HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MONICA SHEALYN MENDEZ
Yesterday was Monica's 11th birthday. It is hard to believe that it has been 11 years. Monica has grown so much. She is very smart, and has discovered a love of poetry. She LOVES the color orange - therefore requested everything orange for her birthday, and she got it! She got an orange iPod, orange clothes, orange bed sheets and blanket, orange clothes hangers, orange backpack....you get the idea. She was very pleased with her birthday. We had the Sister Missionaries over for dinner and her dad bbq'd for us all. Everyone had a great time. I love you Monica! You are a very special little girl and I am thankful that I am your Mommy!

Well, I am back in school! I am beginning to wonder if I am going to be a professional student! Can I afford that? LOL
I just graduated last Oct with my Associate Degree in Accounting. I have decided to go back and get my diploma for the Medical Administrative Assistant. Most of my credits from before transferred, so I only have to go a couple of terms and I will be done! This will help me get into a Dr. Office, Clinic or even the Hospitals! Jobs are hard to get any more and I need all the help I can get these days.
Not much else has happened to us lately. We have been pretty much staying around Vancouver the past month. Summer is finally getting here. It has been in the high 80's to mid 90's the past couple of weeks. Hopefully we will get a few beach trips in here soon. Nothing like going to the beach!
Hope all is well with all of my family and friends! We love you all.

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!
