Suri Playing

This week Q'Orianka is visting Ivis (Luis' sister). I took the adorable picture of Suri playing by herself. What the picture doesn't show is she was dancing in front of the mirror and talking and screaming loudly as she was playing. It was so cute. She has be fascinated by seeing herself in the mirror. It was so cute to see her playing with Q'Orianka's doll since, Q'ori doesn't usually let her play with them.

Novela - Destilando Amor

At our house we love to watch Novelas (Spanish Soap Operas). Here is a picture of Luis and Suri watching "Destilando Amor" together.

Here is a youtube link to our favorite novela. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgR5-hffOQw. Here is a link to the main actress singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcX_cx96JWs

Q'Orianka and the Scissors

Here are a couple of pictures of Q'Orianka after she took the scissors to her hair. Lucky for us, she only cut about 2 or 3 inches off the bottom, it could have be much worse. I am sad that I had to cut her beautiful curls off. I couldn't let her have one side of her head 3 inches shorter than the other. (I tried, but it just didn't look right. )

Q'Orianka's '3rd Birthday

Q'Orianka is officially 3 years old. We had family party, on her birthday. And then on November 1st we celebrated it again with Luis' family. We are all pretty tired from our Halloween Party the night before. Luis and I are wearing borrowed clothes, since we forgot ours. I was so focused on sewing that I forgot to put our stuff together. Here are the pictures from her birthday. The little girl is Alexia, Ivis babysits her.

Halloween

We'll last weekend we went to a Halloween Party. There was a prize for the best costume. And of course we wanted to win. Well we did. We dressed as "Cholitos", which means we dressed how the mountain people dress when they are going a party. Luis' mom brought her an outfit from Peru, the last time she came back. And she looks so dang cute. I didn't have an outfit for Suri, so we dressed her in knitted sweater and pants out fit that we got from Peru as well. I got a black wig for my head and made the skirt I'm wearing. I also sewed some rick-rack to the bottom of Luis' slacks. Anyways, when we got to the party, Q'Orianka ended going in first. We could here everyone ooooohing and ahhhing over her. Next I went in, I was carrying Suri on my back in the traditional manner. But what won us the prize, I came in carrying the Peruvian flag. Everyone loved it, it was a slap in the face they said. We all got a great laugh about it. We had people taking our picture all night. The following pictures are from that night. Oh, if your wondering why I looking like I'm wearing a lot of blush. I'm trying to look sunburnt.

New Home

We are official settled in our new place. We love the area and our Ward. Just yesterday, the girls and I were able to walk to Kohl's, JoAnns Craft, Ross and Marshall's. It's wonderful. It only takes us about 30 mins or so to get to the Shopping Center.

I haven't taken to many pictures since we moved, but here are a couple that show had big the girls have gotten.

Here is a picture of Suri when she was just learning to stand up by herself. Now is walking all around the house. Not quite by her self but with the help of the furniture and the walls. A fun picture of the girls playing. Suri loves playing with Q'Ori.

Here's Suri and the Q'Ori haning out while Suri is on the Potty. No, she's not potty trained, but I'm slowly working on it.

This picture is so Hilarious. Suri decided to crawl through a small basket and she got stuck. Luis is trying to unwrap her from the basket.

Another sitting on the potty picture. She's so adorable!!!

Spotsylvania

We'll we have official moved and are settled into our new place. We love it here!! There is so much to do that is close by. Which is a nice change from where we were at. I can walk to a large shopping center, and get all of our shopping done or walk to the park. The girls love that.
