Today was Daniels Field Day. They had a bunch of centers for all the Kindergarten kids. Of course Samantha wanted to join all the fun!!!

Christmas 2011

2012-01-27T11:07:00.000-08:00

This is our first Christmas just staying here in Florida.. It was super fun.. The night before Christmas the Feliz & the kids made there gingerbread house..

Daniel got a Star Wars puzzle & light saber, tons of nerf guns, PJ's, clothes & a labtop..

Samantha got Barbies and she was happy!!! She has turn into such a girlie girl.. She also got building blocks and clothes..

I'm blogging again!! Finally

2012-01-23T21:58:00.001-08:00

I know it's been forever since I have last blogged.. So I have made it a personal goal along with my scrapbooking that I want to learn to do.. I have told myself that I will blog at least twice a month and work on the scrapbook for that month.. As most of you know I'm a facebooker!! It's very convenient at the fact that I upload my pictures from my phone.. I have also told myself that I'm going to carry the camera more with me.. We have been very busy since we have moved to Florida..
Feliz is now working at the hospitals, which means he is gone more.. I think I liked it more when he was just going to class. Now he is traveling he doesn't have much time at home.. But we only have 12 more months till graduation!!! Yes, I am already doing a count down..
Daniel has started Kingergarten and loves it. Even though he asks me when we are going back to Washington. I told him that we might be able to go home over the summer but we have to come back. He told me he wanted to just stay.. Wishful thinking.. Daniel has come so far in school. He is reading, writing, adding, subtracting & counting money.. Here in FL they are way ahead then other states.. In one way its good b/c he will be ahead when we move but they give them so much to do. We have homework almost everynight.. He loves going to church & loves school. Daniel also likes to feed the baby so that I can get dinner ready or get other house work done before Feliz comes home.
Samantha is growing so fast.. I look at her and I can't believe how fast time goes by.. She is my princess.. Her favorite thing to do these days is go to her room & get her Barbie's & Little Pony's and play with them in the closet. She also likes to sit at the table & color when I'm doing homework with Daniel. She is learning to talk clearly and use her words. I have to keep reminding myself that she's only 2 and I can't force her to speak.. Samantha has been a big help since I have had David. She will help Daniel feed him his bottle while of course watching a show.. But as long as they are willing to help I'm going to let them.
David has grown so much. He is almost 4 months old and he is almost rolling over. He loves to sit on my lap and watch me make funny faces to make him laugh.. Whenever I pull out the camera to take a picture or to video tape him he won't do anything.. He can be the biggest stinker!! But I'll keep him!!!
Well, here's to a start of better blogging!!!

FLORIDA

2010-04-15T21:17:00.000-07:00

Feliz & I got to go to Florida over the weekend. Feliz had an interview with Wolfold College. We will be finding out in about 2 months if we are going to be moving there or not.. Can't wait to find out.

We got to stay with our friends Aaron & Natalie & their two kids Luke & Jordan.

They live in Naples, Florida. We are hoping to be moving there this Fall.

I don't know what we are going to do being so far away from our family.

We went to church with them and they have such a wonderful ward. We really felt welcomed.

Monday Feliz went into his interview & Natalie & I went shopping. We went to the beach with the kids and they had tons of fun.

While we were on our way to the beach we stopped to pick up some things for our families. Natalie saw this on the side of a building & I just had to get a picture.

While we were at the beach we tons of sea shells & some sand dollars. Just before we were getting ready to leave we saw a baby sting ray..

2010-02-02T09:50:00.000-08:00

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU JACKSEN!!!!!

Goals!!!

2010-01-19T19:51:00.000-08:00

So I just got off the phone with my sister Tiff... And we were talking about goals and reading the scriptures. So I told myself that I am going to do better reading my scriptures. My niece Kylee is going to start reading them so I told her if she finishes the scriptures before me I will take her out. So I am going to post a blog every Sunday telling where I am... I am making it a goal in my life so that my kids will see how much the scripture mean to me.. I also set a goal that Daniel & I will read separately plus make sure we say our prayers every night before we go to bed.. I haven't been a good example about doing that lately..

I can't wait to get Daniel back on tract on reading the scriptures and saying our prayers..

