Day 132 of 365

Jackson Alexander Ramirez....you are a true joy to my heart. I'm so very Proud of you and all you have become. You amaze me everyday with your strong heart and mind! I know you are going to be able to handle any struggle, fear, or complication that God throws your way, because of your big heart! You really, really touched my heart last night when you said this was just God making sure you still had trust in him!! And you are 100% correct!  God has special plans for you, and today we might not know or understand what that may be, but your time will come. I know you will come out shining because you have Jesus on your side! Right now, today, we are going to put this struggle behind us and move on! We, as a family, will learn many life lessons from this experience! We love you so very much! And always remember we will ALWAYS be proud of you in every situation!

Day 131 of 365

Well I'm really slacking off at 365 day project! Sorry folks, I will try to do better, but with our busy lives it slips my mind a lot of times!!

As, I sit here this morning and reflect on our past weekend, I realize how very Blessed we are! God has really been working hard on our family the last few months and we have enjoyed seeing the changes. He places different struggles in our lives everyday, but to balance us out He also places Good in our lives! And we as a family have learned how to face and deal with these struggles, so we can enjoy the Good! For this, we are Blessed!

This weekend Jackson attended D-Now at our church. Aka Discipline Now. It's a weekend full of worship, fellowship, bible study, prayer, serving others and fun for the Youth Group! Him coming home and sharing all that he learned, all the stories, all the jokes that were played and all the songs he learned was one of the best feeling in the world!  I love watching him grow into a Great Christian Young Man! It really makes my heart smile.

Well since Jose had to work this weekend, I volunteered my time to help with the youth on Saturday. I, with Tristan by my side, drove the 12th grade girls around to their service projects.  Their assigned service project was to visit a local nursing home and to also visit some home bound church members. It was AWESOME to see Christ work through these young ladies as they talked, prayed, and visited with these people.  It was a great experience not only for me but for my lil T! I was so glad she got to witness these high school girls talking and speaking of Christ! What a Blessing!

I'm just so Thankful for all of the Leaders, helpers, and ministers at our church and in our Youth Department. You are all 'helping' us raise our kids into great Christian young people!  Ya'lls time, talents, and hearts mean a lot to me and my family. And to you we say Thank You!!!

Looking for a picture to share from our weekend is kind of funny. As you all know T loves to steal my phone and be a photographer. Most of the pictures she took were of herself, of course! But as I kept looking I came across one that she took at church, and I loves it!  I hope when she took this picture she saw the true beauty in it as I do......

Day 126 of 365

Jackson is getting ready for middle school baseball try-outs, starting this week. I had him go out and get some tips from a local high school player/friend. He seems to take the criticism from a teenager better than he does from us! Good luck son.....we love you!

T-bo and me cuddled up in bed early last night. 7:30 to be exact.....that's what your suppose to do when you don't feel good right?!

Day 117 of 365

Seems as if most of my pictures/blogs are about our furry family members! We just love them all so much...

As Jackson was playing with Zoe and her new stuffing free squirrel toy, he taught her a trick. She actually left this toy right on her nose until he told her she could get it. It was SO cute that we kept making him do it over and over again. Poor thing....

Day 116 of 365

Today, we had to say goodbye to our last little puppy. Our new addition, T-bo, is going to be so sad now that all his brothers and sisters are gone. The last lil guy went to Jose's cousin Mike and girlfriend Elly, all the way to Orlando, Fl. They were so cute with their new little baby - Rocco!



Good Luck to all of our new puppy owners...we hope you all enjoy your babies and take good care of them!

Love to all and God Bless,

Day 110 of 365

I feel like I have done nothing but eat, eat and eat the last month. I am Thankful for all the food, but boy oh boy, I can't keep eating like this.

Today, we ate our black eyed peas, and collards, since Daddy-O had to work yesterday. YUMMY!! Hopefully, eating the traditional food, a day late, doesn't bring us any bad luck this new year!

So, today was the last day of indulging! Tomorrow, its back to eating right, exercising and back to reality! So, let the good times roll.........

Love to all and God Bless,

Day 109 of 365

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

A New Year's Resolution......is a commitment that a person makes to one or more lasting personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit. This goal must be reached by the next New Year. Keep in mind that this is a goal, not a wish and should be something that you as a person could strive for.

So do You have One?!?!?!

For 2012, my family and I have set a New Year's Resolution together AS A FAMILY! We have agreed, prayed and set a perfect goal...We are going to read the Bible from Cover to Cover AS A FAMILY! For us this is so exciting! Not only, will it help us grown more as Christians, but it will help us grow as a family!



So do you have 15 minutes of your day to dedicate to the Lord?! Think about it........How much time and suffering did he dedicate to you and your life?! One of the main things he asks of us, as Christians, is to take a few minutes of your day to read and study his word! Set your goal AND DO IT!!!!!!

We Pray for a Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year for all of our families and friends!

Love to all and God Bless,
