On Friday, we drove to Nuevo Laredo in Mexico. It was our kids' first time to Mexico. Omar was excited that he can finally say he's been to another country. Diego really wanted a sombrero, and Ruben wanted to find stuff to throw down in the water. Here we are after crossing back over the Rio Grande to Texas. I was just happy to have made it past Border Patrol. The few times I've gone to Mexico, I have this irrational fear that they won't let me back. I brought my Naturalization Certificate as proof that I'm a citizen, but there's always that little fear it won't be good enough. After all, I was in 8th grade when I became a citizen and the picture on my certificate is quite different than what I look like now. No worries, though. I got through just fine.Friday, January 2, 2009

Cute hat!
Why do I always have the same fear that I won't be allowed back into the country? Oh yeah, because it says that I am from Utah. Hahaha Just kidding.
Sounds like it was a fun outing. Glad you were able to get back into the good ol' US of A! Hope you are doing well. Looks like you got a haircut, very nice.
Your boys have grown up so much. They are all very handsome!
We used to go to Tijuana regularly. I was always stressed they'd try to take my babies so I always made sure I had their birth certificates. Of course, it was completely irrational.
Sounds like you had fun.
I hope you had a great time! I've never been outside of USA before and I'd really like to visit Mexico. This is a really great photo!
What fun! I love the somberro!
