Update on Bella! :)

Bella is having sooo much fun in Brasil! We get to talk to her couple times a day on the phone! :) She goes to school for 5 hours every day, gets to hang out with the whole family and is learning a lot of Portuguese. She tries to speak only in Portuguese with me on the phone, so cute! :) My dad says that she kisses a picture of Jared and I every night and says she really misses mommy and daddy! My family loves having her around them so much and yes Bella is loving being the center of attention! We miss you, Bella!

Day Out With Thomas

Jackson and I went on our first mommy and son date! :) We did the day out with Thomas. Beth and Nelson also joined us. We took a train ride with Thomas the tank engine, they played on the imagination station, the boys got tattos and they had a petting zoo with all these animals that the kids could brush it. The boys had a blast and I am soooo happy I could spend a mommy and son day with Jackson! I loved looking at your face and seeing all the exciment and fun you were having during the day! Love you, Jackson

Jackson got mail!

Jackson was sooo excited to open his package he got from grandpa and grandma Sotelo. He loved his Spiderman card and all the t-shirts he got for his b-day. Daddy got jealous though when he saw that Jackson got a Griffey shirt when he doesnt have one! :) Thank you sooo much grandpa and grandma Sotelo!

Happy B-day, Jackson!

Happy 2nd b-day, Jackson! His b-day was yesterday, the 20th but because of Bella not being able to make it to yesterday's celebration we also celebrate on sunday! What a lucky boy, huh? Jared and Bella baked a cake on sunday and I tried to decorate it. First and last time, haha ... We had a little get together on sunday and then yesterday we went to Chuck E Cheeses with family and friends. It was soooo much fun! Jackson had a blast. He loved all his presents soo much that the first thing he told me when he came in to our room this morning was that he wanted to play with his toys he got from his b-day. We love you sooo much Jackson and you have been a blessing in our lives! Keep being this sweet little boy you have been! Love, mom, dad and Bella!

Good bye! :(

Today Bella and Vava left to Brazil! :( Oh boy, I usually get pretty sad when my mom leaves after her stay but today I had to see her and Bella go. I know I will see them in a few weeks when we go to Brazil but holly cow do we miss them already. Bella gave tons of hugs and kisses to Jack at the airport and kept saying bye Jack, bye Jack but it wasnt until they started walking towards security that they kept getting further and further from us that Jackson realized they were leaving. He started crying so sad and asking for Bella. I kept telling him that we would meet with Bella soon and that we would be ok. When we got home thats when it hit me the most that Bella was gone now! :( I miss my little girl soooo much already. For those of you that dont know, my mom took Bella back with her and then in a few weeks Jackson and I are flying to spend a month in Brazil. Bella is going to preeschool and is already enrolled in Ballet classes. She is going to have sooo much fun with my family and learn sooo much Portuguese! I cant wait to hug her and give tons of kisses in a few weeks! We are going to miss you, Bella! Enjoy all your family that loves you so much in Brazil! Love ya!

Lunch with Great Grandma!

Jackson and I went to the Huntsman Hospital today to spend time with grandma Hildebrand. We went to her doctor's visit and then had lunch together. She is doing good and like always she hasnt changed a bid! Happy, positive, funny and sweet. We love you, grandma!

Mother's Day Weekend Getaway!

We all spent Mother's Day weekend at Homestead, Midway! If you havent been there, its sooo beatiful and relaxing! The kids loved it! My sweet mom stayed with the kids in their own room so Jared and I could sleep in! It was weird to not wake up at 7 am and do mommy duties. We woke up around 9 am and I rushed to their room wanting to cuddle with them cause I had missed their wantings and sweet hugs that I get every morning from them! :) I love being a mom!

A mother is not a person; she's a miracle!

We want to thank and wish a special Mother's Day to two wonderful mothers in our lifes. That would be my dear mom and Jared's mom. You two have been an example of unconditional love and sacrifice that we will never forget. Thank you for all the memories you have given us and all the teachings you have taught us. We love you and thank you forever! You two are beatiuful inside and out! XOXO, Jared and Mylene
Oh, and yes on the picture with my mom I was 7 months pregnant! :)

A Walk To Remember!
