 What a perfect group to have over on New Years eve.




 To kill time for the kids we had them pop a balloon every so often.  This one was to have coloring contest.  Ribbons were given out for fastest one, most pink, most original, just things like that.  This is the awards or handing our of the ribbons. 
 Miles was so happy to get a rice crispies chocolate treat.
Let the balloons fall.  We celebrated New Years on New York time.  I don't know if that is easier on kids or adults.
It's been almost a year since my last post, so sorry I don't know what happened to me, just seemed out of it or lack of interest.  I'm back and ready to share my year in pictures and a few words with you. 

Since my last post I have had another back surgery on May 8 2014.  They replaced two disc in my back with artificial disc.  It was done at Texas back Institute in Plano Tx.  I just love my doctor,  Dr. Ziglar and his whole staff.  Very caring and interested.  It was so awesome to get to the airport that morning to leave to go there and both the girls showed up packed and ready to go with us.  That was amazing.  I was a nervous wreck by the night before but a nice prayer time with them and Bruce eased all fears and worries.  My back is doing so much better pain at times, but nothing like it was.  Big thanks to the doc and his staff and bigger thanks to my Lord for watching out for me. 

We had had birthdays first day of school and a great summer.  We took the whole family on a Disney Alaskan cruise for vacation.  Oh man what can I say, it was beautiful and the kids loved every minute of it.  Most of all Amaya and Tatum and the all the princesses. 

The Lord blessed us with a new pastor and wife in May I think it was.  The Lachers are wonderful people.  They love and it's easy to love them back. 

Thanksgiving and Christmas were great times here at our home.  Everyone was here and it was just a blast.  I can't tell you enough how much God has blessed Bruce and I with family and friends.  I can't thank Him enough. 

Now as I start 2015 I bring to you the things that matter most in my life.  The precious gifts God has blessed me with and the experiences he has taken me through.  It's gonna be a wonderful year, and I pray it will with you also.
