ACCEPTED!

Acceptance Letter.

Well look out Southern Utah University Aarika got accepted. Yikes! She was so happy when so got the mail today and low and behold there was a letter addressed to her from SUU. She was a little scared to open it but did so very quickly and then said "Yes I got accepted to SUU." Then she called her dad and he was very happy for her. I am proud of her and her choices she has made and for her desire to go to college. Its going to be a shock for us all not to have her around everyday and I know I will miss her greatly but I am very happy for this time in her life I know it was a wonderful time for me when I was in college. Those were some of the most fun times of my life and I can't wait for her to experience those same things. She is so smart and she will be successful in whatever she does. She wants to be a teacher and I know she will be a great one, she has actually wanted to be a teacher from the time she was small. Congratulations Aarika we are proud of you.

Mikeala's Fifteenth Birthday

Mikeala and her daddy she was two weeks old.The kids always get to go to dinner for their birthdays with us and friends and she choose her sisters to go out with her. So cute.That is just like Aarika her and Mikeala have a really close relationship and its so nice because it wasn't always like that. I love sisters.

She got an Ipod touch for her birthday. I told you she was expensive.

Her Grandma Suzanne made her favorite cake, white cake with fresh strawberries in the middle and real whipped cream frosting. YUM YUM

Fifteen years ago I became a mother again of another beautiful little girl. Mikeala Renea Gonzales was born on January 29th at 7:50p.m. weighing in at 8lbs. and 20 1/2 inches long. She was so sweet and beautiful and still is. She is such a good girl and I am honored to be her mother. Mikeala definitely has some funny comments that keep us all laughing and always in Mikeala fashion whether they are wanted or not. Speaking of fashion she is most definitely the fashion queen of the family I hope whoever marrys her can afford her because she is not cheap. But she is still the kind of girl who will go out in sweats and a ponytail or basketball shorts and t-shirt. I love her so much and am so glad she is part of our family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEALA RENEA!!!!

Baby Gabriel Visit

Well I am a little behind in my posts so I am catching up today. A couple of weeks ago on a thursday Jan. 22nd to be precise I took Aarika up to SUU in Cedar City to apply for college and look around at the campus. It was alot of fun and sad at the same time, I just can't believe she is going away to college this year. It makes me feel old. Well anyway we stayed with my sister and brother in law and I got to spend some time with my new nephew Gabriel. He is sooo cute, I just wish he wasn't so far away. But hey if Aarika gets accepted then all the more reason for me to visit. We had alot of fun and my sister is such a great mom, not the paranoid type and she is doing such a good job. Gabe is definitely teaching her patience but I guess every new mom learns that really fast. He is soo darn cute I know I already said that but I just love him to pieces and I can't wait for him to come visit. Well here are some pictures. I know you will all agree when I say how cute he is.
