I don't want this feeling to go away

Days at home were also AMAZING. Just doing nothing feels good. One day, Talia and Sandro cooked papa rellena until we felt like hippos, then we played UNO. Our new favorite siblings’ game + Andrew + Sandro (sometimes, “Sandrew” to name both of them).

Aside from parents, my siblings are one of the FUNNEST thing to have. Somehow, we always get our goofiest sides and we no longer are 26, 24, 21, 17 or 11. We are all just one age (not sure what specific age though, I guess it depends: D) and start having fun like there’s no tomorrow. We like to tell jokes and sometimes make fun of each other in a silly way. We love each other so much. Andrew and his siblings are silly when they get together too. We come from big families and we don’t want just one child, he/she would get bored TO DEATH! We want at least 4… 5 if possible. Many people say that I will change my mind when I give birth to my first child haha, but if my momma did it, I can do it too! I want to have many children and I want them to enjoy each other and have as much fun as I did when growing up and as I am even though I’m far away from most of them.
I love my siblings!!! And I love it when my dad says, “Somos una familia numerosa”

Nuestro juego favorito: UNO!

Bajamos la tele a la sala para jugar Wii con todos

Creo que estas fotos son de otro dia... otra vez jugando UNO jajaja... nos quedabamos hasta tarde!

Talia, "Omg, I only have one card, this has to be it!"

Sad... I had a lot of cards, I always lost :(

 

 

I love my sister Talia because she is so smart, she gets A’s in all her classes and I am so proud of her. She just has the dearest feelings towards others and I am amazed on how patient especially with children. She always tries to be better and is an example for us. She always helps me and others unconditionally; for example, right before we were about to come to Utah, Talia and Sandro helped us picked something that Andrew needed. I was surprised on how hard they looked around and how much effort they put in that. Thank you!

My bro Wilo is such an example too. He just came back from his mission and started his summer semester right after 2 weeks of his arrival. He got all A’s even though he thought he wouldn’t do it. He always tries to live the Gospel and I think he is the one who laughs the most with me. We would watch these videos over and over again (for around 15 times) in slow and fast motion and still laugh at the 15st time as much as we laugh in the 1st time.

Estela is just a pure example of hard work. She always gets things done. ALWAYS! I look up to her because she is so young, yet, so responsible. I love how determined she is and how smart she is. You can talk to her about any topic and she would know and if she doesn't, she dives into the conversation so much and soaks the information you have and still can develop a high quality conversation.

Joshito is the baby of the house, I love him because he is always smiling. No matter what. There was one time that I was teasing him and he said, "Don't, I am in a bad mood." It surprised me! But after literally 3 minutes and 42 seconds he was so happy already. I wish my bad mood changed that quick!

I love my siblings! :)


One Sunday, our family invited the missionaries for lunch...

Talia always offers to help cook. 

Confused

Mama y Monjita

Yuquitas fritas

I promise I also helped cook but I always was the one taking the pictures! Plus, there was one time in which Andrew and I decided to impress the family with our German Pancakes, I feel embarrassed to say what happened... but somehow the glass pan cracked and then it broke! The German pancakes were ready to be taken out and Andrew offered to take them out and then after he placed the glass pan on the counter, it broke and we were afraid to eat them because we were scared that there were tiny glass chips in the pancakes.  So, we had to throw the whole thing away :( :(

Conejín!!! this is our dog, LITERALLY

I love Sundays... food... family... no stress, relax... food again... sleeping...
