I received this in an email from my friend Patty. I think it is something we can easily do to be a good example for the children in our lives........
This is so beautiful..... A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say...
WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life....
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing, and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and wanted to say, 'Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.'
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS,BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER SEES. LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT ..
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend) influence the life of a child. How will you touch the life of someone today? Just by sending this to someone else, you will probably make them at least think about their influence on others.
Live simply.. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God

Oh So Cute!
I love to read blogs! Sometimes they are very sad, sometimes happy, and sometimes you find really cool things to make! I love this site. She is so creative! Today I made these cute little cake bites. 
I will have to practice to have them turn out as perfect as the one's Bakerella makes. This crafty lady also did a great job when she made cake pops! Go check out their blogs, I'm sure you'll find something fun to do.

Weekend Fun, and Adorable Babies
Saturday the girls and I went to the O C swap meet. It was perfect weather for walking the grounds. We bought a few things and had lunch then came home. FUN! We dropped Dana off then went to Laci's. Matt was in Las Vegas for a bachelor party for his brother, so I spent the night. This morning, Laci and I were joining her friends for the March of Dimes Walk For Babies . We arrived on the Loma Linda Campus around 7:30 AM . We were a group of 5 women, 6 babies, and 2 toddlers. 
This is Mackenzi and Evan holding hands. 
Evan's adorable sister, Macy. 
Macy wanted to play with Lincoln, her adorable little cousin. 
Lincoln's adorable twin, Gavin
Mackenzi's adorable brothers, Jace and Quinn. 
Mackenzi was playing with Evan IN the planters! 
We spotted this little Poodle wearing pink princess clothes and pink shoes, just like Mackenzi's. She even knows how to look at the camera! We thought she was so funny...silly dog.

The Recital
Friday night I went with the Gus Fam to see my little Braeden at his first piano recital. 
He did AWESOME! I am so proud of his ability to learn. He seems to soak up everything so easily. His piano teacher put on a very nice program. 
There were a total of 8 kids playing. Their ages ranged from 5 to about 14 years old. They all did great. 
She "Took us Around the World With Music" Each child played a piece from a different place, by a different composer. She had boarding passes, with each "destination" on it, an itinerary if you will, of the evening's pieces. 
She really did a good job, it was so nice!

Dana, Kevin, Brad, Kathy, Greg, Stephanie, and the kids all attended. We had a great time making cookies and just hanging out.
