We had a tornado watch today - we did go to the basement for about 30 minutes. Damage was reported as close as Loveland. But everyone/everything seems to be ok.
Benji went Rock climbind for Isaac's birthday (it was so great - Benji has being asking to do it for a long time now)
I got a pedicure! =)

A little more about the wedding
The wedding (the 1st of 3) was VERY nice. I was very touched during the whole ceremony, Arthur – my cousin who just got married is very important to me. He is just like an older brother, we lived together for a while, there’s just not a word to describe our friendship. And his wife Mari it’s also a very special old friend. Despite all the sickness around the family we all had a great time. The kids cried at first but were ok with my mom and dad so Dan & I could walk down the aisle, do the whole bridesmaid/groomsman thing, pics and then finally meet up with them after for dinner.
I cried, I laughed, I ate, I drank, I saw many “long time no see” extended family, I danced, I took my shoes off, I had a ton of deserts, I had a good time!!!
I just wish for Tuta & Mari that they can keep in touch and be happy! All God’s blessings poured out into them and their marriage! I LOVE YOU GUYS! I very much thank them for letting Dan & I be part of their special day! What an honor! =)

Some random things to talk about
I’m pretty behind here, bloguing only like ½ the stuff that is going on around, I know. Its awesome these sunny days – we do so much… then we have so much to blog and no time! Funny! =)
* Man – Didn’t you love getting this Rebate from the government? We got to pay a few bills, get our Bengals season tickets, I hope to get a new dinning table set and have a little left for some fun! =) Good stuff! =)
* Did I tell you guys about my mother’s day?
We had a nice quiet brunch at the W’s house, Mike & Kristen cooked some yummie food. Then for dinner we went out with the FUNSS families/girls.
Dan & the boys made me the cutest handmade card (I need to picture it – with my new camera – that is was my mother’s day gift a few weeks early)
* Sad news for us - Dr. Pam is moving to Chicago! I’m glad for her (and kind of jealous - lol) because I would love to move closer to my family too! And she has an awesome job opportunity there! Even though we’ll miss her dearly I’m happy for her!
* I went out for a few drinks with Angela a couple Friday’s ago and I remember now WHY I don’t drink! Man – It was fun – funfunfun I laughed my insides out… later I barfed my insides out! lol
* Every once in a while a do those paid studies, ykwita? You go there, see something or use something, talk about and get a check, go back home. Now I signed up to this new company that is GREAT. They call or e-mail with questions, upon approval they’ll MAIL me a product, I’ll use – answer an on line survey and in a few week – a check is on the mail!!!! How cool is that? With this CRAZY gas prices – this can’t be beat!!! =)
Interested? – I don’t have a phone number for this company – but I can refer you to them if you would like me to!
Falando de uma porcao de coisas, nada a ver…
Se esta chovendo ou frio nao fazemos nada, ai nao tem muito o que escrever… se esta gostoso la fora temos um montao de coisas para contar, mas ai esta calor e os meninos querem brincar la fora, ai nao sobra tempo para escrever ehhee vai entender, ne?
*Sabe que o governo americano mandou um check para todo mundo esse ano? Para ajudar na economia? $300 por crianca e $600 para cada adulto!!! Nossa, nos amamos! Pagamos uma porcao de continhas, acabei comprando o passĂ© para os jogos de futebol americano que o Dan gosta (pois tava sem grana para comprar esse ano) ele ja tem todo ano por 4 anos, estava triste – agora esta contente!
Quero ver se compro uma mesa para sala de jantar e quardo um pouco para diversao – para ir pro Brasil!!! =)
* Eu contei o que que eu fiz no dia das maes? Fomos tomar um cafĂ© da manha/almoco na casa da mae da Kristen, ela e o Mike cozinharam, foi bem gostoso e depois na janta fomos num restaurante mexicano com as “familias unidas nao sentem saudades” e mae nao pagava aquela noite!!! Ganhei um cartao lindo feito a mao pelo Dan e os meninos, agora preciso usar a maquina fotografica que eu ganhei – tirar fotos e postar aqui ne?
(Vixe - nao consigo mudar a cor do paragrafo seguinte!!!!)
* E uma noticia ruim, a Dr. Pamela vai mudar para Chicago! Quer dizer, triste para nos, mas estou feliz (e morrendo de inveja) porque ela esta mudando para perto da familia, com os netos e uma super oportunidade de emprego! Entao no fundo no fundo estou feliz por ela, mesmo sabendo que vamos sentir muita falta!!! J
* Sai com a minha amiga Angela outro dia para lever a Daiane para passear, tomei um martini e pronto! Lembrei porque que eu nao bebo! Hahah. Passei mal para caramba, com uma enxaqueca do caramba, um super mal estar com o estomago todo emborlado!!! CREDO!
* Sabe como de vez enquando eu faco aquele estudos para dar a minha opiniao? Eu vou numa empresa, eles fazem uma porcao de perguntas, ou mostram opcoes de produtos novos, coisas assim… e agente fala pacas e depois ganha um cheque bem joinha?
Eu adoro fazer esses estudos – ou seja la como se chama… Dar minha opiniao! Agora eu achei essa empresa aqui eh eh demais! Eles me ligam, fazem perguntas – se eu for aprovada eles mandam um produto para eu “testar” – absorvente, papel toalha, fralda.. sei la – Uma porcao de coisas diferentes, eu uso – por 2 semanas… eles mandam o produto pelo correio, no fim de duas semanas eu vou na net e respondo as perguntas sobre o que eu ahcei de produto – uns dias depois chega CHEQUE PELO CORREIO!!! Nao neh demais? Com a gasoline carissima da maneira que esta nada melhor que isso, ne????

