Identity Theft

Guess who gets to teach a class Identity Theft??

ME

I am glad to do it, but really have NO knowledge about the subject...that's what the internet is for! I've actually got everything put together and it's ready...wish me luck...and hope I teach someone something about ID Theft!

She's Growing Up Way Too Fast!

Alayna is 3 years old!! This picture above was last year's picture when she was 2.

Alayna LOVES milk...so much that within seconds of sitting down at the dinner table, her milk will be gone unless we put her cup out of reach!

I love this picture of Alayna as a baby! She has big brown eyes, light skin, and just so cute!

Another picture of Alayna and her big brown eyes.

Alayna trying to crawl. She happens to be my skinny baby compared to my other girls. She really isn't that skinny, but my other girls are and were such chunks!

Just a few days old and so precious. Time is just flying by me so quickly and I just want to push the rewind/pause button sometimes!

Birthday pictures to come...

Disappointed

How do I word this right...

I am very disappointed in myself!

Why is it that I have to read about tragedy to TRULY understand and appreciate the BLESSINGS in my life? Sure, I have trials, and some trials have been more difficult at certain times in my life than other times. Maybe someone even had the same thoughts as I am having right now while I was the one experiencing the trial...who knows...


I have read a few blogs today that put tears in my eyes and streaks down my cheeks...my heart aches for those involved...I even had doubts if survival is even going to happen...

I hope I have not worded this post wrong and offended in any way.

I want to appreciate my blessings on a daily basis through my actions and thoughts. I know I have BLESSINGS and I am going to acknowledge them more!

Goal Update...

I am PLEASED to tell you that Alayna is potty trained!
Hooray!!
All it took was...not sure really! We just kept telling her she needed to go potty in the toilet and she did. We've only had 1 accident...because I went to my daily walk and she was running to the toilet to go potty and didn't quite make it...oh well...it's a done deal now!!

As for my other goals, well, I decided to ex the reading from the Friend every day...we read it, but not every day.
I consider myself a mom that does things with her children already, but I made more of an effort to get on the floor and just rough house around. Usually it's reading, or playing with things that I do with them...this time it's just me!

Right on Target!

Pat took Arianna shooting this afternoon...she did really well! Arianna was shooting at 25 yards away...this is her first time shooting a 22. Of course she talked nonstop about it the rest of the day...I'm glad she had fun!

A Late Valentine's Post

I bought these really cute ladybugs at JoAnne's Fabric for the girls to paint.

Alayna doesn't really have a plan as to how she is going to paint...she just paints at random!

Arianna always has her ideas...it turned out nice!

Disneyland Again...with Grandma Jaramillo!!

Living close to Disneyland is great! We take advantage as much as we can...we might not live here forever!!

Most everyone in the family!

Here's the girls! Arianna is excited...Alayna was actually looking at me (this rarely happens)...and Kayla was tired!

Kayla loved the balloons that were given to Pat (supposedly because it was his birthday. February 1st)...we took the balloons gratefully!

Grandma Jaramillo came with us! The girls love it when grandma is with us! It makes life that much sweeter! We all had a good time!
