Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Fun Shopping

Santa was so cute and my kids were surprised and didn't know what to think about it. :)

Our Thanksgiving was great we went to Jared's house (kurt's brother) and it was full of people, food and kids, Garrett and Ethan had so much fun playing with their cousins. No pictures sorry. Then after the food we went bowling and Garrett had a blast!!!

BLACK FRIDAY!!!

Even though I have all of my shopping done I went to Disney Store to try to see if they had any sales on the MACK toy (from Cars movie) well to my surprise was that it was 50% off plus I took 20% more off, it was great, then I was not in a good mood to go and look for more sales, then at 3 PM we got family pictures with Kurts Dad and Mom, the place was OK, we have not seen the pictures yet, but I hope they turn good at the end.

Saturday 28th.

On our family home evening we decide writting a letter to Santa Clause and then I wait until saturday to go and take it to Macys in University mall, you can see Garrett and Ethan happy about it. Then we went to See Santa and the only thing that Garrett wants for christmas is MACK and Ethan was saying the same thing like Garrett, it was funny to hear them.

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

My kids that make me so proud to be a mom, I am thankful to be a mother, Wife, sister and a friend! and to have people that are loyal and honest to me!!!

And Very thankful to have the best husband ever, Honestly my poor Kurt which will help me with everything at home now, I have to be honest now that he is just going to school him and my mom help me so much that I hardly do something at home when I come from work, I am bless to have angles around my family and me that constantly are blessing me with their service! Amazing on how our money has been the same since Kurt has been without a job, the blessing of Tithing has always been a strong testimony to me and my mom. I am thankful to have two beautiful BOYS which every day breaks my heart to leave them at home, and just while I am leaving the garage to go to work they are on the door saying GOOD BYE MOM!! my eyes gets with tears right away, the bless that they are both healthy and strong to hardly get sick.

Thankful to be able to have my sisters, mom and brother close to me, which they are the best in the whole world. To have my mom with me and supporting me in everything, to be able to have the best babysister ever where my kids can be safe and secure at their own home, Love you mom!!! And bless to belong to the Antonino's family too, no matter what, they are always there to help us out, when we had a need.

Thankful to have a great job even though I don't like what i do, but I am thankful to have one. Thankful to have a beautiful home, a car, food and to be in America! Thankful too for having family and friends like YOU!!!!!!!!

Kurt is 28 now, I have to say that Kurt looks older than me and that makes me happy, cause I look yonger :). Honey Happy Birthday!!! I couldn't do a big birthday party cause it was the TCU-BYU game that day, and like ALL of you know the Antonino's boys are fans of football, which it drives us (all women) nutts, because I can not plan nothing when we have home games. So, here are some pictures of family only on Kurt's birthday party.

Thanks to everybody that came! honesetly it was fun to see all of you again.

Halloween party in the neighbor streets.

Garrett this year is going to be Buzz lightyear, so funny cause when he saw the custom he start saying that he did not like it at all, he didn't want to wear the custom at all, so we decide going to the party with evebody was wearing their custom, after he saw that he run to the house and asked Kenny to dress him up, then he was a happy camper and me too :)

Look how cute they both look. Ethan mad about the monkey hat, look at his face, not to sure about it.

My little monkey, he was fine with the custom until the hat part, but he left his hat for a long time, he also looks cute.

Ethan portty train??

Probably my Ethan will kill me when he is older to post this picture, but I thought it is so cute and I am so happy for him to always tell us when he wants to go pee. After Garrett told me that he need it to go potty, Ethan came later and said mom pee pee, and Kurt took him to the bath. he is so cute. And no he is not yet potty train yet, he just pretends he is ready.

My Birthday was on Oct. 5th. MONDAY and I had to work late that day.... Like most of you know how much I LOVE B-day Parties, they are very important to me to have, but this one that I knew was coming I was not sure about it, Honestly i got butterflies everytime I think about the age 30, make me nervous, anxious, and i thought that a HUGE change was coming on me, and It was not lossing my weigth :) it was more like, I will died that day, or I will have wrinckles all over my face and body, hahaha Funny uh!

