Here's some recent pics of the girls. Dakota is 5yrs.4mo. and Sawyer is 2 1/2yrs. Time flies. They're getting so big. They continue to entertain us. Dakota is still in tap. She loves to color and draw. Sawyer loves to be just like her big sister. She's about mastered the "potty" waking me at 3am for some assistance. We're so proud of our beautiful girls. God is so good!
We're getting settled into our new house. The girls are loving it. We're really liking being on this side of town. Ramon continues to stay busy at work especially with this weather we've had lately. We're looking forward to Spring time and some warmer weather.
We hope all is well with you, our family and friends!
Another great tradition was all the young grand-daughters and great grand-daughters opening their pajamas from Grandpa. 
Which brings me to Frank Albert, my grandpa. He passed away and left us December 31st. We're deeply saddened. I know though that God has a plan. He gave us Christmas with him. He was surrounded by all of his family. For those of you that don't know, this is my mom's dad. He lived in town. I'll miss my occassional stops when I'd bring the girls by to visit him. He'd always make sure they got cookies from his cookie jar. I'll even miss him getting uptight over the fact that the girls would play with his 50 cent stuffed cat doll he got at a garage sale. I'll miss talking politics with him, when we'd agree to disagree. I'll miss asking to borrow his furniture dollies and telling him I'd get them out of the shed and then showing up and they'd be all ready for me on his porch. I'll miss watching him fall asleep on the couch and then him waking and saying he wasn't falling asleep. I'll miss taking the girls over to swim while he'd sit and watch from the patio and then bring them out popsicles. I'll miss when he's grumpy and getting him to laugh or smile. All these things I will miss! But I know he is in a better place. Thank you to all our friends and family for your love and support!
