How did I miss February?

This was a stormy afternoon in January..we were actually under a Tornado warning!!

Wasn't it just January....February came and went...maybe because there is only 28 days. At any rate, we are plugging along staying super busy! The kids will be starting their Spring Break in just about a week now. Will be nice to take a little break and head over to CA for a little visit with Family and Friends. Then when we get back maybe we can hit a Spring Training game or two!! We are still experiencing some cool weather, and we have had rain, pretty much about once a week...with more to come this weekend! It is a nice change, as we need the rain so badly!!

After the Earthquake last month in Haiti...now there has been one in Chile...only bigger 8.8..with less damage as Haiti...go figure...just goes to show you the difference in the two areas of quality of building, with what the two different countries have to work with. I believe it is just a matter of time before a big one hits the States!

I am still working hard on being a Consultant for Heritage Makers. I truly believe in what they are all about and bringing those values back to our homes. I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to take pictures of their amazing families and not want to do anything with them! We need to preserve our families heritage, now and from the past...this can be done thru Storybooking!

Courtney is gearing up for her High School Musical, GREASE, which kicks off tonight. We are going tomorrow night, can't wait to see how it all turned out! She is also nursing a Stress Fracture and been in a "boot" for about 3 weeks now. Looks like she will have to wear it for another 3 weeks, as to make sure it heals completely. I guess Track will have to wait until next year!!

Siena is trying out for Softball at her school. She made the first cuts, and has 2nd tryouts today after school. We are hoping she try's her best, and is choosen to be apart of the 6th/7th Grade Softball team...keeping our fingers crossed!

AJ has been going to the BMX track with Mike and loving it...the past 2 weeks he has been bringing his friend with him, who is loving it as well! We signed AJ up for Baseball again this year, thru Litchfield Little League...we are still awaiting a call from a Coach..hopefully this week.

Mike is staying busy with work...In-N-Out Burger is definetly not slowing down one bit! He is still working on cars on the side and any other side job he is asked to do!! He is a hard worker and takes care of our family...and we love him for that!!

Until next time...everyone have a blessed day!!

Catching Up With January

Sunset in Glamis!

Happy Rainy Thursday!! The rain is falling once again...as this is third weather system this week..suppose to be the biggest rain fall that we have had in awhile! We sure need it...and so far, it has been a very long time since we have seen rain like this..so bring it on!!

The month is quickly getting away from us! We have had a busy start to the new year!! The weekend of January 8, we went camping out to Glamis...had a great time, with family and friends out there. The weather was absolutely perfect..super nice and sunny during the day, and cool at night, perfect to sit around the fire and have Smores!! The kids totally love riding their quads and just hanging out in the sand! We all made it back safe and sound...however Mike's truck started to lose some power on the way home, luckily we only had about an hour left on the drive..made it home with no problems. Turned out he had to get a new alternator..thank god we did not get stuck at the dunes!!

On January 11, Siena cut her finger while cutting a block of cheese! We thought she would need stiches, but after a trip to Urgent care, they only treated it, but using Glue...go figure!! She was in a lot of pain, and very upset about it...she had to keep it bandaged and use a splint, but as of today, it is healing quite nicely!!

The next day...January 12...will be a day no one will forget anytime soon. The 7.0 Earthquake in Haiti! So devasting..I could not stop watching as stories unfolded, day after day. I felt very touched and wished I had the ability to be there and help anyone I could, especially the children! Our church, has helped build a church in Value Haiti, which we found out later, was destroyed. My husband and our neighbor are very interested in going over there to help re-build, with the help of our church. Will keep you posted on that project. This past weekend was very emotional at our church, as it was all about WHY? and what to do next for the people of Haiti. I so very touched and really felt God's presence, I was very overwhelmed..we had a stage full of shoes, that people took off right there, and walked out barefoot..it was awesome...and I was one that walked out without shoes..what a great feeling that was!!

January 16, our sweet middle child, that cut her finger (LOL), turned 12. Can't believe she is growing up so fast! She is turning into a very lovely lady! The weekend of her birthday, she went with our church, with the Middle Schoolers, to a GO Mission trip, to Prescott, AZ. She had an amazing experience, while helping clean up a Salvation Army, feeding the homeless and giving them blankets! It was a birthday, she will not soon forget!

The rain continues to fall, and the streets are getting flooded! Let's pray that everyone stays safe out there!!

Bring on 2010

This is Ruby girl!


This Oreo AKA El Gato Gordo!


Thought I would add our animals to the blog this time, as they are family too! This is Bella!

Where did 2009 go...seems as though the years are going by faster and faster! I can still remember being in 6th grade and saying, "I am NEVER going to Graduate"..thinking it was going to be forever until I did...and now that I am a Mom, my kids are growing up waaaay too fast, and the years are just flying by!

December is such a blur! In getting ready for Christmas, helping Clients finish up their holiday gifts, Storybooks, Calendars, Cards, getting the decorations up, hosting Christmas Eve, having my parents here..and now it is all over! New Years Eve, I spent with my kids, we rented movies, and they had a camp out in the living room, and at midnight we all had Sparkling Apple Cider, then we called Mike as he had to work that night, and we all wished him a Happy New Year!!

And now back to the grind! Kids are back in school this week and I am back getting busy on my Heritage Makers business. I believe it is going to be an amazing year for me, with HM. This is one thing I can honestly say, that I love to do and love the outcome of the products and the joy on peoples face when they recieve these amazing products!

Until next time, let's all make this the best blessed year it can be! XOXO to ALL!!

Rainy Monday!

Time for another update...where has the time gone!! I have been busy getting Heritage Makers projects completed and published, for myself and clients...it is a great time to be a Heritage Maker and help my clients create the most priceless, treasured gift of all..it is an amazing feeling!!

This past month has also been a stressful time, as we are working really hard to getting our debt paid down and eventually paid off! I am trying to faithfully follow our 90 Day Tithe at our Church...I believe God is guiding me in the right direction and to follow his plan, we will some day be able to be a little more comfortable in our finances! I am truly blessed to be able to stay home with my children and be there for them in the morning and when they come home from school. My husband has an amazing job and works very hard around the house, as well as helping others whenever he can...he is always willing to help someone out...that's just who he is!!

The kids and I visited my parents for Thanksgiving, down in Tubac. We had a relaxing time, and enjoyed some very yummy food! Mike had to work, so he was not able to come with us....however, the kids and I prepared him a "mini" Thanksgiving on the following Sunday...and he was very surprised, and loved every little bit of it!!

The house is decorated for Christmas! This year we have two trees...one in the play room, that I call the "misfit" tree...with all the ornaments that the kids made, or various others. The new one in the living room, is for all my Hallmark Ornaments...which I have over 120...it looks very lovely!!! As for outside, we have not put up too many lights....Mike wrapped 3 trees out front, as well as the Hammock...and of course we have Jimmie Johnson and his pit crew on the roof!! BTW - Congrats Jimmie on your 4th Consective Championship!!!

We are in for our first winter storm of the season! Suppose to get quite a bit of rain here in the Phoenix area, and there are Blizzard warnings up north in the Flagstaff area!!! We sure need the rain down here, and for some looks like it will be a "White Christmas"!!

Until next time...Happy Holidays to all!!
