My two sweeties

Mateo Gilberto Chavez 2years and 3 1/2 months

Janeta Cynthia Chavez 2 months

Thriving

If you remember back a couple months ago, I posted about the planter boxes Cesar and Mateo made. Well my friends, they are flourishing! We have grean beans, cilantro, strawberries, jalapenos, serrano chiles, corn, tomatoes, citrus, and more tasty things coming... Mateo is especially excited because he has played such an active role in creating, planting, watering, and maintaining these plants! He's just like his mama because he eats the tomatoes right off the vine! He says they're yummy!This is the start of our compost pile.

Wow I'm Blessed

I was finishing up dinner tonight and looked outside to see my husband and my son holding hands and walking around on the back upper portion of our property. Janeta was sleeping and I couldn't help but think about how fortunate I am to have the life I live! June and July are extremely busy months and I can't help but remember that that my mother passed away in June and my grandpa passed away in July and they would be so proud of the person I've become and the gifts I've recieved. My kids are healthy and happy, my husband is a great provider and amazing father, my extended family is absolutely amazing and supportive, and we live in a beautiful house in a great deal of property that our kids are going to be able to enjoy for many years to come. We've had so many hardships, deaths, and struggles over the past couple years but man look at all the amazing things that have been created and developed! The Chavez cup is definitely half full not half empty. Thanks for listening to my sappy post.....:)
