Everything Will Be Alright

My life has changed so much.
I loved the way my life was then...
But I LOVE my life now..even more.
The past was meant to be that way for us.
I never thought though...that I ....me..
could find love.
Psssshhh...how could I not have love...or have
loved for so long?
I am so grateful that the time has now come.
I am so happy and blessed to have this man
come into my life and change it...change everything.

My 102 year old Great Grandmother died this morning.

It was her time.

She is dancing in the arms of my Great Grandfather today,

into eternity, together again.

Love you Grandma Montano.

Jay...My Everything

This is my oldest boy Jay, he just turned 16.
He just got his driver's permit on his Birthday, December 19th.

He spent the days after Christmas with his Dad, and did a good amount of driving with him.

When he drives with me, I see now how my Mom felt. Actually she still acts like I'm a young driver, breaking with her little leg, while clutching the handle, crying out in fear at times. Ha ha, true, true.

Drives me crazy, I'm a great driver. Really I am.

But now, I do know how she feels......Ugh.

He's actually doing a pretty good job.

Sure doesn't brake fast enough for me though, and he gets a bit too close for comfort to the parked cars.

I can't believe my boy is 16......how time flies.

Tea Drinking & Tour

2009-01-03T20:07:00.000-08:00

The boys and I went on a tour of the Celestial Seasonings tea factory yesterday. It's in Boulder Colorado, about a 1/2 hour away from us.

We received 4ct sample packets of Country Peach Passion tea bags as our tickets.

While we waited for our tour to began, we were able to sample the teas. You can try all 104 types if you have enough time, and your stomach can handle it. :)

Anyway, we tried a few.

This Holiday type one, Candy Cane Lane was probably my favorite.

The Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride, was my least favorite of all the types I tried. Yes it was like drinking a sugar cookie. Grosses me out just thinking about it again.

My still #1 favorite is and always will be the Sleepytime. It tastes oh so lovely, and is very relaxing.

Really enjoyed the day though, the tour was very interesting, and I learned alot. Rave to the http://www.celestialseasonings.com/ people, free cool tour and free tea! We did buy more tea in the shop, Jay got a cool postcard, Ants a lip balm, and I got some mints in a very cool tin. I'd go back, and I'm sure Ants (9) will want to go back sometime. May even be able to drag Jay (16) back again.....probably not.

The girls and I making the tamales. Neice Ava has been helping already for a couple of years, well she makes a few.

She eats chile along with her mom and dad.

Mom rolls the masa, Sister Lori adds the meat, and I roll and fold

them up

Falling behind, while I take pictures.

We made 8 dozen, and they were great, I wish I had one right now.
