I always think about it but my crazy life with a toddler doesn't allow much free time anymore. Free time means it's time to get to bed early or balance the checkbook, therefore I keep putting blogging off until a later time.<br /></div><br /><div>Since the last time you've heard from our family we have celebrated the Fourth of July at Lake Arlington. That was the first and last time we will ever do something that stupid again. We had no idea we couldn't park by the lake. Instead we had to park about five miles away and stand in line for a schoolbus to take us to the lake. Me, Jorja, Moises, Little Debbie and the huge stroller and tote bag full of goodies. It was hot and miserable. An hour and a half later we got to the lake and stood in line for delicious food, it took forty-five minutes!!!! We finally got the our blanket to sit down and eat and then the show started up. We only watched for fifteen minutes and then it was time to pack up and walk up this huge hill to the busses if we wanted to get out of there at a decent hour. Of course we had to again wait in line another hour an a half. The fifteen minutes of rest/eat/firework spectacular was soooo not worth the trip.

We picked a perfect day to go. Not a lot of kids there that day but a lot of mother's with toddlers. Jorja had so much fun. It was perfect for her. She went down slide after slide. She kept dunking herself under water. Moises laughed and I paniced every time. Jorja would come up smiling and ready to go under again. I never got comfortable with her being submerged in water but she loved every second of it. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246788033186752978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiJOv-mRGyKocFPHiLRKaAgiMcFrBt_JxHKoMvRf-ulF-umpCIG6NBWrps_VCSqFz9suSaKmMvFMxpYTU7UD2cvI68X841GKgW_l9qgs_aF3KGPLWmP1GcsRE61GpMdo7RoKWHlBqtQu1_/s320/Jorja+Gray+7+094.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246788033187546338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIXcfYKGz5VG8cPXerScD8lo3Y7e-w-DV92_plJSV8EwTXrtcTkNzFCOtpWlXf1j9vXRc90K8rJlJDh8TZA-uGXhkDQC81vN0C6LsIOEGEimCiJ-lD5YyL-LQ9Me-UDNH5dw4hAwWni2zp/s320/Jorja+Gray+7+085.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246788033724973810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCL04YDbfHX3OkNTdsv2X5s5XZSo-jC-70Y-ZUtAZbsZIvnG2wO4FgrY5M6rt80OPrDJcD0vbMOgDHSu9n-BAJigJObX4V-ZyKiZJzHjATKKEiWZW0_EP_79pphlfwjPPApeoH7MYPqbT/s320/Jorja+Gray+7+090.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246788045827499586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyDW0Y-49yLweCQrl-PPMUrimdJsKGAOeNznRNfz9uFFS_MR_VJC344z1XKUTO2WKnsv-jdC0MSLmvVioJJB1oPZ6O6lvi3X87u_c8tqN3tksnUrDMsHlu7JyYRTU9s6B4ECBRtQPgHYAS/s320/Jorja+Gray+7+099.jpg" border="0" />My mom stayed with us this summer for several weeks.

This year was our year to host the reunion (families take turns yearly), this means cleaning, making drinks, cleaning, cooking and more cleaning. It's nice that our turn only comes around once every four years. Of course we had the best time. I think Moises enjoys the reunion as much as I do. Jorja was only four weeks old last year when we went so this year was much more fun filled for her. We did have a chance to take her over to the sandy beach to play. She was born a water-baby you know. The lake was right up her alley. Here are some pictures of our trip. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>These are the guys just getting started.... and Jorja with Uncle David catching some Zzzz's.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220856814330718594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZAnRb0GYRmXa6AJg2XWJ1DySfdqD5XEEgfIPzt8NrFkfAvLV2BMehyphenhyphenDmLOtxTf0NdtafN7lc_HasLSt3BdiZpUh2FoVQcv1dezVZr09cyJUib7iH7VE_1tld4viwkz3taBEykEbc2msb/s320/Jorja+6+184.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220856790639465282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="196" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh60NEk9ib6OQKnZTc8tiWo2dWwbD8IwmIMc_rP5cml7Jy1uELbhGyDGeJlRk3yFSvbp2kIw6ggho7lU61dRdFSYyREqZ2xSd9Y5YASwpCjWZ0GUKadVRxSj7PH2-u6tJvHrpEsgsKskC1p/s320/Jorja+6+161.jpg" width="295" border="0" /><br /></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220858910300307042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqyAlbHavJ3JlCxAWONnF7qQRsiw9-ZW5v9sWHkDLYh0VEXUqE3Q8d6QQLlUF_-G9FeMDrB00-EizKf51YH4IanButa6fPgFJpTUCIDL2lhXpW7y0DKFT5FrtjcKm3wKgXqYsCKtmQoTbW/s320/Jorja+6+198.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220858917371458994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwU999ttFquL34jsiPRp8L92gcuaU8j43ElvP8ieIxRkadrtAeXod5HFyBkIlu_Ty8O-RB6oozvXLXfKGKYS3IV1xL_drORw0P2DqjuLT5TT24dcIDxV7hTYFe5U7O9dZUiGs5CNil7wCe/s320/Jorja+6+181.jpg" border="0" />Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-37855622732398710962008-06-12T15:18:00.001-07:002008-06-12T16:50:13.978-07:00Visit from Grammy<div><div>Grammy came in from Childress for Jorja's Birthday Party and stayed with us a week, we tried to keep her here a little longer.

