Yesterday I posted about John getting his first top tooth. Well today he got his second one on the top. He is so cute.
Ayer publique acerca de John y su primer dientito de arriba. Bueno hoy le salio el segundo de arriba. Se ve tan lindo.
Finally. Today John got his first top tooth. His top gums have been really swollen for the last two months. Anyway, I just wanted to record that.
Finalmente hoy le salio el primer diente de arriba a John. Sus ensias de arriba han estado re inchadas estos ultimos meses. Bueno solo queria dejar asentado este acontecimiento.
Not all of you know this, but Mac was accepted to Rutgers University in New Jersey to get his PhD in Spanish American Literature. So the last couple of days Mac and I were in New Jersey visiting the school and getting to know the area. Rutgers paid for Mac's ticket, the hotel and some of the meals. They had us stay at the Hyatt and it was really nice. We left the kids with Grandpa and Grandma Wilson in Eden. Also Nikki and Holly helped take care of the kids. Thank you guys very much!!!! We left Wednesday night and flew all that night. We got there on Thursday morning and came home on Saturday. We had a good time and the people at the University treated us really well. They were all really nice. We spent most of the time at the university and one of the professors drove us around to help us get to know the area a little bit. We also visited the family housing apartments. We didn't really take much pictures but here are the ones we took. We still haven't made a decision if we are going to accept the school offer. But we have until April 1st to respond.
No todos ustedes saben pero Mac fue aceptado en la universidad de Rutgers en New Jersey para hacer su doctorado en español. Asi que los ultimos dias Mac y yo estvimos en New Jersey visitando la universidad y tratando de conocer un poco el area. Rutgers pago por el ticket the avion de Mac, el hotel y algunas de las comidas. Nos reservaron una habitacion en el hotel Hyatt y era re linda. Los chicos se quedaron con la abuela y el abuelo Wilson. Nikki y Holly tambien ayudaron a cuidar los chicos. Millones de Gracias!!! Nos fuimos el miercoles a la noche y viajamos durante toda la noche. Llegamos alla el jueves a la mañana y volvimos a casa el sabado. La pasamos muy bien y la gente en la universidad nos trataron re bien. Fueron muy buenos con nosotros. Estuvimos casi todo el tiempo en la universidad y uno de los profesores nos llevo en su coche a conocer un poco la ciudad. Tambien fuimos a ver los departamentos que la universidad tiene para alquilar para familias. Realmente no sacamos muchas fotos pero aqui puse algunas de las que sacamos. Todavia no hemos contestado a la universidad si vamos aceptar su oferta pero tenemos hasta el 1ro de Abril para decidir.

So everyone tells us that traffic is really bad in New Jersey and New York especially during rush hour. It looks like the airport has that problem too. As you can see in the picture we had to wait in line for like 20 minutes until we took off.
Todos nos dicen que el trafico en New Jersey y New York es terrible, especialmente durante las horas pico. Parece que hasta los aeropuertos tienen ese problema. Como pueden ver en la foto tuvimos que esperar en fila por 20 minutos hasta que despegamos.
Today I had my US Citizenship interview and everything went well. I passed the history and English test so now I just have to be sworn in at an Oath ceremony. Let me tell you a little bit about the history and English test. Before I had the interview they sent me a little book with like 100 questions and answers about American history that I had to study . They were going to test me on those question. Some of the questions were like... "What are the colors of the flag?" "How many states are in the United States?" etc. They asked me about 6 of these questions and the last one they made me read out loud to make sure I knew how to read. Then the last part of the test was to write one sentence that the person interviewing me dictated and that was to test if I knew how to write. This is what she asked me to write:
These are some pictures we took at Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's house for Easter (Saturday). Mac is not in the pictures because he is the one taking them. The other picture is of me at 29 weeks. On Saturday we had a brunch and then the kids had an easter hunt. It was really fun especially because there was still a lot of snow outside and Colleen hid the eggs in the snow. On Sunday it was nice and quiet. Colleen, Mac, Lili, John and I were the only ones there. But we had a really good Sunday dinner and a good time.
Estas son fotos que sacamos en la casa de los abuelos Wilson para Pascua (sabado). Mac no esta en las fotos porque el estaba sacando las fotos. Esta soy yo de 29 semanas. El sabado tuvimos un desayuno/almuerzo y despues los chicos tuvieron una busqueda de huevos. Fue bastante divertido ya que todavia habia mucha nieve y Colleen escondio los huevos en la nieve. El domingo fue bueno y tranquilo. Colleen, Mac, Lili, John y yo eramos los unicos en la casa pero tuvimos una rica cena y la pasamos muy bien.
Today it was a beautiful day so I decided to go outside with the kids. We went to the botany pond at BYU to feed the ducks. The truth is that the ducks didn't eat much bread because Lili and John kept eating it. After that we walked up to campus to see Mac and take him some lunch. I pushed John in the stroller and Lili walked all the way. She took her baby with her and I'm glad I had the camara with me so that I could take the last picture in this post. She grabbed her baby and told me she wanted to carry it like Mac carries her sometimes and so she put the baby on her shoulders. It was so funny especially because she thought she was carrying the baby right and she would not let me help her fix the baby so it wouldn't be head down. John was just enjoying the ride.
