Fly Eagles Fly

We were so excited to speak at an MOD event. PJ is now stealing the show instead of his story. I wish I had one of him doing his speech but here he is with the man who introduced him the Voice of the Eagles..a really neat and kind man..Merrill Reece.

Of course it is

January 5th-

Here is the famous Hamburger Helper dessert!! My kids love it and it makes me sick to look at.

Last celebration

Today we ended our Christmas parties with a trip to the Spin's Christmas. We go to Deffie's G-parents for a celebration. It is a comfortable and relaxing day except when Mrs.S gets the kids all crazy(they LOVE it and her). It is my favorite way to end the holiday.

Here is me and Deffie..she is 28 weeks now...almost there until James Michael arrives..

A family affair-December 3rd

Today was the day of my big fat family holiday party. We are not greek so I could not add that to the title!! This a huge day in my family and to be totally honest---I love this day. I honestly adore all of my family members. They are been an inspiration to me. My family has struggled with many different events but the one that has always captured me is my cousin Bryan. Bryan has a story that could be featured on any show. My cousins Bryan's parents were married YOUNG--so young that their parents had to sign permission and sign them into a hotel on the night of their honeymoon. They were already expecting a child. They gave birth and welcomed an amazing son into the world. They soon became pregnant again once they settled down into life. They were older but STILL YOUNG( gives a hint to how young they were the first time). Well Bryan was born to these two parents and things were good until at a young age Bryan took a tragic fall down a flight of stairs in his walker. Many lives were changed that night --I was only 14 and my life was changed. I saw his parents come together and work together to help their son survive. They now live with Bryan who is 20 years old but has no ability to communicate--walk--eat orally--toliet himself. AND..they are HAPPY and Amazing couple. They were just married 25 years in 08--Debbie finally had a bridal shower. They had a Hawaiin trip planned and a major home repair swallowed the money and they could not go but again..they are HAPPY. They are positive people who grew up together but are still like newlyweds. They were blessed with another son after Bryan who like their oldest are wonderful young men. So my picutre post is my big-Fat-Family Fhoto..but I would love you to look to the right and see Bryan. And the smile on his dad's face...just happy. His Mom is right behind him with dark hair.

Sorry if I rambled...I love these people.

Day two..not so bad for me..

January 2nd

We had a great day with just the boys because BellyElly slept over at the g-parents!! We went bowling and out to lunch. It was a great day but somewhere in the midst I must have promised them a fort to sleep in tonight. Santa had brought them one and so I did not have much work to do on it. Hope they sleep all night!!

A New Year begins

So here I go again..I am going to make this it this year and post a picture a day for the entire year. I cannot promise that I will post them daily but I have already marked it on my calendar to update every two weeks with the pictures that I have taken. So tag this blog and see what happens to the Z Rock Stars in 2009. I hope that it is uneventful....

Edit note--Here is my starting pictures ..one is of Kscmid as I will call her....as promised my first shot for this blog. The next one is from 1-1-09 and the exact two people (BellyElly and Linds) were on my blog at the start in 08.
