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!

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.

The Ambriz Family Is Vlogging

It's been way too long!

Well, we're back and we have a special treat for all of you.

But first let's do a quick recap.

1. Anthony is working full-time at Connor Group/ Solden Services as their Senior Brand Marketing Manager.
2. Anthony is no longer doing freelance and/or consulting work for the time being.
3. Anthony is working with some friends to partner up on a new business venture, but this won't require him to leave his job anytime soon.
4. Rebekah received a raise for being an awesome employee at Vivint!
5. Veronica finished off her first soccer season and won the last game she played.
6. Naomi is talking a lot more and saying a few words here and there.

Not sure if I left anything out, but that's the recap.

Now to the big news!

Yes, we started vlogging and documenting our lives for people to see. Those people are mainly family, friends, and anyone curious about how to raise bilingual daughters and teach your wife Spanish.

That is the whole premise of our vlogs. Sure it will show what we are up to, but it will focus on learning Spanish, speaking Spanish, and becoming bilingual. It was also be a way to document our progress so that in 5 years we leave the United States and move to Cancun, Mexico for 1 year.

Here are the first two vlogs we've made so far.

Let us know what you think and also enjoy this fun gallery of pictures we've recently taken!