A big "Thank you" goes out to all of you who were able to attend and help make this event perfect! We rented a bounce house and a margarita machine. I didn't think Jorja would get much use out of either of those things but I thought it would keep the other children and adults occupied. It turned out Jorja loved the bounce house. She even crawled up the landing and into the house on her own. Grammy Dixon made her beautiful Tinkerbell cake. Thank you Tammy-it was gorgeous! Jorja had to have a bath after demolishing her cake.<br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211126058089100370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxUetrg27PRmbHxzf0if0N0bEZHom3QledOOLKwiDENrnGZKSxj3uviZvuKKccJuowVcd8k2Jqdh63S-kOXBcbswIClDcMVP1tPC4gnkkfMuIsUG891S1l9GQyufNxI2OzFvtZhMtddIdB/s320/Jorja+6+059.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5w8AA_7dPZfRkb1U7xxylpIAkiQvWMEWDDcoEh6llHPmxAzhJA7w6Tax5ON1M2JD22aKm98RAE6MU5dFL7kpiQDHqAGt0SsGpB2V6Qpgd8fPWCQHRUmPes76OezvlTdApufOZ4zuBlo5/s1600-h/Jorja+6+072.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211129394715991762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5w8AA_7dPZfRkb1U7xxylpIAkiQvWMEWDDcoEh6llHPmxAzhJA7w6Tax5ON1M2JD22aKm98RAE6MU5dFL7kpiQDHqAGt0SsGpB2V6Qpgd8fPWCQHRUmPes76OezvlTdApufOZ4zuBlo5/s320/Jorja+6+072.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211126064074956802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1kUPiDJL3gHCXk382joakNOZz1HuqVmPgYNv0eCEfqpDmVsaH1Pk6d6oqe3ECskDwTXeYy_DOK07zlKdh55fd2mTvY_aWQTbGrOvixxrhurNkhczzzPuoTMUyI_tIMA9JZKBc-CdICDXp/s320/Jorja+6+074.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbPNEwCq68T5RJJh7UWXmBJP_x3GB_IupKW-2X-Lyt2tGbUjFaZ8W-Kr_HAXMXcWfdk2VS-8zh9yoGtG7VanojFm8cJ5PpYAaElRN1WMWry2DV7vvNmZN5mjsXnRDx-FMD5EhpcBU8WLuG/s1600-h/Jorja+6+081.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211129408152767026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbPNEwCq68T5RJJh7UWXmBJP_x3GB_IupKW-2X-Lyt2tGbUjFaZ8W-Kr_HAXMXcWfdk2VS-8zh9yoGtG7VanojFm8cJ5PpYAaElRN1WMWry2DV7vvNmZN5mjsXnRDx-FMD5EhpcBU8WLuG/s320/Jorja+6+081.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOTL0f2X8heXd3zV5hiHDc-YmE3D7B7m65ZmpeMoPsj3Nl8tfenKLtbHjKYBczoUTec1NqxX5uHST8wCmlyNBnP18QohlkSminahaJ4gRhiD29Bl3k8mE85nasJkbwlwv0kEh-sUhgH6k/s1600-h/Jorja+6+135.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211129424938772018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOTL0f2X8heXd3zV5hiHDc-YmE3D7B7m65ZmpeMoPsj3Nl8tfenKLtbHjKYBczoUTec1NqxX5uHST8wCmlyNBnP18QohlkSminahaJ4gRhiD29Bl3k8mE85nasJkbwlwv0kEh-sUhgH6k/s320/Jorja+6+135.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211129406200092386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0S4FEJ6IhMCFnJDevX6PQ0L6B3moE_LZRLyOitvfuO8M7hDndoQeoRRSi-iR6PCWhRHd6XF1y_5xNz8s3cX3NCzullq-GLa4YU-Nsyp22Yiic2t9nwoDf-rb7c7oWT8DXrJQKgOHuZX3p/s320/Jorja+6+085.jpg" border="0" /> <div><div> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211126066212236082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2FStXCShyIOYUW-a_sP8uNSr91zxWTF9tZMD94zsDnWAV-4B6vqZt1rM4Cuk_pgRvaJdylliRXyjhMUYz7i8YZ3y3qXZeiEcCvCAppJlKpC8tL9qrMtRDdrBh-u1-257Udt1SZUOrgYeE/s320/Jorja+6+088.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211130763797327362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsFW9U2HC71bBHpJTAbgMsG44aAIvYypuD_gLbozoUxdMQrsi4LvMJlUbOgiJ8ArcOCALzy9IEa_gNd4C5IhF68NhqUHHYv8ShfqP1SkToWDxVTlNkAt7M4We59GIlDN6bYLdySxsQIqvJ/s320/Jorja+6+138.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211130762177161698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6HKa4drvQyinPVzYWmYhuuC5JdFRtVv9PnmRxcLQCs11Inv0DxQHok6g77QgEwxMuswAEtSbjN52bYe9iEYSF1fJFdnLpMsVm67nWyjW-52mbWuOBQ2wzG6G_03dn64ZRmAB3opUQYRK7/s320/Jorja+6+091.jpg" border="0" /></p></div></div><br /><p>Since Jorja's big party was a couple of weeks after her official birthday, her Granny wanted us to go out for dinner and celebrate her big day.

Dad and Tammy came over so we grilled out some fajitas. We've been spending a lot of time in the backyard this spring, Jorja loves being outside. She will play forever out there. She loves to eat potting soil and lick mud off of the spade (yuck). She also enjoys licking the concrete patio. What's up with my weird child? Tomorrow is her birthday. She'll be ONE!!!! I can't believe it. We are going to have dinner with Granny, David and Frances. Granny made cupcakes and is taking cupcakes and balloons to her daycare tomorrow for all of the kids. How sweet! We are also planning a big birthday party for Jorja on May 31st. I know it's a little late but Grammy will be out of school for the summer so she can drive down to visit for a while. Stay tuned for photos of the birthday bash! Our girl has now added "Touch Down" to her vocabulary as well as "Grandpa." She said her first phrase while mimicking me this weekend, "Lick her feet." Still no luck getting her to say Papi. Her dad is a little sad that this hasn't happened yet. I'm trying to get her to say "Go Romo, " hopefully she'll have that down by football season.<br /></p><p></p><p></p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202588211028338050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTOF3IFUYZTQOYwZkHnQI87SDgyvN2pe3YekJ244PANIadig-gKtIKWu-lEglxr9Wcvjn1Ls56YSHweiLGYDiufwGYKyWPLgQnKfHMkYZj2up5ho7S3E448ig-dAralZ_2AEz0Gzx2DptR/s320/Jorja+5+015.