Good-bye seems to be the hardest word!!

So after a long break from blogging I wanted to take a minute to post some pictures and say hello. I miss coming here seeing the comments and seeing other people's blogs. So life keeps going and I am back for my last semester in college. I walked April 10th when both my parents were here and it was a lot of fun and very motivating. I love school, I love learning and I especially love BYU-Idaho. It is seriously the best school in the world for me. I'm so glad I come here and I've experienced the things that I did.

Also my mom left this morning back to Brazil, this post is dedicated to her and for her goodness of coming here and helping me out,especially at the end of last semester (it was tough) and I feel so much more secure about leaving her with her, not because I don't trust other people, but because I know she does not think that taking care of Izzy is a burden and she really enjoys the time so much. I don't like making people tired and dread helping me, but I'm sure glad of all the help I've had so far, my parents, Janaina, Anna, Aline, Carol, Regina, Patricia,Helga etc...they sure made it a lot easier for me and have always been so willing to help me even if for a day!

So I'm a little on the blue side today, the house is empty and I lost my biggest helper. I cried all I had to and I'm moving on with school and other things that I need to accomplish this semester. My grandma is coming at the end of May and meanwhile Carol and Regina are going to help me go to school. :)  I sure need to split my diploma between all this big helpers I've had so far.

So, maezinha, obrigada por toda a ajuda,amor,carinho e apoio q me deu esse tempo todo. Obrigada por me ajudar a ser uma melhor mae e pessoa e especialmente obrigada por sempre estar ao meu lado e ser uma grande companheira. Te amo e te admiro muito. Te espero aqui assim que vc puder voltar e ja estou morrendo de saudades!!! Te amo mto mto mto!!! Fique bem!

Other than that life is great, we are expecting another little girl and her name is going to be Beatriz. She's due September 30th, but I'm thinking she will be late. We haven't start any preparations,partly because I have most girly stuff she will need and also because we still have time and I don't seem to be as anxious as I was with Isabelle. We will sure love her any time she decides to com though,hehehehehe.

So I will add the baby counter thingy and I will keep you guys posted. I have lots of pictures to share. Today I'll do some old ones and then keep going to newer stuff. 

Also I need to get some lessons on how to make this blog as cute as Anna's I definetely don't have the patience of interest she has to be so creative and neat, but I will make this a better looking place for all of you. :D

Hope all are doing well and I will stop at blogs to check out how things are.

Is anyone there?

So last time I posted here nobody showed up to say anything i wondered if it was just a boring post....So today I'm hoping to make it more interesting just with pictures, here they go:

She was eating yougurt with jeloo and here's what happened,please notice the pink nails!!!hhahahahaha

I think she was going from upset to lauginh stage which = a little weird face but definetely cute
Aline and the kids
Me and the kids
Jasmine and Izzy lkook so grown up...

She was really thristy after a good spaghetti:

Look at the mess...she's almost eating by herself
We were both getting a pedicure
She has really cure feet and very tiny too
Smiling for the camera, what a big girl!!
So that's it for today...I hope you are all having a great Sunday!!!!
   

Hello and Good-bye....

This is Jasmine before we went out to IF

Best friend from childhood, Jasmine and Isabelle:
My picture perfect bff Aline:
This is when Mel was taking pictures of Aline surprising me at the door step:
This is the hug I gave her after recomposing...hehehehe

So I guess the post today has to be quick and I won't have time to write in portuguese. Most of you understand english anyway, my family comes more for the pictures!!!

So this january, the day I posted my last "post" here on blogspot, my best friend, showed up at my door step. I need to tell you though that she lives in Brazil and I was dumb founded when I sawher here...here's a picture to prove it: 

All my problems went away, I finish my quizzes and tests and assignments and we went out to applebee's: me, Aline(my Bff) and Mel(a great friend from childhood), it was like old times. The three of us lived together(we adopted Mel as she would sleep in our house everyday,instead of her apt) and we had so much fun all the time together. Needless to say we had as much or even more fun after reuniting. Aline has two kids now and I was Izzy and one on the way (by the way for those of you I wasn't able to reach yet, we're expecting another baby in september...what a great way to find out huh??hahahaha) Here is a picture of out fun together:

So she came and went really fast and it was hard to say goodbye at the airport today. My handsome hubby took some pics of that moment....but the camera is in the car and I will post them tomorrow....

