A day to remember....

I really liked princess Diana and I was and I'm so mad with prince Charles, how he didn't love her,didn't care for her and how sad I was when she died. She was such a good person. I admired her humanitarian work,the person that she was.
I loved watching her son wedding today, Kate was beautiful, such a fairytale. You could see the love that they have for each other and I'm sure he'll take such a good care of her.
Tonight we went to see " Disney on ice" more prince and princess, more fairytale. I loved, as the princess came in I started remember "little mermaid" was the first movie and the first time I met Greg. Cinderella,sleeping beauty,beauty and the beast and .......all this sweet movies I watched again....and again....and again with my kids. So many sweet memories.
For a couple of hours everything was beautiful, colorful, magical, no wars, no crimes, no hungry, no one killed, no one died. For a couple of hours I didn't think about anything sad, no tornadoes. For a couple of hours I didn't think about a sister from the ward that her 4 yrs old daughter had surgery yesterday to remove a brain tumor.
For two hours I had a smile on face, I was as happy as the many little girls around me all dressed up as princess. How not to be happy, my daughters were happy, Mickey and Minnie were there.
I don't want to turn on the TV tonight, I don't want to hear anything bad today. I had a great, happy and beautiful day. Maybe I don't have everything that I want, but for sure I absolutely LOVE and I'm very GRATEFUL for everything I have, I love my life. I was thought we hold the brushes and the paint it's up to us to add some color to our world.
Since I was a teenager I liked Gandhi and many of the things that he said I still remember " I like your Christ, but I don't like you Christians", this always makes me think what kind of Christian I'M, " The words have power, once comes out of your mouth you can't take it back"
I always say this, but it's true I'm soooooo far to be perfect and I know I don't do everything that I should do, but I'll try very hard to say kind words to make someone feel better, help the poor and feed the hungry as often as I can, I can't feed the world but I can feed someone :) Greg and I always talk about this, we can and we should do more.
I'm going to bed and sleep like a princess :)

Easter

We went to South Padre Island, I LOVE TEXAS but I don't like Texas beach and I didn't get in. Looking forward Florida's beach in June. The kids had fun, Greg, the girls and some friends that came with us went fishing and me, Cassia and Rose just laid in the sand.
Today laundry, laundry and more laundry. Still have to take my car to wash. I'll post some pictures later :)

Good Friday

Just called home(Brazil) e my family is all there having the traditional dinner. My family is Catholic so no meat today and my mother always make my favorite dish with code fish and they say there is missing me.
I love family tradition. My dad is going to Sao Paulo, my family city to meet my new nieces and see everybody, my parents are separated over 30 years I think. I was thinking is going over there the same time as my dad, but I don't know if I can, it will be this next weekend, it's too expensive if you buy the tickets at the last minute.

We'll see. I love,love,love my family :) Now we heading to the beach.

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill - It's Your Love

Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not - Lyrics-

Greg and I we're great friends when we first met, we played tennis,went to the movie,to dance, to eat....... Greg was kind shy and says that I was the one that kissed him. I'm glad I did. I should have said " Are you going to kiss me or not....

My friend Selma.

There are two of us Selma Resental and me. She's such a sweet friend, she's smart, funny.

Greg's so handsome...

For Greg this is paradise. I think heaven will be heaven to him only if there is a pond for him to fish and a poor deer for him to shoot. He never gets tired of it. The reason that I don't like to go fishing with him is that after 2 hrs I'm done and Greg likes to fish all day,all night and I know inside he wants to kill me. So now we drive to Port Aransas we stay in Port Royal and he goes deep sea fishing and everybody is happy.

Cody and Chad ...

Cody and Chad did some fishing too.....

Water balloon volleyball

Lots of fun!!!!!!!!!

I love horses

Me and the Kids

Cody always give me a hard time to take pictures, so this time he traded place with Chad, he smiled and Chad didn't. I had lots of fun with them. I love my boys and I love my girls. Life wouldn't be the same without them. I count these sweet blessing everyday :-) Chad has my eyes !

Me

I held the fishing pole, stood by my hubby and watched them to fish :-)

The boys and Greg

Greg's fishing girls...

Everytime Greg gets ready to go fishing his girls goes along,the boys don't like fishing as much as the girls. I feel very blessed that Greg is so close to his kids. Since Cody was born I tell Greg you have always to hug,kiss and tell your kids that you love them, the close you're to them when they're young will be the closeness you'll feel them to you when "you" get older.

Greg's friend farm

Yesterday we spent the day at Greg's friend farm, we had a great time.The place is absolutely beautiful, the kids had so much fun riding the horses,fishing. Had so much to do at the place ,that I didn't hear once "I'm bored" We played water balloon volleyball. We had hamburgers from one of his cows and it was the best hamburger that I ever had even Cody said that. I felt a little guilt as I was eating it.
There were few families from Dell so we made name tags.
I noticed there was no alcohol, not that I care.What a great family, they just make you feel so welcome. There was his wife and boys and his parents and his grandma, I thought it was so cute his grandma, she's probably 90 something helping around, asking if we need anything.You could feel the love and respect they have for each other.
We're the last one to leave, because Greg,his friend and the kids went fishing again so I went help them to clean up the kitchen and I had the opportunity to talk more with the ladies and I loved it.
Sometimes I feel sad for my kids because they don't have any grandparents close, I never had either and I wish I had.
I'm really looking forward to go to Utah in August to Greg's parents house, go camping and boating with them. The kids will have a great time.
I'm so greatful for the Lord's plan, to know that families are forever. I pray that my children will always be strong enough to live in the world without ever forgetting who they really are. Greg and I are so committed to our children, not only to make sure they have what they need, or they're safe, but also to make sure they're happy. They're our most precious thing in life :-)

Fun night w friends

I play Poker-keeno ones a month with my american friends for over 12 years and this last Friday I went to play with my brazilian friends and I felt so stupid I didn't know how to call the cards in portuguese, I knew some but most of it I forgot, they made me a chart. Queen in portuguese is "rainha" but in face card is Dama, diamont in portuguese is diamante in face cards is ouro. So I'd say "8 de rainha" the right way "8 de dama".I can't remember how we call heart in face card. At the end I had a great time.

I had a hair cut.....