A new year already
New years was a blessing! Surrounded by our brothers n sisters IC, in such a connection with our Lord!
Connie and her family received us with so much love and care – So did everyone else too. We were there for like 5 days and it was more and more blessings everyday! =)
The drive was good both ways and we came back today because it’s supposed to snow more tomorrow, so we cut it short! still was all worth it!
Food 24/7 – all kinds of yummy! I eat *SO* much. The kids had a blast! It was a awesome relaxing trip! We didn’t sleep a whole lot but still, after Noah was anointed we absolutely feel the difference in him and Thank God we being able to sleep better every night…
I’m so mad I forgot my camera – it’s like the 3rd or 4th place I go and I forget my camera! Can’t believe it! This time I couldn’t pass it by so I got 2 disposable ones – now I need to develop them! So – pic are coming soon!

I PASSED!!!!! =)))))))))
I passed my immigration test!!!10 oral questions, something to read, something to write andOh yeah! Oh yeah! I did it! I did it!A few more weeks and I’ll be an American!!!!______* ______BTW – (totally different subject) – I forgot to mention a few weeks ago we had a camp out on Tati’s backyard??? Benji loved playing in the fire, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs! Pictures will come – eventuallyDary will have surgery next week – Cindy had hers today and sounds like she is hanging in there!
Here I go run to call poison control!
Benji got a hold of a Lysol spray bottle today, turned towards his face and pulled the trigger: STRIKE! Right into his right eye!!!!
Here I go run to call poison control! Lots of tears and a guilt mama – really it was a 2 seconds thing! – I know I know 1 second is more ten enough!
30 minutes later everything seems to be fine.
I’m trying to organize our basement so he’ll be able to enjoy the space, I took his bike and his tricycle downstairs (really wants to pedal his tricycle) and we are looking for a train table to put downstairs too. We got some nice mats for half of it and the other half I’m thinking about drawing a track on the floor for him to ride on!

Halloween Dinner Party
Did you notice that now blog.com is giving me a chance to add more then one Tag?? How cool is that?!!! =)
Last minute Nicole decided to do a Pre-Halloween party dinner - all the kids came in their costumes (even Noah) she hided candy around the house and we made Brazilian Style Stroganoff – it was delicious! With rice and potatoes sticks!!! =) Then for desert we baked fun shaped cookies!!
Greg came over to hang out with Dan and the women set and chat for a couple of hours while the kids ran around burning their sugar!

Barfed but still proud
Today I got pretty brave, after the bible study I got both kids in the car and we went grocery shopping at Wild Oats. It was almost lunchtime so I decided to get us some food; I got some sushi for me - Mac & Cheese for Benji. Everything was great and I was pretty proud of myself! Just minutes before we were going to leave, I started nursing Noah while Benji had this Raspberry Puree for desert and guess what?
He didn’t like it, gagged and threw up! All tables were full, lots of people having their lunches and my cute Benji barfing all over the place…
Gracious!
I stopped nursing, now Noah is crying… then Benji started to cry! But I kept my patience and I was really calm and got control of it!
I’m learning not to loose my mind when they both start screaming at the same time, just block it and help whoever one is in more dangerous first… =oP
I still loved eating my sushi, drinking my water and quite a few yogurt pretzels for desert!
The bible study? Oh yes, let me tell ya… Shelly up the street (Very nice lady, she homeschool, has 4 children) Every Friday she gets a few woman together to read the bible and talk about relationships, motherhood and whatever other subjects we like, the kids stay on her basement with a baby sitter ($2/child – what a bargain!) and we have lots of good talk. I’m really enjoyed!
Grace is hanging out here this afternoon, we went to pick her up at Jeannie’s house while Daniela is there working on the garage sale and since her and Benji are having a good time together I got to post some of my day that were “draft” at blog.com!
And this afternoon around 2:30pm Marcia’s baby was born! A 7#s 4oz and 20 inches long beautiful girl! =)
