Silence is golden

But here's some funny pictures I came across just to make you smile!...... be happy with the way you are and.... HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Camera crazy

Today  Devin gets the bright idea to take lots of pictures...yes it's finally happened...Devin's gone camera crazy! Mike was a good sport about it all (who dosen't like picture taking) So I snapped a few shots ....then handed the camera over to Devin....ahhhhh! A six year old boy who has the energy of 10, holding the camera. But he did surprisingly well, he asked me to make some weird faces and then we took some crazy ones of us together, then he wanted me to take some of us playing crazy 8's. We had a "crazy" time and here's the pictures to prove it!

For Dad

I know I'm a day late, but I just wanted to wish my Dad a very HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thank you for your love & care. I know we haven't spent that much time together over the years, but when we do you always make our time special and I can look back on it and smile. Thank you for all that you do for us "kids". Your in my thoughts and prayers!
I love you Dad! Happy Birthday! xoxo

horses

WOW it's COLD today!

Not much happening, so I'll just post some pictures of our neighbors horses. Their so beautiful! They come right up to our fence and the kids get to pet them!

A blustery day

It was a cold blustery day. Rained for most of the day so we all stayed inside and huddled under our blankets....we decieded play games and bake cookies, heat up some hot chocolate and watch a movie! So that's what we did...and the kids had fun. It hasn't rained here in some time so it was good. I love fall time and the cool weather that it brings, the humidity is gone and there's just this beautiful crisp breeze in the air. Ahhh the simple joys of life!

Andre and Tati Kids huddled together around the table ready to play....BINGO
Teen girls playing CLUE...
Kids making cookie shapes..
Devin being my happy helper in making the batter...
More shapes...
Isn't Aime the cutest?


Devin hard at work

My little musician

Before we went on our trip we asked Devin if there was anything he would like us to bring back for him.... he said a small guitar! So while I was in Baja a friend took me to a outside market where they were selling just about anything you can think of. My eye caught this small guitar and my friend asked how much they were selling it for, they said $18 bucks! So my friend went on to bargain with this guy in Spanish and got him to come down to $8.00! Yeay!
So now Devin has his cute little guitar which he plays from time to time. I tried teaching him a few cords & strumming but it's hard to do so being that it's so small. Anyway he likes it and is enjoying it!

Joy unspeakable

I arrvied home Friday night and was greeted by my little guy with out streched arms!
Ohhhh how I missed him, I think we hugged for a good five minutes ha! I've got some of the sweetest people in my house who were there to help with Devin and keep the home running and even in our coming home, taking care of me and making sure I have everything I need, they really are the best and I love you guys! I've been feeling a little under the weather since coming back, not to worry it's just a head cold and achy body. My digestive system is working fine and I haven't had any pain. Mike was a real angel during the seminar, he made sure I had all the right food I needed to eat and that I got my rest. And not only that he also cooked for all the girls that were rooming next to us. He became the for all the ladies and some of the guys to that were in need of some good food. He will be remembered!
Ohhh and the joy and happiness I felt in seeing everyone again, and meeting many new faces & getting to know you all a bit better. I can't express how thankful I am that I was able to be with you all during that time. I love you all so much and am only sorry I didn't get to know some of you better but you're all in my thoughts and prayers.
I've got a lot to be thankful for!!!!
