the last 2 and half months

We have been busy. First we had a baby! this is Max !! Lydia keeps asking if she can walk around and hold him because she is a big girl now! (No thank you.)

Ali is just happy to hold him. And Juan says Yea I like him.

Things are going good, I wake up 3 times with Max and then Juan is waking up around 5. Thanks Juan. So for the first month Luis started sleeping on Juan's floor just to stop him from coming in and waking me up. Thanks hun, love you! He really made the first month so much easier. Then after that we were off on vacation to.........

MAUI !!!

I love Maui, we now have been there twice; and a week is not long enough.

This is were we stopped to eat on our road trip, the road to Hana. It was good food but it just costs an arm and a leg. Oh and the pineapple picture was right in front of this place. I thought it was cute, its a really one.

This is at the end of the road to Hana it was beautiful. Its called The Sacred Pools. The water was a little cold. But the wind was what made it really cold.

When we are driving on that bridge there in the back, on the other side there is another water fall and 4 more pools it's really an amazing place.

This spot was 5 minutes from our hotel its really an amazing place to swim. And there was tons of fish to see. The first fish is my favorite.

The hotel pools were wonderful. The kids loved the play area inside a 1 1/2 foot deep pool. Then there were two water slides.

There is an amazing tree there. I want one in my back yard. I know it looks like lots of trees but they are all one tree.

When it was time to go back home the girls kept saying "forget about the airplane and our home and lets just stay here!" I wish.......

Then we came home and went to a friends wedding, and took family pictures. what do you think?

After that we headed off to Fort Bragg. I wasn't looking forward to it. We were just in Maui were you can swim in the ocean. It felt like bath water. AMAZING!!! Now we are going to the ocean and you don't want to even touch it because its soooooo cold. And sleeping in tents with a two month old not to fun. And Juan waking up right when the sun hits your tent.

Our first morning Juan woke up at 5 and sat up and said "Mommy I wake." Luis rolled over and said "no your not." Juan did go right back to sleep until 8. But the rest of the time he was up around 6:30 or 7. Yeah.

looking at our pictures we didn't take alot so this is what I have. Ali Waking up. Max's napping.

Now we are home and summer is almost over what happened?

snow in Chico and pictures

OK so i am going to just ignore the face that i haven't blogged in 4 months I know sorry. But I have just been busy with life, and so tired. So this is my attempt to start blogging again. Just last week it snowed in Chico, can you believe it, I thought they might close down the schools for it, seeing as how they stopped buses for fog. But snow no they went to school.

But I guess its ok it was only sticking to the grass and durt not the roads.

Ok so now another week has gone by and I still haven't posted this sorry. The family all got sick. Then just when we start to get better, our new cat (which we got 5 months ago)

a little dog got our cat. So now I have to give medicine to our cat too.

I will try to do better but here is some pictures of the kids.

Ali loves to dress up, two or three times a day.

Lydia loves being out side.

and Juan is just into everything and is way to smart for anyones own good.

way behind

I know, I know it has been 2 months. But it feels like just last week. To pick up where I left off Lydia at school, she is still having a hard time with the drop off. But half the time I think it has become a game. Today I walked her into the lunch room and she ran to sit down and eat, I wait until the teacher/lunch lady is there, and Lydia runs over because she knows I leave once she is there,and she said ok I guess you have to walk me over to the teacher. So she clings to my leg (after just sitting down by herself ) and I walk over to the lunch lady she holds on to Lydia and I pull her off of me and I walk out. (What a pill right!) After two months you think it would be over.

Juan is just growing and growing. He is talking so much more now, and he just love Ricky Martin Go go go. The first thing he says in the morning when I go in his room to get him out of his bed, is go go... He is only 20 months old and can already take out his 3 year sister and his 5 year old sister. He isn't potty trained yet but he is starting to tell me when he goes. "Ohh, Ohh, pee pee, pee pee, while he points to his pants. He also just loves his Dad, we just had Dad home for 3 weeks, Thats a lot for us! But oh did we love it. The saddest part was when Luis hard to leave again and Juan walked around the house all day that first day looking for Dada. He would stand at the office door and knock, Dada Dada. Just broke my heart.

