This fruit "jaboticaba" grows on the trunk.
This is the entrance to Lee's family's ranch. It's so beautiful there!
Me, Priscila, and Liheldna and some of their kids. Thomas and Maile are just 1 month apart!
My sister-in-laws (minus 1). We have fun together!
These are all the little girls about 1 year apart in age from each other. I took these dresses so they could get their picture together but we couldn't get smiles out of them on cue. :)Lee's parents.
this was the day we got there! so sunny and beautiful. this is out the window of their apartment. Lovin' the view!!!
By now you that pass by our blog every once in awhile know that I only update it every few months and only when something eventful happens. :) We went to Brazil for 10 days in March and it was total paradise! Hot beach weather and it was so much fun to spend time with Lee's family. Whenever we visit it's fun to get together with my 5 sister-in-laws and the 17 grandchildren and just talk and play. My favorite is listening to my sogra's (mother-in-law) stories- she is such a talker but has so much passion for life and the Gospel- I love it. I had fun laying by the pool, going to the beach, the mall, eating the yummy food, seeing old friends and family and the last day Lee had a bunch of friends over for a game of soccer at his parent's ranch. It was so much fun. Brazil reminds me so much of my mission and I love the people so much- it's neat that I actually have family there now. Maile had fun this time with all the kids even though it brought out her possesive side and she did a lot of grabbing toys away saying "NO!" and "mine!". Oh gal. But she's learning to play better with other little ones and it was fun to see her pick up on the Portuguese. The traveling was very tiring (15 hours in the airplane!) but all I can say is...we did it and it was totally worth it.
Ever since we got home I've been really sick and now that I'm feeling better I look out the window at the snow and can't help but feel a bit depressed. I just really am anxious for the Spring! I definitely do better in a warm climate. Oh well, now that our trip is over I am looking forward to General Conference and the tulips coming up in our front yard. Beijos.

I would be very tempted to pick up and move my life to Brazil if I were you. It looks like a dream! Maile is getting so old, I love her long hair! We need to get together now that you are back!
I popped over to tell you to tell your cute parents that it was me waiving to them last Sunday....they pulled up behind me on the way to church and i'm sure had no idea who i was! I was so happy that i got to see Brasil pics!! Post MOre! You are so lucky so have family there.... I love it, I miss Brasil sooo much, i miss speaking Portuguese 24/7, I miss everything about that place. Part of my heart is there and always will be. I'm just going to live vicariously through your life! Que familia tao bonita, e sua filha e bonitinha de mais! SAUDADES do Brasil. Espero que tudo esteja bem- mil beijos. PS Can i come and be one of your Brasilian sister-in-laws just for fun!!!???
