Prescott Valley


We went to Prescott Valley last weekend and were able to spend time with Patti and her family. This was the first time in about 5 years or so that Dwayne, Jen, Carlos, Dwight, and Tricia were all in one place. Jen was able to learn how to play dominoes, which was very fun I might add, and Rick did dabble in it as well. We had a great time watching the kids play together and just getting to hang out with family. The ride home we thought would be quiet with both kids sleeping but we ended up listening to the movie Bees twice.
Well I finally found time when the kids were in their rooms and it's quiet. I'm slowly but surely figuring out this blog thing, with the help of friends of course. :) So Ricky is 2 and Cynthia is 14 months. So far Cynthia is not walking but she is showing signs of getting there soon. She is walking along the couch and with the help of someones hands. She really enjoys being around people, being held, and playing with Ricky. Ricky loves his sister still and looks out for her needs and wants. If that's what you call it. If Ricky wants milk then so does sister, if Ricky wants to eat then so does sister, if Ricky wants to play then so does sister. It's pretty amusing. He is really starting to form sentences and ask for things correctly. He is also starting to say his prayers with less and less aid from mommy and daddy.

We are looking forward to next week when Tom, Sally, and Kim come out to visit us. They have not seen the kids for over a year and everyone is really excited to see each other. We have been showing pictures of grandma, grandpa, and aunt Kim to Ricky and he can name them so we are hoping that when he sees them that they will be familiar faces.

Ricky and Cynthia have also gotten the chance to play with their cousins Nathanial and Gabriel. Grandma and Grandpa bring them over to our house as well as taking them to theirs. Ricky and Nathaniel love to play together with cars and trains. The are planning on going to see Thomas the Train in November and that will be a great experience for Ricky! He doesn't know it yet but he's going to have a great time!!

Our new blog!!!

Ok so I'm trying out something totally different for me. I know how much everyone seems to enjoy seeing kids and family pictures and reading about how their family is doing when they are miles away or just haven't talked for a while. So I'm gonna try to see if we can keep this blog going to keep our friends and family up to date as to what us Bernal's are up to.
So we'll see how this goes. Wish us luck for keeping this going. :) he he
