My presents from Amalekia was the different types of massagers.One was a pillow that vibrated, a massager for my back and a flat contraption that heats and vibrates. He put it on my van seat so I could wear it as I drove to C.C. Angelique made a scrapbook full of pics. It was beautiful!

Holidays with Johnny and Magda

Johnny and Magdas house is the place to be! I remember Magda would make a bucket full of cookies. Oatmeal being my favorite. Magda can cook. Johnny can cook. They would invite the missionaries and usually the older adults that had no ones to spend the holidays with and we sometimes had homeless people over to eat. Football! It is so funny watching first ward sunday school lesson on a football sunday. No questions asked and sit back and watch all the men leave church go home and change out of their church clothes and put on their football jerzies and football caps. I love going to johnnies house to eat after church. I love discussing what we learned at church. Gospel discussion is always interesting at johnnies. Board Games: The kids love to play chess with Johnny and the rest of the gang. We played perfection and battleship.

Thanksgiving 2009

I came down to Corpus Christi for the Thanksgiving. The boys came with me and Magda cooked everything! It was yummy! The single adults and their families are treated every year to a thanksgiving dinner. Every single adult is scattered so they will not be with their own ward. A married couple is assigned to each table and is in charge of decorating their table and making dessert. They each bring real china to eat on. We all get entertained with tons of special numbers. We had a nice time.

My birthday was wonderful! Araceli sang two songs for my birthday. Amalekia made my birthday cake and we went over to grandmas to eat it. Grandma and Noemi gave me a gift and Araceli made me the crown I am wearing. BEATS through me a surprise party. I got cake and they put mariachis on the computer and we had tamales. It was so sweet! They had a hard time getting me to the location. I was going to miss and was basically saying you guys can do this without me. I have faith in you guys. You don't need me and come to find out it was a party for me. LOL

halloween 2009

The kids went around the neighborhood! Amalekia worked hard on making his mouth open and close. I wanted to take the time and brag on Amalekia. He is a real stephen spielburg! He knows every scary movie that comes out and all about the directors and how they filmed each movie. His major is media technology and has made a couple of movie clips and posted them on u-tube. He really knows his stuff! When "Zombie Land" came out he got all dressed up zombie style and went to see the movie. He actually roasted his suit on the bar b que pit for that special look he needed.