2010-01-17T16:46:00.000-08:00

2010-01-12T22:25:00.000-08:00

I know that it's been awhile since I have blogged!! So much is going on. Daniel is still going to Preschool. He loves those days. The kids had a super Christmas. Daniel loved helping Samantha opening her presents. Feliz took his GRE test and of course he did very well. Now we are applying to schools which means that we are going to be moving where we go we aren't sure just yet... It's going to be hard for me to leave all my friends & family behind.. I am very nervous about that.. But when he is done we are for sure coming back to Washington.. We have our house up for sale so it's official that we will be moving. I can't wait to see where we are going to go. We have Skype on our computer and when ever Daniel sees that my parents are on-line we call them. Daniel of course gets nervous & just runs away.. The other day the kids were laying down in the living room.. Sam loves to just watch Daniel. She could do that all day!! So Feliz & I decided it was time for Daniel to get his hair cut. He usually does really good when my sister Tiff does it. This time he didn't think it was all that great. After we cut it he ran to the bathroom and cried "my hair's all gone!!" It took him a couple of days to get used to it. I love his hair short!! One less thing to do for Church on Sunday. We are now going to Church at 1pm. I know that it's going to take us awhile to get used to but I know we can do it!

2009-12-20T23:27:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend we decided to go up to my parents cabin. It was a short trip but Daniel had a great time. Feliz took Daniel sledding by the side of the house. Wasn't too much snow but Daniel really didn't care. He was so glad that he got to go up to Bobby boy's cabin.

Well, the last couple of days Sam has almost got dadda down. I am glad that she is talking!! Now I have to start working on momma...

Today at Church Sam was bitting my finger then all of a sudden I could feel her first tooth!! Finally was my first reaction! I was so glad that it had come in. We got to go to my brother Tony's house so that the kids could exchange gifts. Daniel had a blast as usual. He loves Tony & Mary's house. Daniel got a homemade beanie and some Lightening McQueen stickers. thanks Pasley:) Sam got some little cars to play with thanks Avery!!

Ward Christmas Party 2009

2009-12-16T11:46:00.000-08:00

We had our Ward Party the other night and we got to take Brooklyn & Lilly with us.. The kids were first in line to see Santa. I was pretty surprised that Sam didn't freak out on us. We had such a great time.

Halloween 2009

2009-11-13T13:20:00.001-08:00

Sam was a ladybug and Daniel was a fireman:)

Samantha

2009-11-13T13:16:00.001-08:00

Sam just turned 5 months on the 5th!! It's crazy how fast they grow up.. Today I had to wash her sheets so I put her in Daniel's bed to take her afternoon nap!! She's looks so grown up!!

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-22T12:36:00.001-07:00

Daniel's class went to the pumpkin patch and they also got to see the animals. Daniel had so much fun.

Farewell

2009-10-22T11:57:00.000-07:00

We went out the night before my parents farewell.. Can't believe its been 2 weeks since we have seen my parents.. I love getting texts in the morning:) We are going to go to Utah this weekend before they are off to Cambodia. I am going to miss my parents very much. Every time Daniel gets to talk to my dad(aka BobbyBoy) he's always asking him when he is coming home. I have tried explaining to him that we aren't going to be able to see them for awhile. I just want my parents know how much we love and appreciate all that they do and what great examples they are for my children. Love you mom and dad:) can't wait to see you both.

Till we see you again

2009-10-12T15:26:00.000-07:00

Bob and Ann, Stacy's parent, have gone to the MTC today. They will be spending the next 18 months in CAMBODIA. Stacy was able to spend most of last week in Othello with her parent before they left and this weekend I was able to go to and spend some time with the whole family. The older members of the family went out to eat Saturday night and after their farewell on Sunday we had a big Sunday dinner with family and friend. Then, we went to the Stake center and had a great meeting with the President Leavitt where Bob and Ann were set apart. 18 months is a very long time. It was hard to see them go and know that by the time they get back we are going to be is school and that we might not really see them for the 2-3 years and after they we will not be able to see like we did now. (we live only one hour away) We though that as Bob and Ann serve they the Lord that not only will the people of Cambodia, Bob and Ann be blessed by them serving but so will each and every member of the family.

