| The best things in life are free. |
| "These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive. And these are the moments I'll remember all my life. I've found all I've waited for...and I could not ask for more." |
 |
| Grandma, Popi, Tammy, me, and Brittany, in the front are Sierra and Tomas. |

| Here's Tomas playing my guitar. This could be on Behind the Music one day. Well, ya gotta start 'em early. |
 |

| Here we were playing in the park. Those kids are my everything. The only thing that makes me realize that I'm getting older is seeing my little brother and sister changing so much and getting so big, developing their own little personalities. |

| Ok, here's the scoop: I asked Sierra if she wanted me to put makeup on her and dress her up, and she said she did, so I put makeup on her just like I do my own and I fixed her hair and put her in my clothes (yes, my clothes. This 10-year-old child is so tall, she fit into MY clothes). After I got her all fixed up, I wanted to take a picture because Tammy was at work and I wanted her to see how cute Sierra looked. A few days later, after we got home from the meeting, we were changing clothes and Ito (Tomas) put on Sierra's dress. Of course, being our little brother, everything he does is funny. Ito (being the ham that he is) now wants to go all out to look like a girl and make us laugh even harder (which it did). So I tied my purple bandana around his head, put on my purple sunglasses and some lipstick and >poof< he's a girl. He WANTED me to take a picture. Everyone who sees it thinks it was me telling him to do it, but if that was the case, he wouldn't be posing like that. I just didn't put the REALLY bad one on here. He thinks it's funny now, but wait til he's 18 and I show this to his girlfriend. |
