What's Going On

Busy, busy, busy. What a busy week. Monday started with the arrival of our new puppy Oreo: Half German Shepherd, half Border Collie. As we all know, with a new puppy comes lots of work... training, feeding, walking, feeding, playing, feeding and some sleep. Her first night was a little rough, but she is now doing great. The kids absolutely love her and she is darling. Ginger seems to be happier now with a companion since the passing of our beloved Shadow. Still, it's sad knowing how much the kids miss shadow even though they love their new puppy (especially when Kenzie calls her Shadow).

The weekend was set up to be a challenging one for Micky. She had her Carnival of Champions competition (a district wide track meet) in which she ran the 100 meter dash and was the anchor for the 4x100 relay race. Their school finished in 6th place and we are so proud of the time and dedication that McKenna put in to prepare for this event. After that, she went to her soccer game and scored 2 goals for her team which ended with a 5-5 tie.

To end our weekend, we had the priveledge of attending the Sacrament program that was put together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Whittier Stake. We are always enlightened when Grandpa Jack gets to speak, it always feels like he's got a message that speaks to directly to us.

Hasta la proxima...

Party Weekend

Well we celebrated Noah's 5th birthday this weekend and as always we had a good time with friends and family. On Friday night, Holly, Annie Laurie and Erin Leigh came to sleep over and hang out with us. We dyed and decorated eggs, played some video games and had some cake and ice cream. We went to bed to prepare for the long day ahead.

Saturday morning came and we headed down to Garden Grove to get some soccer games in for Micky and Noah. They both did very well and enjoyed every moment of it. It is a delight to see your child play your favorite sport and realize what it was like for when you were young and learning. After that we headed home to change and freshen up.

Party Time!!! We celebrated Noah's party at My Gym. For those of you who haven't done a party there, it is a must. Everyone had such a great time playing games, watching puppet shows eating pizza and cake, riding the zip line and enjoying a bubblestorm. The highlight of the night was our family Easter egg hunt and Nerf War. We can't think of one person that did not enjoy either participating or spectating in this family game. Now that everyone's had a taste, hopefully we can get one going for the next family reunion.

Enjoy some fun video.

(Remember to turn off music to hear video)

We also celebrated Easter with Family this weekend. We love holidays at the Henao home and love to continue the tradition that has been set forth by our parents. Not only do we love Easter as a holiday, but we remember the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. This is and should be an important day to all of us. Remember to give thanks for everything he has done for us.

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Birthday Noah!!!

Our little buddy turns 5 today. He has been such a blessing and joy to our family. He's always so full of spirit, energy and funny jokes. We hope that he enjoys this special day and we look forward to many more memories. In the meantime, enjoy a walk through memory lane.

There and Back Again.....

Candice and I decided to get brave this week. We packed all the kids into the Suburban and headed on over to see Katie and her family in Las Vegas. We have made this road trip many times before, but never in one car and not to mention no husbands to help us out. It turned out really well. We only got to stay 1 1/2 days, but we made the most of our time. Katie always plans fun things for us to do when we come out to visit her. The cousins are always SO glad to see each other and enjoy every moment they have together.....as do we sisters.

Catching Up....

March came and went very quickly this year for our family. The pics are a "quick" catch up. Alex has been teaching me how to do the blog by myself. I am now the new author and he is now my technical support. So wish me luck.
