I miss my Dad!

So, I just looked at my friend, Jen's blog, and am all tears and missing my Dad. She and her family flew to Texas and suprised her Dad for his Bday. I honestly cry every time we leave him (my Dad, not Jens :) ) or he leaves us. He is so cool, and loves the kids so much. He knows that they will be shy because they don't see him often and is not offended; he has always supported my decisions; he loves Tony; he know as much, or more, about sports than Tony (WOW!); he actually now allows a dog to sit on his lap; he still is able to hug me and lift me off my feet; and the list could go on. Anyway, I just felt the need to say that I miss my Dad, and I love him!

A Proud Mama!

Listening to Ashlie sing "I don't know where I'm-a gonna go when the volcano blows!" makes me swell with pride! My 4 year old is a Jimmy Buffet fan! And she has officially learned her left and right by making her "fins" and singing, "fins to the left, fins to right..." now I hope that she gets a real understanding about those land-sharks before she gets out in the midst of the circling sharks! Maybe she will be a parrot for Halloween???? Love you all!

Happy Birthday Payton!

January 26 was the 2nd anniversary of Payton's birth. This year was much easier than last, and I'm sure with each year that passes the deep feelings of grief will fade. I still shed some tears, and reflected on the short time that I had my baby boy with me on this earth. He had such a struggle, and I am so greatful for The Father's mercy in allowing Payton to return to a peaceful and pain free Heaven. We took some balloons to the cemetary, and released them into the air with little notes attached to them. We then were blessed with just enough snow to do a few sled runs. Last year's sledding adventure ended with Tony busting a gut into the sidewalk, and this year it was Ashlie who catupulted off of the front of the sled, face first into the snow. We may need to find a new hill what does not have a sidewalk at the bottom, or wear some protective head gear. Anyway, it was a nice day, and it is special in the way that it makes our family realize just how much we love each other and have to be thankful for. Love you all!

Ballet recital!

So I am a little (well very) behind on this. Ashlie had her first little dance expose in Decmeber, and it was super cute. She did great, even if she was stepping on the little dancers toes next to her to get her to dance! What a kid! She is coming along, and really loves the dance class. I'm not sure if it is the dance lessons or the socializing that she really looks forward to! Enjoy.

NEW POST

This post will have no photos, and is short and not so sweet. Could we please add some more PORK to the "stimulus" legislation?! I know that we need to protect those cable viewers that still support the bunny ears, maybe playboy would be a cheaper option! And we should definitely spend billions on the 2010 census. Now, this is all fine and dandy, but put it to the side while we deal with stuff that matters. I realize that the Pres said this bill is do or die for the nation, but really, is the cable situation do or die??? FOCUS, that is what I tell Ashlie when she is
practicing her S's.

So, God speed our new administration! And call me this week if you need some Mary Kay. Love ya!

Just Bitchin!!!!

Pardon the title, but it is what it is! Have you ever watched the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC???? Please don't! Unless you would like to be highly irritated by some woman who is so far left that her left Thumbkin does not know that her right Thumbkin exists! She drives me nuts! From her upturned lip to her constant critiscism of everything Bush!!!! Does anyone care if the government listens to your conversations??? If we are catching terrorists who want to kill Americans--bring it on!!!! If the FBI or CIA or Bush himself would like to listen to me listen to Cathy yell at her kids, please do!!!! (No offense Cat!). If they would like to listen to Sarah worry her wits out over Rocco, please do! If they would like to listen to... I mean really! To protect America, PLEASE DO!!! Next subject...please send some terror prisoners to our over crowded prisons! Or better yet, send them back to Afganistan so they can go out and wage terror against our men and women in uniform! By the way, let's add tea and crumpets to the interrogation room to make sure no one feels uncomfy! (Rachel Maddow just called the Obama team the George Bush clean up team!) All I can say is if some crazy dude wants to bomb our country, please poke his eyes, tickle his feet, and let Jack Bauer loose on hime!

I could go on, especially since I am stil torturing myself with R.Maddow! I just can't believe that anyone more annoying than Keith Oberman is allowed on TV. Maybe they should broadcast Rachel Maddow at Gitmo to torture the terrorists to spill their beans! Enough! Love you all!

Ashlie's Birthday!

I can't believe that she is four! December 11, 2004, this chunky little smiley faced baby girl entered my life. Ashlie Brooke Guerrero, my little sweet baby, is now my sweet four year old. I know, she has some sour moments, but don't we all! It honestly seems like yesterday that I was carrying around that butt donut to cushion the hemorroids that she gave me after three exhausting hours of pushing! I have had four wonderful years of amazement, learning, and loving! I still love to hold her and just kiss, kiss, kiss her cheeks! Tonight super nanny was on with her naughty children, so Ashlie was extra good. She likes to one up all of those naughty kids. I hope she never decides to learn from them. I am so blessed and thankful to my Father in Heaven for entrusting this beautiful child to me. Happy 4th Year to you my darling!
