HAPPY B-DAY ISABELLE!!! October 31st, 2008

YES she did get a kitten for her b-day but daddy didn't let her keep it....she cried when he took it away from her....if you notice thru her paci she was absolutly thrilled!!!(her name was Lily by the way)

Ela ganhou SIM um gatinho de aniversario,mas o pai dela nao deixou a gente ficar com a gata...o nome dela ia ser lIly e ela tinha ate uma roupinha linda. Ela ta sorrindo por detras da chupeta mas chorou quando o pai tirou a gata dela....tadinha!!!!!

Dps de MTA correria e mto trabalho, finalmente a festinha de um ano da Isabelle aconteceu!Eu achando que tinha tanta coisa adiantada afinal de ultima hora tem sempre a correria...infelizmente nao tive tanta ajuda como esperava,sempre acontecem os imprevistos na vida,mas nao posso deixar de agradecer a Janaina que foi a especialista dos baloes, do bolo e ainda fez o pao de queijo pra mim, e claro a Veronica q apareceu la as 11 da manha e ficou enchendo balao com o Mathew, A Helga q tb chegou la DOENTE pra poder auxiliar e ainda trouxe as mesas do bolo e das comidas...e claro o Mathew q foi minha mao direito na preparacao de tudo na manha da festa!!!Eu fui dormir as 3 da manha na sexta arrumando as coisas,montando pirulitos,colocando tudo em caixas pra ser levado pra o Club house na manha seguinte. Fui dormir preocupadissima com as coisas q tinha q fazer no dia seguinte achando q n ia dar tempo. No sabado as 8 eu tava de pe ja fazendo as coisas. Eu fiz uma lista e em ritmo frenetico frui checking eveything out ate que tinha completado tudo. Mesmo assim eu as 2:15 foi q consegui mandar a Isabelle pronta pro Club house e as 3 eu tava pronta e ja tinha levado o q eu precisava pra la tb...coitados dos q chegaram as 2 (tivemos q adiantar a festa pq tinhamos q sair de la as 8 com tudo limpo e eu queria mto tempo pra poder curtir a festa da pequenina) Ela estava absolutamente LINDA!!!! Ja andando ela estava um charme na sua fantasia de fadinha!!!!(PENSE EM UM ORGULHO DE MAE).

No final tudo deu certo e eu fiquei super feliz com o resultado e faria tudo de novo!!!

Obrigada a todos os convidados por aparecerem e pelos presentinhos da Isabelle, ela amou cada um deles. Obrigada pelos que ajudaram quando chegaram na festa e pelas criancas q trouxeram e aproveitaram tanto. FOI UM SUCESSO!!!

E finalmente minha gatinha tem um aninho!!VIVAAAAAAAAA

So, this weekend we had Izzy's b-day. It was awesome. A toooon of work and I definetly lacked sleep the night before trying to prepare everything I needed to, but in the end it was all worth it. I had so much fun preparing the favors and all the candys for the kids and food. We had too much food actually, which is a relief for me, bc I'm always afraid we'll run out of food in parties. The morning of the birthday party I was running around trying to accomplish my to do list I had made the night before and some people were key in helping me accomplish all the tasks. Thanks so much guys!!!I don't know what I would have done without you!

I can't believe my little girl is one. For those of you that are wondering about the size of the party and all the big deal we make out of it, I'll explain it to you: in my family I always thought of parties like this as a demostration of love. I didn't have parties every year, but when I did, I knew my mom made the best she could at the time. This is definetely our best for now and I'm really pleased with the results. I loved seeing so many people and kids enjoying the party and I would definetly do it again. Thanks everyone that showed up and helped during and after the party. IT WAS A SUCCESS!!!

I can't believe my baby is one!!! hooray!!!!

8 People I tag:

Whoever wants to spend some time thinking hard about what to say.... :) I would enjoy reading if any of you wrote anything.

The translation to my post

Ok, so I feel really bad that people that don't speak nay portuguese will come here and not understand a word of what's going on in our lives. So I will do a quick translation, especially bcuz I don't remember everything I wrote just a couple of hours ago.

Isabelle is turning one on the 31st of this month (my little halloween baby) and we are so excited. I have been preparing for her party since last week and this weekend will be hectic as well so I can get as much done before hand. The "theme"of the party will be "Enchanted forest"and she will be dressed up as a fairy. The decorations are pretty much done and so this weekend I just have to worry about cooking some of the food and freezinf it for the big day. The sweets (brigadeiro and beijinho- brazilian traditional candy for birthday parties) are done and the cake will be done o thrusday and decorated on Friday. I can believe she's almost one. Time flew by and she really is a little girl now, her features chenged so much and the baby face is gone (she keeps changing more and more though so I might think she still had the baby face a few weeks from now)

School is killing me sometimes, especially bcuz of the amount of hours I put in, studying is really not so much a problem bcuz I try to just really learn things in class and do the necessities at home. I feel guilty not spending time playing with Izzy but I also understand it's a price I have to pay to graduate, and I love my major and I love the things I'm learning, definetly would not give up school for nothing in the world.

We have no exciting news really, just that I am very pumped for the Holidays this year. I think it will be extremely fun to see Izzy running around and playing with us. We don't know what we're doing for Christmas and New Year but we'll figure out something amazing.

Overall we feel very blesses having our little girl with us, she's the joy of our lives and so much fun to be around, she loves to blow kisses and cuddle with her stuffed animals, she especially loves her dogs. We seriously need to get her a pet once we move to a house. She is also bablling and says mama and papa perfectly, no english words so far though, which is fine, bcuz she'll learn eventually. I think the only think in english she says is "bye-bye" and it's adorable.

Also my friend that has been helping me care for Izzy while I'm in school is moving to SLC and so my last two semesters are gonna be tough without her. I don't really know what we're gonna do, we're still trying to figure it out. Mathew's mom might com,e but we don't know if the winter is better of the summer. Any suggestions?

I ended up pouring out a lot more in english than in portuguese, but at least you are all updated now right??

I'm gonna go and get something done so I don't feel like a bum all day.

Oh!!I almost forgot Izzy has two teeth coming out, that makes 8 total....HOLY COW!!!she is fussy with this one...I bet it hurts like heck, so I really don't mind her fussiness when I know she's in pain...gotta love being a mom..... :)

Enjoy the pics....

XOXOXO

PARABENS ANNA E JOHAN!!ELE E PERFEITO

Now the translation for my american friends....
It's been a long time I don't upload this blog...I just wanted to stop by and say that Anna (a great brazilian friend I have here in Rexburg) had her baby this morning. It's the cutest little boy ever. He weighs 6.8 oz and measures 18 in, I think he is the cuttest baby I have ever seen in my life...Izzy was pretty cute herself, but I think he is less "swollen", actually I think he's not swollen at all!
So, I got pretty baby hungry for a boy, but I think that it would have to be just like little Thomas to satisfy my baby hungriness...just so I can kiss and hug all the time... :)

CONGRATS ANNA AND JOHAN HE IS PERFECT!!!

I will come back later to get things going around this blog...

ALEX: I have a job proposal for you...interested??let me know!!!

Beijinhos...XOXOXO
