing. Oh well got a while to sike myself up for that one.
