My aunt Peg went in and has a severe kidney infection and will be in the hospital several days. My aunt Virginia they fear might have had a mild stroke. We are praying for both of them and request your prayers also. Thankyou.

Hudson

The other day I had the priviledge of watching my nephew Hudson. Such a cutie!! Here are some pics.

My Joshy

Today I am missing one of my best friends, my brother. Josh and I have always shared a very special relationship. As kids we definitely fought with the best of them!! My mom can testify to that. But at the end of the day you could never say one negative thing about my brother or I would let you have it!! As a teenager my brother annoyed me, and he definitely knew what buttons to push. He tagged along when I didn't want him to and always interfered when their were friends over. What a little bratty brother.

I really do not know when the change took place or how the bridge between us became non existent but over the years as life happened we grew so close. He has been on the end of the phone many times listening and encouraging. He has given me his famous hugs when I needed them most, and been brutally honest when I did not want to hear it. Although Josh is two years younger than me I feel like he has been my big brother. His wisdom far exceeds his years. He is kind and loving and an amazing husband, brother, son and uncle. He has recently added father to his list of accomplishments and is doing an amazing job. So as I sit and reminisce about years gone by and years to come, I know that without a doubt my brother will be there along the way. I love you Josh, and am so proud of the wonderful man that you have become. Although life happens and we do not see each other as often as we used to, I want you to know how important you are to me. Love you bub.

Sis (Josh has never one time called me by my name, I'm sis) :)

A Great Big Thank You!!!

This weekend Jay and I attented a business dinner in Northridge which required us to be out of town saturday. The kids were left behind with Dappy and Granna. I for one know how much work this can be with all four of them. Now our babies are wonderful kids, but they are kids and can be alot of work! When I called to check in on the kids around ten saturday night to my suprise they were at the fair. Dappy and Granna had taken them all four to the fair on a busy saturday night and had spent about seven hours there with them. Jay and I felt so grateful that the babies were able to go and have such a great time. Thankyou Dappy and Granna for being so loving and patient with the babies and creating wonderful memories for them, we love you both so much!!! I will try and post some pics later.

Busy Buns

I am really having a hard time updating my blog lately. We have been so busy. It seems like every weekend there is something going on, and with the kids going back to school life has been so hectic. Jay is working hard at the office everyday and night and it looks like it is all coming together. I also have took on the challenge of running a relay with some close friends of mine (the things I let them talk me into) :) My leg of the relay will be 5.5 miles which is proving to be pretty difficult at this stage in the game!! I really do work hard at it when I can, it's just finding the time to be able to do it. I am really excited about it though. I also am kept bust with my dear fiend Natausha who is getting married October 4th. The wedding is so close and those last minute details sure catch up with you. I will try to do better in the future.

Such A Doll

Here are a few recent pics of my adorable little niece Chloe. She is such a doll!!! Tia loves you sissy!!!

We Went A Hunting

A week or so ago we went and took the kids dove hunting. We had a blast, I hung out with the kiddos near the truck while daddy and Frank went and shot some doves. The kids had fun shooting the BB gun and watching Jake, Franks dog fetch the birds. I later was recruited to drive the truck while Jay and Frank shot rabbits from the back of the truck. Everyone had a lot of fun and the kids were so happy to tag along with Daddy.
