EASTER

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Seeing all he kids together this Easter was fantastic. With all the new additions this year we had our hands full. Becky and Joshua were able to join us. Watching the kids go crazy looking for eggs makes you laugh and realize how much joy they bring to our life. All the men become children as they try to hide the eggs extra good for the big kids.

VISITING GRANDPA

As soon as we heard that our grandpa Llanes was not doing so well, my stomache turned. In my lifetime only one close relative has passed, my grandma. These are the only people in my life that I have always looked up to. I am glad that my both my kids were able to get to know grandpa and build a relationship with him. Seeing him sick this time around was the hardest thing ever. My aunt Lydia is doing a superb job at caring for him. Her strength and dedication are qualities I can only wish to aquire. I hope Lydia knows that the Hobgoods love her and think of her as a 2nd mom.

Grandpa, we all love you!

February 8th
My baby turned 15 today. I am so proud of her. She is a great daughter and wonderful sister to Hayden. I just wish she thought I was cool.....I am ?.....right?


Valentines day this year was a little disastrous. Morty was sick with the flu for 1 week. Poor baby looked miserable. No Valentines dinner:(

JANUARY '08

Morty and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Through ups and downs we have made it! I could not imagine my life without Morty. A man who cooks, cleans, does laundry, takes care of his kids (not babysit them), and provides for his family. Who knew at 16 that I would get the whole package. I LOVE YOU, BABE, WITH ALL MY HEART.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S

None of should quit our day jobs! We rang in the new year with tons of food and so-called singing.

DECEMBER '07

Celebrated Mom’s birthday by her making her own dinner! She never wants to go out and eat. We all gave mom Christmas ornaments for her xmas tree.

What a great christmas. It was nice to see all the family together. Christmas is all about the kids. What I wouldn't give to be a kid again.

Xavier and Lalanie turn one!

November '07

Let's see Thanksgiving. Mom is the best cook and Patrick did a great job on the table settings. It was great to see Becky and to see Joshua for the first time.