So.... On oct. 5th i wake up and I said the prayer, then I strech making sure not bones where broken, then I went to the bathroom and look at the mirror to see if I have wrinckles or more gray hair or any deffect, nothing mayor on me, which it was good, then I was just making sure that Kurt was still on the bed on my side and YES he was, and my two boys where sleep like angels, so I made it, I pinch my self making sure I was not dreaming and NOP!!! I made it, then I cried for a little bit, 30 for some reason hit me hard. hahaha.

So, This is what Kurt did to me on My Birthday I woke up and he woke up too, and said "Hon you made it, happy birthday" and he went back to sleep, Yes you are right not hug and not kiss. then nothing else for the rest of the day on his side... So, I go to work and my favorite friend from work KAT brought me some ballons and a bag of chocolate and a card, she made my day, then went to the PRovo City fair at the mall and I was off at 8 PM drive home and Kurt has clean the WHOLE house and made dinner for me... and that is all i did on my big 30!

SO, when I thought that everything was over and that kurt did not make a big deal on my birthday i was dissapointed, but on Oct. 10th 5 days after my birthday I got kinda like Surprise Party from my sister, brother, mom and Kurt it was the best party ever Kurt has plan with help, he planned it to be Guatemalan food, which it was the best and I was a little surprise how Kurt's family and friends love the food, we made 65 Rellenitos, 60 Chuchitos and 100 tostadas and ALL was gone, I didn't even try the food because I was to busy talking...! I was very happy to see all this people that came to my birthday and made a HUGE deal for my Birthday, THANKS, THANKS guys you made my 30th birthday the best!!1 Made me feel like a princess and not old!

Here are a few pictures from the party. Kurt I love you and thank you to the rest of my family.

P.S. Sorry for the mess on this post, but I don't know how to fix it. :)

Inspired Word.

This words are helping me now.

Philosopher and spiritual leader Neal A. Maxwell wrote, “God loves us and, loving us, has placed us here to cope with challenges which he will place before us. I'm not sure we can always understand the implications of his love, because his love will call us at times to do things we may wonder about, and we may be confronted with circumstances we would rather not face. I believe with all my heart that because God loves us there are some particularized challenges that he will deliver to each of us. He will customize the curriculum for each of us in order to teach us the things we most need to know. He will set before us in life what we need, not always what we like. And this will require us to accept with all our hearts--particularly your generation--the truth that there is divine design in each of our lives and that you have rendezvous to keep with destiny, individually and collectively.”

For me, God has been extremely generous, kind and loving. I am surrounded by such love and support from family. Honestly I was scared of what is coming next. Just hopping that we don't have to leave our beutiful house that my husband build with so much effort and love for us. Everything will work out right??

What's NEXT ??

Well, we have not have a good week. Yesterday Kurt have an accident where the CHEVY truck is trash now :( . Gary (kurt's dad) was saying that when the trials come they come in group, so, so far 2 we have, what is next?? hope that we can be able to survive and that Kurt can find a job soon and that we can be able to buy a new truck for him, and that we can be able to find a renter soon for the apartment..... We need your prayers please. :)

COUPONS are not too bad!

Ok let me tell you what I did yesterday! In Smith at Provo, they were having a big sale on diapers, Huggies, Pampers and pull Ups. So, on my lunch break I went overthere and they where all gone, so I call Walmart, spoke with a manager and explain the whole sale at Smith and told her that the Jumbo package of huggies and pampers were 7.49 and the pull up 4.49 and I told her that I didn't have an add to prove it, but if they will match price! She told me that yes but she need it to call the store, so she did, and a few minutes later she toold me that if I had any problems at the cashier, to ask for her, that she will approve my purcharse! What a neat deal don't you think??

Well here is the better deal, so I have been collecting coupons, so I had 7 coupons of 1.50 each on one diaper on huggies, and I had 5 of 2.00 off on Pull ups, so I really got every diaper for Huggies 5.99 and pull ups for 2.49 so, now I am stock with diapers for awhile, even I start buying for the third baby . (I am not Pregnant)
