My Big family!!!

Family is a circle of love then you make your own circle.  I am the oldest of 6 children there where 4 girls and 2 boys.  My mom stayed home to raise and care for us.  Not only did she show us how to be ladies and men but she also put the fear of God into us.  My mom gave us all that she could I remember her going without so we could have.  She also cleaned home to give us what she could.  My step-father was in the Military and worked away from home most of my life that I could remember.  Do remember being close with my brothers and sisters we had each other to play with.  You have to think back in the 70s-80s in the South it was not hispanic friendly(I'm so glad my children do not have to experience racism in Alaska).  I know its every were but more prominent in Alabama.  But we got through it and my mom was my strong tower threw high school (it was very hard). But when you put your mind to it you can make it thought anything also having God in your life makes it easier.   

This is a picture of my mom with my brothers and sisters and there children on my moms 50th birthday.  my mom is an awesome ABUELA.  She now has 15 grand children and she can tell you about all of them and what is going on in there life at this time.  Not only was she an awesome mom but is it possible to be an awesome grand-mom too;)

This is a resent picture of my mom(53) and my grandmother(74) can you believe it. this why I get carded most of the time.LOL

Well this is how it starts from right to left my mom her new husband (I call dad now)there is me (I'm not in the photo just line up of oldest to youngest)Hector(his wife they have 3 kids)Emma(her husband she has 3 kids)Caleb(his wife he has 3 kids)Rachel(is about to marry she has 2 kids)Rebecca(her husband she has 2 kids) at this time we don't think any one is planning to have any more children.  the resign I shared this to let you know my mom is my hero, and my best-friend. My mom did all of this with less then a 7th grade education and she is now a Interior Designer in Texas doing what she loves.  And I have nothing to complain about;)   Love you Moms

What a Life!!!!

What a life to wake up Monday morning with the sun shining.  To be able to site on my deck sip on coffee and read my Bible  with the sun beating on my back love it!!!  The kids and I eat breakfast on the deck in the mornings when its nice out its great!!!

Just thought I would share a little something off to do some running around !!!

If you have time check out my girlfriends blog (Ronalyn).   Well I have reading Proverbs (in the Bible) @ church my Pastor has been talking about praying for WISDOM.  So that is what I have been studying and praying for:)  

WHAT A SATURDAY!!!!

What a crazy Saturday.  Some of you know that my wonderful hubby gives me Saturdays as my day to do what I wish.  Well this past Saturday we deiced to go to the biggest yard sale of the year @ Ocean View.  It was awesome we got there @ 9:00am with the kids and walked from home to home.  It was not the best weather but the view was pretty.

And the homes were so beautiful and big.  All I kept thinking was all the cleaning and who cleans the windows?  

There was alot of nice things for almost nothing.  Ran into Val while we were there getting her share of BABY clothes.  We are so happy for them:)

After that I meat up with one of my girlfriends (that has been MIA lately LOL) to help her with a photo shoot that was half outside and half inside birthday party.  I'm sure you will see some photos some on her blog of the cutes baby girl that just turned 1.  I thought it was an awsome give from her girlfriends to hire Ronalyn to do the photos for the party.  Well here is a photo of Ronalyn that I took I really like ti because it is so her:) sweet

We also shared one together just for fUN!!!

Here she is hard @ work she really gets into it even thought she want to quit (like never)

After the photo shoot that was from 2-4.  We were going to hang out with our other girlfriends.  we stared by picking up Erica who had to run upstairs to grab her video cam flip (to black male us later I'm sure)LOL!!!

After that we went and pick up Paula who had to wave bye to her baby girl Kylie from the window outside. ( As we all said AWWWWW from the car)LOL

We when to PETERS SHUSI SPOT (as always) but next time we are bring Logan and Jon(jkd)LOL!!!  inside joke;)

Here is Erica and Ronalyn again with there IPHONES(how rude)LOL!!

This is what happens when you leave your camera on the table and go to the bathroom.LOL

Paula shared with us some cool sunglass that she just bought we all tried them on;)

So after dinner Paula had to go home:( to see her hubby. While in the car we jammed to 107 music from the 80's (man talk about some memories).  Erica was not ready to go home yet we were going to get our make up done @ Northstroms.  We talked about going to the movies so we decided to go  BOWLING!!!

What an awesome night hanging out with a great group of girls!!!!

So I got to post before you RonalynLOL

I'm a Aunt for the 13th time:)

My sister Emma she is the third child in the family, she just had her third child (another boy).  This is her oldest daughter (Brittany) her son(Matthew) and the newest son (Nathan).  They are living in Alabama right now but we still try to stay in touch by phone.  Love ya sis;)

This is Emma holding baby Nathan (he is to cute)!!!

Can you see the family resemblance:)  

Olivia is Growing Up!!!

Olivia lost her tooth but if you ask her she will blame MOM for pulling it.LOL  Yes!  I did it working in the Dental field for 11years ( before having the kids) if you don't get that tooth out that area can get infected (not good).  I was the bad guy until she found candy under her pillow;)

So as you can see she is happy and telling Daddy all about it!!!

Its just another millstone in her little life.  After crying franticly about the blood and lots of mommy hugs she was happy to finely loose a tooth!!

LETS TALK ABOUT..........

Lets talk about some thing that makes me happy.  Its my get away.  Its my awwww! @ the end of the day!!  You know what I'm talking about it may not be coffee for you but you may have something else like......!!

This is my ESPRESSO machine that my loving husband bought me on my 36 (yes I said my age) birthday.  Lets just say I can make my own (just the way I like it not to sweet, extra hot, and lots of whip:0) White Chocolate Mocha!!

He ordered it on line @ Lowes (believe it or not) for only 200.00 w/shipping (WOW) Sure I would of liked to say I bought it @ Starbucks or Metro but I have to say it is awsome and easy (some times too easy)LOL

So if you are a coffee drinker this is making your mouth water (my girlfriends Ronalyn and T)LOL  I found this White Chocolate mix @ Freds and its the best to make a White Chocolate Mocha.  Okay I'm about to have my awwww moment:) Later!!!
