Marriage

At Alex's school the little girls are always saying which boys they are going to marry. Alex came home few weeks ago and told me that Mariana says she is going to marry him. I asked him if that was ok with him and he said "yes, I definitely want to marry her!" So, then Santi spoke up and told us he was never getting married. Alex told him, "But Santi, if you don't get married, you can't have a family." Then he proceeded to explain to Santi how you get a family: "This is what you have to do, Santi, You find a really pretty girl who is pregnant and you marry her. And that's how you have a family."

He said he was a superhero. I gave him markers and literally was out of the room for two minutes. By that time he had gotten bored with paper. This boy is my limit pusher...what I never had to tell Alex twice, I have to tell him ten times (don't color the walls, don't rub a rock on the car, don't put your hands in your milk). But he's just so darn cute!

Spring Break Part 2

During the second half of Spring Break we had an Easter egg hunt with lots of friends. We also decorated eggs. Josue (Uzzi and Cami's baby brother) was called Shrek most of that day since he had been holding a green egg in his hand before it dried. They had a great time.

Spring Break part 1

Yes, I know it's almost summer vacation! I just havent taken the time to post pictures. So now I am! These go in reverse order: The first pictures of the rocks are from Piedras Encimadas (in Zacatlan) it's a national park that we visited on the way back from Chicontla. Daniel was invited to speak at a youth conference at the base of the Sierra Norte in a small town called Chicontla. The pictures of cliffs are from the trip down the mountain. I literally had to hold my camera out the window. The drop off was amazingly dangerous and there was NO Shoulder at most points. Alex was practically leaning out of his window screeching about how cool the view was! I was petrified. Once we got to the base of the mountain I really didn't take many pictures. Next to the very country-ish church (roof but no walls) was a family that had goats. Alex and Santi fed them the whole day were there, that was about all they could do! They wanted to go explore but we weren't familiar with the town and Daniel was teaching, so we stayed close by. The last picture is of Alex and Santi in their "rocket ship" just before blastoff.
