My great friend Susan and I adopted our girls from China at the same time. We did not know each other until God through His AMAZING plan place two neighbors (yes we live about 2 miles from one another) on a plane across the world to be united with our daughters!!! We have since then became wonderful friends. Our girls are close and they say they are "Chinese Sisters" SO SWEET!!!! Susan, I am blessed to call you my friend. If Anna turns out to be only HALF the woman you are she will bless many!!! YOU ARE GREAT AND I LOVE YOU!!!! I am glad the girls are able to do things together. My prayer is they remain close through their lives.

Happy 7th Birthday Princess Alisa!!!! WE LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!

Introducing the BIRTHDAY PRINCESS, ALISA!!!!!! We interrupt this birthday for a broken down car! The guys had to push it off!!! The poor teenager was very thankful!!!!!!Back to CELEBRATING!!

Does this dress fit? She has shopped just like this with her MIMI since she was sooooo young!!!

MIMI and HER GIRLS!!! Alisa insisted on finding her some "high heels." Then of course Josy had to find her some to try on!!! We explained to her that it was not her birthday. She kept saying "What about Jos?" "Jos hasn't got anything!" Can you see the mischief in her eyes? Alisa, you have pizza on your face.

Mommy said do not share lipstick but can I please have a little???

Alisa we can not believe you are 7 already!!! We love you very much!!!!! For you that do not know our story Alisa is a very special part of our lives! Her mom and dad have allowed us to be involved in her life. We started keeping her when she was just days old!!! It is AMAZING how God can make a family where blood relation has no merit!!!!

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL WANT?????

JOSY TOOK THIS PICTURE!!!! GOTTA LOVE MY HAIR BLOWING IN THE WIND!!!!

My BESTEST friend in the whole world came over Saturday. She brought my FAVORITE Mocha from STARBUCKS. We set in the yard enjoying the wonderful sunshine and watching the girls play!!! She brought her boyfriends little girl Sierra. She and Josy had a super time. While the girls were playing and we were enjoying our coffee my beloved Johnathan and his friend Cody pressure washed the porch. If I did not know better I would have thought this was MOTHER'S DAY this weekend, instead of last weekend. Although, I did enjoy Stone Mountain it sure was nice to spend a Saturday morning with my Tammie!!!

Doesn't my porch look squeeky clean????

Two Monkey's trying to get the swing level!!!!

GOTTA LOVE THE BOOTS!!!!!!

Notice Miss Boss trying to tell Johnathan how to wash the porch!!!!

JOSY AND SIERRA

Josy, Do you see any caterpillars????

Sharing a secret and hunting caterpillars!!!!

The girl's cleaning the leaves off the trampoline from the storm!!

Where Oh Where Has Her Panties Gone?

Since we have been back from our trip I have not been able to find ANY of Josy's panties!! Normally finding panties is not a problem as she has about 30 or 40 pair. No kidding!!! I ask her what she has managed to do with them and she says " I put them on and wore them ALL to school." I know that she did not wear ALL of them to school, but I am hopeful that she did not take them to school in her backpack and give them away. I would not put it past her! I do believe her teacher would have mentioned it, I hope! Well we have searched high and low and we are without panties! I do hate to buy more because I know the minute I do we will find them and what a waste of money that will be!!!

STONE MOUNTAIN

This past weekend we spent the weekend at Stone Mountain. We had a wonderful time. Below I have posted some pictures of our ADVENTURE. Josy was not to excited about the ride in the car. She kept saying this is soooo BORING. When we arrived at the motel we were checking in and Josy ask the man if he had any coloring books because she was bored. She is not scared to ask for her WANTS to be met. (EVEN BY A STRANGER!) We did have a great time. You will notice in one of the pictures that Josy is pulling up her britches. Yes this was the view almost the whole time. She got to where she would just hold them when she would run so they wouldn't fall down!!!! Poor thing!!! Also, she had her first experince with pop-rocks. You know the candy you put in your mouth and it fizzes. Darrell and Johnathan was so excited to surprise her with the fizzie candy, but it didn't phase her at all. They had more fun with it than she did.
