Yes, Bryanna Turned 12 on March 16. I can't believe my oldest baby is 12!!!!! I don't think I could ask for a better oldest child. Bryanna is so helpful and obedient. She sets a great example for all of us.

Bryanna loves music, loves to read, to take fun pictures of herself (like the one that is posted), she likes to cook and eat icecream when she babysits. I love watching her do ballet. I also love watching her confidence and her knowing who she is. That is a gift. She is very kind and thoughtful of others. I love the notes that I find in the house that she has written to her sisters. She loves making things a "special" event, even if it is just watching a movie.She is also a wonderful friend to others(kind, helpful, fun, and positive). I enjoy Bryanna and all that she brings into our family. She is my JOY!!!!!!

Here is my Savy!! She turned 10 on Feb.27. Yes folks she reached the double digits. Savy makes my heart swell with her kindness and thoughtfulness. I admire how she thinks things out trying to make things special for other people. She is a girl that likes order in the small details. She is a great organizer and enjoys making things pretty. I love how she can lose herself into her imagination by herself and with her siblings. She gives the tightest hugs that make you almost fall over at times. She is graceful. She is a very sweet sister.Her brothers and sisters are lucky to have her to play with and have her read to them... She is a JOY. I love being her mommy!!!!!

                                                  OK!! Rich and I went on a cruise with a bunch of friends down to Mexico...We went for a week and had a blast. Talk  about returning to our youth. Leaving all work and stresses behind and having good clean fun for a week with good friends. We got to see other countries. We did a zip line which was huge for me, Rich got to sing his heart out at karaoke nights, we got to snorkel, lay on the beach, and eat so much good food that our bellies were very happy. So, it was well worth it and it was so good to be with my favorite man for a whole week and not have to share him. Call me selfish, but I really enjoyed it.....too much fun.

This is our TREY TREY. Isn't he a real cutie. This is him on his 5th Birthday on Feb.5th. I wanted to share of my JOY of Trey. Trey holds a special place in my heart. He is so sweet and loving. He is always telling me how I'm the best MOMMY! (what mom doesn't want to hear that). He is a very smart and courious boy. He loves his siblings and doing AOKs for them (he learned this at school...acts of kindness). He also reminds me of a monkey., how he can hang and move around. I don't know of any one who can look like rubber as he moves around bouncing into things like a pingpong game. It is so funny. A real gift :) I am really blessed to have such a great boy named TREY. I love you Trey!!
