Turning 27

I really need to catch up on my posts! So most of these next posts will be more pictures than words but oh well.

For my birthday we started the day with eating at Paradise Bakery.

Then Jacob and I went go-karting. It was fun and I'll admit a bit nerve wrecking. We had my parents watch the kids at my place while we went out.

The go karting place was here near our house. It was called Pole Position Raceway. Check out their website here. It was a 10 lap race. Before we got on the karts we had to watch a video basically stating that we were liable for any accident that occurred. Yikes! Thanks for that viewing before I get in the kart. But besides that it was really fun! And I'm glad we tried something different and exciting. We then went out to eat at a Brazilian churrasqueria. Like always delicious but there's nothing like Tucanos!

Then we headed home and had cake with my parents and siblings. The hispanic tradition is that after they sing to you and you blow out the candles. You take a bite of the cake. Where they then smash your face into the cake. Well Jacob was kind enough to that. Haha. Hannah did not like it one bit. She was startled and cried her little heart. Especially after seeing my face with icing all over.

It was nice to celebrate my birthday with my family around!! It had been a while since that! And I am grateful that I was able to do that!

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.
