The theme for FFF this week is "Just One". I picked this "just one" picture of my oldest baby Kelsey. This weekend will be packed full of graduation festivities as my beautiful baby graduates from highschool. Where has the time gone? There hasn't been a day that goes by since her prom that when I look at her it doesn't hit me that my baby has grown up and will be leaving in just a few short weeks to explore "her" world. I love you with everything I have Kelsey and I know you will go far in your life.

Guess Who

Is he not just the cutest little guy?

Brother update

Well since Natalie gave me the guilt trip of not updating I guess here goes...LOL. Via email and phone calls I have found that this little guys name is Kevin Estuardo and his birthday is Jan 23, 2007. He lives an hour and a half from us and although he is only actually a half brother, him and Aiden have many similarities. They have the same shaped eyes and nose but Kevin didn't get Aiden's spikey hair...his looks as if it lays down...LOL. I am going to ask his mom if she minds if we post a picture so you all can see what this gorgeous little guy looks like.

GUESS WHAT? we are actually getting together with Kevin and his family on June 1st for the boys to meet and get to know each other and we have promised to keep in contact and see each other as much as we can. We are so excited and as I said before I am very envious of Aiden for getting the opportunity to find a member of his biological family. I pray that they get many opportunities to be with each other and share in the trials and tribulations of their lives.

I am off to email Kevin's mommy now to see if I can post his picture.

OMG, OMG, Guess what?

I get up this morning and check my emails like I do usually first off in the morning and I had received an email from a lady saying she thinks that her son is Aiden's brother....my jaw dropped. They only live approx 2 hrs from us...is that not the neatest thing. As we email more back and forth things are starting to match up. Being adopted myself and having little to no info and no way of finding out if I have any birth siblings, made me cry my eyes out with excitement for Aiden...is that not just the best way to start the day?

The theme for FFF this week is "Fun in the Sun". We are enjoying the warm weather and spend lots of time outside letting Aiden "pway".

Clara's big 13 party

Well scatter brained mom remembered the camera but didn't remember to charge the batteries beforehand so we only got a few pictures. Clara and her friend's seemed to of had a great time being the typical goofy teenagers. I picked them up from school and they hung around the house until later in the afternoon when we went to dinner...of all places they picked Golden Corral. We then headed to the hotel where good ole mom had reserved two rooms that adjoined so that I could have at least a little peace and quiet when we were in the rooms. The girls swam for a few hours and then came and got showers and headed to the game room where they ran into of all things....boys that were staying at the same hotel for an archery club gathering. They did come back to the room at the time I told them and stayed up until 1:30 eating junk food mom had brought and playing games and cards.

I will tell you that when I went in to check on them I was very glad that I had chosen to have it at the hotel because their room literally looked like a tornado had hit it with all their clothes and things EVERYWHERE. I had forewarned them when we got to the hotel that before we could leave the next morning that all had to be picked up and the room had to look as it did when we got there...wish I would of taken before and after pictures...lol. Well anyway enjoy the pictures we were able to take.

Clara, Kristin, Shelby and Sam chowing down

The girls before heading to the pool. Notice

Shelby's yellow teeth from her sucker...lol.

I thought this picture was cute..I can see Clara

useing this one as her myspace picture.

The look on Clara's face is hilarious in

this picture....she was trying to help

Kristin up on Sam's shoulders.

This picture would be so much better

if I wasn't glowing and Aiden didn't

look like he had an afro...lol.
