FINALLY AN UPDATE ON THE ESCOBARS!

Well it has been a very long time since I have posted anything on here! I apologize now! lol There has been so much that has happened in the last oh we'll say year or so. I will individualize on each and every person in my family! Don't worry there are only 5 of us!! Here we go!

Chris is still working at UPS and Marko. He loves what he does, but I'm not sure he loves his hours. lol He still continues to work out as much as possible to gain some weight, unfortunately I think I have gained his weight for him. He has been very active in the soccer lives of our girls. He will be coaching soccer for Alivia coming this fall of 2010. Alivia is very excited but I think a little scared. She knows he will be harder on her than any of them. lol He is very sad that the snowboarding season is over. BUT he has already gotten some camping plans set up. He and his male cousins are going to be doing there annual campout! While of course all of us wives stay home and take care of the children. Which is fare! As far as anything else he is almost 30 and staying healthy and strong.

Jana (myself) has FINALLY completed my high school education. Almost 7 yrs later! I finished in March. I have started Cosmetology at SLCC just recently. It will be my 4th day tomorrow, and I love it! Cosmetology has always been a dream of mine and I'm finally going to achieve it! There are a lot of things that I have been working hard for, since it was a resolution of mine. I might have bitten off more than I can chew, but so far I am doing it! I just recently have been focusing on my health and weight. I just started a diet this year and have lost almost 30 pounds. I exercise every morning, and have been losing weight consistently for a good 3 months. As far a work, well Im a stay at home mom so that is very hard work. I love every moment of it, although sometimes I want to sleep! lol Other than that I have been trying to achieve anything I put my mind to!

Alivia will be starting 2nd grade this coming fall. She will also be getting ready to be baptized in December! Man how time flies! She is doing very well in school, the teacher she has now absolutely loves her! She is very smart and a very good reader. Sometimes she reads better than I think. Sometimes she reads over my shoulder and it drives me crazy! lol She loves to do soccer, and is also involved in a dance class. She will be having a recital on the 2nd of June and is very excited! She knows her dance very well. She will be performing to "Don't Stop The Beat". A song from the musical "Hairspray". It is very cute! Alivia loves to sing, and does it very well, she also likes to draw and design dresses. I hope one day she will make money out of what she does. She also loves to tease her little sister, but hey who doesn't??

Sophia will be starting kindergarten this coming fall. She is very excited, Im worried because she is on this "LOVE" thing. Every time she comes home from school she says that there is a boy in her class that said he loves her. lol Sophia like Alivia loves to play soccer, sing, dance and everything else. And is very good at what she does! She can shake what her mama gave her! lol She just had surgery this year for tubes (again) and to have her tonsils removed. She is still wearing corrective lenses to try and correct her "Lazy Eye". So far we just keep getting and spending more and more money for her glasses. But whatever it takes I guess. She is also doing very well in school. She attends Ms. Amy's school and loves it! But hates that she can't share lips. lol

Just in August we welcomed a new family member. Isaac Enrique Escobar. He came in weighing 7lbs 11oz. He was born August 23rd 2009. He is a handful but has been a true blessing to this family! He is almost 9 months old and weighs almost 25 lbs. He has a lot of hair in which I have kinda made into a mohawk. He is a very happy baby, and is actually starting to turn into a mama's boy. He loves to be outside and definitely loves his sisters. They are a great help when it's needed. Sophia loves to make him laugh and makes some crazy faces to make his day. He has 2 teeth on the bottom but thats about it. He continues to grow and break my back!

All in all we have been a great family! We are currently working towards the temple which we are hoping to complete in October of this year 2010. We will have all 3 children sealed to us for time and all eternity! I am blessed to have such a wonderful husband to support me and the children in all we do, even when he is tired! Now I would like to share some stories of the girls that I continue to remember because they always make my day!

One morning we were trying to win Justin Bieber tickets for his concert coming up in July. (AVZ and SAZ LOOOVE JUSTIN!) I had sent numerous text mssgs to try and win these tickets. Well being that it is a radio station they send you a txt back to confirm they received your txt. Well SAZ decided that she was going to call the number. I walked into my room and heard SAZ say "OH THANKS! I LOVE YOU!" I asked her who it was and her response was "OH IT WAS JUSTIN BIEBER, HE SAID HE WANTED TO INVITE ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY TO HIS CONCERT AND HE LOVES ME"....What do you say to something like that other than say "GREAT LETS GO"........I almost feel pressured into going and buying Justin Bieber tickets! AHHHHH

AVZ came up to me..."MOM YOU SHOULDN'T GET TOO DARK FROM THE SUN" JZE "WHY?" AVZ "WELL BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU ALL OLD AND WRINKLY LIKE GRANDMA".....OH BUT SHE LOOOOVES HER GRANDMA!

I love my family, especially my children! They keep me young, fun and beautiful! -Jana
