Mother's Day

I had an amazing Mother's day! Thanks to Jacob, Malachi, & Hannah!

I finally got a sewing machine!!! I'm so excited! I have many projects in line already! Can't wait.When I lived in Provo I was able to borrow Tammy or Kristell's sewing machine. But now I live far, far away and that is not an option. So I am VERY happy to have one. I will post pictures later.

I also had a very delicious treat! Sweet Cream & Strawberries ice cream cake. It was very delicious! I'm always tempted to buy a quart of this ice cream when we're at Marble Slab and take it home. So Jacob thought it would be a good idea to have that cake.

Jacob cooked breakfast and dinner. Dinner, he made Chicken Marsala with pasta & mango slices on the side.

Like a quilt, though I did get two beautiful ones from sisters in my ward. Wash clothes, bibs, etc. I just have to find time for it now. I got a Singer. Love it! I'm not much of a sewer but I'm learning. I figured it can't be that hard right? I'll learn as I go!; May 19, 2011 at 12:14 PM

Our Story

Jacob and I met with the help of my uncle, David Martinez. My uncle was the bishop of a ward Jacob served in during his mission. He gave Jacob my cell phone number, or so Jacob thought, during a phone call Jacob had with him after his mission. I had already met Jacob during his last two weeks of his mission, Norma introduced us, because his last area was my home ward. Jacob and I started hanging out in Provo when Fall school semester started at the Y. And that's how it all started.

Jacob and I were married on June 2, 2007 in Dallas, Texas.

We lived in Provo, UT while both of us finished school on April 2010. Jacob majored in Sociology and I graduated in Chemistry.

We lived on the East Coast, Delaware to be exact, for almost 2.5 years! We enjoyed it. Made some amazing friends! I loved the warm, mild climate and all the green trees! I guess because it reminds me of good ole' Texas.

We recently moved to Frisco, Texas. And are loving the area!!

We have a 5 year old boy who's into action figures and loves music. He will start kindergarten this Fall 2013 and is learning to read. He is good at math. He has the most charitable heart and is the best big brother a sister could have.

Hannah "banana," like we call her, is 2! She is into action figures just as much as her brother. We are slowly introducing her to Disney princesses and is a Little Mermaid fan. She loves to mimic her brother and follow him everywhere. She is my drama queen and the one that tests my patience the most.

Rachel is such a mellow baby. She is coming up to 7 months. She is my big baby! She is starting to become more interactive and sits up on her own. She is sleeping through the night and slowly eating solids. Her routine consists of eating, sleeping, and exploring the world. As long as she's fed and diaper cleaned she is content.