Daniel Preschool

2009-09-28T08:27:00.000-07:00

Daniel is now going to Preschool.. I can't believe he is getting so big.. He is going to Happy Feet Preschool and he loves it.. In the mornings when he wakes up he runs in and asks if he gets to go to Preschool to see his teacher. He is going 3 days a week and is learning tons.

Cambodia

2009-08-27T10:28:00.001-07:00

So for those who don't know my parents got their mission call to Cambodia!! They go into them MTC on October 12th! Going to miss them like crazy!!!

Rexburg trip

2009-08-03T23:52:00.001-07:00

Feliz and I went to Rexburg a couple of weeks ago and we had a blast!!! We got to see my brother Joel & my sister-in-law Michelle. Daniel had a blast!! We got to see Carsten also. He was working for Joel for some of the summer. We had fun everyday. It was nice to be able to go and see them. Michelle got their water toy out for the kids. Sadie & Daniel went down the slide together.

That night Joel took the kids fishing.. Carsten said that he caught a fish but by time he got it in the fish had gotten away. Daniel came back so excited that he got to go fishing with Joel & the kids.

We went over to Michelle's Grandma's house to swing. Daniel had fun until it started to go fast.. He didn't think that part was very fun.

Samantha Baby Blessing

2009-08-01T16:04:00.000-07:00

Well, I know that it's taken me forever but we blessed Samantha on June 28th. I was so glad that Feliz's mom Vickee got to come and see all the kids. It was a blast b/c we took all of the kids including Missy's girls to the water park and they loved it.. I finally got pictures of Samantha in her blessing dress. I am a little behind on getting it done. We went and got Daniel a suit for the special occasion. He looks so handsome!!! We went to Scott & Debbie's to have a BBQ afterwards!! My mom made Samantha's Blessing dress and I can't tell you how pretty it is.. and my Aunt Lillie made the slip. I am so blessed that I have such a wonderful mother & wonderful Aunt!!!

What was that!!!!!!!

2009-07-19T00:27:00.000-07:00

The Diaz family went with the Washburn family to see our Grandpa Andrews and his new wife Arline in Northern California this past week. We had a good time and it was great to see the family. Here are some pictures of the trip. The one of poop has a little funny story. We were all sitting around the table talking and thing all of a sudden we hear a huge fart from the baby so lound that it wakes her up and we all had a little laugh. But in a matter of seconds poop started streaming out of her diaper and yep on to dad.

2009-06-13T16:42:00.000-07:00

What a great time we are having. After one week of being at Ann's home in Othello we are finally home. Daniel had a blast at Grandma'a and at Bobby Boy's. I love to hear Daniel say "bobby boy, bobby boy." But like most good thing is had to end. Since we have come home we have had to get back into swing of thing. I have started to work on finishing the furniture we bought and today is the first day back to work. I know I know I only have to work 1 day a week for 2 months but still. We love having the baby and you know at times i get really tired but when you to have a little angel in you home it is worth it. Next week I have to finish the furniture and put up the fence while going to Othello monday, 3 hours of work on tuesday and full day of work on Friday. Thank you all for coming to see the baby. love you all

2009-06-07T09:54:00.000-07:00

Baby Samantha Ann Diaz was born on 6-05-09 at 0803 am. She was 6 lbs 6 oz and 20 3/4 inches long. Stacy went to the doctors office on the 4th and the doctor checked her and she was a 3. By that night we went in and was sent home and told to call back in a couple of hours later to see if the contraction decreased. After 4 hours the contraction went from 2 mins to 1 min with increased intensed so wecalled and then went in. in 4 hours Stacy had went from a 3 to 6 and we were admitted. We called Ann and Tiff (I
don't know how many driving violations they broke but they were at the hospital fast). After the epidual things really slowed down and by one of the pictures you can really see it was a long night. At 5 am the doctor broke Stacy's water and then things started to happen and buy 730 she was pushing. Ann and I were at the bedside with Tiff thanking great pictures. You can see that Ann was pretty white in the face (thank you both for being there). Thank you all for coming that could to see our newest blessing. We were able to go home the next day. Baby and Mom are still pretty tired but doing well. Thank you all, we love you and will be posting more pics here soon. Feliz

Daniel's Birthday party

2009-05-25T11:08:00.000-07:00

Well, today is Daniel's Birthday!! He just turn 3!!! I can't believe how big he is gettting.. We decided to have his birthday party Saturday b/c Feliz had to work today unfortunately... If it was up to me he would of taken today off. But everything turned out so great. We had his party at the Park and it has a little water area that the kids can have fun..