Ali just got her first hair cut. Her hair is just so thin and it was down to the middle of her back and just looking stringy. So I cut it just past her shoulders. She loves it! She stands next to Lydia and says "see now we match!" I took pictures but I think they are on Luis's phone. I will have to get the to you next time. Ali love to sing she sings her songs all day and this is s video of one of my favorite ones she sings 'Queen of the Waves'

Other news, About 4 weeks now we were realist from the spanish branch. I was so sad. They are such wonderful people and I truly felt like family there. We are enjoying 2 ward and are starting to get to know people now. Has October gone by so fast for all of you, because it just came and now its almost gone. The kids have asked just about everyday if it was trick or treating time today. Because it falls on Sunday we are not going out. But our ward is putting on a trunk or treat on Saturday, yea, then we still love the spanish branch and we are going to there trunk or treat Friday. Plus Luis's work does trick or treating in the office. So we will have more then enough candy by the end of it all.

more news and why it has taken so long to post anything, we are expecting our 4th baby. Yes thats right baby Lugo 4 will be with us May 1st or you know around there. The first 3 months are hard on me if I wasn't feeling sick I was more tired then I can put in words. I really couldn't even drive more then 20 to 30 minutes or I would fall asleep driving. Now I am past the first trimester and starting to feel a little better, and not as tired. Ali wants so much for the baby to be a girl. She says I have already had a baby boy, and now I want a girl. Lydia wants it to be a boy. She says we already have two girls and we only have one boy so we need another boy so we can have two boys too. Ether way one of them will be happy right! Well Thats all I can think of to up date you for now. I will try to post again soon.

School

School started for Lydia last Wednesday. She loved it! She has two little friends in her class and she was happy and ready to go and learn.

She picked out her first day of school outfit and was so excited.

These are her friends, David the blond one is her "boyfriend" they have been talking about getting married for a long time.

Last Friday I went to pick her up and she came out happy had a great day, and said Im done with school. I said yes for two day and you have two says off but Monday you get to come back. This whole week has been terrible! She doesn't want to go to school. And this whole week I have had to leave her crying and screaming and kicking it has been hard on her and on me. She cries and says please just one more kiss and hug. So I give her just one more. Them through the tears she say wait I have to tell you something, I say ok tell me. She takes a deep breath in and says PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU! The lunch lady who is helping me with her says everyday she cries less. Today was just the same. I told her today was Friday and you don't have to go tomorrow. We will see how Monday goes.

P.S. today on the way to school I saw her sucking her thumb! She has never sucked her thumb! Should I be worried?

She is 3!

I asked Ali what she wanted for her birthday and it was Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and pink. I told her we could do Tinker Bell but I didn't know about Peter Pan. So here is Tinker Bell. She sat on the couch and Tinker Bell had to watch t.v. with her until the party started.

So one of the things I love about birthdays is making the cake. She wanted tinker bell and I have a princess cake pan and I was going to just make it tinker bell. The first cake I made was at 5 o'clock friday night. I poked the cake with a toothpick and it all came out clean so it is cooked right? I let it sit on the counter for half an hour to let it cool, and then I put the tinker bell doll in the cake and it all came out soupy. Soooo, I had to make another cake. Started at 6 I baked it for an hour and 15 minutes. It just wouldn't bake. So I cut all the burnt off and tasted it. It just wasn't good. So I was not going to make another cake. But we had to have a great looking cake, and Ali LOVED it. Yeah!!!!

Ali loves pink, so she LOVED her pink dresses!

And to close the party we had to say goodbye to Tinker Bell. pinatas are great fun.

And now my Ali Walli is 3. Thanks to all who came.
