Bull Fight

Well, we have gone to a bull fight in a town just 15 minutes away from us. It was very interesting and we even had a guy at the fight explain many points of it. We had fun with our friends. When done right it is very artistic.

First Time at Mexico Temple

This is Marissa's first time going to a Temple to do baptisms for the dead. Charles took her and Tonya to the Mexico City Temple. Charles was able to participate in the baptisms and confirmations for Marissa. What a special memory they have together. They had lunch in the cafeteria on the church grounds and Marissa will tell you the best part was the cake.

Mexico Decor

Charles and I have had a few items made here but this is my favorite. We had the box man make and paint this for us. It has all the places we have been to in each arch. The arches are the symbol for Queretaro. There are the flowers, cactus, trees and butterflies all know very well to this area. The rest of the things we have bought, well, you will just have to come visit us to see them .

Back to School

The first day of school for Joshua, Rachel, and Emmalee was on Monday, Zachary's birthday. Zachary started two days later on Wednesday and Marissa started on Thursday. It was wonderful to have them all in school. I found myself alone in the car on Thursday after dropping them off with the weird feeling like I had forgotten something. The kids love their teachers and have lots of friends. Zachary's teacher is Miss Lupita. We love listening to him when he says her name. All the kids are doing very well with the Spanish language. Marissa practiced all week on her locker combination and had no problem with it her first day of school. She enjoyed putting up pictures and decorations.

Happy Birthday Zachary!!!

Zachary's 3rd birthday happened a month ago. He had lots of fun. Zachary was excited he turned three because he was now able to go to school like his brother and sisters. SO BIG!!! His first day of school was two days later. He loves school and has the best teacher ever.