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202588215323305362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSyd-UQo9SGwtQgGbwiu7muEtsP1zpURsexU7CTXZNycrJ5L3qcFwyuZNYzBDrRd2BE8ho1IX5SOGUMLJHiZyKipUVriiWP1dKNlfwKTqLGeA8qHgRQ2GVwt2vUBskwZ8rLiVEHj0zTPU/s320/Jorja+5+016.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202588219618272674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo0dxmRgm9Ehb6MYmz4MkHsWijF4gr3Waic6SOzop8SWYIjSWnWcgD0DpWc0Gd2J-9_Gtjx27CjaB6EZoFZHcrrvzBRelmj21B8QHQv5VTn4HW7EUoXBXtLv2-nNRbKT2WhPv4IWJy-veq/s320/Jorja+5+023.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202588228208207282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6vqhNC9YZGOYNR1MWxhIEiE2CbuXlXg9JY8r4FgnrYGjfqmi97IMuIc829r014dBXA-WeWn7L3CdJLTkrwDgkyGmsJwgQqs8QO4p1kuhYhTpm_i7IM_YiGiztHO1z-IpduNxOp4V4OjZ/s320/Jorja+5+024.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202589164511077842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHiXfVHKymsYwmqr9dbPQ_IYuIMsk0s92gaq1ivaSpqyYWOUwoBJiuVDsi5bF6Bwcmnn7xwRCp6vGd6dYbVe59j5ZTBwqLcSa8rHY9km7_Wg1oOvFFpFo5gQDZm_q2ScsQUAjdoU8XEl59/s320/Jorja+5+026.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202588232503174594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhomrgJgcq0llzl_hX0z5A-t_0o9x0h7rBaSElE1XNrtwBgqafn-8rUk26x7Lhobsc2wHp4E6XmSZaKjLaSJVIVEfCQQO7rR3DgUahaJx-yyb-P3FKVm6klW5wgu11MzPgcKkb8xiPReNyx/s320/Jorja+5+029.jpg" border="0" />Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-40794946993216209722008-04-21T15:15:00.000-07:002008-04-21T20:20:54.364-07:00Saying goodbye to Uncle George<div>Well, my Uncle George passed away a little over a week ago. This is my grandmother,who passed away three weeks before, her first child. He was 70 years old and passed while in his recliner with a grin on his face. His daughter told me it was as if he had seen his mother and smiled. It was very hard on the family, two death's in a one month period of time. He is actualy pictured below with my husband and my father at grandma's funeral. </div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Let's play catch-up - Moises and I attended my co-worker Joe's wedding on March 15. We had a really fun time. Pictured below is me and my friend Nikki from WaMu at the wedding. I didn't get a good picture of Joe and his beautiful bride Joanna, they all came out blurry for some reason (maybe because Moises was in control of the camera, ha ha). <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YXdPRhpRtwfcMWTfTq1RbkIxUvti2DN5sZpzmjKryNvjh5f55gB9Kr5xPz5p1tLZHrSlwwV3bsJP2OuIB458P9p3LPC0w_5pecjteqX9xX1joBPcSGd5Hwspa6RhlpbF_Hx3X3gPVmuG/s1600-h/DSC01162.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191894415092558290" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YXdPRhpRtwfcMWTfTq1RbkIxUvti2DN5sZpzmjKryNvjh5f55gB9Kr5xPz5p1tLZHrSlwwV3bsJP2OuIB458P9p3LPC0w_5pecjteqX9xX1joBPcSGd5Hwspa6RhlpbF_Hx3X3gPVmuG/s320/DSC01162.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkq9ssRBwSyvRHQ7x_r6faGyTXGkB8H2kxoAp2q2NOdFV_ZyC-mfpWEg6Bo16s6VDRfqZiXVOtH5qqgxBsJKuQXjdUdxyEa83VZrTOTgk7tbHkDON4bLcdENrtO8tnDtWYo2KixsAmRPa/s1600-h/DSC01157.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191894427977460194" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkq9ssRBwSyvRHQ7x_r6faGyTXGkB8H2kxoAp2q2NOdFV_ZyC-mfpWEg6Bo16s6VDRfqZiXVOtH5qqgxBsJKuQXjdUdxyEa83VZrTOTgk7tbHkDON4bLcdENrtO8tnDtWYo2KixsAmRPa/s320/DSC01157.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>On the way to Uncle George's funeral we stopped and took Jorja's picture in the bluebonnets on the side of 635.

Saturday night we went to dinner for his birthday and handed out his gifts. Jorja and I made him a card, Jorja gave him a Spurs cap and I provided the T-shirt with the two tickets inside. He was so shocked when he found the tickets, he couldn't believe the game was the very next day. Whew, that was a hard secret to keep for the past month. Below are some pics of us at the game and of his birthday dinner.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182924229663596066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_oCm89HaCJ2HIQl-31YH5l71tkhOSzms-g726Aa5_jBJk3bHMNx7a3izO0J2OMiucRiUVmza3X4UIfk7nJMJHCCSvjXRUvHJtfyMt5vRLC71H0pTBKfA3CFmAZoCVKuwInJEUf0JLz2YS/s320/Jorja+4+028.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182924233958563378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXErlHO5Sw70IVDr62_AzhFie08pDh9szqhkjE2Mjk6MXyjyt_RxsLay5Oyg2MLxglAgzyO4T-IuzJINfv9NjvAut7J7Z8QTZ0AKWYJ7TcQJGnr2wFg4FxLtZmSzSNF-_zmKrUwjQmCe_P/s320/Jorja+4+043.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182924225368628754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8_uztLtaDcfq4YL-UzuMh5AHeEW2ryNy76k8J_KiG5CNTGUX97ReOvITMGNk5jrDRRRvWRkDgGXhlLVORidgIQ-M10sg9Y19noSV3EpzcuRZDtNY5SfeASh3-lB1OIEQuSj7PrBSLWvI/s320/Jorja+4+008.