Our trip to Mexico!!!

So we decided to go to Mexico this weekend, just to see what there is to do, and to say that we've been. We had heard that if you park your car on the US side and then walk across, it is much easier. So we decided to go. We looked it up online, and it seemed very easy. They have some type of plaza just after you cross the border that you can buy things, and eat, etc.

Well . . . We had no idea where we were going, and the next thing we knew, we had missed the exit to park and we were in Mexico. The minute we crossed the border, the organzied I-5 became utter chaos. Soon we were on a road, with potholes and garbage everywhere... and no way to get off. We had no maps, and the drivers were driving fast and crazy (no staying in the lines) Oh, and we didn't have Mexican Car insurance!!!! AAAAGHGHHGH! Even though we've been to some pretty rough neighborhoods in Ecuador, we were not prepared for this complete change of lifestyle. We expected Tijuana to be at least tourist friendly, but, that was not the case. Now, we know that there are some beautiful beaches and things to do in Tijuana, they just weren't where we were. We took a side turn, and we were in the wrong part of town. We decided to just go back to the US, and come back to Mexico with someone who knows, or at least a map to lead us. We do want to go back, but just with a little more preparation!

Anyway, it took us awhile to find our way back to the main roads and then... we saw this... I didn't take this picture, but it is exactly how it looked. We waited in line for over an hour, which he have been told is not a bad time, sometimes it is up to three hours.
So we finally made it across and decided to go home. Such was our trip to Mexico.

We did buy a miniture guitar that David bargained for. It is a real guitar, just Nuni's size.

ABCs

So Analeah finally learned how to write her A's. She now makes three dots and connects them. She was practicing on her whiteboard in squares that I had drawn. (Thats how I keep her busy. I make as many squares as I can and see how long it takes to draw A's in them.--Ha Ha I use reverse pscycology.
Finalmente Analeah aprendio a escribir la letra A. Hace tres puntos y los conecta. Yo hice cuadors para poner las letras. (Asi la mantango ocupado durante el dia. ji ji ji)

Happy Halloween

We made cookies for Halloween. Nuni decorated her own cookie and put all the best things on it! Yummy!!
Hicimos las galletas para Halloween. Analeah puso todos sus cosas favoritos en su galleta! MMMMMMM!

Our 1/2 Day with Cary/Nuestra dia medio con Cary

Cary came to visit us last Monday night and stayed until noon the next day. She was in Anaheim for a conference and had a little extra time to come see us. We were so happy to see her. We played Candyland, put puzzles together and just hung out. Since she came during the big fires, we couldn't go up to get her because the freeway was jammed. So she came to us. Thanks Cary!
Cary nos visito el lunes pasado y quedo hasta el proximo dia. Estaba en Anaheim para una conferencia para BYU y tenia un tiempo para nosotros! Ella vino durante los encendios y no podemos ir al aeropuerto para cojerla. Entonces ella vino aqui. Gracias Cary!

Our Little Photographer/Nuestro pequeño fotógrafo

So I found these pictures on our camera. I wonder who took them! Ha Ha

Encontre esas fotos en nuestra camera. Quien tomo? Analeah!

The Dora Crab Dance/El Baile de Cangrejos de Dora

You can't hear her, but she is singing "Shake your body like a crab", a song from Dora. She twirls around opening and closing her fingers like a crab. It's really funny!

No puede escuchar, pero esta cantando una cancion de Dora "Mueve su cuerpo como un cangrejo!" Abre y ciere sus manos como cangrejos. Es muy chistoso.

At our Back Door

Here are some pictures from a ward member's home. The fire was a one of the gates of Camp Pendleton, less than two miles away. Many members evacuated to the Church. We were all waiting, but thankfully the fire was 100% contained. No homes were burned. The Lord is watching over us.
Aqui hay fotos del fuego en camp Pendleton (EEUU militar) menos de 2 millas de la casa de nosotros. Unos miembros de nuestro barrio tomoron las fotos. Gracias a Dios, los fuegos se pararon y todos estan seguros. El Senor nos protege siempre.
