Thanks for your prayers

Our Jo Jo left for Afghanistan on Wednesday. I just want to say thank you to everyone that took the time to call her. She said she is a little nervous because she doesn't know what to except. I know in my heart she will be fine. With prayer I know Joanna will be back safe. Thank you again for all your prayers and support.

Reality Check

I think it hasn't quite hit me, (or I'm in denial) because I feel like I just took a few days off of work, and I'll be back at the store soon. Then my dear husband said " So hunny you're a stay at home mom again"! WAIT!......WHAT? I was suddenly brought back to reality, the store is closed and I will not be going back. My only job will be to take care of my family. Since my rude awaking things have been pretty good. I've been getting the kids ready for school with dr appts, shopping, and last minute trips. Of course I've been getting my schedule ready too. I've signed up for school, ( I'm very interested in graphic design I might take a stab at it) the gym, and a salsa class! I'm trying not to do to much since my main objective is to take care of my family. I'm sure my husband loves that there's dinner on the table every night now. I'm very excited to start my new journey & enjoy more time with family & friends. Thank you for all the memories!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my best friend's Birthday. So you know what that means...Disneyland!!! We took Audrey & Karissa of course. We had so much fun. It was sooo hot, but not crowed at all. Audrey had her 1st lollipop! It was a fun day. Happy Birthday Gracie!

Childhood Memory

When I was a little girl I remember my mother bringing home some pastries from a bakery in China town. I was probably about 7 years old. Well sometime last year I went to China town, my mission?... to find these pastries called "butterflies". Well my mission was completed, I found them, but since Chinatown is kinda far from me I haven't had them since. My hunny knows I've been craving these things, so he started looking up bakeries on the internet. Guess what he found?...."BUTTERFLIES". You won't believe where!!! Right around the corner from where I work!! So on Sunday we took a little drive down to Diamond Bakery to buy my beloved pastries

as soon as I took a bite I was 7 years old all over again!

Beach Party!

On Saturday Gracie had a beach party for her birthday. We had so much fun! Karissa & Audrey had fun playing in the water. Later that evening we had a bon fire, we toasted marshmallows & sang happy birthday to Grace. It's always great to hang out with our family!

Proud to be an American

I have always been proud to be an American. Our family loves to celebrate the 4Th, but this year its a little more special to us. As you all know our Jo-Jo joined the Navy back in November, and we are very proud of her. I just want to take this time to tell her Thank you! Not only her but all the young men and women who serve our country. Without their service we wouldn't have our freedom . I was told it takes a special person to fight for our country, & I know that's true. Joanna always says this is what she was born to do, & I believe it. Thank You for all your sacrifice, & your commitment to us, and to our great country. WE LOVE YOU!
God Bless America! P.S. I know I'm gonna cry for sure this year during the firework show, especially when they play.."Proud to be an American"
