12 Years ago I became a mom

Happy Birthday Brady. For Brady's birthday this year we took Brady and a couple of his friends to Boondocks. We had a great time, so much so that I forgot to take pictures. It is hard to believe that my first Baby is growing up so fast. I am so grateful for the blessing to be a mother. I love my children and being a mom.

Oceanside Day 2

California Horizon while at Knotts Berry Farm.

In line. It looks like a bird got caught in my hair. The headband belonged to Eden. As you can see, she got soaked on the first ride. I think it was then, that I adopted her headband.

A trip to Oceanside for a Family Reunion Day 1

I love the chaos of this picture. This September we were able to make it down to the yearly "Castaneda" Family Reunion. My Grandma Emilia Medina-Castaneda is one of 10 or 11 children. We had a great time. I hadn't seen so many of them in so long.

I especially enjoyed seeing my Mom, and my sister Roberta and her family. I love you guys. Just FYI Guanome State Park has an awesome campsite with one small cabin. I wish I would have taken pictures of the cabin. The kids favorite part was the talent show. Brady was feeling brave and sung "The Distance". I think someone in the crowed described it as Mormon Rap. I'm not sure the song was Mormon Rap...but I when you have a clean song and there is some rapping involved, it must be Mormon. When I get more "techy" I will have to post the video. Good times. Good times.
