The Changes of Life......

It is amazing how from the moment we are conceived all of the incredible changes that we go through. Having three boys, I know that my life is going to be full of crazy and exciting changes.

Since Erico is the oldest of all the boys, he will get to experience many changes before his brothers. For example, in less than the nineteen days that we have had in the month of June, Erico has transformed. See pictures below.

And this last picture is from June 17, 2007 (Father's Day) (The other top front tooth)


I love seeing the changes that losing teeth has on a person's face. But if he looses anymore teeth by the end of the month (which he shouldn't), the "Tooth Fairy" will go broke!

I love you Erico and you are an amazing kid and an awesome son.....

My Husband.........


I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I appreciate my husband. Yes, it is true that sometimes he can REALLY drive me crazy as I know I do the same to him, but overall, he is such an AWESOME HUSBAND!

I can run through so many things that make him such an incredible man, husband and dad, but it might bore a few.

Gil, I love you very much and want to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to us as your family and to our house! We have been through many hurdles over the past ten years and we might have stumbled over a few, but we keep getting up and pushing forward.

Our 7 year anniversary just past on June 6th, and even though we did not go out to do anything special. Just having another year with you is special enough to me.... We have love and that is enough to keep me wanting to stay together forever.
Love,
Jodie

Family Update..

Well, it has been about one month since I have last posted to my blog. A lot has happened since my last post. We are almost finished with our renovations, we only have a few things to complete and then I can say GOODBYE to the dust bunnies. One thing that I have never liked to do is dust and I think I have to clean dust off of everything at least twice a day.

Erico and Elkin had their last soccer game in May, Erico is out of school. He is on his way to the 2nd grade. I am now going to be working for my mom only from the house, unless I have to go into the office. I am so thankful that I can still work from home and bring in some money, and to be able to be home with the boys instead of them having to go to a daycare type place, because right now, it would be too much for our wallets.

As far as the house, we finished putting the rest of the chair rail and crown molding in the formal living and dining room, Roberto and one of his workers painted the two rooms while Gil and I were at our semi final soccer game, which went to penalty kicks and I missed my two shots on goal, so needless to say we did not advance to the finals, but we had a very good season overall. Muchisimas Gracias a Roberto por tu ayuda pintando los dos cuartos durante el partido y tambien muchas gracias a la Abuelita para cuidar a los ninos.

The laminate floors were installed on Wednesday and now we just have to finish the touch up painting and installing the rest of the doors, and then take a break to get ready for Erico's 7th birthday on the 20th of this month!

Also, I am trying to come up with some ideas for a business that I can run from home and I have had some good feed back from the few that I have told, and I will run it by a few more people to get some more ideas and to get some help to get the ball rolling on my ideas.

Here is a slide show of some of our events during this month. Hope you enjoy....

Love always, Jodie
