I am amazed how quickly this year has flown by. I still can't believe its only a week before Christmas and two weeks before the close of 2009. I have a very eventful year. It has many wonderful blessings which I am so grateful for.
As I reflect on this year, I can't but be truly grateful for all the blessings I have received. I am so blessed with a loving family. I have beautiful sons and daughters who make me proud. I have a loving husband who does everything he can for our family. I have wonderful son-in-laws who treat my daughters with love and respect and those who have the priesthood honor that priesthood and I love and appreciate each of them. Richie has a wonderful girlfriend (which I hope he marries) (hint hint LOL) whom is amazing.

I now have 4 beautiful grand babies who are my pride and joy! And I have an amzing new brother and his family. What a blessing they are to me.


I got such a wonderful birthday gift this year with the surprise of a new brother. What a blessing he is in my life. I am still in awe and so thrilled to have him a part of our family. His children and wife are all amazing and have welcomed me into their family also. What greater gift could I ask for? Thanks John for seeking me out a
nd being so warm and caring.
This pat year also brought the loss of my Father-in-law. Gilbert Leon De La Rosa. We have many fond memories of family gathering with him. Many of which make us laugh.
It also breaks my heart that my sister Helen and brother Bert still continue to choose not to be a part of our family. I only wish them happiness and pray that some day they will be a part of our family again.
Our precious Leila was blessed this month and I was again given the opportunity to make a blessing gown. She was beautiful.


Danny is doing great. He enjoys school. He made the honor roll this year. He continues to make new friends.
As for me, I just got accepted on at the Clark County School District as a support sub. I am looking forward to that. I also continue to take pictures and learn more every day in doing so. I hope to take a class in Jan on photography and be even better. I love going on trips and taking such amazing pictures.
I just can't say enough how grateful and blessed I have been this past yer. I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who has blessed my life. I am thankful for His loving guidance in my life.
Well this has gotten rather long. I want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years. May 2010 be even better then 2009. God Bless Us every one.