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLj0WfBncHSQ4e6UzgHdZLUwtdCmCMHtqwVGFYzsA1FIETCS8qn4sTwpJ-OVl64UNKaut2qOwtxXGln0iXFxmJLNkBTBfOdeJvhoUBNzK7PGJyNpbD6M0GQG2gqWlfw7dM1SU3MoI-dlu/s1600-h/Jorja+4+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182925823096462946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLj0WfBncHSQ4e6UzgHdZLUwtdCmCMHtqwVGFYzsA1FIETCS8qn4sTwpJ-OVl64UNKaut2qOwtxXGln0iXFxmJLNkBTBfOdeJvhoUBNzK7PGJyNpbD6M0GQG2gqWlfw7dM1SU3MoI-dlu/s320/Jorja+4+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182924242548497986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSxoM96HY3GNEyqhuJfcDKvMviR70ArZW9wR1brMWp1BB6lqT1bbTerIwevTS7OnY20zRCD_iuJlwlDNIxHCKa6PV1Ie9qKtnucOz2QTBZ1F4CGKTS3PPk6V1JPoslrTm8OUqjSqNTs9Z/s320/Jorja+4+013.jpg" border="0" />Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-6689651705943672072008-03-24T15:15:00.000-07:002008-03-28T21:24:46.668-07:00Grandma Dixon's Passing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6Qm2LE-I5t0zM4HoKsGnziMYLnxoH1fuBux4yony5-iCa3mocX58wnE1QRCczpyVqp07Obvj2wtNMi8kjt1XiZdiCtW_Vs3y-8fcCegJsuV3EXKx-1h4_eXJ8cFbZ0l-0NKd7oOWiezD/s1600-h/Jorja+4+045.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183014720329555810" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq6Qm2LE-I5t0zM4HoKsGnziMYLnxoH1fuBux4yony5-iCa3mocX58wnE1QRCczpyVqp07Obvj2wtNMi8kjt1XiZdiCtW_Vs3y-8fcCegJsuV3EXKx-1h4_eXJ8cFbZ0l-0NKd7oOWiezD/s320/Jorja+4+045.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0fMlmb_Nj0-9GRdqILK7LsInUT6c7EDTc2y9t6WUeHhItRSORQtKKwsYeJq3UoH7yWsAZCn3cL_Es7E6eLOVE-BGqAwb2_QI_bn4CFWKyLCBnU6eConHxra-RmXXA3Gul2nB11mi5aF1N/s1600-h/Jorja+4+052.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183014728919490418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0fMlmb_Nj0-9GRdqILK7LsInUT6c7EDTc2y9t6WUeHhItRSORQtKKwsYeJq3UoH7yWsAZCn3cL_Es7E6eLOVE-BGqAwb2_QI_bn4CFWKyLCBnU6eConHxra-RmXXA3Gul2nB11mi5aF1N/s320/Jorja+4+052.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div> My 92 year old Grandma Dixon passed away on Good Friday and was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">buried</span> yesterday, the day after Easter Sunday. She had fallen ill and had been at my Father's House on Hospice for the final week of her life. The family was in and out the entire week checking on her. She wasn't conscience very much but when she did awake it was nice to be around and provide her comfort. It was nice to see so much family again. This is last picture I have of her. We took this picture at our Dixon Christmas Party 2007. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAILYSkWHrrZMvtGKlfV318hWoyv49waGEjYKwc8KiMD83DLsCjYfm-3EhguTQMxFNQjmj60K-ZvV4iXj3j03uAl7UgJWjcv1_JLWu7RdgClOyXT0upOOtQwi-_WrHoxYBUVrvBgsWcGfX/s1600-h/Jorja+4+048.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183013040997343042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAILYSkWHrrZMvtGKlfV318hWoyv49waGEjYKwc8KiMD83DLsCjYfm-3EhguTQMxFNQjmj60K-ZvV4iXj3j03uAl7UgJWjcv1_JLWu7RdgClOyXT0upOOtQwi-_WrHoxYBUVrvBgsWcGfX/s320/Jorja+4+048.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivc6n2Vjm6zlkd7jJY4-RUPac4GhXMmB2qO1Ktv7bK8ZmXo5Tv-GekEe4sPaK2qrd3aMWuIVTeiTTARFkTYpD_G5wAGCZH7wfA7-lCcv-R7SC2myscnL0a7P04OGpZsBlXz_oTTxTarP40/s1600-h/Jorja+4+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183013053882244946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivc6n2Vjm6zlkd7jJY4-RUPac4GhXMmB2qO1Ktv7bK8ZmXo5Tv-GekEe4sPaK2qrd3aMWuIVTeiTTARFkTYpD_G5wAGCZH7wfA7-lCcv-R7SC2myscnL0a7P04OGpZsBlXz_oTTxTarP40/s320/Jorja+4+011.jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181819409456242130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfYkuGnwEzWeuXgUhlec9ok6n5aImTWJ-200it7_GcyqLudBJLmXhLEEo0lyTp1cCB8zp0fEQb6KsiI0s1CPbcWnvF3jlXGH0pSRLRav9Vwdo1QpCsTBonzQRobhIW14QJxrFhFv8v84qt/s320/DSC00752.JPG" border="0" /></div></div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-68592368243794545502008-03-07T15:15:00.003-08:002008-03-07T16:36:42.831-08:00First Steps!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQAcjrPeSeNpdeQWaM7dLAtD1I-T-SIzCb4UxiLk_om4-o6jVUSwWDu2tMG7EjW7Y7i8FY5zvq5ERFS0buAE2Bm-tBgtW9-HlX7XuSfvl7FYk8j8_ZWm6IfkliGdBsxxlMt8yvef4cKsFc/s1600-h/2b26cf9b-e7b6-11dc-a5b7-0015172f3d24w.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175163190179093186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQAcjrPeSeNpdeQWaM7dLAtD1I-T-SIzCb4UxiLk_om4-o6jVUSwWDu2tMG7EjW7Y7i8FY5zvq5ERFS0buAE2Bm-tBgtW9-HlX7XuSfvl7FYk8j8_ZWm6IfkliGdBsxxlMt8yvef4cKsFc/s320/2b26cf9b-e7b6-11dc-a5b7-0015172f3d24w.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRlJM74JEEYA4cdoyKbFxRzEu1TUAiZ4FZCi3cHXp1WyEIdT_dTDLF93MsXVGGGnlsqxdhX0_gmUb3i9Y6asqMY-cjsV9g3pJVIfbHRj3YMIpajuZfHwuf7iDeBP8B4IK0BPQ3a2GlCbBq/s1600-h/5cb22e04-e7b5-11dc-a5b7-0015172f3d24w.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175163190179093202" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRlJM74JEEYA4cdoyKbFxRzEu1TUAiZ4FZCi3cHXp1WyEIdT_dTDLF93MsXVGGGnlsqxdhX0_gmUb3i9Y6asqMY-cjsV9g3pJVIfbHRj3YMIpajuZfHwuf7iDeBP8B4IK0BPQ3a2GlCbBq/s320/5cb22e04-e7b5-11dc-a5b7-0015172f3d24w.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJhihQE53lVlQHgQngaikp0fJka5EuF-IsNum4kQQUeZ6-ZTKSjIx4zXtyU1rM4GrMlnJmKPjW4g29TGtOFXx9tNIao0Eog8rXF_TDO6LsCy1l9LoZN3GC-qg-lOPHq1UmRsLfXGLyDsc/s1600-h/5c316541-e7b5-11dc-a5b7-0015172f3d24w.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175163194474060514" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJhihQE53lVlQHgQngaikp0fJka5EuF-IsNum4kQQUeZ6-ZTKSjIx4zXtyU1rM4GrMlnJmKPjW4g29TGtOFXx9tNIao0Eog8rXF_TDO6LsCy1l9LoZN3GC-qg-lOPHq1UmRsLfXGLyDsc/s320/5c316541-e7b5-11dc-a5b7-0015172f3d24w.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We finally had our family pictures made this past weekend. Jorja was sleepy so in the middle of the session she began to cry. I told the photographer to keep on shooting. I love this sepia pic of her crying. Isn't she too sweet. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Jorja took her first steps at daycare on Tuesday. We were of course very excited to get the news. When we got her home she walked again for us-so I went to grab the camera to video this event and she suddenly stopped. We tried for a while to get this moment on tape and it just wasn't going to happen. We are not giving up though. I'll post the video once we get it. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Our baby girl now knows how to say and wave bye bye, blow kisses(mmmm included) and give you a kiss when asked for one. She also knows how to point out on her Pinky Bear where it's nariz (nose) and ojos (eyes) are when asked. This little girl takes up so much of our time it's almost impossible to even do the laundry. We need a maid!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>She had her 9 month well visit today. They say her head, weight and height are all in a very high percentage. She's a little over 20 pounds and 29 inches tall. Her head and weight look perfect to me so I'm not too worried. </div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-75597560132999466832008-02-23T21:33:00.000-08:002008-02-23T19:56:51.576-08:00Be My Valentine<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmcDCq5EFdb5nSZ836H9T5Whosa1YnOLH7LY4oITHW3gf2XtOJJgXUWCDl10dYDdR1hHneJ5RT56UihjBznhuZnYYV1iKAbV0eq9VRf-KiMX7___kjet7ohlvcx4k0aj3PTdbfZyvos5PT/s1600-h/Jorja+4+086.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170390507248252994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmcDCq5EFdb5nSZ836H9T5Whosa1YnOLH7LY4oITHW3gf2XtOJJgXUWCDl10dYDdR1hHneJ5RT56UihjBznhuZnYYV1iKAbV0eq9VRf-KiMX7___kjet7ohlvcx4k0aj3PTdbfZyvos5PT/s320/Jorja+4+086.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Jorja's first Valentine's Day was sweet. She was dressed in her pink and red heart outfit and off to daycare she went. That night we had a candlelight dinner at home. We were hoping for a romantic evening but someone wouldn't go to sleep. We decided to put JG in her chair and pull her up to the table and share our candlelight dinner with her. We had some really nice blues music playing and danced the evening away with her. It was a very nice Valentine's Day for Moises and I both. Love was definitely in the air. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizmWqYHcT9AdtpNnJn7eaMfXj8OBFOhesp8aatoggml-bpOA-q653I1RTC6ZJB1SLT_Ld9AhOzAw9VS4lDSSGGXs84ztrWv_YcKGrQK5xYI2ttto2lDxtlsFRx6Wp3_sEX87uCuRrKROZu/s1600-h/Jorja+4+082.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170390498658318386" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizmWqYHcT9AdtpNnJn7eaMfXj8OBFOhesp8aatoggml-bpOA-q653I1RTC6ZJB1SLT_Ld9AhOzAw9VS4lDSSGGXs84ztrWv_YcKGrQK5xYI2ttto2lDxtlsFRx6Wp3_sEX87uCuRrKROZu/s320/Jorja+4+082.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-9489609842297109672008-02-18T21:33:00.000-08:002008-02-23T10:21:52.975-08:00There's No Place Like Home<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpd2KemCYI9Mkc8EipSitRCP6UzUnPXsm7Y01kV-AOVhsWnDPFZ2a1wZo6ATWxylq7zorwyk5VnbVBgrFrzekiNIhIM88utWIK-8HxlbvuVWsDiL5u9nZr9NFJfTyomgd_lXZIPaPGcffL/s1600-h/Jorja+4+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168546003478214642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpd2KemCYI9Mkc8EipSitRCP6UzUnPXsm7Y01kV-AOVhsWnDPFZ2a1wZo6ATWxylq7zorwyk5VnbVBgrFrzekiNIhIM88utWIK-8HxlbvuVWsDiL5u9nZr9NFJfTyomgd_lXZIPaPGcffL/s320/Jorja+4+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyd4MweSq2rI5ekhFoKEOrIcoqGT5A9SNnJxQmlaGvj3N20ICQXs4H8i95lt2Ab257btC-DZm-S-9lGEL1YDjeXspsNnh_iqxmVL1NmJ4gzVZqKDUPqkQhBXx1DbBu6ojW2Jj4U7jcT3PE/s1600-h/Jorja+4+055.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168546012068149250" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyd4MweSq2rI5ekhFoKEOrIcoqGT5A9SNnJxQmlaGvj3N20ICQXs4H8i95lt2Ab257btC-DZm-S-9lGEL1YDjeXspsNnh_iqxmVL1NmJ4gzVZqKDUPqkQhBXx1DbBu6ojW2Jj4U7jcT3PE/s320/Jorja+4+055.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>We three traveled home to Childress last weekend. We went to spend some time with my mom since we don't make it up there much. It was an easy trip to take in Big Blue. Jorja did great on the road, she slept most of the way. We visited with some family friends, The Dills, and their children and their children's children. We think Jorja really likes little Owen. It was cute to see them play together. We did make it to church with Grammie on Sunday and Jorja met everyone for the first time. Isn't she cute in the pink dress Stacey and Omar gave her.<br /><br />Jorja also learned how to blow kisses last week. I was folding laundry and she was playing in the floor. She looks up at me and blows me a kiss - isn't that the sweetest thing!

I'm not sure if LJS is something our daughter should be eating or not but she LOVES it! She ate fish and she even had the malt vinegar on it-which she really liked. That's my girl! She also liked the stuffed crab. It never occured to me that these foods could be bad for her until after the meal. I have been making her baby food by boiling/steaming the veggies and then blending them-it's such a HUGE savings to prepare it at home. We will lay off of the LJS for awhile or until I find out it's okay for her to eat fish yet.