I just wanted to register this moment and let her know how importatn she is to my life and how much I need and appreciate her friendship. I love you Aline, thanks for being my best friend, my cousin, the sister I've never had,etc. I appreciate all the memories we've had and the ones we built this month!!(and the ones we'll have in the future) THANKS FOR THE SURPRISE, it was really the surprise of a lifetime. I really wish on everyone that you may have a someone like Aline is your lives. :D

So here I go again on real life....with much more strenght I should add. :D

Um dia cheio....

Entao hj e um dos dias q eu to me preparando pra dois testes e tenho mais mil deveres pra fazer....aquelas coisas basicas de faculdade sabe??pois e...estou bem estressada, e daqueles dias q eu me pergunto pq eu tive filho antes de terminar a escola,poxa eu nao podia ter esperado um pouquinho mais???...espero q minha mae nao veja esse post pra nao jogar na minha cara q me avisou....mas BICHOOOO q frustante e vc tentar estudar e ter uma crianca gritando do seu lado e pedindo a tua atencao enquanto vc ta lendo alguma coisa,ou fazendo teste ou qq dever...apesar de eu acordar cedo e nao estar fazendo nada em casa (cozinhando e limpando e dona do meu proprio negocio!helooooouuuu vou enlouquecer) a 2-3 dias...mesmo assim 24 hrs nao e o suficiente....afffffffffffffffffffffff...so um desabafo mm....Por favor nao pense q eu nao amo minha filha nem q eu nao me sinto mal por nao poder apenas brincar com ela o dia inteiro...Ai ai....estou me sentindo mesmo ingrata....


So, today is one of those days that I've been trying to prepare for two exams and I have nother 20000 things to do for school. I'm really stressed, it's one of those times I wonder why I had a child while going to school. I mean really, could I not have waited a little longer? AHHHHHH, have you ever had a screaming child by your side asking fo attention or wanting to play with te lap top you're doing homework while you are in the middle of an important reading or quiz???that's usually how my day goes, and I fell awful for not having enough time to play and just BE with my little girl without worrying about tons of assigments I have to turn in every day. I have wondered if I coudl hanle no sleep, but that doesn't work, so I keep waking up early and going to bed early but the 24 hours just seem to be too short!!! (plus I haven't been doing any cleaning and cooking in the past 2-3 days, my house is pure hell and I still can't get things done, how about that plus a business owner huh??)

So I just needed to vent...I hope I don't make u fell like I don't love my little one, it just gets too hard managing all that I have with a child. Oh boy...how ungrateful I am....

A new semester...

Entao so rapidinho pra vcs saberem o que anda acontecendo na nossa vida. Isabelle esta linda e saudavel, falando o seu "hebreu" diariamente e se divertindo com a gente, ela adora neve,nos e q nao deixamos ela brincar mto tempo la fora...ela e com certeza nossa batatinha rexburguiana,pq adora o frio (ate onde a gente ve hj em dia). Eu e Mathew comecamos mais um semestre na BYUI. Eu adoro me apresentar como uma "senior" nas minhas aulas...semestre q vem o meu tao amado bacharel em Saude Publica-Ciencias da Saude. Tenho professores maravilhosos e minhas materias parecem bem legais, estou fazendo uma aula de Advanced first aid, environmental health,community health,medical terminology e microbiology=15 creditos=loucura=preciso organizar minha vida e horarios. O Plano e acordar todos os dias as 5 da manha,mas vamos ver se eu consigo manter esse ritmo nos proximos 3 meses.
Nesse ano temos mtos planos,mas o principal e sobrevivermos pra nossa formatura. Estamos mto felizes e batalhando bastante pra melhorar nossa vida e crescer pessoalmente e como uma familia.
A Carol e Patricia estaod e volta e estava na hora ja de termos amigas tao divertidas por perto,ng bate aquelas duas,elas sao demais.
FAMILIA- Esperamos q todos estejam bem e sentimos saudades de vcs no Brasil.

So, now my english version. Isabelle is growing really fast and she really enjoys playing and being happy. She keeps practicing her jeebrish and she's doind fabulous at it. We are certain we have a little potato spud at home because she loveeesssss the cold and snow of Rexurg, we are the ones that try to keep her home warm and wrapped all day so we don't have to be outside with her too long. Mathew and I have started a new semester and we are already going crazy. I think I have pretty good teachers and some interesting classes to handle too. I'm taking environmental health, community health, advanced first aid, microbiology and medical terminology= 15 credits=craziness= i need to prganize my time. The plan is to wake up at 5 am every day to be able to handle it all gracefully, let's see if I'm able to keep it up for the entire semester.
We are overall very happy and satisfy with our lives, trying to be better individuals and a better family. We are excited for this new year and the new adventures we will encounter.
FRIENDS- I hope all of you are doing great and we miss u wherever you are,some far and some close to us.

beijinhos
XOXOXO

REVEILLON 2009!!!!

ok....So here's jus a preview of New Year's Eve at Rosemary's house....We'll start with Mat, Izzy and the ballons, she loved them...
Aki so um pedacinho da noite de reveillon na casa da Rosemary, comecemos com o Mathew e a Bebelle e os baloes...ela ficou doida com eles....