Feliz and I decided that we would bring some waterballoons for the kids to throw at eachother but Feliz & Scott decided to join in on the fun.. I think Scott & Feliz had more fun throwing the waterballoons at the kids..

A time of Change

2009-04-26T18:29:00.000-07:00

As many of you know, Stacy's last day was on Friday. She was laid off after almost 5 years at Lithia Ford. I have to say that it would have been better if it would have happen in July since we were planning on Stacy quiting then anyways. We are very excited since Stacy will be able to stay home with Daniel for a month before the baby comes. She was able to turn off all of her alarm clocks and will love sleeping in. (Daniel wakes us at 7:00 am every morning regardless of what time he went to bed) She is going to be able to finish Daniel's room and get Baby Sam's room ready also. Debbie get ready to have Stacy over every day!!!!!

Feliz took some pictures of Daniel for Easter - here are a couple of them.

Did you know PAINT GOES EVERYWHERE

2009-03-29T17:13:00.000-07:00

This past week we decided to paint Daniel's room. It was to be a RED (like CARS) but oh what a process. I was able to get off early one night and Stacy and I went to Lowes and got the paint. When we got home I took all the trim off and Daniel's door and started to paint the edges. Daniel would sleep in our room that night. I thought that I had the next day off but I got a call at 6 AM asking where I was. I forgot that I had signed up for an extra shift. So I had to race to work and leave Daniel's room and mess. That meant another night of Daniel sleeping in our room. So when I got home I put a second coat on the edges and had a great plan to get up early and finish the room. No, I did not sleep in but I got up early and went to Lowes it get a few things. When I got home I was about to start when I found out that was missing a piece from my electric painting roller (I love it). So I had to return to Lowes and to buy the missing piece and get to work. They did not have it so I bought a push roller that had a piece that I thought was the same but was not. I started to go and was going strong until the paint stopped coming out of the roller. I started to look around and found a puddle of blood by the roller pump. I had to clean the paint and throw the paint way in the roller since I could not get it out of the pump. By that time I lost about half the paint and had to go to lowes the third time to get more paint just to find out that they did not have the paint and had to go to Kennewick to get it. Stacy went and got it and after only 3 days and 6 hours I finished. We do love the color and next is Baby Sam's Room. Hope you like the pictures.

2009-03-07T10:03:00.000-08:00

New date for baby Sam. It is now June 5th and we are very excited. Stacy's Doc stated that from the last ultrasound that the baby further along than we thought. It that leaves a a little less time to prepare her room. I just wanted to put throw out that the plan for her blessing is the first Sunday of July. Well take care.

new computer

2009-02-21T18:35:00.000-08:00

After 5 years with our Dell laptop it has bit the dust. Stacy and I last night went computer shopping and since I'm blogger to you this day means that we have bought one. I must say that it cost more than I would like but that it is a good computer. It has a 24 inch screen, twice as fast as our dell and 4 x the memory. of course daniel is all about the "new toy". In the same breath my cell phone fell and after words would not charge. Me trying to fix it made it even worse but tearing a cord to the screen thus not picture. We can get new phones but we are really leaning towards going with Verizon since we have had alot of problems with at&t. I know that most of you all are with at&t so if we change please don't call since we are not longer in the same network. just kidding.

JACKSEN

2009-02-03T20:40:00.000-08:00

Well it's been a year since we lost Jacksen. It doesn't seem like it at all. I saw this and it took the words right out of my mouth. I miss you every day Jack. You are dearly missed. I can't wait for the day when I see you. We love you and miss you tons.

BABY

2009-01-25T11:32:00.001-08:00

WERE HAVING A GIRL!! WE ARE GOING TO NAME HER SAMANTHA VERELLA DIAZ! DUE DATE IS JUNE 11TH!!