She was talking and having a conversation with herself and then it got quiet so I turned around and found my beautiful baby girl in the cat food. I yell "No" as I run over to her sticking my finger in her mouth to get all of the dry food out when all of a sudden I smell something...it wasn't just the dry food she had gotten into. Her hand were covered in sliced beef wet cat food. OMG she smelled so bad, she had eaten both the wet and dry food. I didn't know what else to do so I gave her some applejuice and let her wash it down.<br /><br />Here are some pictures of her and her Grandma Toni who is 71 (doesn't she look great) and a picture her Uncle Daniel took of them on his cell phone. </div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-25225251256077623782008-01-05T21:33:00.003-08:002008-01-23T20:38:52.647-08:00First HaircutI was trying to hold out until Jorja was one year old for her first haircut....but we couldn't wait until then. Moises got out the scissors on Sunday and cut her three inch mullet completely off and also trimmed her bangs. I have to admit, she's so adorable with her new haircut but it broke my heart. Moises and I shared a bottle of champagne before the haircutting ceremony so that helped calm me down.Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-14074920162788195642008-01-05T21:33:00.002-08:002008-01-15T20:57:14.792-08:00Good Things To Come in 2008<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg455F1jE2yoAlgghe-uNtsEnK5PbpTSkNt9B2SFJfJvZ7_bAyTxZ4ahti4-sYR67QFKE2vqBhWzx-b3jFklmTdTrmbSdhl4HwKCmzkX8U3NsnWYEK5DZtqAe6TvQlRobKTBD9fS0hahuCt/s1600-h/DSC00581.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155925726502376994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg455F1jE2yoAlgghe-uNtsEnK5PbpTSkNt9B2SFJfJvZ7_bAyTxZ4ahti4-sYR67QFKE2vqBhWzx-b3jFklmTdTrmbSdhl4HwKCmzkX8U3NsnWYEK5DZtqAe6TvQlRobKTBD9fS0hahuCt/s320/DSC00581.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I must start off by saying Thank You to my husband for getting us a mini-van!! We traded in our family car-the Impala, for a 2008 Town and Country. I love it! There's so much room. Jorja likes sitting up high so she can see out the window. I've been wanting a mini-van for years for some reason and now I have one. I'm so glad that my husband doesn't mind being seen in a mini-van. We have decided not to call it a mini-van, we now call it Big Blue. I realize that a mini-van isn't cool but I can't help but love it, it's perfect for us!<br /><br />Our little girl has her first tooth at seven months old. She's crawling all over the place and standing while holding onto furniture. She's growing way too fast. Our lives have changed completely since we had her. I love being a mom and Moises loves being a dad to Jorja. I have finally been blessed with patience. I didn't think that would ever happen.<br /><br />We have decided it's time to get debt free! We've been working on this for a couple of years now. We stopped using any credit cards in 2005 and we've been paying off our debt little by little. We believe we can change our lives and our future by doing this. I recommend the book Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey to assist you in becoming debt free. "If you will live like no one else, later you will live like no one else" Dave Ramsey </div><div><br />My good friend Stacey and her husband Omar, up and moved to Georgia this summer. Their move has turned my life upside down. I miss them so much! I have included a picture of Stacey, her niece Hannah and JG. We were use to seeing each other every day for a while. We will have to take a road trip in Big Blue to visit this spring. I miss you guys! </div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-663078344687680342008-01-05T21:33:00.001-08:002008-01-05T22:05:20.978-08:00Birthday Number 35<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYP6wZb0EWkUTWQNY4ah9i9JqJXPMDpVjs4XEdqo3W69mMk3mYdtr5FCP8iidedflByQW6mrfbrlYRpEPInRXa-rUqaxPBJ0kHe-sNsbeQnY46MO30HivoNnYSz_s0r8XvgjrdjaC3JNzm/s1600-h/DSC00975.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152240520008357362" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYP6wZb0EWkUTWQNY4ah9i9JqJXPMDpVjs4XEdqo3W69mMk3mYdtr5FCP8iidedflByQW6mrfbrlYRpEPInRXa-rUqaxPBJ0kHe-sNsbeQnY46MO30HivoNnYSz_s0r8XvgjrdjaC3JNzm/s320/DSC00975.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8k6kZABQPQiuami0Wxr4zkzOzRbU-kt-2aSCfd6ARvEg17EOKrIUIJtNvE5Z12TuDlxmQ7johWDPqvcXqVFkw7VcKC_gj7pBwOtJnyzMIqni8bULpY6LzxPWGsA2WhPby7_FQef_zny42/s1600-h/DSC00978.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152240520008357378" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8k6kZABQPQiuami0Wxr4zkzOzRbU-kt-2aSCfd6ARvEg17EOKrIUIJtNvE5Z12TuDlxmQ7johWDPqvcXqVFkw7VcKC_gj7pBwOtJnyzMIqni8bULpY6LzxPWGsA2WhPby7_FQef_zny42/s320/DSC00978.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZ8kvjP6cZs4vBm5f8hhU0sGEj1DfBfW5JpWnmLog21aPK2I4N-HmEnvrsQBCBoSGKf51RLKeBo6JL0pr32YiRgI3WLC3rIHrJrviQahivbnsuo-16hiOphD9fd2Q7MqHQ41KwdKzrTzV/s1600-h/DSC00979.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152240524303324690" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSZ8kvjP6cZs4vBm5f8hhU0sGEj1DfBfW5JpWnmLog21aPK2I4N-HmEnvrsQBCBoSGKf51RLKeBo6JL0pr32YiRgI3WLC3rIHrJrviQahivbnsuo-16hiOphD9fd2Q7MqHQ41KwdKzrTzV/s320/DSC00979.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We didn't do much for my birthday this year. I was really sick the day before and still feeling bad on my birthday. My dad and his family dropped by. Mom was still here visiting for the holiday. It was nice to have both of my parents here for my birthday. Tammy baked me a birthday cake stuffed with strawberries which was unexpected. I wasn't planning on a cake this year. My daughter drew on a birthday card for me, it was so precious and she gave me a hazelnut candle which is my favorite! </div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-484715657250586322008-01-05T21:33:00.000-08:002008-01-05T21:55:30.919-08:00Tis The Season<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMCDNmWaPdDVWe5ycscu_NWECQHutSASC_7iVd8bFm85uxPItYCoXSUOE8EigQKavXLUGFQuO6wN9ICX1a8X8NmCi2EmGFlxZlhX6c05bIXBFvNS0c9MDipJ52ZLwhwKnuCZ2U8yUdRLM7/s1600-h/DSC00853.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152236534278706626" style="DISPLAY: block;

