My two little treasures
I love my two little treasures, Heavenly Father has blessed us so much, we are so grateful for our kids. I wish I had more free time to post more often but I do now so I will take this chance to talk a little bit about what is going on with the kids.
VANESSA: We love this sweet girl! we love how femenine she already looks, we love her demanding little but loud screams, her black hair and brown eyes and cute button nose makes us want to hug her and kiss her all the time. She brings a sweet spirit in the home, she has started to smile and it is just adorable, hopefully we will get a picture of it soon. I can't believe that she is already a month and a half old, part of me loves it because hopefully that means she will start sleeping better! She loves to cuddle in bed with us, and we really like that. Her personality is a lot like Danny's when he was a baby so we are going to be really busy for a long time. She is easily loved by everybody who meets her, my sisters love her and always want to hold her, she brings the sweet soft side of everybody in the house when they are around her. VANESSA WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I look forward to Vanessa sleeping better and getting her ears pierced when she is 3 or 4 months, oh she is going to look even more cute!
DANNY: He is a great older brother. He has done so well with the new change in our lives. Sure, he gets a little jealous sometimes, but most of the time he loves being around her and rubbing her head, putting a blanket on her legs, putting her pacifier back in her mouth, oh and we think it is so sweet when he tries to say her name, to him it is not Vanessa, it is: NE! (at least he can say part of her name hahaha) He loves to play, eat lots of fruits, he likes playing peek a boo, he loves to be chased, he likes to wrestle, he is still very much in love with stuff animals, he has recently found books interesting so we read him some baby books sometimes, although he usually won't let us finish the book because he wants to take the book and be the one that flips the pages. He LOVES to dance, our little guy has some great Latino genes in him, he loves to dance salsa, merengue, bachata.....but he pretty much just likes to dance to any fun, up beat music. We love him so much, I love how his imagination just keeps growing, he's learned to entertained himself better, but what he really loves is when everybody in the house plays with him, he likes that kind of attention and gets really happy. For Danny I look forward for spring and summer to come so I can take our little energetic son to play outside and do more outdoor activities, I do not look forward to potty training him since it is easier to have him in diapers right now but he shows signs that he is ready so we will start soon, maybe in a month or two.
*I forgot to add that Danny really likes turning on and off the TV in my parents room.
*Yesterday I turned on some cartoons on the computer for Danny, I turn around and he had made himself confortable on his little couch, with a blue pillow under his feet, a big white pillow on his lap to rest his arms on, and a blanket around him...he was ready to watch some cartoons haha! what a silly guy, when did he learn to do all that?
We are beyond grateful to be here at my parent's house, the help they give me has been beyond awesome, I don't know how people do it with more than 2 kids, but I definitely look up to them! As far as things are right now I am super busy, if it's not with the kids, it's doing laundry or cleaning the rooms, or making meals, or feeding the kids, and I could keep on going because it is a long list, but above all this I have never been so happy, our little family feels complete, and that is a good feeling.

Or lives with 2 kids
Our lives with two kids have been very exciting and a little challenging, especially the hours of sleep we no longer get. But we are beyond happy with our little family of 4. Vanessa is a sweet baby and doesn't care who holds her as long as she feels loved. We use to call her, "la gatita" because she would never cry, she just meowed, at least that's what it sounded like, but that only lasted about a week. She now yells when she is upset ( Ah!). Danny has done so well as far as getting use to having a sister and sharing the attention, he likes to come in the room and cuddle with her... he is so sweet to her, we love it! So here is the best news: VANESSA SLEPT 6 HOURS LAST NIGHT! It was the perfect way to start of the new year.

Dancin' danny
As you all well know, our son loves to dance! The thing is he won't dance to just any kinda music...if you know what mean. He wants something upbeat and rhythmic. Anyway, abuelo was playing some music for Danny that he just wasn't feelin', so he left to go play in abuela's drawers. But all of a sudden, abuelo put on some "good" music (music that Danny can cut the rug too) and look what happens.....

Our Christmas
This Christmas was extra special because we had Vanessa to celebrate it with. We had a Christmas party on the 24th with lots of yummy food that my mom prepared; we danced, we watched movies and had family home evening were we talked about the importance of Christ in our lives, we had a great time together, and at midnight we opened presents!!! Danny didn't opened his
until the next morning on the 25th because he was asleep. It will be even more fun next year because the kids will be a little older. *Thank you everyone for your Christmas gifts, specially the ones for Danny and Vanessa.

Vanessa Joy Hinkson is finally here!
Ok so here is the story: I had a couple "false" labors for the past 2 weeks, and on Sunday I went to get checked at the hospital again, even though I was 4cm dialted and 80% effaced, they told me to go home because contractions were not consistent enough. But I decided to stay and walk around the hospital for an hour and have them check me after that to see if I had made some progress. Daniel went back home to put Danny to bed; 10min after he left, my water broke! AMAZING! Vanessa Joy Hinkson was born after only 3 hours of labor (horray!) at 11:26pm and her weight: 6lbs 9z, even though she was 3 weeks early, she is as healthy as can be. I am so glad to be back home, I missed Danny so much and was constanly worried about him even though I knew he was well taken care of by my family and Daniel. Daniel and I are so grateful for my family's support and for all they do to help us out when we need someone to take care of Danny. We are so blessed to have Vanessa with us, we are so grateful for extended family that was thinking about us. Thank you everybody for your love! Enjoy the pictures of our little princess.

My Birthday!
I have not had a birthday on a Sunday for a long time, but it was a very peaceful regular Sunday, it was so nice to be surrounded by the people I love. Thank you everybody for a wonderful weekend!
*This video makes me laugh because I think everybody is only concentrated on Danny....in fact, I am 99% sure that they were singing happy birthday to him not me! haha.
