Sweet Luisa turned 1 on Feb 27th and Isella
turns 3 on March 25th...had to go visit!
So excited that Lu-lu showed no shyness towards me!

Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose

This place was awesome....everything for kids to
roam, touch, experience, water sections, art rooms,
story time, face painting, fire trucks, you name it, they
had it for the little ones to do!
Got to meet Ernestine....wow, she was so cool, grew
up in Japan, was married to a Doctor and did alot
of missionary work, a sunday school teacher now at
PCC, could listen to her for hours!!
Oh those Kerrs....look at Gramma Rose, celebrated
her 88th birthday, looking thru her life book, so much LOVE!

Grandpa and Lu-lu, in the backyard!

My girls.....have surely captured my heart!

This is Gina and her new daugher Delilah,
we've been friends since 2001 and got a chance
to catch up, it was a blessing to hear how happy
she is being a wife and Mom.....
Poppy & Grandma from Chicago sent
birthday gifts and boy how fun when I
said "Isella, strike a pose!"
Tuesdays are FUN days for Isella, her dad
takes her to swim lessons, feeding the ducks,
story time at 2 places,

Isella makes friends immediatly....she's a doll!
Wendy & Luisa (Lu-lu) met up with us at the
park, we went out to lunch, we prayed and we thanked
God for our special time together....and then it was time
to go to airport! :[ I have so much peace and Joy when
I realize how blessed I am with all my kids doing
a great job being adults and parents....what else
could I ask for......Thank you LORD!

February goes so FAST!

If you know me, you know I have to brag about my
girlies, sweet little Luisa turned ONE on Feb 27th!
Isella is turning 3 on March 25 and I am on by way
shortly to get some hugs, kisses and enjoy some giiggle time!

We took our kiddos out for Chinese buffet...
FIRST time ever for them....it got a thumbs UP!

STORY time....learning about the boy who cried WOLF!

WOW...."Power Force" came into town and visited
about 5 schools in the area....my big boys came home
with stories about these guys who shared their life
stories. This big man was labeled 'the meanest prisoner
in America" He is a big teddy bear, and I cried when I
heard how GOD changed his life.....He really reached
out to the kids and expressed to them, that GOD has
had AWESOME plan for their future!
This guy is an EX Chicago BEAR, who lifted these
axes back & forth 26 times to the corner of his eyes!

Check out those muscles.....you know the boys
just loved the show! CLC hosted 4 nights of
"Power Force" where over 500 people made a
decision for Jesus! How cool is that?
This guy cracks me up, after doing some
huge lifting, he expressed to the audience
how he knows that the LOVE is all he needs!
His heart was so tender and he does have a funny
bone, he pretended to break a nail and complained
about it....hahahaha.......
Took the boys shopping at Old Navy
and the 2 Chris' had too much fun with
their new friends......
The Great white Hunter with a Red Stag
Bull!

Brando hanging out the window, cause
Spring has finally sprung....whoo-hooo!
