THE VACATION IS OVER!

Last week Rebekah, Veronica, and I went on a family vacation to California to celebrate our littles turning 6 years old.

She had a blast! She smiled and laughed all day. It was one surprise after another each day was a new experience for her. Rebekah and I also had a ton of fun even though Rebekah had an injured foot and I'm so out of shape and was going off very little sleep. We made it through and enjoyed every minute of it.

We didn't get to post our videos up during our vacation because our days were as follows. up at 6AM and back at the hotel by midnight. The Internet at our hotel wasn't that great either. But this week I'll be taking the hours of footage and making them into 10 minute videos. Most likely be Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and so forth. I also had a plan of creating a special video for Veronica, which was put on hold. But I do plan to create it and release it before the month ends.

Here is the vlog of our trip to California!


And here is the Vlog of the day before our big trip!

One More Week Until

Veronica Ambriz and Abraham Lincoln at Scheels

It's been a month and one week since we've been trying to teach our girls Spanish. We haven't been as consistent as we've wanted to be, but we're doing our best. It's difficult indeed to teach a 5 (soon to be 6 year old) and a 1.5 year old Spanish.



This month has brought with it some unique opportunities such as:

Being able to give a friend a MacBook Pro laptop to use for editing his daily vlogs.



Going shopping for our trip to California, which I'll talk more in our next blog post.



We had a super fun Saturday going shopping for the summer and going to Scheels for the first time. Rebekah and I finally got to go on a date. We went on a double date to Keys on Main, a dueling piano bar in Salt Lake City, Utah.





And we openly let the world know that we're Mormon in our vlog. I know we're been fairly open about it in our blog, but this was the first time talking about it in our vlogs.



One more week until we hit the road to California for a whole week of fun at Disneyland, California Adventure, and all the beaches we can visit!

One Whole Month of Vlogging!

We've been vlogging for one whole month! Super exciting to know we've created 31 videos in 31 days. A video a day seems crazy.

What's amazing about vlogging is that we can now go back to any of those days in May and see what memories we made. (Not all days because there were some we just took a break, but still made something for people to watch and enjoy).

As of right now I feel we will continue doing daily vlogs for about 7 years. The 5 years it takes us to move to Cancun, Mexico and the 1 year we spend there and the year we return to the United States. Maybe we continue after that, who knows, but as of now we love it.

We've made some new friends along our vlogging journey. We've also gotten out of our comfort zone and had some fun adventures.

I can truly say vlogging changes your life. Not only do you become more self aware, accountable for your own actions, but you become accountable to others as they view your life.

Well, that's enough writing for today. Here is the playlist that shows are entire month of May.

Daily Vlogs And Weekly Blogs

Ever since starting our daily vlogging adventure, which by the way we've kept going for a full two weeks now!

We've noticed it's a bit difficult to blog, but it's not like we were any good at being consistent with our blog. I guess because it was a lot harder for me to get Rebekah to blog than it has been to get her to vlog.

But we're keeping the blog alive! Maybe in the future we turn it into something bigger?! Like a full blown website!!!!! With merchandise, Spanish lessons, and other fun goodies?

Actually no! We wouldn't do that unless it was something that our viewers wanted. And all this that we're doing is mainly done to keep awesome memories, show our family and friends what we're up to, and to document our experience in teaching our girls Spanish and speaking Spanish a lot more.

We haven't been all that great at it, but we're taking it one step at a time. We really appreciate the love and support from family and friends, and even strangers.

We're doing our best to get comfortable at vlogging so we can focus more on the actual teaching of Spanish and incorporating it more. This week coming up we're going to try and do an entire vlog in Spanish except for when we have to translate for the girls. We'll see how it goes, it should be fun.
