Meet Isaiah

This is my sweet nephew Isaiah. This little guy will steal your heart the very first time you meet him. He has the most beautiful smile and the sweetest spirit. I just had to write about him today because he fills my heart with such joy! Today I visited him and for the first time he played the "Gimme Five" game with me all on his own. You know, when you put the palm of your hand out and he slaps it to make a clapping sound? He's only 5-1/2 months old and he got it! So smart. Not only that, but he opened and closed his hand "bye-bye" as I was leaving - another thing I've been trying to teach him. I know, I know... his mommy (Nicole) and his daddy (Corwin) may have been playing with him those two things, but I'd like to think that I taught him. He even calls my name out when he misses me. Th-th-th.... I am his Tia Kristie afterall. (That's pronounced Thee-ya for you non-spanish speakers LOL) This baby boy can make you smile on the toughest day of your life. He is a blessing, blessing, blessing to our entire family!

Game Night

Tuesday was game night at our house and oh how the game was on! Have you played the "updated" version of the game of Life? Larry was a married salesman with four kids, owned an apartment complex, and was exempt from paying any taxes. Angel was a car salesman, went on a honeymoon and sued his sister for $10,000. Alliah didn't marry, but had three kids (oh Lord!) and opened a daycare. Laughter filled the living room as they spun the wheel and read what "life" had in store for them that day. I was in the kitchen making dinner and couldn't contain my laughter as they chatted (and argued) their way through the game. Ultimately, Larry won and Alliah came in second. Angel was last - and those stats are according to Alliah. Nights like these are memories that can never be erased or replaced. We've got lots more to make!

Soccer Season Sizzles

It's officially Soccer Season at our house and boy are we busy! The kids have pratices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Angel's is 4:00 - 5:15pm and Alliah's practice is from 5:30 - 6:30pm. We're glad both kids have practice at the same park so that makes it a little easier. To top that off, Larry started playing in a Soccer League last night. . . indoor soccer. It was a blast watching him. Alliah and Angel's first game was last Saturday and both of them were just as good as the 2nd and 3rd year players. It's hilarious to watch Alliah play because she get's so into it! Her face squishes all up and man how she runs to get that ball. I had to yell out reminding her, "No pushing, Alliah, no pushing!" She wanted that ball and she wanted it bad! Angel is more into trying to head-butt the ball and wants to learn to use his body to hit the ball. He's pretty good for a first year soccer player. Both kids have such drive to be the very best at whatever they do. They make my heart so happy!

I'm In Love

Today is one of those days that I just really love my husband. We all know that there are days that we want to kill 'em, but not today. When I opened my eyes this morning and looked over to the man sleeping next to me, my heart was filled with such thankfullness to God. I am truly blessed with a husband who loves me, he's a wonderful father, and he is so kind and generous to others. His life's motto is, "If you see a need, fill it." And that is exactly what he does. Today I won't speak one negative word to him. I won't nag him or make him feel bad. I'm just gonna love him and pray an extra blessing on his life. Tomorrow, I may not feel as in love, but in my heart I know I fall more deeply in love with him everyday.

Go Giants!

For my birthday this year, Larry and I decided to take a family trip and let Angel and Alliah experience the thrill and excitement of their first San Francisco Giants Game! We watched the Giants and Dodgers game on Friday, July 4th. Both of my kids LOVE baseball and I mean LUUUV baseball. They play it, watch it, talk about it, practice it. They'd eat it if it tasted like chocolate.....or pizza. Alliah had the time of her life (until the bottom of the fifth inning) and Angel just knew that he could've caght those 90 mile an hour fly balls that the pros somehow missed. Oh, if you could have seen their faces....what a great gift!

Angel's B-day!

Happy 9th Birthday To

Our Son Angel John!

We Love You And We

Are So Very Proud You!

My First Post

This is officially my first post! YAY! I am so excited! I hope this will be interesting and people will actually read it. Who knows...maybe I'll get a following LOL I'll be known as Kristie The Blogger. Blogs...I never imagined creating a blog. Hearing the word blog always sounded so geeky, but I'm finding it to be kinda fun. I've got to get ready for church now, but I'm off work tomorrow and I'll "blog" again then. C-ya for now...
