The Zambrana Family: January 2009

Friday, January 9, 2009

Okay, in Aaron's defense, after the toothbrush incident, he got me a big gift for Easter to make up for it. He has gotten better over the years, but I usually tell him to get me gift cards or go with my brother-in-law Lance who is great at choosing gifts. Aaron's good qualities definitely out weigh his bad. I'd much rather have a husband who is not so great at choosing gifts but honors his priesthood and is not afraid of a little (in his case a lot) hard work to support our family.

Every Christmas Aaron plans a party for those who work with him and their families. We always do the traditional White Elephant gift exchange. This years party was at John's Incredible Pizza. The little and the big kids had a great time.

About Us

Life is Crazy, Fun, Exciting, Interesting, Frustrating, Intense, Amazing, Discouraging, Encouraging, Hopeful, Overwhelming, and Wonderful, but it is definitely not Boring. I love being married to Aaron and take comfort in the knowledge that we are a forever family. We have been blessed with four exceptional children and I thank God for them every day.

Matthew (Matt) is our eldest and is a very smart boy. He loves working with his hands just like his dad. He is a hard worker and is always willing to help out. He enjoys going to Boy Scouts and has had a great time going on camp outs with his troop.

Ammon is our second son and he baffles us with his ability to figure things out. If we need help with computers, cell phones, ipods, or other electronics, we ask him, and he is usually able to figure it out. He excels in school and is a joy to have in our home. Ammon is in cub scouts and is looking forward to the annual pinewood derby.

Amalie is our first daughter and she is very crafty. She loves making flowers for her hair and sewing things for her stuffed animals and dolls. She also loves to cook and help mom in the kitchen. She enjoys playing with peoples hair and has become quite good at braiding.

Zoie is our youngest and definitely our biggest mess maker. Her little mind never stops. She loves to be read to and would spend all day with a book...I'm looking forward to the time when she can read all by herself. She is our snuggle bug and loves to give and get hugs and kisses. She is very outgoing and makes new friends wherever she goes.

Aaron is the best husband and father. The kids love it when he plays games with them (even though he never lets them win). After work he often jumps on the trampoline, plays tickle time out, or just watches as the kids show him things they've done that day. He enjoys reading to the kids almost every night before they go to sleep. He has developed a new hobie/talent during the past few years--when he's not working on the business, he can often be found on the computer doing some videography. You'll have to check out some of his postings on youtube.

We are truly blessed...we have always had what we need, mainly because Aaron is such a hard worker (but I believe faith is involved too). I love Aaron and am grateful to have him as my husband. I keep myself busy working in the kids classes at school and am trying to run an efficient home. I enjoy trying out new recipes, reading, exercising, and spending time with the kids. I look forward each week (or sometimes every other week) to when Aaron and I get to go out (date night) and spend time with each other. I love my family and do this blog as a gift to them. Life is Great!
