Where the side walk ends!

Flooded!!!

This was at the Creation Musium

Most of the are crashed... after a long day at the museum

THE ZOO!!!

Hard to get us all in one shot.

A little inch worm Shamiao carried around for a long time she loves to take care of things! it was the high light of the zoo for her!

Had to add a few animal shots...

I meant the gorilla not the kids!!

And these two were beautiful!

We had a GREAT time!!! Love the R family!!! Thank you for putting up with us! Love love loved playing cards till way late. and the miss Julia "I am crying and cant stop!" or throwing her self off the bed due to lack of sleep. Love your kids!

1 year ago Gotcha day!!

It seems so long ago but then it seems like yesterday! Waiting to hold my sweet pea for the first time.

She was so so tiny...

and so beautiful and happy

I was just beaming!! one happy Mommy I was blessed with another wonderful child.

Going to her orphanage looking in to the room where her little bed was empty so many emotions...

Ooo I love them!!

And now look at my beautiful little lady! 5 Years old and growing so fast!

This was the picture that i first saw when we were not looking, but I had to just ask about her... just get a little more info... hooked click on the pic below she has the same expression = )

Shamiao came to us 23lbs and 33in tall. She has grown to 28lbs and 37.5 in!!! That is 5 lbs and 4 inches in one year! 5 lbs on someone that tiny is allot!! Wow she was in 18month cloths and now her little legs are in 3T and 4T. Her little skinny body does not fit so good so we have to get the adjustable waist. She is growing so fast she gets bad pains in her legs. We are so so Blessed with our children. I know I say that allot but I just cant believe God picked me to be their mom. How could one mom get 3 wonderful beautiful funny bold kind silly fabulous kids??? Happy Gotcha Day to all our travel buddies!!!! We miss you all!

Shamiao is 5!!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet pea!!

I am so Blessed!

She is loosing all her baby... and turning into a little lady!

Jack got her 2 fish and she loves them!

We also did the Pinewood Derby. They worked hard on there cars. and did great!

Shamiao's is the yellow one.

Kai's is the red one.

They picked the shape they wanted and the color and stickers. I thought for sure we would have a very girly car but it was not girly at all.

This month our FCC group went to a kids cooking class and they made fortune cookies and dumplings. They had a great time and it was yummy!
