Happy Birthday Soy!

Happy Birthday Soy!  Life is definitely not boring with him!  He has made it clear that he does not enjoy the beach, drama, or shopping.  So God gave him three high-maintenance princesses and a “Type-A” personality wife!  He should have a fun, interesting life!

We had a good day at church yesterday!  The girls are adjusting better but Sydney is not adjusting to the loud music.  We are thinking noise-canceling headphones may be the answer!  The church had their first “dinner on the ground” as each family brought food to share with others–Tostados, Coffee, Cookies, and Tamales.  Everyone seemed … More August 14th

We have loved working with this team!  They were very generous with Ravioli and Spaghetti-Os, and my girls loved receiving them.  Sweet Kortni even brought my girls some new outfits.  We are blessed! There are certain moments where simply telling you what happened does not do justice.  One of those moments was on Saturday morning when … More July 31st
