And The Baby Is . . .

That's right - it's a girl!! We went to the doctor on Thursday, July 10th (Juan's birthday!) and the nurse was looking at everything, she said it all looks normal and good. Then she said, "You wanna know what it is?" and I said, "Of course!" She said, "There's no sign of outdoor waterworks, it's a girl!" We're so excited to finally be able to call her a name. Her name will be Sierra Nicholle Silva, I love it! There's some more pictures of her below. The first one is a foot, the second one is her profile, and the third one is her face looking out the screen to say hello! "Hi baby! Can't wait to see you in November!" And of course, the fourth picture is some cute little things I got her - so it begins!! lol

"A Walk Down Memory Lane"

I copied this from my sister-in-law's blog. Memory Lane, here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll email my memory to you, just let me know.

Whatever you can remember about me - funny, strange, cool, embarrassing, awful, etc. leave it in the comments! Thanks for playing!

Sarelle's family videos

I just wanted to tell everyone that Sarelle has posted some family videos on youtube. If you go to youtube and type sarelled in the search box, it'll bring up her cute family videos, they're fun to watch. I sure miss those guys!! Can't wait to see 'em at Thanksgiving! There's a link to youtube on my faves list on the right! Also, be sure to try out my new game at the bottom of the page. You have to create a chain reaction and you just get one click each round, so make it a good one and click in a spot where there is a lot of dots, or where you think they're going. Takes a little practice but you'll get it. I love games - speaking of which, when we having another game night?!

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!!

Can't have the fourth without...FIREWORKS!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday, and that you got to see some cool fireworks. We did! Our day began at the crack of dawn in Provo to watch the annual hot air balloon launch: (And as you can see, Juan is WIDE awake!)

It was a beautiful morning! Not too cold and not too hot - - yet!

Next, it was off to watch the Provo parade!

And after that, we went with my mom, Dave and Juan's friend, Juan, to play a friendly round of mini golf! Some people in our group were able to get a hole in one.

And finally, to end a perfectly busy, but fun day, we went to see some fireworks. That always makes a good ending! I hope everyone had as much fun as we did! And now...Juan is all tuckered out! He's off taking a nap! ...zzZZ

P.S. 5 days til we find out the baby's gender - YAY!!

"A Gift From God"

We went to the Orem Summerfest in June and as we were passing some of the booths, I saw this booth full of paintings and stopped because I saw this painting of Christ holding a little baby entitled 'A Gift From God' and I just stared at it for a long, long time, I loved it so much! It's such a beautiful painting, and the guy at the booth gave me a little card with this picture on it and I put it in my purse and take it everywhere, I just love it. I kind of feel that way right now, that the Lord is watching over my sweet baby before it comes to me. I just wanted to share that. This picture is amazing, and you can go to http://www.hegsted.com/ to see more of his stuff.

Scattergories!

I got this fun thing in my email and I thought I would post it here! If you've ever played this game for real, it's so fun! I love it! You have to shake a die and the letter it ends up on, you have to go down the list and name things on that list with that letter, and if you can come up with a double word with the same letter, you get more points. For example - say the letter you shook was M. One item on your list is "cartoon character". If you put Mickey Mouse, you get two points! Anyway, that's the gist of it. (Is that how you spell gist?) hehe. I'm posting my answers, as well as some of the other answers that I've gotten back, it's fun! And if you want to do it too, go right ahead! On to the good stuff!

S'mores night!!

We had such a fun s'mores night at Cam and Shayna's house last night, I wanted to post some pictures of it. Blake had a ball trying his hand at roasting marshmallows, then eating them afterwards. Yum! There's a picture of Juan eating his very first s'more! Looks like he enjoyed it! All the kids had a great time playing on the tramp too. It's so funny to watch Blake play on the tramp, he's so cute. We have such cute little kids in our family! Can't wait to add my own to the mix!





Yummy!

You can just read his face - "mmmm, heavenly!" hehe
