Fun Fest Day

Family Festival at Wolf Creek Pen Park. Live country music by Rodney Atkinson.

Everything that matters.

These past weeks have been some of the hardest in my life, it seamed the whole world crumbled around me, at least my world, my little bubble of a world; my dreams, expectations, years of sacrifices, when all was said and done, it was worth nothing.

It’s an indescribable feeling to see your dreams shatter into a thousand peaces and an even worse one to realize that you’ve wasted time on something that was a mistake even if the Lord tries to recycle the situation to bring some good out of it . It’s a form of death which comes along with a grieving process while you bury your dreams and dare to hope that one day soon you’ll have the strength to dream new dreams.

Life lesson , the ones that mark your life, your thinking and behavior usually come at a pretty high personal cost, maybe that’s what it takes to make them stick . I’ve learned the hard way that trust is earned not handed to anyone, and that seeing the good in people even when there’s none is not a virtue. Real friends are few and it’s in the difficult times that you find out who they are.

We’ve had to make some of the most difficult decision in our lives, and let me tell you, having four little kids makes me desperate in praying to get it right

There’s nothing left to do but to start over, so we’re starting over, the winds of change are moving and so are we. After being in Mexico for ten years it’s hard to say goodbye, it’s felt like home for a long time now. I may not have much and I’m certainly leaving behind a lot, I may have lost some things but I have Him and everything that truly matters …..if you don't believe me , check it out for yourself:

A wonderful husband

I told you so.

Thank You!

This year, Christmas was made special by Grandpa and Grandma, which sent a cargo of gifts and needs for the kids and mommy too. I want to dedicate this post to Grandma Heidi and Grandpa Christian for making our Christmas so special. We are so thankful and deeply touched by your sweet deeds of kindness. You really made Christmas this year, for that, from the bottom of our hearts, we want to say ... THANK YOU!!.


Bennie loves puzzles, he really enjoyed making this one.


Ayleen loves her puppie and calls it gua-gua, every morning when she wakes up she asks for it ... it's usually tangled in between her blankets. Yesterday I took it down the night before, to put it in the washing machine cause it had gotten a little dirtie from all the walks she has with it. She couldn't find it so she asked me with her big interrogating eyes where was her gua-gua I tried explaining to her that it was taking a "bath" cause it was very dirty, so she went to the bathroom, opened the shower door and had the most dissapointing look in her face when the puppie wasn't there. ha !! so cute!!.


They all really like playing with the nice play dough, after an hour Ayleen still had a hard time putting it away, and I thought she wasn't gonna be interested in it. Great Gift. For now it 's become a super fun family time activity and a good barganing chip. heh!

Opening her present .And there were other things but I just haven't had the time to take pictures of everything.
We love you and pray you have the bestest New Year, 2009, full of the Lord's blessings.!!

Merry Christmas!

I'm slowly catching up on my posts.
From our hearts to yours a very happy Christmas Season. We love you!!

So fun hanging out with you. Stay beautiful, fun and loving.

Happy Birthday Grandpa.

We were blessed to have Grandpa during June 14th, his birthday, which makes this a belated birthday post.
We love you so much, we pray you have the best year yet. We weren't able to fit all the candles in the cake but the ones we did fit, all the kids helped to blow.


We will miss you both a lot, Christian and Heidi, praying for your new situation that it can be fulfilling and fruitful and all that you had hoped for.
My son expressed his feelings so well...
Alex asked me while I was tucking him in bed the other night if grandpa was coming back, I told him probably not for a while. He looked at me with sad puppy eyes and sayd...but mommy he's not gonna be able to take care of me anymore... I love him so much!!.

Felicidades Ana

(Angela and Ana in green.)

Ana is one of my little baby sisters. She’s funny, bubbly and spontaneous. She’s sweet and caring and has a heart bigger than it fits in her chest.

Te quiero un montón nena, espero que tengas un año maravilloso lleno de todas las cosas hermosas que te mereces.

Te deseo que cada día que pase sea un paso más en la dirección en la que Él te guíe, que cuando los vientos de la adversidad soplen con fuerza te aferres de la mano de Aquél que nunca soltó la tuya y que así, poco a poco vayas tejiendo con fibras incorrompibles, que aunque no sean palpables no son por ello menos visibles, una vida llena a rebosar del amor inagotable, abundante y eterno del Señor. Te quiero hermanita, un abrazote.
