Happy Birthday Babe!!!


You are everything to me , to all of us!

Love is what I feel
each time you
smile or touch my hand,
Love is how we know
each others thoughts,
and understand,
Love is sharing uphill paths,
and coasting now and then
LOVE IS KNOWING EVERYDAY I FALL FOR YOU AGAIN!!!


Happy Birthday Babe, we love you so much!

My Book "God Made In China'



This is the front and back cover of my book!!! It has taken almost a year to get to this point and I am so excited. I just know this book will touch your heart. It is a book about adoption, but it is also a book about the different ways that God creates us and how he loves us just the same. My prayer for this book is that it touches your heart when you read it the same way it touched mine as I was writing it.

If you would like to purchase a copy , just click on "ADD TO CART: on the sidebar and go from there. Thank you so very much and may God bless you always.

Love and blessings, Kristy

P.S. PLEASE FREE TO POST ANY OF THIS ON YOUR BLOG, OR TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS ON YOUR SIDEBAR. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING SO , I CAN SEND YOU THE INFORMATION FROM MY PUBLISHER WITH THE PAYPAL CODE. THANK YOU SO , SO , MUCH!!

Father's Day Pictures!


My Favorite "Daddies" in the whole world!!! (L to R....My Frank, My son Christopher, My BIL Ricky , and MY Daddy) I love to watch how they look to Poppy for guidance. They can't go wrong there. I love to see the respect that they all give my Daddy. A daughter always thinks her Daddy is the smartest man in the world."My Men" (l to R..Steven, Craig, Frank, and Christopher) These boys make my chest burst with Pride, all three of them have so many qualities just like their Dad, they know who is first in their life, and they love just like their father. I am in awe of them always.
"My Girls"
(L to R...Traci, Amy,Megan,Astrud and Chastity) These girls are my Beauty's, how much do you love this picture????? I think it is priceless, they are all so pretty!! How did I get so blessed!!

These pictures were taken at my Mom and Dad's on Father's Day. My sister's and I were so blessed in the "Daddy" department and I bet my kids would say the same. Frank is such a good father. Pastor Dave gave 5 things a Father should be in his message at church and I have to say that Frank has them all down just perfect. I know that next Father's Day we will have our Franceska with us and I know one thing for sure...The best gift I could ever give her is her Daddy!!

P.S. I will have a button to click on this week that will take you to my BOOK!!

Look what came today!!!!!


MY BOOK CAME TODAY FROM MY PUBLISHER!!!! I was so excited when I saw the box, WOW!! I can't believe I wrote a book! It's a Christian childrens book, titled "GOD MADE ME IN CHINA". It teaches that no matter if we look different from our family, or if our skin is a different color or even if we have a not so common name, God made each of us and HE loves all of us just the same. This book was truly a labor of love for my family. Franceska will not look like us, Astrud's name is not so common, we are truly a culturally diverse family but nonetheless God made us a family and he loves us no matter what!

My prayer for this book is not so much that I sell a thousand books, but that each book that is bought will somehow touch the heart of the family that buys it.

I will know more details next week about buying my book so I will keep all of you posted.

Thank you and God bless each of you and your famiies. Have a Blessed weekend.

Astruds Big Theatrical Debut....

Here is Astruds big Theatrical debut....She's a dead woman, that was being hidden as a LAMP!!! This just cracked us up, it was hilariolus!!! Her and our nephew Charlie were in this play together, and at one point he had to carry her lifeless body across the stage , and when he picked her up he groaned , and I can just imagine the laughs that were trying to be avoided!! It was awesome to see them in this play together...one day they are playing outside in the yard ...and the next they are in high school in a Theatre Arts play...where does the time go!!!
laying lifeless on the couch!

Charlie and Astrud the night of their Theatre Arts Play...And Then There Was One.

Update

Thank you to all of you who have been concerned about me. It is nothing serious, but for the last year and a half I have had alot of numbness and pain in my hands and wrists and since medical people are the worst kind of patients and since I knew what the problem was I put it off until last week. For the last 3 weeks I have not been sleeping all night , I have been having to get up and run cold water on my hands to get the blood running again. It feels like someone is driving over my arms with a Mack truck!!! Anyway I have pretty moderate Carpal tunnel so before having surgery, I had injections yesterday and am having to wear braces so with the black braces I look like a Freakish Boxer!!! I go back in six weeks and hopefully I will be alot better and won't have to have surgery....I dont have time for that! It would be so hard to not keep up with all of you for six weeks!!!

Thank you again for worrying about me and thank you for all of your well wishes!! I love all of you BIG!!
