Grandma's 81st Birthday

Today was grandma's 81st birthday! We took her to Texas Roadhouse [her request] and had a great evening with her. We'll be celebrating with the rest of the family on Sunday with a party. We all can't believe she has lived this long but hope she also lives longer! We love you grandma and we hope you had a great birthday!!

Remembering 9/11

May we ALL remember that day, Tuesday September 11, 2001. Ten years ago. We will never forget all those individuals, families and loved ones who lost someone that day. May we never forget the men and women who continually serve our country EVERY SINGLE DAY for our freedom. May we thank them, solute them, pray for them. We are where we are today because of them, because of us and because of The Lord. May we pray to him, to keep this freedom because he is there. He's always there, holding our hand, giving us courage, and giving us knowledge. All that we need to continue through each day. May we also thank HIM for what we have, the people still in our lives and simply for having Him in our lives.

 

 

May God bless America!

 

 

Father's Day

Happy belated Father's day to those men in our lives that are fathers and that look after us. I have been so busy with work, I just havent had the time for anything lately. So here's my shout out...

To by father, Patrick James Baldwin. Oh how I love you! I miss you EVERYDAY. I think about what you would say or do in everything I do. You were the best father to me for the first 9 years of my life than I will ever have in my whole entire life. I know you're still with me and I know that you hope for the best...we all do. You will always be my knight and shinning armor, my hero, my best friend. Words cannot do justice for how greatly I'm appreciative for you. I miss you and love you.

Thank you to you other men in our lives. Thank you for all you do for us and the time and effort you put into everything you accomplish. Here's a picture of most of the men in our family. Happy Father's Day to each of you!

Marie's 22nd birthday

We celebrated my birthday this past weekend. We went to Tres Hombres, we call it 3 homos. It's an inside joke in our family! I love that place. The food is amazing and that's an understatement! We had a party with the family too which was a lot of fun. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! Thank you to my family for making it the best birthday yet! Here's just a few pics of how I spent my day:

For those of you that might not know or just havent had the time to go over and follow, I have a new blog. A blog about me. About my life, my struggles, my happiness, my stress, and my love for things. Now we'll still have this blog. I want this to mainly be about the family and what's going on in all of our lives, not just about me. So keep following. But go and check my blog out, follow, stalk, whatever you want to call it. I hope maybe by doing so you'll feel inspired or maybe get an answer. Whatever it is, happy blogging. I'll see you over there too!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy mother's day to all of you! Now I believe that were ALL mother's no matter if we have actually given birth or not. I believe we all have that motherly intuition, love, compassion and uniqueness in all of us. It's whether or not we actually portray it or not that makes us a great mother. I just want to wish my astonishing mother Lisa, a happy mother's day! I hope we all take the time not only today but every day to recognize the people in our lives especially our mother's that have given us life, that have given us the courage to make it through the tough times, and those that have given us that outpour of love that everyone needs.

Happy Mother's day!

Dad's birthday

Today is my dad's birthday. He'd be turning 75. I know crazy huh! [Yes he is A LOT older than my mom, given that my mom just turned 50]. I know if he was here today physically, he would only want to have a nice dinner and just have the family around. So that's what were gonna do! I took off tonight so I can spend it at home with the fam. I hope you have an awesome birthday up there in heaven dad! We'll definitely eat enough for you too! We love and miss you.
