Fall break and Belle's Birthday :)

Our month of October was very busy but it was great!!

1-I have been trowing or giving baby things away, since Sam is my last baby

it is kind of nice to get rid of the things we do not need anymore.

He sits on a chair at the table instead of a high chair.

2-The kids and I ready to watch General Conference. I love to stay at home and relax listening to

the talks. I had so many favorite ones...

The kids were also out for a whole week for fall break.

We spent time at home, relaxing, watching movies and enjoying waking up a little later.

We also took trips to our favorite places to eat, ice cream/frozen yogurt shops,

our friends pools or simple games with a good old hose on the trampoline.

The kids had fun and I loved the break :)

I woke up craving "empadao de frango" today. I had all of the ingredients and voila...it was delicious!

1-Sam brings me the diaper and wipes when he wants to be changed. lol

2-Belle at her exact birthday. She turned 10 on 10/10.

As you can tell looking at her picture, she looks like and acts as a young women.

On 2002 I tried to make Belle's first birthday cake and it was a disaster. I tried to make a butterfly cake and it looked so bad that I vowed to myself to never make another birthday cake to any of my kids.

Since then I have been buying them ready because I believe I was not born to make cakes. Fact.

This year Belle asked me to bake some of my cupcakes and I said yes but don't worry because for her birthday celebration, the cake will be mad by someone else. :)

Dear Yochabelle:

I cannot believe you are 10 already. I know I say that every year but it is

what I really feel. Time is going by to fast and even tough

I enjoy and I am very thankful for your help and maturity

I still remember when I saw you for the first time.

You changed my life forever Belle.

I will never forget how fast I fell in love with you and how much I love you now.

To me, you will always be that baby that was smaller than a little doll.

You grew in me and I decided to keep you.

FOREVER.

Love you, Mom.
