One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Cannon Beach 06-13-09
Mom and Dad came to Vancouver for their Vacation. We were able to tag along with them as they explored the wonderful Portland/Vancouver area. On this day we went to Cannon Beach and watched the sandcastle competition. It was such a blast. There were many, many, many good entries. A lot of time and talent is put into these sculptures, and then by the end of the day, the tide comes in and washes it away.

Well, its been awhile since I have blogged! No news is good news right? Not much has changed. We are still alive, have no money, need new a job.....what else is there to say?
Summer is coming and we are getting ready to enjoy ourselves this summer. I have been getting ideas of different things to do with the kids that wont cost me much money....(good thing because I don't have any). I hope this summer will be one of our best. The last few summers have pretty much sucked because we stayed home due to not having any money.
Anything new with any of our friends or family? Drop us a line.....love to hear from you!

Monica
So, I have not really posted anything much lately, just some quick, easy, no commitment to writing entries. But today.....today.....I have a real blog entry.
I have been so frustrated with parenting lately. I know raising teenagers is hard, we have all heard people tell stories. For the most part my girls have followed suit. Parenting teenagers is HARD. They are moody, angry, rebellious, and frustrating. But they can be fun, loving, interesting, and hilarious, too. My real problem is my pre-teen!
Monica is at that age where she is too old to play with "toys" but too young to hang out with the older girls. She is also the baby, so she has been spoiled and pampered. She now thinks the world revolves around her and that she does not have to do real chores,she has sisters to serve her.
I am afraid I have done this child a great disservice. I am now in the process of re-training her. Basically I have to start over. Boy have I got my work cut out for me. She definitely takes after her fathers, hot headed Hispanic nationality!
Tonight she informed me that she can do a better job raising herself than I could possibly do. (Not those words exactly, but pretty close). See what I have to work with? With faith and prayer I am sure we will make it through. So, does anyone want to come help me re-train a Pre-Teen?
In spite of all this, I still love her with all my heart. She is smart and funny and beautiful. She just needs to humble herself and learn that we are all in this together.....no matter what. I have no doubt that we will be able to fix this problem, it just may take a few years....LOL.
I love you Monica, even if you give me gray hair!
