God Time - Met Church Women's Retreat 2009

I had an incredible weekend this last weekend with my church at our Women's Retreat at the Marriot Solona in Westlake.  What a beautiful place to have a retreat!  It is a gorgeous hotel!  I went with some of my best friends in the whole wide world, and it was a huge eye opening/life changing experience for me!  They talked a lot about prayer and how we are to be intentional in our prayers.  One thing I learned and loved was to keep a prayer journal - almost like a faith story of your life where you write down your requests and then go back and write in the anwers to the prayers.  This then, records for you, and your future generations all the ways God has blessed your family throughout the years.  God also revealed to me that my time with my children is precious and goes by fast so I need to treat them with love - the kind He gives us - and enjoy it!  Not to mention there was also an awesome "Holy Experience" at the end - where we did a very humbling foot washing and had a time of meditation where we could just sit and talk to God!  AWESOME!

Here's me, Angie, Misty, and Stephanie in the outdoor gardens - there were lots of beautiful fountains all over the property!
Here I am with my precious small group:  Alli, Steph, me, Katie, Sarah, and Jessica - these girls were so adorable!!!!
Sarah, Steph, Angie, and Misty - on our "Prayer Walk"!
Misty bought us all matching pj's for our "girls night".  Thanks Misty!  So FUN!  Tracey, where are you??????
Oh, I also did this silly little skit at the retreat - see, I'm looking at my words on the back of my steering wheel!  Such a nerd!

Community Helpers Week - Look Who Came for a Visit!

Look who came for a visit today at preschool!  The Fort Worth Fire Department!  These guys were so nice and such good sports with the kids!  They let them climb all over the truck, wear their hats for pictures and even pretend to drive the truck!  Here's some pics of Kinsley's class!  I did not have my camera when Kaden visited but I'll post a pic of him when my sweet friend Misty emails it to me:)  

Kinsley is on the top row far right!
With one of her best friends, Adam inside the firetruck!

Late Valentine Post

Valentine's came and went too fast this year!  I had just taken my decorations out and then it was over:(  We had fun while it lasted though!

Curtis brought this precious little cake home from work - his boss's daughter made it, she's incredible!  She's the same one who made Kinsley's cupcakes for her princess party!  So good!
I love my husband!  
I love my sweet parents - we had a Valentine's brunch at their house - complete with omelets, cinnamon rolls, bacon, fruit salad, and fun Valentine treats!  
Jae, John, and baby Kai were able to join us!  
This final pic is one I was able to snap at Kaden's school party, the room mom made it great with cupcakes for the kids to decorate, and a yummy lunch!  Kinsley got to enjoy it too!  There are always so gracious to include her and it makes her feel so big!

Family Photo Shoot

I took advantage of Joe T's beautiful scenery the other day and snapped a few pics of my family!  What'dya think?





Joe T Garcia's - UMMMMMM!


Have I already told you how much I love this place?  It's just so yummy!  So...my mom and her friend Rick are taking this photography class and had a session out at the botanical gardens in Fort Worth.  Since they were in the area they asked if we wanted to meet them for lunch at Joe T's and well...you KNOW we can't turn that down!  I love it there - the food is always great and I feel like I'm on vacation every time I take a walk around outside!  

Me, Cindy and Mom by a beautiful fountain - where can I get one of these for my yard???:)
Make a wish!
Kaden, me, Kins, mom

Jae's Baby Shower at Grand Lux!


I am so excited that my little sis is having a baby - a girl - Kai Jae, due in March.  This last Saturday her friend threw her a fabulous shower at the Grand Lux cafe at the Galleria!  Everything was perfect from the flowers, the food, to the gifts!  So fun!  My sis was radiant as well and is the most stylish mommy I've ever seen I must say!  Love you Jae!

Baby gifts!  
Jae, Kai's new baby doll, and Mom
Jae and I with books - they started a home library for Kai - so cute!  Thanks for these Steph!
A girly book for what I know will be an all-out girly girl!
Me with my gorgeous sis!  She's really not that much taller than me - she had on heels, and I had on flats:)  Isn't she the most beautiful pregnant mommy you've ever seen????
