Rock Climbing

We had a lot of fun watching the kids rock climb. this is the second party we have had there and we might be going back next year. Auston turned 11 and was showered with some great gifts. before he went to bed that night he said "that was the best birthday ever", that made my heart melt. moments like those make me so proud to be a mother. i am so glad we could make is day special. one of my sons gifts was a family caravan at the wild animal park. my husband and i get to join auston on this exciting caravan. the trip takes you through africa on a truck and you get to feed the giraffes. cool! we are doing this over memorial weekend. we thank God everyday for blessing our family. God has given us so much.

On a different note... we have found a fixer upper home in ramona that we are very interested in purchasing. my father will be coming up on the weekend to help us decide if it is going to be worth the blood, sweat and tears to repair. we pray that God will help us in this big decision. i know He will be with us every step of the way.

ON Another Note... I just pray that my husband and I make some life long friendships here in ramona. Especially for my husband. He needs Christian friends to hang out with, all he does is work and stay home with us. He deserves to get out and have fun with friends on his own. I want that too, some Christian women to hold me accountable. It will happen, I just need patience.

Thanks for listening.

A Little MORE...

Me and my brothers. Anjeanette, Jimmy, Jordan, Me, Kolby and Daniel. You can catch a glimpse of Auston in the background.

Me with Mary and My Dad. Awwwwwwww!

Daniel's birthday is on thursday, so tuesday night we went to the Padre game for teacher appriciation night. We had a lot of fun, it was great to have a date night. Daniel is a wonderful man, although it was his birthday gift, he kept asking me what and where I wanted to eat, what I wanted to do before the game started and so on. I Love Him! I will make a cake for him on his birthday, we will probably just stay home with the kids and celebrate together. Auston is turning 11 on Saturday, we are indoor rock climbing. Then I have a bridal shower to attend on Sunday. CRAZY! May is so busy for us. My Mom's birthday, mother's day, two cousins, daniel shares his birthday with and aunt and cousin, auston, another cousin and then a brother. Lots of fun. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family.

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE........

I need some prayer. I have mentioned before that my husband wants to adopt Auston. The only thing stopping this is the termination of parental rights of the biological father. He has been absent for almost 10 years now. I have been in contact with Auston's aunt. I thought that she would help me, she was so excited to hear from us and wanted to meet Auston. Auston was so excited too. NOW, she won't return my phone calls, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SHE COULD DO THIS TO AUSTON, I don't know what to tell him, he is going to be so upset. It has been 3 weeks since my last conversation with her and we were supposed to get together for memorial weekend. Just please pray for me to find the right words when I talk to Auston about this. Thank You....

Wedding

My Dad waiting for his soon to be wife, with brother Paul.

Mary's son Steven, he is a professional guitar player for "Unwritten Law". He played a tune for us at the end of the ceremony. He has great talent.

We surprised my dad and his wife with some hula. My dad wasn't allowed to wear a hawaiian tie for his wedding, we love hawaiian apparel, my Auntie Renee's family is from Hawaii. We made them Lei's out of 100, $1 bills. It took us 4 hours to fold the dollars and then my Auntie Michele sewed the lei's together. My Auntie also made a bouquet of money flowers for Mary.

I joined in on the "Rainbow Song" with my Auntie's and Cousins. I am in the back row, center. My dad was so happy he cried. I couldn't look at him while I was performing because I would loose my place.

We had a great time at the wedding. Both my brothers attended the wedding. We danced and ate some great food. I am so happy for my dad and Mary. They really love each other.

May God Bless Them With there Life Together.
