Happy 18th

Good times!!!














June 1st. We celebrated Chris turning 18. Where has the time gone? Our boy is all grown up. I still remember when he used to walk around in his diaper and cowboys boots. I sure miss those times, but I am excited to see Chris continue to grow, he is quite a special man. Happy Birthday Son. We LOVE you... Enjoy your youth, it passed quickly..

8th grade graduation dance

This is one thing all 8th graders get to look forward to when, they graduate. Every year it amazes me how much work goes into the dance. It looks GREAT! We have fun getting it all ready and the look on their faces is priceless.









Dressed and ready to go.. Mom why do we have to take these? I don't want to! But you look so nice.






Kids are here and ready to dance the night away...

Toma turns 15

May 28th, 2009 Tamara turned 15. I still can not believe that she has already celebrated 4 birthdays with us. She is an old pro at wearing our traditional birthday hat. I do wonder how she must feel on her birthday, Or how her birth Mom may feel. I do pray that someday we can all meet. I look forward to that day. Happy Birthday sweetie. We love you.

Time to GO!

A Special Day

Friday May 15th, 2009. My step dad was remarried. It has been a little over 1 year since Mom has past. I am happy for him, that he was able to find a wonderful wife. She is a very nice gal. Talks alot. LOL.. She has 4 children 3 of which are special needs. Great kids. She is perfect for Sterling and Crystal ( Sterling's daughter she is special needs) She has Spinal Bifida.
The evening was lovely. The setting was in Lakeport, Ca on the beautiful Clear Lake. It was at a bed and breakfast. The nicest thing was that the older gentleman that my mom used to take care of was there. They call him grandpa, they introduced me to him and showed me something my Mom made for him. It was a joyous day to celebrate life and new beginnings.







Chris and Johanna

I love the first one. It is amazing the bond that Toma and Jacob are having as brother and sister.