It's impossible. </div><div></div><br /><div>I have some pictures of our Christmas to share with everyone. We had a Christmas party at dad's in Crandall in mid-December. We were lucky enough to take a picture of four generations, Grandma Dixon, dad, me and Jorja. Then we celebrated Christmas Eve with Granny Karen, Uncle David, Aunt Frances and Grammy. Jorja enjoyed opening her gifts. She loved the wrapping paper, ribbons, bows and cards. Moises and I enjoyed every second.</div><div> </div><div>Jorja and I waited in line to see Santa at the mall for 2 HOURS!!! It was crazy. She did great though. She didn't cry or get fussy. Once she made it to Santa's lap she looked up at him and smiled. Next year I think it will be dad's turn to wait in line. </div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-28068807828382601132007-12-06T14:56:00.001-08:002007-12-19T19:38:59.227-08:00Day of Terror<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJlwCdEcFllPHv31ValccJB7HgEPaYYqVIPUILgTlfOCpZ7wGyiq_jTU4JYltOmGvHoDf1MTKskOJjAa0ofoLRI6SDKI4Y5yoUbjW5pBbOGC2BnOvEi4BCwjNpjunW7J_DsrK4XRR4dRc/s1600-h/DSC00806.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145894151777736002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJlwCdEcFllPHv31ValccJB7HgEPaYYqVIPUILgTlfOCpZ7wGyiq_jTU4JYltOmGvHoDf1MTKskOJjAa0ofoLRI6SDKI4Y5yoUbjW5pBbOGC2BnOvEi4BCwjNpjunW7J_DsrK4XRR4dRc/s320/DSC00806.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Today was probably one of the worst Miss <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jorja</span> Gray has had. It all started in the a.m. when <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jorja</span> was on our bed and I turned around for only a second and the next thing I knew she was on the floor crying. I felt terrible. It didn't take much to calm her down. A few hours later we had her 6 month well visit at the doctor's office where she received three shots in her legs. Again the tears and more crying. As if that wasn't enough....I thought I should get her ears pierced and all of the pain over with in one day. We went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wal</span>-Mart and I picked out this pair of light green earrings and was so excited to see what she was going to look like with them in. We sat down and Savannah, the girl who performed the piercing marked <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Jorja's</span> ears. She put the gun up to one of her ears and CLICK! One ear down...but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Jorja</span> was crying and huge tears were running down her face, I felt like a bad mother. There was a small crowd standing around the counter watching and making <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">pouty</span> faces and we still had one ear to go. I put the pacifier in her mouth which helped a little and Savannah went CLICK again! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Jorja</span> went nuts this time. I couldn't comfort her enough. It was the saddest thing. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Jorja</span> reached her arms up to me to pick her up-like I could help her pain, when in fact, I caused it. What a horrible experience.</div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-40079844775843324142007-12-06T14:56:00.000-08:002007-12-06T15:15:19.368-08:00Decorating Casa de Martinez for Navidad<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4heMIJpEEpIoRp3_VsHI2BStUrYznaqWXzCUiAYjE3hK0lMKWGXMiTWF8TbbM9_5iTKQX5FHHqYOQtyCmuC1_UuN7vopfk_6VpmShpTDlm0M5t8oElMOhV2lBdn8h97RDqpVruXyuEubS/s1600-h/Jorja2+022.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141002389149115330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4heMIJpEEpIoRp3_VsHI2BStUrYznaqWXzCUiAYjE3hK0lMKWGXMiTWF8TbbM9_5iTKQX5FHHqYOQtyCmuC1_UuN7vopfk_6VpmShpTDlm0M5t8oElMOhV2lBdn8h97RDqpVruXyuEubS/s320/Jorja2+022.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxqhozwKldpV5NQULyK2-43efd3u9zNN6CP_jU5Tlf6MBhoLzOkzgEkK-uWXeu2W35g0dTXTPyUI-qKQhqOOAXcCNeNfWCZ4MZ3fe-saeD7Jiam2Or18pU_H2yYS2ag1_ZJUF-kLwnVpP/s1600-h/Jorja2+018.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141002393444082642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxqhozwKldpV5NQULyK2-43efd3u9zNN6CP_jU5Tlf6MBhoLzOkzgEkK-uWXeu2W35g0dTXTPyUI-qKQhqOOAXcCNeNfWCZ4MZ3fe-saeD7Jiam2Or18pU_H2yYS2ag1_ZJUF-kLwnVpP/s320/Jorja2+018.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjexYztOKQxKwfWAV49OORW6u5aQBwGxFXMWvcbMoRNEFn61XxcTTS_pr65xBTTGKiKAAWh3VOxSgBBuQO3_bnixDoWIXoc2TKqtFNeuWzzYeyozbu2DE3VKSNFvyOddCy5FBNUjxcdvw1J/s1600-h/Jorja2+015.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141002393444082658" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjexYztOKQxKwfWAV49OORW6u5aQBwGxFXMWvcbMoRNEFn61XxcTTS_pr65xBTTGKiKAAWh3VOxSgBBuQO3_bnixDoWIXoc2TKqtFNeuWzzYeyozbu2DE3VKSNFvyOddCy5FBNUjxcdvw1J/s320/Jorja2+015.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Since this is Jorja's first Christmas Moises and I thought we should decorate the outside of the house this year. Well, I thought we should decorate and Moises just went along with the idea. We headed out to Garden Ridge with my mom the eve after Thanksgiving and bought boxes of red lights and a red and white metal Christmas Tree for the front yard. Moises and I haven't ever decorated the outside of the house before so this was a first for us all. It was a lot easier to put the lights up than I thought it would be. Moises had them up in no time. I love going outside everynight as a family to view the pretty lights. Here are a couple of shots we took of Jorja and ourselves. </div><br /><div></div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-16326726902238898452007-11-27T10:51:00.000-08:002007-11-28T12:44:11.826-08:00Turkey, Turkey, Turkey<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBGE_BBUcKdOA4aI3uHHPqGv7PSJNS8oVIcJq0E0CJWvFRXpsJgPrMht13B5o3ofP_oUaPeprqA2KAn9pSKaZf46nrgyQjVG7cHqM4I-q3JzIUgNqUiw9sk9eGEpq8XkWeldgR_QJ02tqb/s1600-h/DSC00643.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137741237099511506" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBGE_BBUcKdOA4aI3uHHPqGv7PSJNS8oVIcJq0E0CJWvFRXpsJgPrMht13B5o3ofP_oUaPeprqA2KAn9pSKaZf46nrgyQjVG7cHqM4I-q3JzIUgNqUiw9sk9eGEpq8XkWeldgR_QJ02tqb/s320/DSC00643.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSf116diOWPT9r7pkx5grgfwlv_msTqqpUjkPFgFTbIG1jxV00_vYinL6ebPniqGlorky9EIxni1dEfE1guMWaOOU_PoFiK9NdcTDWzTSoDAc42e8TfkmBZWQ_sz571VOKda50meS2hir/s1600-h/DSC00635.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137741245689446114" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZSf116diOWPT9r7pkx5grgfwlv_msTqqpUjkPFgFTbIG1jxV00_vYinL6ebPniqGlorky9EIxni1dEfE1guMWaOOU_PoFiK9NdcTDWzTSoDAc42e8TfkmBZWQ_sz571VOKda50meS2hir/s320/DSC00635.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4zuM7u00qHR-2JTq4n7QERbj7tHlqGP3Vc_UJ7FlYCiH2bQiuLjsvMzRFH0k0YBp4oF3Vo4tFLt2Ga7VL5aS1yS_7DfnX-MqntSM3Hyo0Wh8hztviEOCBUezxCCkLvSwNrJGdhWiwcCT/s1600-h/DSC00662.