Halloween is coming....

This is one of my favorite times!!!
All clean!!!

This is our team for the Lymphoma walk


Hello everyone,
This week I have some pretty serious prayer requests for you all. Lots has been going on, and seemingly lots has been going wrong. First I need you to pray for my friend William. He was born last week, cute as can be and his parents have now been told he has meningitis and his entire left lobe has been affected and he may not make it through the week. This is very sad for everyone and we would like to also keep his mommy (Maureen) and daddy (Pablo) in your prayers.
Next up are the Calvillos. Baby Olivia was born last week and she is doing great. Her daddy used to play with my daddy and unfortunately her mommy is not doing too well. Her mommy is having some pulmonary problems and this has forced her daddy to quit football for the rest of the year and take care of Olivia and her sister Athena. It is a very scary time and I pray miss Alexia is going to be perfectly healthy after this all and able to go home to her two little girls.
Next in line is my silly grampa-Ray. Many of you remember me mentioning that he and granny recently retired and are running the streets in the USA. Well the other day Grampa Ray got a little carried away on his new bike and crashed and fractured his leg. He had major surgery the other day and is going to be fine, but not a great start to the retirement trek. Granny can't back up their 5th wheel so for now that are stuck parking in pull through spots or sleeping in shopping center parking lots...
This week may also be daddy's last game at home for football. It is very sad to think about but we ask that you all keep him and his team in your prayers, not so much for a win but for a turn around in attitudes and understanding in what is important... I want daddy to be encouraged and to be able to have fun out there again!!!
Well that is all the heavy stuff for now... Next week I will keep it light and include all our Halloween photos which should be good for a laugh...
Luv and prayers!!!!

I AM FINALLY BACK!!!

Thisis me and my grampa. He came to visit from FloridaThis is me and my other grampa... He is gone with granny now for the winter
Finally a picture of me and mom. We were at the football game
This is my fake camera smile...
I love cleaning!! Mom is teaching me how to do it all.

Okay folks, I am finally back. I know I have been getting worse at keeping things updated but now that my Granny is gone for the winter I have been told that I MUST keep things up to speed. I had to say goodbye to her last week as she is now officially retired and roaming the US. That makes it official, all of my grandparents are retired and spending my inheritance... (kidding!!)
I just had everyone over for Thanksgiving on Monday and made sure to entertain everyone while mom and dad were cooking and serving. We ended up having 18 players and not much food left over, but no one went home hungry.
I would like to announce to the world that my grandpa Ed is going to officially become a senior citizen this weekend. I know he will be thrilled that I have made that announcement to the world, but I wanted this to be a special way of wishing him a happy birthday... Happy birthday Gramps!!!
Our next edition should feature that Thanksgiving photos and some Halloween costume treasures. My and dad have lined up some pretty funny costumes for us all so we will keep you posted.
Hope you had a Happy Turkey!!!
