The road of life twist and turns and no two directions are ever the same, yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination

This was a morning that Taya wokeup before her mom and quietly came upstairs without anyone knowing. I was walking to the kitchen and heard a little sweet voice singing. So i went upstairs not knowing anyone was awake yet. There was Taya with Karli's favorite nail polish on her hands and she had painted it all over a bench in my craft room. She had pulled up a bar stool and was trying to wash off the dried nail polish. She had no clue what she had done and was smiling and wanted to show Nana her hands. So cute! At times like this I think of the country song "your gonna miss this" and I smile and agree!!!! Nana loves you Taya!

This is Hunter the photographer, he was standing on a chair to take our picture! Way to go Bubby!!!
On Monday the 19th, My mom bought us lunch and we spent the afternoon at LaDawns because she couldnt find a baby sitter. So we asked Hunter to take out picture (4yrs old) He did a good job (it took a few pic's of the wall and celing but we finally got it) Good Memories! Thanks again for a fun birthday lunch!
More birthday fun with the BEAUTIFUL GIRL FRIENDS! Lunch at Paradise Cafe' with Jannae, Monica, Lynette R, Molly, Lana Lou, Dawnie. Our theme this year (thanks to Lana) is that we are all BEAUTIFUL! Everything we do is BEAUTIFUL.....ETC... I think it fits us perfectly!!!:)
January 17th Whoo Whooo!! Happy Birthday to me! 48 wonderful years (lol) For my birthday we went to dinner and a movie and after the movie we didnt want to go home so we all sat at this little table at the theater and gabbed for a long while! I went home full of gratitude for the privilege of having such great friends! Even one friendship is rare......Wow do I feel blessed!! And my little sis isnt even in the Pic! ( she is one of my best friends too) Sisters by birth, friends by choice!!:) So far, 48's OK!
Big event coming up!! Karli is one of the jungle people in the Hillcrest High Schools, Seussical the Musical! It opens November12th and runs thru to the15th. Karli has had so much fun practicing and preparing for this performance!! She sings and dances which has caused many sore muscles! The hours are long and I only see her at bed time :( They have recruited her to be one of the offical make-up artists (which is a pretty big job) She is having a blast and we cant wait to see the performance!
Karli and I took some boots and hot glued fur on them for her costume. It was fun but a very hairy mess (lots of sneezing).
Nearly 23 years ago our family, the Brady Bunch, Oops... I mean LaPoint Bunch came together to form a new family unit!
Like any family we have had good times and bad but like the quote on the top of this page, we learn something new everyday from this journey we call life!We have been blessed beyond measure and have much to be grateful for! We are often asked how we were able to have a sucessfull blended family and my response is quick...
We are on our knees alot! We have a ton of love that abounds in this family and we know with out our Faith in Christ we wouldn't be as sucessful!
Go LaPoint-Bunch!!