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137741254279380722" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4zuM7u00qHR-2JTq4n7QERbj7tHlqGP3Vc_UJ7FlYCiH2bQiuLjsvMzRFH0k0YBp4oF3Vo4tFLt2Ga7VL5aS1yS_7DfnX-MqntSM3Hyo0Wh8hztviEOCBUezxCCkLvSwNrJGdhWiwcCT/s320/DSC00662.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Thanksgiving was at our house this year. Mine and Moises' mom's were here for the event. Granny Karen, Uncle David and Aunt Frances were planning on attending but Karen and David came down with that terrible virus we've all been getting. Dad and Tammy came by and brought Daniel's truck for us to borrow. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jorja</span> was feeling much better, still not herself but getting there. We had so much food and it was delicious! I hate that Karen, David and Frances missed out on the good food and visiting. I have some pictures of our Thanksgiving Day event for your viewing pleasure.<br /><br />In honor of Thanksgiving I thought I would share with you things that I am thankful for...I'm thankful that my baby girl was born healthy. I'm thankful that I have family who loves her and Moises so much. I'm so thankful that my job is only six miles from my house. I'm thankful that I still have both of my parents-and then some, still living. I have a very special husband who loves me and helps me out so much of the time. Not too many people can put up with me ya know. Life wouldn't be perfect without him. For him I am thankful.</div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-14658835638434108932007-11-18T19:56:00.001-08:002007-11-28T18:40:19.023-08:00Illness Strikes Again<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHw9JX_WhJgOs2hULCbDLt1bfFDIop0zkgBCl23rK3Xll2Tsn4SGPDJaZdjvqf69hS6QGr-oGDB-XjY5CMRVqa8JKfUFHp7Z_XnnDYOOn9ZV6BiyHsiTIPJMLWr4fpX11MbUXRlem5vavz/s1600-h/DSC00631.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138085006281883394" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHw9JX_WhJgOs2hULCbDLt1bfFDIop0zkgBCl23rK3Xll2Tsn4SGPDJaZdjvqf69hS6QGr-oGDB-XjY5CMRVqa8JKfUFHp7Z_XnnDYOOn9ZV6BiyHsiTIPJMLWr4fpX11MbUXRlem5vavz/s320/DSC00631.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>When I picked Jorja up from the sitters on Tuesday before Thanksgiving she was burning up. Once I got home and took her temp she was at 103.8. I gave her Tylenol and a cool bath which brought her temp down to 101. She was a happy baby at 101. Before too much longer her temp kept going up and up, then down again. The next day her Grammy kept her and said her temp rose to 104.1. We called her doctor's office which was closing at noon (the time I called) due to the upcoming holiday. The nurse told us to take Jorja to Cook Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth immediately. Upon arriving there JG's temp rose again to 104.2. We were seen pretty quickly. They were concerned because she didn't have diarrhea or vomiting so they knew it wasn't a virus. They did lung xrays, inserted a catheter and withdrew blood. Our poor baby was screaming and crying as loud as she possibly could. Talk about breaking my heart....I know what parents mean now when they say they wish they could take the pain for their child instead. After about fifteen minutes of torture the crying subsided and our sweet child had calmed down. The doctor came in and told us she had a Urinary Tract Infection which had multiplied and gotten into her blood. She got a needle poke of antibiotics, a prescription for more antibiotics and off we went. It was a five hour experience but well worth it. We got her fever down and she felt much better after a couple of hours. I was exhausted after I got home but Thanksgiving must go on...</div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-5101076723983523672007-11-18T19:56:00.000-08:002007-11-18T20:26:14.608-08:00Hold Me!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWa_o04dihZfj0uOu7tYSrcGmto1pyH_cnE6sns3JdU3haqe9eqZa1G7KY14wTJky8RxDOykOB6898Zmn1C54A-6JeUiakRhyBGQ7q9TLAJx4W9MO-G42cy4LfcEer6iO2x3Zl1dFifDq7/s1600-h/Like+Mother+Like+Daughter.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134402969643436498" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWa_o04dihZfj0uOu7tYSrcGmto1pyH_cnE6sns3JdU3haqe9eqZa1G7KY14wTJky8RxDOykOB6898Zmn1C54A-6JeUiakRhyBGQ7q9TLAJx4W9MO-G42cy4LfcEer6iO2x3Zl1dFifDq7/s320/Like+Mother+Like+Daughter.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimk7qj-4bS6ujXwvlKCK4-lybiFzSjKZdr3kDSckvCUiks1o5mjxwXOxahpiERV2AROFKoMn6y0QKHPdC3s9dEfHF9V4-MmcxSgl8MDK-ISz-70ZoyIofmR7Fgk-Vgcxl0j9I4LfFOQBu_/s1600-h/Jorja1+183.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134399404820580786" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimk7qj-4bS6ujXwvlKCK4-lybiFzSjKZdr3kDSckvCUiks1o5mjxwXOxahpiERV2AROFKoMn6y0QKHPdC3s9dEfHF9V4-MmcxSgl8MDK-ISz-70ZoyIofmR7Fgk-Vgcxl0j9I4LfFOQBu_/s320/Jorja1+183.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>A couple of days ago my sweet baby girl stretched out her little arms for me to pick her up. I couldn't believe my eyes. She's growing too fast. She shouldn't be old enough to do that yet. Moises and I spent the weekend passing her back and forth, picking her up and down. Poor baby must have been dizzy. Isn't it amazing how something like your child holding her arms out for you melts your heart. Moises took these pictures of me and JG sleeping. He loves to catch us sleeping the same way. Like mother, like daughter right? I promise Jorja sleeps in her own bed everynight. I'm not sure how she makes it into the big bed with mommy. </div></div>Shadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12891173680652314207noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219772716315781471.post-89269021930330734332007-11-13T19:49:00.000-08:002007-11-13T17:49:50.253-08:00Friday Night Lights<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7xzlp4Rh6bGVT3KNKkWF3KPFCFPtB9r3h_a1VddnFEIyVzJqIYQGx9VMnVwOQxQszrxp3cYwgNX2YJKAEZcDCiuwP-iE1agK0TZBfdG5ycyCkhtFOoF424r7yehzSPbw9_Q6HBa0FUYE0/s1600-h/DSC00612.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132503791457073554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7xzlp4Rh6bGVT3KNKkWF3KPFCFPtB9r3h_a1VddnFEIyVzJqIYQGx9VMnVwOQxQszrxp3cYwgNX2YJKAEZcDCiuwP-iE1agK0TZBfdG5ycyCkhtFOoF424r7yehzSPbw9_Q6HBa0FUYE0/s320/DSC00612.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We attended the Crandall vs. Kaufman High School football game last Friday night. My step-brother Daniel is in the band and my step-sister Carly is on the flag corp. (not sure of the official name). This was Jorja's first Friday night game. She enjoys being outside and loves the sounds and the people. She was wide awake the entire game.
