Donate Life-Run/walk

Saturday I got up at 5am and drove to Fullerton for the Donate life 5K walk/run...
Maggy's family, Delia and Jim's family and Julie's mom and I were the ones to go and be on Julie's team. Jim, Tabin, Manuel, and the older girls ran and the rest of us walked. I pushed Julie in the wheelchair and never dumped her. It was a mixed path, half paved, half dirt trail.... we only got air once and Julie gave a girlie yell that she then wondered where it had come from! =)
We had alot of fun laughing most of the way which caused her mom to not know if I ever needed help or if we were doing just fine. Her mom also kept threatening to give me driving lessons... where the heck does that come from, I never crashed Julie, came darn close but never did! That's all that matters!
Next year Julie will be sporting classy new lungs and wearing a shirt that says DOUBLE LUNG RECIPIENT!!
She also said she would LOVE to be on a team with her donor family too!!!!
BREATHE LIFE!!!!

FLORIDA....... AGAIN

Growing up, when Tanya and I would have a sleep over, watch a movie or just hang out...our favorite munchies were Doritos and peanut m&m's!!!!
So we had to keep with tradition!!! We made the candy last the whole time but the chips only lasted a couple nights. YUM YUM YUM!!!!! Still our favorite!!!

MY JEWEL-EO

Please keep Julie in your prayers.. I can't go into details and please don't ask her questions, just know that her doctors need prayer for what they are about to try to accomplish and Julie needs to keep breathing until they get those lungs inside of her and it MUST be soon!!! Her rare unknown disease has brought her to 17 percent lung capacity..... God is truly her source of air!!!
Treasure EVERY moment.... none of us know what tomorrow may bring! Love, live, laugh!!

Halloween in the 80's

WOW.....an old friend pulled this out of hiding....a cowgirl huh?! You typically wont find me in a cowgirl hat! =)

GRAND SLAM!!!

On Wednesday April 8th 2009 my oldest son hit a GRAND SLAM out of the park, over the VERY tall trees, approx 380-400 feet.....

This is the same boy that at 1 month to the day we took him to his first Dodger game and handed him to Catcher Gary Carter for a photo and to absorb some of his professional major league skills!! I'd have to say it might have worked.

We sent it to the league and he signed it for us and sent it back. Those were the days!!

MY BOY!

OK so after the game at Cate, Jr. told me to check my pictures cause he said that he held his right hand to his side showing 'I love you" with his fingers. Ahhhh HOW SWEET, very clever of him, he knew I was taking pictures so he thought he'd do something special. I had to post these on my blog to show what a great kid I have........

OK so he forgot to stick out his first finger, ha ha so I got "hang loose" instead! OH well it was a nice thought. HA HA!!!
His excuse is that he needed to focus on the ball coming and he did the best he could.....
Now on to more exciting news.... Have you EVER seen an aluminum baseball bat snap in half??

So Mark was up to bat.... he hit the ball, we all felt it was THE hit, it hit just right and the ball went to the left and half of the bat went to the right..... IT WAS CRAZY!! Our young Sammy Sosa used a little too much muscle for that at bat! HA HA.....
Here are some more from that game.
