American girl

I'm an American girl now :-)
In September I sent my papers to apply for my citizenship and the whole thing was really fast. So December 17th I had my ceremony in West High School in Salt Lake City and it was great. I was so emotional during the ceremony, so grateful for the opportunity and remembering all that happened during my life to be able to be right there.
There were 147 people from 49 countries. From Brazil it was me and 3 more people. The biggest group was from Mexico with 39 people.
Andrew, Daphne and Calvin were there too. They sat a few rows behind me, but Calvin fell asleep during the ceremony. I just love my family so much and I am so grateful for all the support they give me.
It was great to be part of something so important, I will never forget.

Baby #3 is on the way

Some people already know that I'm expecting our 3rd baby, so I decided to come write it down here on the blog too :)
I found out right after Thanksgiving and it was a great surprise. We already wanted another baby, but it happened faster than expected hehe
I'm due on August 1st, so I still have a long time to go. I had a doctor appointment at 6 weeks and 6 days and we got to see the little bean, it was so special!

I can't wait until my next appointment :)

California (September)

We decided to go to California for a quick vacation with the kids and it was awesome. We got to see so many different places. Everyone that knows me, knows that I love to see the Temples, so every time we go somewhere that has a temple close by, I have to stop to see and take a picture. So after this trip we got to see all the temples in California.
Here are some pictures of what we did there.
Day 1 and 2:
We stayed with some friends in Hurricane, UT.

Day 3:
We drove to California and on the way to our hotel we stopped to see the Redlands Temple. At night time we took the kids to Downtown Disney and they loved it, everything was all lit up.

Day 4:
We spent the whole day at Disneyland, it was so hot, but it was awesome. Daphne enjoyed every minute of it, she didn't complain even for a second. Calvin did great too.

Day 5:
It was a looong day, hehe we drove to see the Newport Beach Temple, the San Diego Temple, then we went to the USA/ Mexico border, we walked on the Border Field State Park all the way to the ocean and to finish the day we went to the Mormon Battalion Historic Site.

Day 6:
We didn't do a lot, we basically just drove through some places and stopped to take pictures at the Fresno, CA Temple.

Day 7:
We really enjoyed that day, we started the day going to Carmel Beach and the kids loved playing in the water. After that we went to Monterey Bay and we fed the seagulls and the ground squirrels. Later in the day we drove to the Oakland, CA Temple and to end the day, we drove through San Francisco.

Day 8:
We started to drive back home, but on our way we got to stop at the Sacramento, CA and Reno, NV Temples.

Our trip was amazing, we got to spend the whole time together and see new places.

Calvin's first steps

Today (November 19th) Calvin took his first steps, it was so cute and got me by surprise. I started to record him standing and then he started to walk in my direction, I got so excited!! I think you can tell by my voice on the video., hehe

Sweet baby

That's a combination of little videos of Calvin from the past few weeks. Look how fast my sweet baby boy is growing.
