Yep a clean break!!!
Well here they are... Jynna in Karate class. I told you they where coming!! Jynna has wanted to do Karate for a long time. I wanted her to wait until school was out so she could really focus on her school work with no distractions. I also have to admit I wanted her to do something more girly than Karate. All that changed at the end of last year. I was sitting at the back gate of Jynna's school waiting for her to come down the hill and through the gate. As I sat there watching for her I noticed this little girl getting grabbed and pulled to the ground by 2 boys. I was in horror as I looked around and noticed no one was around to help. She was screaming and trying to fight them off. It was at that point that I noticed the little girls backpack and realized that it was my little Jynna. I jumped from the car but didn't get there in time. The boys had already ran off. It is such a terrible feeling to watch and not be able help your child. She was pretty cut up and bruised. Sooo here she is in Karate. I SWORE she would never be in that position again. Her teacher is Master Hoffman. He is very impressed with how well she is doing. In a matter of 6 weeks she had already earned 2 strips. It won't be long before she is moved to the yellow belt class. She really enjoys her classes and has this glow about her as soon as she steps into her Gee (her karate uniform). I really enjoy Master Hoffman's teaching. I am signing Aliya up to start next month as well.

Meet Spaz!! Shayna's little crazy ferret!!

Mya and Spaz
He loves to just lay on your arm. Lonny was cuddling him!!

Checking everything out!!

My favorite one!!

Meet Shayna's baby Spaz. She wasn't sure what to name him so we told her to give it time and see how he acts. Shayna decided he needed to be called Spaz. She loves him!! The top picture is of course of our two new babies. The great thing is they love eachother. Last night we had them on my bed and they just rolled around and played. They would bite eachothers ears and chase the other around the bed over and over it was great!!

MEET MYA

She is so tiny. The black dog is only a puppy herself. Meet Bella.

Aliya loving on her

Meet my new little girl named Mya. Shayna bought her for me on Wed. night. The story behind her is that 2 1/2 mo ago my 4 yr old Chihuahua was stolen from our yard( as many of you know). I have been heart broken and so have the girls. He was our little Knight. He would sleep under the covers right in the bend of your knee. We all love and miss him. Shayna had been working and saving her money to buy her a Ferret. She had searched and searched the internet for info and started watching craigslist and local pet stores for prices (hoping to buy one before her move back to St. David). She has been reading up on care for them for 3 mo. Well on Wed. night she came accross my little Mya. Bryanna and Shayna went straight to work on her little plan to buy her. I of course was clueless and had gone out to dinner with some friends not knowing what was in store for me. I came home to find this little baby on my pillow with a pink bow around her neck. Yes Shayna had taken all her money and got her for me. I was so excited and heart broken when I found out how she bought her. Shayna had then erased all of the info on the person she bought her from so I couldn't try to get her money back. I know what a SWEET HEART. I am so grateful to have such an awesome daughter who loves me that much. So in turn you can see by scrolling up what I did for her on Thursday morning!! Shayna I love you and am so lucky to have you as a daughter!!! You always put other peoples needs and wants above your own. THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER!!!!

OK so, I was in St David this last weekend and of course my mom had taken her camera card into have everything put on a CD. So again no pictures of Jynna's karate. But never fear she is breaking boards again this Saturday. I promise the camera will be ready to go!!! Oh yea and Wednesday night she received 2 more yellow stripes!!! She is doing fantastic.. It won't be long before she is in the yellow belt class !! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK JYNNA!!!! They are coming I promise!!

This is the birthday party of my friend Kandis's little girls Chicken we went to Benson Park. The kids had a great time. They got wet, broke the pinata, and had great food. Chicken turned 8.

Yea I have learned to sew!!!

Here are a few of my latest sewing projects!! Aliya had been begging my mom to make her a dress since Christmas time. My mom would tell her she had to wait until summer time when she had time off work (she is a 3rd grade teacher). So as soon as summer hit Aliya was calling my mom. In the mean time Aliya had her dance performance and as you remember my friends mom made her leotard. Well I wasn't feeling real great about not knowing how to sew so I called my mom and ask if she would teach me. She said yes of course. So I went to St. David and in a matter of 3 weekends I have to date made 1 pair of shorts, 3 dresses, 2 purses, 1 tank top shirt, and I am working on another dress for Jynna. These are just a few of what I have made. I must not be to bad because my teenagers want me to make each of them a dress. Shayna has even asked me to make her backpack for school this year. Thanks mom and Aliya for getting me started on this fun journey!!!

A MUD FILLED DAY #1

Every summer I take my brother and sisters kids for a week. This is my sisters Stephs kids. I get the joy of getting closer to them and they get to play in the mud and get dirty!! A pass time they don't get at home since my sister just moved into her new house. I keep telling her you just carry them straight to the tub but she wants no part of it. We had a GREAT time as you can see!! The top picture is of Patrick, getting dirty was not something he was interested in. He layed in my bed and played the gameboy!!! Hey Steph aren't they CUTE!!!

Dale's birthday party!!
