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.....

Listen to your heart,listen to the spirit....

Greg was out of town the whole week, so I was up and down with the kids in all directions. No one wants to go to the grocery store at 6:00PM. No parking spot,long lines, but I felt that I should go to the grocery store and buy a plant and a card to Ms Lou. I looked the time and saw almost 6:00pm, but I felt even stronger that I should go or it would be too late. So I went, bought her a plant and bought a card, as I was choosing a card I couldn't stop the tears going down as I felt in my heart that was it, the last act of kindness and love I'd do for her,
Last night when Suzana was here in my house I told her that I dreamed all night about Ms Lou and in my dream she was happy and healthy as she used to be, she told me that was funny because a friend of ours told her the same thing yesterday.
This morning I got a message that said. " Today our mommy is an angel", it broke my heart, but I know she's in peace and painless.
Ms Lou bravely battled breast cancer for years, then bone cancer and just few month ago found out she had brain cancer. I'm glad I listened to my heart, to the spirit or I'd regret not doing what I did, because it would have been to late.

Game night

We had some friends over last night for a barbecue and game. I made my first smoked ribs and they're very good,Greg is the one that always make it, but he wouldn't be hm early enough to do it. Greg made picanha of course and everybody brought something. That was so nice and relaxing, the weather was perfect, I love Texas, even though sometimes I miss TN.
We played a game that the kids could play too, we played PIT, the kids likes that one, later they played their own game.

sooo cute....

I showed this picture to Greg and I told him I'd love to have one baby goat, he told me that's fine we could eat it on X-mas. He's so weird.
