yes, we are alive and well

I think we are done with the scare so I decided to put my blog back on, not that I use it that much like I said, but oh well!! I better do it more often...

Things are okay, this summer went by really fast, we had a good one, I've been really busy and under a lot of stress at work, things change everyday and it's really really hard to keep up, but I'm still tagging along and doing it... still doing mortgages... the problem is that I really like my job even though it drives me crazy...

Kids are well, Keera loves her pre-school and is getting ready to have her 1st Halloween program, I'm so excited for her... my little girl is growing way too fast. She is such a big helper and a happy girl, so loving... and is into princesses for a change, I mean, which 3 yr old isn't? SHe's way too smart for me, she's learning her vowels in Spanish now and I love it when she speaks Spanish, she's really cute!

Kaeden is also growing too fast... my little boy is a crazy machine... he's a climber now, climbs on the couches, table, chairs, anything really, he loves plugs, I'm so scared about that but every time we are distracted there he is unplugging the baby proof covers and trying to plug something in... He's finally tall enough to open doors, so our baby proof door locks are a great thing if not, he's in the toilet! he's starting to talk more now, it's such a big difference with boys and girls at this age, Keera was talking non stop but Kaeden not so much, making more noises though and trying really hard, he's into books, balloons and loves balls! everything balls he loves! I think his party will be a soccer theme... I'm sure he'd love that!

Things have been crazy in our household lately, lots of drama, stress and stuff if you've wondered but I guess we are okay, at least for now... hehe I don't really want to get into details because it's just too crazy but like I said we are tagging along and hopefully things will get better soon.

Well, that's all for now, hopefully I'll be able to update again soon, if I can get myself out of Facebook when I am in the computer... ha!!

later!
Crisdee

Keera is going to Pre-school...

Just thinking about it seems like it's too soon, well, maybe it is!
We got a package on the mail today with a welcome letter and a shopping list for supplies... crazy!
where is time going? Keera is starting preschool/dance in September... my baby girl is no longer a baby!!

Dia de la Independencia del Peru

We had an awesome time yesterday celebrating Peru's Independence day at our house... I cooked a LOT! I made Ceviche de mariscos, carapulcra, cau cau y seco de carnero... yum! my mom brought arroz con pollo y crema volteada, Lani brought aji de gallina and the Ceja's made peruvian beans... we had a great time eating... you really can cook good Peruvian food here... ceviche was really good according to everybody, I know my family is not the best at compliments, they said it was good so I guess it was... can't wait to make it again when Lalo comes this weekend...

Lalo and Adam are supposed to come to ML this weekend so we can go to a soccer game on Wednesday in Seattle, I guess Barcelona is playing and we are all going, fun! I haven't been to a soccer game in the States yet so should be a new experience.On another note, things are the same, I still have allergies and I am still considering on selling the house. I know, not a good time, but hey, I want to be able to enjoy my house and my yard if I have one. It's not fun to be sick all the time during the summer. NOT FUN! my eyes were bugged me a lot today!Work is work, I'm working... not extremely happy right now but Jared doesn't have a job so I have to be a man and deal with it! I feel like all these changes in Underwriting, new government laws, appraisal problems, not having good help, etc, etc, etc... is giving me such a headache and it doesn't let me like my job so much anymore... which is odd because I used to love my job..! Anyways, better days have to come...
I feel like there is so much going on around me, it's even pointless and so selfish to complain, but this is my blog right? I can cry if I want to... haha

here are some pics from last night... I need to use my camera more often, I do it all with my phone and pics are not that great... sorry, all I got!

no title

I don't really know what to put as a title, I haven't been blogging that much, I enjoy reading so much more and well, I'm into facebook so much, it's kind of an easier way to get in touch with people and see what they are up to! I love technology, I've been able to reconnect and find so many old lost friends, it's so much fun!!

Life is ok, I mean considering, lately I've been in a weird mood, I'm having one of those times to not say days because it's been more than a few days...
It's hard because you know you are being blessed and then you wonder why do I feel so miserable??? oh well... it's life... lately I've been considering a whole lot my current situation and being in Moses Lake, it's been a great place so far, considering, I have a fabulous job, which is hard to find now-a-days, a cute little house, and our kids are growing and happy, my husband on the other hand, doesn't have a job right now, which is no surprise I guess... he was a stay at home dad for most of Keera's life and almost a year into Kaeden's but I guess that got old and he's doing that again now not because it's a choice but becuause we have to... so I'm not all thrilled about that...

Anyways, we went to visit Adam and Heather to Colorado for a little vacation during July 4th weekend and I totally fell in love with Colorado, I felt that there were so many other things to do there, my kids had so much fun with their cousins, my cousin lives there, it didn't feel like I was in Utah and I just wanted to move away from Moses Lake and go there just because, I really really liked it... we really had a great time there... So I'm torn now...

A lot of things have been happening around here, not affecting me personally but emotionally, that makes me sick of living on a small town, also well, I have annoying neighbours that won't talk to you and will call the sherrif because your dog is barking in your own backyard... I mean, my dog barks, I thought that's what dogs do, but she's an INSIDE dog, she goes outside because I'm not going to have her poop all over my house! she needs to go outside she goes out like 3 to 4 times a day, and then sometimes she'll get tangled and bark so we get her untangled (she's not the smartest dog!) so we fix that and get her back in... and for that, I got a visit from the Sherrif at my house, of course he just had to come, he told me he had to do his job, not his fault at all but I figure if people have nothing else to do than to call the police over a barking dog, I guess that explains why my next door neighbour moved so soon, they had a dog that would bark, but I don't ever remembering even thinking about calling the police over that... oh well, Jared thinks I am overreacting, maybe I am who knows, but that's just another thing that makes me not want to be here anymore! I don't like this small town!!! people need to get a life! I miss Lima, so much sometimes!! Anyways, I called my realtor yesterday so maybe just maybe if I can get Jared to agree to sell the house we'll do it... so far no good! he even promised on working on our weeds... hahaha that's another story!!

Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it... i'll try to post pictures when I get home, if I can't get out of MafiaWars... lol
Our kids are just growing so fast, Kaeden is all over the place and getting into all kinds of trouble, Keera was an angel at this age compared to him... he's a real BOY! this morning as I was getting ready he kept going in the toilet, I was so tempted to put his face in the toilet so see if he'll learn I figured that was mean! so I didn't... but I don't know how to keep him away from trouble, baby proofing doesn't work in my house, well, worked with Keera not with sweet Kaeden... he's adorable though...

Ok, gotta go get back to real life! I still love my job eventhough it's very challenging right now... I love helping people get into their homes... it's an awesome feeling! :)

Later! :-)

Our Summer so far...

Disclaimer... lots of more pictures to come...

What are we up to...??

Well, lots and lots of things...

To just cut it short and simple:

Keera: She just turned 3 years old on June 2nd... she had a great time on her bday parties... she actually this year finally realized it was her bday and she was really excited and had been looking forward for June 2nd all along... her party was last week and it was great...
Kaeden and her are going to daycare with Kimber Lybbert and Keera didn't really like it at the beginning but now she loves it... I guess it just takes time for her to get used to daycare, she likes her friends and has fun there... :)
We registered her for TOday's Generation pre-school program and starts in September, she's looking forward to go to dance classes as well as pre-school, she says all the time she's a big girl, my girl has a mind of her own she's a joy to be around but sometimes can be a pain in the you know where...

Kaeden: My sweet little chicken, he's just so much fun, I love him so soooo much, he's funny, loving, he's got the cutest smile and he's lazy too... he doesn't want to walk yet, the worst part of it, he knows how to walk, because he does it whenever he wants to but he can't make up his mind on walking yet, he thinks crawling is faster so... oh well!! just a lazy child I guess... He's now almost 16 months, and he's such a good and happy boy... he sleeps through the night in his own crib, never got attached to a binky, he gives us the most cute and sweet smiles ever!!!
the problem is that he's a boy, he's busy busy, gets in trouble faster than you can say his name, sometimes he just dissapears to only be found where you can't imagine he can be, he loves the toilet (playing on it), loves to harrass poor chiquitita, and also Keera... but he gets smacked too so I don't feel sorry for her... my kids are funny!!!!

Chiquitita: SHe's back at our house, she's a funny dog, but she barks too much, she's spoiled doesn't like to be left alone but she's good, part of the family, she lays on our couches, (never thought I would allow that in a million years!) and is so good with Kaeden and Keera, I know she could just bark and scare the living out of them but she's so good and patient...

Jared: He's unemployed again, and looking for a job, he's dedicated to keeping the house organized right now... that's his job, he loves his guitar and now is learning some hispanic tunes so he can have me sing... his favorite thing to do.. ha! as if I had good voice!

Me: working... and more working it's been crazy at work, with rates going down and then up and then down again and then up again... it's insane, lots of sleepless nights, and I'm addicted to facebook, it's a big problem! I'm in the mafia... hahaha and also taking care of a farm... is the biggest waste of time ever but I have fun!

well, I gotta go for now, will try to update more often....

Michie... out!

asu...

It's been a while, yes, I am alive and well, but I'm busy and tired... no, nothing's changed in our lives other than I have no temp (assistant) again, it's so hard to find good help in this town... I know... I'm demanding but oh well! my business it's not the easiest and it's hard to get used to it...
I love my job though and I'm doing it all at the office with the help of my fab processor and our Spokane support so I'm surviving in this crazy market, everybody wants to refinance and finally it's picking up... great time to purchase a home!
anyways, my kids are great, husband still working, me, getting even more fat, the more pressure I get I eat more... I still have some great candy from Peru so I can't let it get ruined so I'm eating it...

the kids and I went to Colorado to visit the Luna's and we had a great time there, tiring but it was awesome, just to see our kids playing/fighting and all that... I'll post some pics later

Kaeden is still not walking thank goodness... hehe but he's almost there, furniture walking and standing on his own so he's getting closer...
Keera is my gorgeous princess, she's so smart is scary! she makes me smile so much (and makes me angry too sometimes) terrible two's, she'll be 3 on June 2nd and it's looking forward to her tinkerbell party.... oh well

we had a great easter with the Michie's on Saturday and with my family yesterday....

Anyways, Kaeded woke up... gotta go... till next time

FELIZ CUMPLEANOS ADAITO

Today, 31 years ago, I became a big sister, all thanks to my darling little brother Adam

My memory is not all there but as I remember and hear from my mom and family, I was the happiest girl, always wanted to take care of my baby brother, give him loveys, I wasn't intimidated at all, because me being a girl, and him, being a baby I was still the center of attention, so no worries! lol
I remember loving him and giving him his binky and bottle... so cute
So, here is to my brother, that 31 years ago made me a big sister and I'm happy to have you as a brother Adaito, you are great and I wish you all the best that Heavenly Father has in store for you...
