Mia Zuniga

Well, we had the honor to see a great friend perform. She is so blessed by God. She just released her first album. We had a great time. The kiddos really enjoyed the music. It was so good we had to get a CD. Then we had to have her autograph it.

Here are some pictures of the event.

We love you Mia

A Day with the Horses.

Well, Our cowboy at heart Chris has been taking riding lessons. He has to work at the ranch, then they give him a treat of riding and learning about the horses. He is really enjoying himself. Especially that he got to ride Jackson. He is a thoroughbred. He says, with a huge smile on his face. Well, Olya got to help today too. She walked the horses and sat on one of them. They had a great day today. They kept talking about it. We are so blessed by Judy and John. Thanks...

Look who's 40......

Well, Today.... the man of my dreams. My husband and best friend turned 40. We were saying Lordy.. Lordy look who turned "40".. We had fun preparing this special day for him. We made homemade cards, homemade cake and ice cream. Plus we bought him his special Harley Davidson gift. He just loves this place. We bought him a new cap and a new coffee travel cup. Since his broke..
THE FUN BEGINS........
The car, the truck and the house. We had a fun time decorating it all.. Especially when the yellow paint blew every where. We were cracking up at 7am this chilly morning..




You are someone special...

Making of the cake... This is his favorite cake. My mother-n-law told me how to make this a few years ago. So now I have been making it evern since. This was the first time it was made from scratch and all organic.... :)






Me with my love....Happy Birthday, Babe!


Dad with all the kiddos...


I am 40... I need a nap...

Bread.... Well, Maybe..

Cinnamon rolls
We tried to make bread. It did not turn out. So we decided to see if we can make cinnmon rolls. Well, they tasted good. Just did not look so good.
So we attempted for try #2. I think we did it. The kids loved it. It looked and tasted good.
Not sure if I will do this all the time. We were so busy in the kitchen cooking all day Sunday. It was a nice treat though.

What a HONOR!!

Well, I had the honor to be honored as parent of the year. It is something that our Dr.(ortho) does. She said we have 3 lovely boys and then she respected us so much for the fact that we adopted 4 older children. I told her I do not do the things I do to be recongized. I pray that with this thought she will tell others and they will do the same.

I met the Mayor of the city. He talked about being great citizens of your city,the things you choose to do and differences we make. Then Dr. G gave me a certificate and a beautiful heirlooom plate and cup. I will cherish this. I love things like this. We will use it on special days.

America

Here we finally recieved the girls citizen papers in the mail. Olya was super excited. Nadya still does not quite understand. She will someday. We are so blessed.
