My dad

Today is my dads birthday. He is 56!!! I can't believe my dad is already 56. I remember when my dad would take us to calaway park and Ride all the crazy rides with us.

He really is the BEST dad. He is always there when I need him and is always the peacemaker between all his daughters ;). He is a patient man, with an understanding of the needs of his children.

My favorite things about my dad are:
1) He speaks Spanish.
2) he helps Cody speak proper Spanish.( Cody went to my parents house and said this sentence to my dad,( and I quote) " me hispanico en me casa" - my favorite part of this- my dad helped the rest of us tease Cody on how he can't speak Spanish.
3) my dad gives pretty good hugs
4) he is the family peace maker
5) he loves to cook- and has awesome cooking- he likes experiencing with different types of foods- I still remember when he cooked that roast with all those oranges. I wanted to puke. Haha sorry dad!
6) he taught me to drive, not only an automatic but a standard, and a bike.
7) speaking of a bike, my favorite gift him and mom ever bought me was a bike!
8) he taught me to be a hard worker Always having to rake up those leaves and sticks in the yard( it was hard!)
9) him and my mom always sent me to eft every summer.
10) he is a great example of a priesthood holder, and has helped me choose a partner who is the same!
11) he is always fun to be around. He always has a joke to tell and funny things to say.
12) he loves playing hockey
13) he is a great grandpa
14) he would take me on drives when I was in high school and we would have the best talks
15) he taught me the importance of education
16) he taught me the importance of a family
17) he encouraged me to buy my first car! Jorge ( my car) and I will be forever greatful
18) he is the best BBQ -er
19) he has a great smile
20) we are alot alike.

My dad is great. He is my favorite dad and always will be. :) I'm so proud he's my dad and hopes he has the BEST birthday today ever!!!

Mudding and taping

That's right folks!! Our house is now onto Mudding and taping stage! I am very excited as you an tell, so is Cody. We can't wait to have a place to call our own!

Here are some photos! These are from before the weekend- since then everything has been cleaned out and all the taping has been done. They just now need to start sanding.

Those are just a few of the pictures.....
We are finally just going to get the rest of our house stuff. Thank GOODNESS for Kijiji and wicked deals at some furniture stores we have been able to get some good deals, but we still have couches to buy, a tv to get, night side tables etc. I am a busy lady tying to get all my pinterest ideas to come to life! Any one free to help paint ;)

Or have any craft supplies? Like old lace?

I'll post about the crafts I have up my sleeve a later night. I'm exhausted from our weekend at my parents and ready for bed!

Choi!
