Thank You God, and I am not just saying that

I saw this and stole it (with God's permission) on my friends facebook post. 

I love it!  I REALLY LOVE IT!!!  And more over - I LIVE IT!!  I am not lying.  Every night we do prayers and we always ask for blessings for "everybody in the world, especially Mommy, Daddy, Joseph, Jaime, Sabrina, Niki and all of our pets, friends, family, co-workers, bosses, classmates, teachers, coaches and teammates and we hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow."  Every night without fail.  We do it.  We pray for everyone.  Well now I shall add the words "Thank you God for everybody in the world....and we hope God blesses everyone and that they all have a wonderful day tomorrow."  Okay so is doesn't roll off the tongue that well - we'll tweak it.  Actually tonight with Joseph we did the regular prayer and at the very end I added And Thank you God for all of them.  That worked but there's really more - need to thank him for beautiful days, and rainy days, and our jobs, and our home, and the food, (which technically is covered by Grace) our HEALTH.  We are just soooo very blessed!!!  Thank You God!  Truthfully when I have gotten emails from Jaime's cheerleading coach I have thanked God more than once because our weekend will be coming up and sure enough that's the weekend she's "off" and I do love our oldest spending time with us.

I'm off to bed - early TBall game at 9am tomorrow and I think we are going to Golden Corral at 7am-ish for breakfast first.

Thank You God, again, for everyone and everything.  With You we are/have/can do everything and without You.......nothing.  Amen

Awwww - look at me looking so cute =)

Dearest Jaime, I have decided that we will have to find you a different pair of shoes to use with your Halloween outfit, because Sabrina's shoes look sooooo cute on me!  I am going to keep them for myself.  =)

They did give me a HUGE blister though and I feel bad for not giving Joseph more care and support when he got his blisters from his bowling shoes now.  Bad mommy!  =(  I guess I just haven't had one in so long that I forgot the pain - kinda like childbirth!  Oh yes - that reminds me!  At the bus stop this morning - in my too cute outfit - it was said to me "I see you are working on another one".  Uhhhh not quite.  It was just the dress I told the man.  Note to self:  Add too cute dress to yard sale pile.....maybe  hahhahaahha

I was driving down Fairfax County Parkway

Jaime - did you know that you have a painting and drywall company?

Mosquitos and Lice

I hate them! And I honestly don't hate many things in this wonderful world, but these two have a way of getting under my skin - literally AND physically! Today shall be their demise though. I guess I am having a positive outlook sort of day all ready!

This is the Mac Daddy of website tests!

Of course the phone I use now, not much of an issue, but when I get a new one, look out. Plus I could technically borrow anyones and do this! I hate to get my hopes up, but dagone - this is sooooo cool!

Now to insert a photo! Or 6!!!!!! =)

I am falling in LOVE with blogspot!!!!

Let's give blogspot a try!

I think I already have a page on blogspot out there somewhere and actually created dalbofamily.com because I wanted more freedom to design the site the way I wanted, but I am realizing my posts aren't that frequent and it's BECAUSE that freedom is not as easily accessed and created!

I do have certain requirements though - have to be able to post photos and videos - not really big on having videos I make on youtube either because I like to put my music in and they flag it for copyright - which is bogus cuz I ain't makin no money off of it - that's for sure.  Just sharing what I own with family and friends, plus it entertains ME!  I LOVE watching us online!

Sweet daughters on the swing before I warned them of the spider behind them!

hahahahahahah

Beautiful fall day and they can't stop playing with their i's =)

Here are some photos I took of Sabrina and Jaime's playdoh creations last night.  They are SO talented.  I was happy to make a snake or snowman when I was a child!

This morning I walked out of the house and almost walked into this...

The pictures above were taken this morning of "Charlotte".  My spider friend.  She was living in the upper corner of the doorway and made the most authentic spooky door spiderwebs but recently she has moved to a location directly over the front sidewalk!  Sooo cool!  Her web spans from the dogwood trees on either side and I caught her right in the middle working on her breakfast!  I have a feeling Joe is going to move her to a less traveled place while I am at work today.

This will be a test with adding a video to the blog.  It's from Joseph's game on 9.17.11.  He was last batter so he got to run all the bases.  The quality seems low when blown up but honestly videos like this would probably do best being pulled from youtube.

Let's give it a try...

Doesn't look like the quality is too much better using youtube.  Oh well.  I guess low quality is better than nothing at all.  I still cannot believe it's been FOUR years since I took these pictures.  They've all changed so much and yet it seems like only yesterday.

Okay well that seems like enough for today.  I need to see about some other tweaks to this site like if I can post "old" stuff chronologically and change the design/background of the webpage.  Hope you have a great day!

Blast from the past!

[Feeling a little like Marty McFly if this works the way I am planning.]



"Cheese!"



Joseph and Nicole right before we went to Kindergarten Orientation

Nicole fussing at her brother for not catching a ball.  Having the cast doesn't seem to phase her in the least.