Ashton Family Vacation

2009-01-25T10:35:00.001-08:00

Well I thought I would share some of our family pictures taken up at my parents cabin at Priest Lake. We had such a great time. I can't wait to go back!!

Don't they look like they are having soo much fun!!

2008-12-19T16:27:00.000-08:00

Well for all of you that live in Washington this is no new news but we have snow here. I was really starting to get worried because for some time it looked like we were going to have a dry winter. I bought some cool inner tubes for sleding and they should be here today. That means that Daniel and I are going to have to test them out this Saturday. We will be taking them up to the Ashton cabin this week and test them out in the mountains. I hope that our next blog will have some pictures of us using them. Right now we have about 4 inches but it is suppose to snow for the next couple of days and so that will be great. I have had to take Stacy to work a few days this week due the crazy drivers out there. Well I hope that you all have a great weekend as we prepare for christmas next week.

2008-12-10T10:30:00.000-08:00

No new pictures at this time but I just wanted to say since we have this great handy blog I didn't think that are going to send out christmas cards. Stacy is not very happy about it but my thinking is that the people we love check our blog through out the year and know how we are doing. Plus, I don't want to have to spend the $$$ on on making them and then mailing them. I would like your input. I know that alot of you are going to say that if posted my often then it would work. Well we will in the future. That will be a New Year Resolution.

2008-11-22T08:30:00.000-08:00

Hello all

It has been some time since our last posting. Things are going well here in Pasco. As every Mormon family knows the movie Twilight is out and last night everyone went to see it. Well I did not but I was able to go over to my moms and spend time with Missy's little girls. Here are some cute pictures of all 3 of them.

As all know the due date of the baby is June 11th. I have decided that it is time for TIOLET TRAINING for Daniel. This morning when he got up I put him on and since then I have had underwear on. I have today and Sunday off, Stacy has Monday off and I have Tuesday and Wednesday off.... Lets just say that we have a little period to try and I think it is time. I will be glad not to some $100 a month on diaper for a few months. Here is a picture of Daniel in his big boy bottoms.

This time we hope it is different

2008-11-07T09:36:00.000-08:00

Hello to all again. From our last blog we told every you all that Stacy is going to have a baby. Daniel still does not really know what is going on but is still saying "baby, mommy tummy." Stacy had her first OB-GYN apppointment and all looks so far. Stacy is still battling the 24 hour/7 day a week "morning" sickness but we hope that is will end soon. With Daniel, Stacy was sick the entire 9 months. We are going to have the baby at Kennewick General (where I work) and if all goes well she will have a VBAC. The due date is June 11 or 12th. We our excited for Daniel to have a brother or sister here soon.
One last word before I go. This has been an exciting week for this nation. Even though McCain lost (the one I voted for), I feel that many people think that the next four years is going to be all bad news. I try to look at the good side of everything and hope that the years to come will get better. I ask that we must do two things. 1st, is that we CONTINUE pray for our leaders. That means church and government. 2nd, that we CONTINUE to write to our government officials and let our voices be heard. We have been taught to pray as if everything depended on the Lord and then work as if everything depended on us. This is the only way we might have true change. We might get alot and I mean alot of flack for doing so (look what is happening to the Saints in California) but this is our duty to do so.

2008-10-25T10:38:00.001-07:00

Hello to all. Let me come out at say that that Stacy is “with child”. Yes, Yes Stacy is pregnant and we are very excited. We found out when we were at conference and have decided to tell all now. As many of you know Stacy was very sick while pregnant with Daniel and it looks like it will be 9 months of the same this time also. We are all very excited and it is fun to hear Daniel say “Baby mama tummy.” We think that the due date is some time in June or July. Stacy is about 6 weeks along. If you did not know we have been trying since last year and if it did not have this month then I was going to have to get my “junk” tested. You can’t keep a stud down for too long. We will keep all informed of the progress.

2008-10-11T01:08:00.000-07:00

Hello, Hello to all. Stacy and I have just set up our BLOG due to some heavy pressure from family. It will be nice to set it up so that we can post the comings and going of the Diaz family. We don't promise that it will be updated every few days like many of you do but we will try. Stacy most likely will be doing most of the blogging but I will try to post some things every once in a while. Well take care.
