Prayer Request


As everyone is preparing for the holidays a family from my hometown is mourning the loss of their 17 year old sister, daughter and friend. I grew up with this sweet family. There are five children all around the age of my siblings and I.

It is so easy to question why a life is cut short and ask God why this happened, but we will never know. I can't even imagine what this family is going through right now especially during this time of year, but I do have hope that she is in a much better place and that I can join others who will be celebrate her short, but great life. If you remember please take time and pray for the Villarreal family because they will need the comfort of our Lord, especially in the journey ahead.

This makes you really want to squeeze your love ones a little harder, forget the bad times and be thankful for another day with them!

Saying No



She already has attitude...can't you tell?

13 months

Where has my little baby gone? I can't believe another month has past and you are now 13 months. What are you up to these days?

  • You said goodbye to bottles
  • You have decided you like drinking from a straw and have a new interest in sampling whatever we are eating or drinking
  • You like to eat hamburgers, peas and carrots, bread, cheerios, bananas, grapes
  • Words you know and say: dog, cat, nana(banana), mama, dadda, hi, bye, asia(it sure sounds like asia), duu(duck), ba(baby), cu(cup), bo(book), no
  • You still sleep pretty good at night and take two naps most days
  • You love going outside and looking outside
  • Pretty sure you are going to be left handed
  • You give us hugs and kisses and you like to get kisses from your dogs
  • When you wake up the first thing you do is stand up and look out into the hallway to see if your cat is looking out the window...you just love animals!!
  • You shake your head no when you are told no and when you don't want something
  • You are still such a sweet baby, strong willed and such a beautiful little girl!

Raising a girl....the right way

It is never to early to start teaching little girls about little boys.
First things first, get that boy in the kitchen.
Supervise and give instruction when needed.
Look it over...make sure it is edible.
Enjoy his cooking and complement his hard work.
Make sure you call daddy in for approval and to wash the dishes.
Don't forget to put away the dishes. :)

Can you see my teeth?

Squeaky Clean

Rub a dub dub
I brush my teeth in the bath tub.



Don't forget the ears!

Or my bedtime story!

Happy December


We are finally getting in the Christmas spirit at our house! We have 3 of our trees up and decorated, started decorating the mantel, unwrapped all of our little snowmen, but still so much left to do!
