June surprises!!! =)

Yes surprise, surprise I am engaged to Terry McKennon who proposed to me last week...he surprised me too for that matter!! I am so happy. The big day is July 7th, 2010 in Vegas. We are so excited. My brother David came for a visit this week so I could see the kids and for all of us to be together too. Life has been so busy these past few weeks. Just wanted to update those of you who are not updated with our family yet. More pics soon.

Happy Birthday Ariana

Ana is what she likes to be called, but "nana" is what her older brother Frankie used to call her when they were little..just cute. Ana is 11 yrs today and its seems impossible that she is taller than me now. Happy Birthday to my baby girl..Love all my birthday kids this month..

Happy Birthday Sabrina

Over the years my sweet daughter Sabrina has given me joy along with the grief too, but it certainly has made me stronger these past few years. Sabrina is now sweet 16 and she has grown into a beautiful young lady. Happy Birthday to you....

Sabrina & Ana's 1st Easter together-2003

Spending Easter 2003 with cousins in Safford. Ana-4yrs & Frankie-5yrs, they were all so cute in their pretty sunday dress.

Hawaiian Festival

This past weekend I took the kids to an awesome Hawaiian Festival at the Tempe Town Lake. The weather was beautiful and so were the dancers. I was amazed at how the women can shake their hips so fast to the beat of the drums and their outfits were outstanding. This has been a great way to start out our Spring Break with the culture, food, and of course each other. Just wish I could take a vacation to Hawaii someday...Awwww the wishing upon dreams( Hint?)
