1st TBALL Game

Well, We had our first TBall game last night and I am still not sure if Jessie is interested in it at all. He plays with the dirt and practically sits down while the game is going on. He is only 5 so maybe he just needs more time to get the hang of it. It is so funny because all he was interested in last night is knowing if he gets to keep his baseball cap and new t shirt. Gotta Love That Boy !!!

Friday's Breakfast

This is what I had for breakfast today. Matt said I couldnt have that for breakfast. Why? I didnt understand????? Too much sugar??? Too many calories??? Not healthy??? He was jealous???? Whatever the case may be I am a mom, my own boss and YES, YES Matt I can have this for breakfast today and maybe tomorrow and everyday after that until strawberries are out of season or I get sick of eating Strawberry Shortcake for breakfast.

It is sooooo delicious. :)

Last, Last, Last Day of Pre-K for Jessie

Ok, This is the LAST day of PRE-K for our Jessie boy . Next year he goes to Kindergarten. I am always happy to see my kids grows and learn new things but right now I am soooo sad cuz my Jessie is a "BIG BOY" now and I have no more babies. Its good in a sense but heartbreaking in another. I have seen tons of changes in Jessie these last few months. The biggest change I've noticed is he wants to sleep in his own bed and not with me and Paul.

Here is a picture of the two wonderful teachers who have taught, loved and enjoyed Jessie boy at school for the past 2 years. These two ladies are blessings and I am thankful that they were Jessie's teachers.

THANK YOU MS. WILLIAMS AND MRS. GUTIERREZ FOR EVERYTHING !!!!!

Florida Vacation 2010

Hello Friends !!!
I just got back from visiting Paul in Florida. I went alone, no kids, which was sort of strange but WAY Fun. Paul treated me like a princess the entire time. I didnt have to cook, clean, make beds, pay bills, NOTHING just sit enjoy the weather, eat and drink !!! Pauls friend Brian and his wonderful wife Kelly were our hosts. They let us stay in one of their houses and THEY cooked for us and made us drinks and kept us company. They ARE the bests hosts ever but the GREATEST friends any one could ask for. THANK YOU BRIAN AND KELLY FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL !!!!!!

Brian is wonderful too. He took us out on his boat, not just any boat a kick ass boat. It was a wonderful vacation I wanted to stay forever but my kids were here and I had to come home. They did offer to fly me and the kids back June 13 !!!

I didnt take many pictures, I was enjoying just being free for a few days but here are a few of our fishing trip.

Art & Carla Ford Wedding

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!


I photographed my friends wedding this weekend. I have only had time to edit one photo and thought I would share it.



I took about 500 shots, I had 2 cameras with me. My external flash died half way through the wedding so I was happy when the sun came out and we were able to go outside for a few shots.

Can you feel the LOVE ????

HOPLEY CREST

Here is a picture of the "HOPLEY" coat of arms.
Christine and Matthew both have this tattooed on their bodies. Kinda Funny cuz their last name is "Arredondo" but they have grown up with Paul since they were tiny little babies so "Hopley" is how they are known to some around here.

Alesha wasnted the tattoo also but she is too tiny and doesnt have enough skin to tatto this huge thing and it can only be sized down soooo much before it looses detail. I want it to and I have plenty of space on my body for it but Im afraid. It took like 2 or 3 hours for Christine to get hers done.

FIRST YEAR OF T-BALL FOR JESSIE BOY !!!

I have 5 kids, 3 girls and 2 boys and none have ever really been into sports. Christine played soccer for a while but Im not sure if she really liked it.

Jessie started Tball practice last week and Im not sure if HE is really interested. He goofs off and plays with the dirt, puts his glove over his face and NEVER stops talking. Im glad he has a good patient coach. (Thank you bill for your patience:)