Hoy fue un dia hermoso asi que decidi salir afuera con los chicos. Fuimos a la lagunita de patos que hay en BYU a darle de comer a los patos. Bueno los patos no comieron mucho pan ya que Lili y John se lo comieron casi todo. Despues de ahi caminamos hasta el campus de BYU para ver a Mac y llevarle un almuerzo. A John lo tenia en el carrito y Lili camino todo el tiempo. Lili llevo su bebote con ella y yo estoy contenta que tenia la camara de foto conmigo que pude sacar la ultima foto que puse en esta entrada. Ella agarro a su bebe y me dijo que queria llevar a su bebe como Mac la lleva a ella a veces asi que agarro el bebe y se lo puso en los hombros. Fue gracioso porque ella penso que lo estaba llevando bien y no me dejaba que la ayude para ponerlo bien para que el bebe no estuviera boca abajo. John mientras tanto disfrutaba del paisaje sentado en el carrito. 
Finally today we got together with one of Mac's buddies from school, The Cluff. They've been talking about getting together since last year and for one reason or another we could never get together. This is what I made to take to their house. I also made a green salad. For dinner we had some pasta with home-made spaghetti sauce and breadsticks. Everything was really good. Thanks Ben and Shaunie for having us over.
Finalmente hoy nos juntamos con un amigo de Mac de la escuela, la familia Cluff. Mac y Ben han estado hablando de juntarnos desde el año pasado y por una razon u otra nunca nos podiamos juntar. Esto es lo que hice para llevar a su casa. Tambien prepare una ensalada. Alla comimos pasta con una salsa de tomate casera y pansitos caseros tambien. Todo estaba riquisimo. Gracias Ben y Shaunie por invitarnos.
Today we went to the Circus that they had at UVSC this weekend. It got kind of long but it was fun and the kids really liked it. Lili liked the elephants the most. I'm not sure if John liked it, he didn't say much. Mac really liked the tricky poodles. I thought they were really fun too. It was fun passing time together as a family.
Hoy fuimos al Circo que tenian en UVSC por este fin de semana. Se hizo un poco largo pero fue divertido y a los chicos les encanto. A Lili le re gusto los elefantes. A John no se, no me dijo. A Mac le gustaron los perros Caniche. A mi me gustaron tambien. Fue re lindo tener un tiempo juntos como familia.
I love these pictures of John and Lili playing together. Mac took them. I can't remember where I was but he was watching them.
Me encantan estas fotos de John y Lili jugando. Mac saco las fotos. No me acuerdo donde estaba yo pero Mac estaba cuidando a los chicos en ese momento.
Lorena called me last night and told me that they were having a free family movie night at the Wilkison Center at BYU. They were showing Over the Hedge. John was already in bed and I was really tired. She was going with Melanie and Axel and she wanted to know if I wanted to go. I told her I'll call her in a minute. I told Mac about it and he said.. Why don't you go with Lili? The first thing I thought was no way. I could picture Lili jumping up and down the chair at the movie and running around and making noises. Then Mac said come on it will be fun you can call it a momy-daughter date. Then I thought.... well at least is for free and if she starts going crazy then I can just come home. So we went and I'm really glad I did. Lili did SO GOOD. She didn't even get up once from her chair. They gave us free popcorn and she watch the whole movie while she eat her popcorn. She LOVED IT! After the movie was over we decided to go to McDonals and eat some hamburgers. The kids ate and play at the McDonals playground and they had a really good time. After that we went home and went to bed. What a great date I had with Lili.
Lorena me llamo ayer a la noche y me dijo que estaban pasando una pelicula gratis para las familias en un teatro de BYU. Estaban mostrando Over the Hedge (No se el nombre en español). John ya estaba durmiendo y yo estaba re cansada. Lorena estaba llendo con Melanie y Axel y queria saber si yo queria ir. Le dije que la llamaba en un minuto. Le dije a Mac y el me dijo..Porque no vas con Lili? La primera cosa que pense fue ni a palo. Me podia imaginar a Lili saltando en la silla del cine y corriendo por todos lados y haciendo ruido. Despues Mac me dijo dale va a ser lindo y podes hacer como que fue una sita de madre e hija. Despues pense...bueno por lo menos es gratis y si Lili se empieza a volver loca me vuelvo a casa y ya esta. Asi que fuimos y estoy re contenta de que fui. Lili se porto RE BIEN. Ni siquiera se levanto una sola vez de su silla. Nos dieron pochoclo gratis y ella miro toda la pelicula mientras comia su pochoclo. Le ENCANTO!. Despues de que termino la pelicula decidimos ir al McDonals y comer algo. Los chicos comieron y jugaron en los juegos y se divirtieron un monton. Despues de ahi nos fuimos a casa a la cama. Que hermosa sita que tuve con Lili.
