Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

We miss you so much, Grandpa! There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Melia is growing into such a beautiful, smart & fiesty girl...you would just love her. She & grandma have a wonderful relationship & just wish she had the opportunity to grow up with you, but I know you are looking over us & looking after us. On this day, we want to wish you Happy Birthday, Grandpa! WE LOVE YOU!!! XOXOXOXOXX

Melia's Soccer Opening Day!

This girl blew me away with her drive & tenacity! She wasn't kidding when she said she wanted to play. I was so proud to watch my baby girl play her first game of soccer since she was 3 or 4 yrs old. My how she's matured into a little athlete. Ok, I'm bragging, but I'm allowed to, right? As you can see, her team is the Purple Power & she loves her teammates!

9/11...We will NEVER forget

I can't believe that it's been 8 years today, that thousands of people lost their lives. I remember where I was, what I was doing & who I was with during this sad event. Today, I'd like to thank all the brave men & women who give their lives everyday for our freedom. And we pray for your safe return home. God Bless America!

Happy Birthday, Kaleo!!!

We would like to wish my nephew/Melia's cousin a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY! We hope you have an awesome one, buddy!

First day of 1st grade (Big sigh!)

She wasn't nervous at all. She really didn't even want to go. She just wanted to get it over with. But then she met her teacher, Ms Schoenig, and she instantly enjoyed her first day at her new school, Country Hills. It was nice to see that she already knew some of the children through the summer day camp that I put her in. I don't want to jump the gun, but I think this will be a nice transition for my princess. Yeah, Melia!!!