Mais uma dos lindinhos da minha vida...
Another one of my loving hubby and beautiful daughter!!
She loves playing with her daddy...IN Brazil we have a tradition of using white for New Year's eve, a representation of bringing peace for the year to come...
Ela AMA brincar com o pai dela....
Unica foto minha....com a minha nova franja...na verdade era pra ficar de lado,mas deu pra colocar de frente e todo mundo adorou,eu q me sinto hiper 3a serie com ela....e tentei tb a maioria da roupa branca,mas sabe como branco nao favorece os mais voluptious neh??hahahaha, entao eu me limitei a parte de cima branca. :)
Here's probably one of the only pics of me with my new hair...Everyone loves my new bang, on the other hand I feel a little childish with it, but I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. Also I tried to wear mostly white, which is kinda of tricky for the more voluptious people like me....(it makes u look bigger,so I limited myself to the upper part of my body dressed in white)
HAPPY 2009!!!!!!!May all your goals come to life and the Lord bless you with health,love and loved ones nearby!!!
FELIZ 2009!!!!!!Que todos os seus objetivos se realizem e q o Senhor possa abencoa-los com saude, amor e pessoas queridas proximas de vcs....e que venha 2009!!!!!!!!

Babi

PS: this is my graduation year!!!!!!!!!

Isabelle's new word

Ola todo mundo....entao eu fico de saco cheio de escrever em ingles e portugues,mas vamos ver se hj sai. Queria so avisar q Isabelle esta falando mais uma palavra: BABY. Eu ficava toda hora mostrando babies pra ela e falando baby baby baby e ontem a televisao ligada e ela ouviu alguem falando baby e falou. A menina desembestou falando baby o dia todo,mas quando eu peco pra ela falar pra mostrar pra alguem ela fica so olhando...mas o importante e q ela esta falando e isso e tao fofo. Ate agora as palavras do vocabulario sao: Mamae, Papai, Au-au, Tchau, Bye, Baby, Vovo, Mi (nao sei o q isso significa,mas ela aponta pra tudo e fala mimimimimi quando ela quer alguma coisa), Que (do verbo querer).
Obrigada por todos os comentarios,realmente o q a Aline falou e verdade, eu prefiro ver Isabelle feliz do q ter presente pra mim,entao hj eu e Mathew tamos indo escolher um presentinho com ela la em Idaho Falls,pq eu quero q ela adore o presente dela...e eu e Mathew vamos nos contentar em ter uma familia linda mesmo, q ja e uma bencao fantastica dos ceus!!!E logo logo passa tb, acredito q dps q terminarmos a escola,esse misere vai acabar!!
Bom, nosso desktop morreu entao nao tenho fotos ainda, mas vamos tentar achar um cabo pra mostrar a Bebelle...ela ta TAO linda..hehehehehe

Hey everyone, it really annoys me to have to translate everything and I'm actually not sure that anyone that ONLY speaks english is coming here frequently, so after this post if no one pronouces him/herself I'm going back to just portuguese and you guys will just look at the pics, hehehehehe
Izzy is saying BABY now, she started saying it yesterday after much practice!!!The words that she can say are: Mommy, Daddy, Dog, "want", Grandma, bye, tchau (bye in portuguese), baby and me (that is the universal word for everything she points and wants)
This Christmas, Mathew and I decided to just get a present for Izzy and not spend any on ourselves. Besides the fact we have no money to do so, we rather see her happy then ourselves, and also all aunts will probably give her presents too, so she will have a few, which will be great!!
We are also trying to upload picstures of Izzy here because our desktop died and so we need to find a cable to transfer all photos to Mathew's mac!!!!
Hope you all have a MERRY Christmas and remember the true meaning of it all. Also let me know if you are in Rexburg, so we can get together, cuz I'll be here right after Christmas and until Christmas eve. (Hey Amanda, haven't heard from u or Hayden in soooo long!!!)

beijinhos XOXO
