Teaching aerobics and making baby food

I have been busy lately planning my aerobics classes. I didn't realize how much I would love it. My friend Julie got me to do it, at first I was kind of tentative thinking not very many people would come, but every time there have been more and more people there. I teach a power toning class with cardio in between like interval training. It has been great everyone brings their kids and they all play and run around us while we work out. Malia turned 6 months on the 12th of January and is rolling all over our living room she is getting more and more active. Tacoma is speaking better and better everyday he saying a lot in both Spanish and English. Malia and Tacoma are playing together more lately. Tacoma likes to help hold her, feed her and make her laugh. But he is the first to get mad at her if she grabs his toys he will say NO NO Malia lou lou! I also have made a lot of baby food probably too much but oh well I have made carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, Zucchini with patatoe and carrots, and pears. I cooked and blended the food then put it in ice cube trays then transfer it to a zip-lock bag. It is great because each cube is one serving. Today Tacoma also learned about the letter F for Flower. We cut out his hands for the flower and used the letter F for the stem.

Christmas and New years fun!

Sledding with Tacoma Mauriella and Mason's Birthday party Snowshoeing with Malia and Tacoma Tacoma sitting on the potty trying to be a dinosaur We had a great Christmas we spent Christmas Eve with Pauls family in Provo and drove to Logan that night to open presents with my sister Steph, her family, my parents and brother Stevie. It was fun to see Tacoma open presents this year because he understood a little bit more about Santa, reindeer and snowmen. The kids took turns opening gifts but they all ended up helping everyone, So Tacoma opened alot more presents than he got. Tacoma got Imaginext dinosaurs with the castle and cavemen, Mcqueen legos with Mac and the helicopter, more and more cars and a disel truck to store them in. Malia got a little superstar to watch her self in the mirror and play music, train that pops up balls, and clothes. I don't think Tacoma really understood which toys were his because he was so excited helping everyone open there presents, until we got home. My parents came and celebrated new years with us we cooked an Elsalvadorean style Turkey, rice, veggies and guacamole with hard boiled eggs, onions and cheese soo good! then we watched movies the rest of the night. We usually like to dance and listen to Merenque and Salsa but my mom just had surgery so we just relaxed. We also were able to go to Mason and Mauriella's birthday party on the 28th of December at the sports academy gymnastics all the kids had tons of fun.
