DE CITA CON MIS MUNEQUITAS. PARA MI, EL PASAR TIEMPO CON MIS HIJOS, UNO POR UNO, ES UNA PRIORIDAD. UNA BUENA RELACION NO ESTA BASADA EN LAS COSAS QUE LE DAMOS A LOS HIJOS, SINO EN DONDE INVERTIMOS MEJOR NUESTRO TIEMPO

Date with the girls. I find it a priority to develop a close relationship with each one of my children. Even if it is only 10 minutes, one-on-one moments every day. The value of a relationship is based, NO in the things we get them, BUT where is the TIME best invested. 0.59 cents ice cream gives a good ending.
My very feminine daughter. Can't forget to put on lipstick before going to school. I mentioned to her that her necklace was a bit too long to go to school with, and she gave a firm explanation " in my school there is a not touching rule, so no one will pull on my necklace".... I better get ready for teenage years. I love her!
Mi hija, muy femenina. Antes muerta que sencilla, no se puede ir a la escuela sin brilla labios. Yo le dije que su collar estaba un poco largo y que seria no buena idea llevarlo a la escuela, ella me me dijo " en mi escuela hay una regla de no tocar a otros niños y por eso nadie va a halar mi collar".... Podre de sus padres cuando llegue la adolescencia, YO LA ADORO!

Jelise began reading when she was about 4 1/2 years old. O love to teach my children everything that is good knowledge. We came up with this easy idea that has helped her a lot. When she was given her start kindergarten assessment her teacher said she was the first student thus far to brake up the words by letters and then read them.

Cleaning our Lot!
About 6 months ago Jesse and I decided to purchase a piece of land where one day we will build a home. Our little farm
I feel it is so important to teach our children the value of work. Our children ages are 7, 6, 5, 3 and 10 months. We start giving them readabilities to do chores as early as one year of age.
I have been feeling very strongly lately that I should keep a blog. I keep journals is writing and recording, but there is something to say bout telling a story and adding pictures.
I love to document the things my children do as they grow, so I am constantly taking pictures and short videos of the things they do, such as, events we go, and as they learn something new.
We have a family tradition since, our son first Ben was one year old. Every Christmas morning, after we open our few presents we watch The Busker Movie, it is a home made movie, usually an hour long, of all the highlights of our family from that year, the movie contains pictures with background music and the videos that we find special to remember.
As we watch our humble video, we are reminded of the greatest gift of all, LIFE, the life that Jesus bought for us,with His atoning sacrifice. We remember that the most important about Christmas are NOT the presents, BUT our lives, our lives as a family.
Jesse and I feel that we want to keep the meaning of Christmas based on feelings, instead of things. Because of that we limit the gifts we give the children to three per child, and that includes the famous pair of PJ's given the night before Christmas. We try to do service to others and base our memories in making some one happy.
A while ago, an older couple shared in church , an idea that become part of our family pursuits. They called it The Family Liahona, we call ours The Busker Family Liahona. It consists of a monthly family planner. The items are as follows.
Date
Parents Temple Visits ( when our children turn 12, we want to include a date to take them to the temple with us to do vicarious work)
Prayer Circle (we think of the people that are in need of a special blessing and we pray for them as a family)
Service and Missionary Work ( we discus ways to serve people out side and inside of our family, we seek for missionaries opportunity through service, we pick one or two activities and do our best to carry them through that month)
Family Recreational Activity ( we discus one or two activities to do as a family. besides FHE, usually includes going to a museum, sledding, pool, hiking, skate park, etc)
Parents Date Night ( I have to admit that Jesse and I are not very good at this one, maybe because, since we got married, there has been a new born in our home and I don't feel comfortable leaving my infant baby with a sitter, but the good thing is that just as one of our family goals says " HAPPY, SIMPLY BEING TOGETHER", just by being with each other, after we put the kids to bed and spending that quiet time every night and listening to each other's ideas, problems or dreams, we feel that we are connected with each other, I love that time when I have my sweet heart only for myself. i know that as the children grow we will be able to do more dates outside, I feel there is a time and a season for everything, and I perfectly OK with the way we are handling this stage of our family life)
