Remembering My Mother...

I kind of did this in a hurry because Iam leaving to go to Disneyland with my older girls this morning so i hope my wording and spelling isnt to bad :)
I have been missing my mom A LOT lately, she has been gone almost three years on the 24th of this month, I will be gone in Disneyland still so I thought I would just post some pictures of her.
My mother was not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside, She was so strong and brave through everything. I could go on and on about her but many of you knew her and know exactly what iam talking about and i have also ran out of time.
I miss her so much, having her gone has made me realize so much.
I love you mom...

2010-05-20T18:06:00.000-07:00

Christmas morning !!

2010-01-25T17:09:00.000-08:00

I just woke up the girls to open Santa's presents !

2010-01-25T16:57:00.000-08:00

It was so sweet, Jasmyn opened her first present and then asked

Saige for a hug (which we all know Jasmyn is not a huggy, kissey

kind of girl) so when they were done hugging I asked Jasmyn

why she wanted a hug from Saige and she said "because this

is the best day ever!"

Santa is so cool !! ;)
