We had 3 birthdays over August and September. Twins Aug. 23, Daddy Aug.24, Bailee Sept. 5.

Been a Long Time

WOW! It has been a long time! Sorry to all who check my blog. Life has gotten busy in the Vargas house. Just a quick catch up. I was supposed to have my gall bladder out on July 18th, but the good Lord surprised us with a, YOUR PREGNANT! So I still have my gall bladder and and waiting for March 18th to get here. I have been very sick, but am doing much better. The doctors have given me medicine to control the sickness and I am feeling more normal now.
The girls have all had birthdays! Anais and Isabel are now officially 2! Bailee is now officially 5 and a Kinderdgartner! I am going to post some pictures, so stay tuned!

Picture order

I should specify-
Top-Bailee
Middle-Anais
Lower-Isabel
Just so you know the twins in the pictures that I posted under the 4th of July.

4th of July

These are just a few pictures from our 4th of July celebration. We had a fun time, but it was a very late night. The fire works did not start until 10:00. The girls enjoyed them though. I was worried that the Anais and Isabel would be afraid, but the clapped and ooooed and ahhhhed with everyone else. Bailee just laughed and giggled the entire show. I will write more later to catch up on our last few weeks. Sorry that the posting has not been regular. I will catch up though. Much love from the Vargas Family

Hot Hot Hot!!!

Well I guess we are having a heat wave!! It has been very hot, high 90's or a little over 100. We have set up the kids' pool in the back yard in the shade. So it makes it a more pleasant day. My girls were not born swimmers though. Bailee has her float swimsuit and she will only sit in the 3 inch deep water and the twins won't even get in the water. So we are trying to learn to get used to the water. Silly girls! I will try and get some pictures of them swimming. Well I am going to end with that for today.

Doctors and more Doctors

well Bailee bug is sick once again. The doctor said that she has an ear infection. Well as the day went on, she felt more sick, her fever shot up, and she was complaining of a soar throat. I looked in her mouth tonight while I was brushing her teeth and UUGGGHH!! The whole roof of her mouth looks like red strawberry dots and her throat is covered in puss pockets. MY POOR BABY!! So we are on fever duty tonight. Or should I say I am on fever duty tonight. I can't sleep through my alarm though. Last time I did (a few weeks ago) Bailee had a seizure from her fever getting so high. Now I have several different alarms to set. Oh my doctor went okay. My gallbladder is only putting out 10% of the 65% that it is supposed to. So hopefully that 10% will hold out a little bit longer. I don't have time to get sick or especially have surgery. Anyways, another doctor day gone by... :) Just so everyone knows. This is Isabel, I think, sometimes old pictures are hard for me to tell just who it is. But I am just posting pictures at random. This one is from our move. I believe that it was taken in Texas.

Long Day Already

Today started with two friends of mine coming over and helping me in the yard. Shara stayed inside with the kids and Tanya and I hit the yard. WOW!! We have a lot of over grown stuff out there. It looks sooo much better now. We finished about half of it and will tackle it again another day. That was a good workout though. :) The girls had fun playing. So now it is after nap time and it is time to enjoy our evening. We are working at getting dinner started and then heading to Bible study.

The twins had a great time at the ice cream social! Anais is in the pink, Isabel in the green. We finally caught a picture of them being nice to eachother.. lol

Another week ahead of us. We had a great weekend with lots of activities. Saturday we enjoyed an ice cream social with our church family. The girls had a great time. There was a huge yard for everyone to run around, rocks to climb on and a bridge. Today, we enjoyed lunch after Church with friends. Which Bailee loved because they had lots of toys at their house. Daddy had to work after lunch, but the girls and I came home for a nap! It was hot in Greenwood today. In the 90's with humidity! We are going to have a long summer trying to acclimate to the humidity. So next summer should be nice. :) I hope everyone had a wonderful day!!

Back Home

Well we made it back from Columbia. Now it is time for the dinner rush and bedtime routines. :) Driving through South Carolina is like driving through a tunnel of tall trees. Makes you feel a little closed in if you are used to being on the West Coast. I am going to try and get some pictures on here so that we can keep everyone updated. Have a great night!

This was our Easter picture, before we realized that we had sat the girls in an ant pile!! Needless to say, we didn't get many group pictures of the girls this day. No one would sit down after this.

Isabel, Bailee, Anais

Oh how we love to drive. We live in Greenwood SC. A desent sized town, around 25,000. But no doctors in this town take our military insurance. So we must drive to every doctors appt. Today we are heading to Columbia, SC for a follow up appt. on Anais. She had tubes placed in her ears 1 month ago. She has been fever free for 1 month, until now. So good thing we are headed to the doctor.

About Us

As many of you know we are a family of 5. Three precious little girls, Bailee 4years, Anais 21mos, Isabel 21mos. Bailee is an amazing big sister! Especially since she was blessed with the job of being a big sister to twins! They are also a blessing and a handful! Always going, usually in opposite directions and always getting into big sisters stuff. Life in our home is busy, but we rejoice in every moment. The other 2 members of the family, are well, myself the mommy and of course the daddy. I am busy raising the girls, and homeschooling Bailee. We are almost finished with Preschool and will be starting Kindergarten in August. YIPEE!!! Bailee is very excited! I love the job the Lord has given me and strive to do work for his glory daily. Daddy, Humberto, is working as a recruiter for the Marine Corps. So his days consist of trying to find qualified men and women for the Marine Corps. And I say qualified, because there are plenty of the unqualified in our area. So he is working very long hours and usually is able to see us at Church on Sunday morning. We are counting down the months for this duty and we have somewhere around 32 months to go....uuugghhhh! But we are still doing well and making the best of the challenges that we face with military living. Oh and I can't forget our furry members of the family. Chika our very lovable mixed dog. She is our girls' playground and guard dog. Then there is Diego our little ball of energy, the Welsh Corgi. He likes to think that he is Chika's personal herder and loves to run around with the girls.
