Fighting For Their Life...
My Mom and Uncle Randy continue to battle unrelenting doctor's visits, chemo, radiation, tests, and medication, but... their faith remains strong. These two, brother & sister, keep their prayers up and bad news down. As they press on, please pray for total healing and restoration in their young bodies.
GOD CAN DO ANYTHING! Luke 18:27

Don't kiss the frog!
What a wonderful, unexpected turn of events... Everyone in the family was able to drop what they were doing and head to Florida to visit with Uncle Randy. For us that also meant seeing Nana G & Grandpa Dan. They were able to turn on their roles as cool grandparents right away. As always, the trip was too short.
Family Reunion at Tomoka State Park
The Iglesias family was long over due for a reunion. Everyone was able to take off from work and other duties to get together. We laughed over old memories and gave a big round applause to our two champion fighters Uncle Randy and my Mom.
Remember to keep them in your prayers as the continue to battle cancer!

I'm not really going to explain this picture. If you have never done this... you might be saying "what the heck?" If you have done this well, this won't seem so strange! I love the smoke coming out of Graham's ear.
Mother's Day 2009
Here are my beautiful children forced to take a picture with me on Mother's Day. I did make them pose and smile and Jordan would have nothing to do with that! He is upset cause he already got one spanking and did not want to be cooperative. Aren't children suppose to be total angels on these special days??? The only thing I would change is seeing my own Mother on Mother's Day... or any day for that matter. She is still on chemo so please pray for her. Hope every Mother had a wonderful day.
A shout out to Joe
As I do my afternoon surfing I just wanted to give a shout out to Joe. Randy is my main squeeze, but Joe is my afternoon pick-me-up. It's hot and delish and I feel so motivated drinking it and when I'm done. I remember as a kid, feeling confused as to why grown ups would just go and 'have coffee'. Oh- I so understand now. I love to just go and 'have coffee'. I don't think I go and 'have coffee' enough. Randy does not share my passion on this, but I am not a closet drinker. I have married a sweet tea/Gatorade man and that's the way it shall forever be. So as I sit here sipping my vanilla flavored joe with truvia and fat free creamer... I am in bliss. I love you Joe!
Playdough and Toothpicks
We spent a Saturday creating the most awesome aliens. Graham wanted to destroy them. We put up a good fight, but in the end... His 42, 2" long, wooden wall of fierceness was no match for me and Hannah's plastic knife. A rematch is in order... we just have to go to Wal-Mart and enlist some more dough!
REACH Homeschool Field Day
The homeschool group we are a part of hosted a field day at Seven Oaks. They had everything from face painting, three-legged race, to a pie eating contest. It was hot but they had lots of popsicles. Jordan ate 6. People just kept feeling sorry for his hot little, red cheeks and he scored so many frozen treats. Graham had a blast and I had the hardest time keeping up with him. He went from game to game and field to field. Hannah even got to shake the parachute. This day was fun and ended in lots of water and a looooooong afternoon nap!

Glorious Goop
This is the highlight of any day for these children. Getting messy! We made goop with cornstarch and water. It is the coolest stuff. And even for yours truly (who hates to dirty hands) can't help but touch it. We have plans to make a BIG tub of it and really get our elbows in it. Stay tuned...
Date Night
The Hubby and I have not had a date night in quite awhile. Once, on my Birthday last year, but he wore out quickly cause my birthday wish was to ride bikes to the restaurant. No- not kidding. So, we planned a day in Charleston and enjoyed each others company. We walked around Williams-Sonoma and talked about our dream kitchen and all the "stuff" we would have in it. We ate Godiva chocolate... sharing every piece. And see the awesome bracelet on my wrist? My darling took me shopping at Brighton's!!! And just when I thought he couldn't get anymore dreamy and wonderful, he surprised me with a dinner booking at a fabulous little Italian restaurant. The food was heaven. We wished we could have stayed longer, but it was a 2 hour drive home. We asked a hostess to take our picture capturing the moment of two lovebirds... children-free.
Easter 2009
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We did egg hunt galore. This was our first Easter as family. We had a wonderful holiday celebrating the resurrection of Christ!
He has risen! Hallelujah!
