Captain Hook and the Fairy Princess

Here is my daughter Savannah stitting in the pumkin patch. I absolutely love this picture!! She is definitely my "Fairy Princess"...Don't ya think?
Gabryel (my grandson) looks so brave...After all, Captain Hook is the bravest man ever!! Don't ya love his mustache?? hehehe!! Notice Savannah just had to be in the picture. LOL They are such good buddies...
Here are the two buddies after too much candy. Notice the look on Gabe face..he has had defenitely enough. But...nooo Savannah wants to make sure they get one more ride in before it's time to go. LOL Notice, Gabryel isn't too happy at the speed of this train...But, his Aunt can't stop the train now...hahaha! So, he just put his hands up in the air and decided if you can't fight them ..just join them....

Halloween for the Littlest grandkids!!

Here are the Little ones! They were so active it was exhausting...but, wonderful!!!
Elyjah is "Stitch"...(From the cartoon "Lilo and Stitch"). He yells, "Look Grandma! This is a big piece of candy! ...Can I eat it now??" Josiah is Rolly..(from the cartoon "Rolly Polly"). He is thinking.."What are we doing? Is this going to take all day?" LOL haha!
Dumbo..(James) said, "Bag this...I'm going shoot some hoops!!" Can you tell he has a low attention span?..LOL His dad (Michah) was sooo proud. I just had to get this picture...hehehe
"Watch out Josiah!!" Elyjah is going to hit ya Bud!!! Quick...RUN!!!

Dano (Danielle, my oldest daughter) wanted a picture too...So, here she is with Josiah and the baby Poppy (James). Don't ya think Josiah is thinking, "Okay mom...Do I have to do this again?!" WHEW!! What an exhausting day for the twins! Poor Elijah...

Josiah just couldn't make it home without a "cat nap"...or should I say a "Rolly Polly" nap! I say, "Thank God for such a wonderful memory!...But, thank God this day is almost over...." I hope you all enjoyed this day just almost as much as we did....

Update on my little friend Sunshine!!!! Please pray for safety!!!

It is time to update you on my little friend from Iraq. Please continue to pray for her safety and the safety of her loved ones. Here is her last post. Written on Friday, October 20, 2006. Please go to her blog and drop her a note of support....

From the middle of the events ...
On Thursday, terrorists attacked the police station behind my house , it was a horrible day ..I couldn't sleep well at the night before because of bad flu, I woke up at 7 am , while I was still in my bed I heard VERY loud explosion but it seemed to be far away from my neighborhood. I left bed and went to the living room ,at 7:30 while my mom was preparing to go to work we heard many explosions with heavy shooting just behind our house , my brother ( two years and half) ran from his room , shouting , crying , and shaking " MAMMY , NO,MAMMY " , he was sleepy , my sister was also asleep she left her room crawling , we hide in my grandparents' guest room , my grandpa was in his work , as soon as he reached there, two vehicles exploded near al-mosul university , we were very worried about him. he saw the whole thing . in that horrible explosion 25 were killed and 38 were badly injured ,all were from Iraqi citizens.many rockets fall on my neighborhood and in other regions that day , 19 innocents died , thank god my family and I are ok .. the phone didn't stop ringing all day long, our relatives and friends were checking us..I called my friend" B" , she said that at 7:30 am , the police station near her house was attacked by terrorists too , a nearby neighborhood noticed a battle also, so I think the situation is horrible in Musol as a whole…There is a curfew , and it will last for some time, I guess..Last week , the terrorists wanted to occupy mosul , but they failed. They will NEVER win ..It was a tough week for me , in every day I spend at least an hour trying to find an open way to go to school , it has been a month since I started school , and until now , I didn't go to school easily.I saw a video in Nineveh TV .in which a brave Iraqi policeman suspected in a driver driving his car speedy and coming toward the police station , he shot the driver before reaching the police station , but unfortunately the car exploded , to kill the brave policeman , who saved many souls, I was very touched by this video, god bless the policeman soul..Oh , I heard so many tragic news this week !!!. I very much appreciate your concern about Mohamed, his family doesn't want money, they just want an organization can send their child to a good hospital , Mohamed is very sick , and he is getting worse, so please hurry up..Eid will be on Sunday or Monday , I wish from the bottom of my heart that we will not have a curfew , and I will enjoy Eid .I didn't have fun since my grandparents left us, the first day we will have a big family meeting in my dad uncle's house , I am eager .Sunshine ..

You're right guys....Alyssa forgot to attach the link to the post! LOL


I woke up this morning and did what I always do. I ran down stairs to my office to see who had visited my blog. I had to laugh when I scrolled down and realized that Alyssa's video wasn't there! LOL She is with Dano for the day...so, I will have her work on it when she gets back. It is her turn to add her post to the blog....so, she will be mad if I do it wrong. So, I guess we will all have to wait....
