Martin & Curtis Graduate from High School

Martin graduated from High School today, June 4, 2010. We had the best experience ever! I am extremely proud of my son! Also, Curtis, my "other son" graduated, too, so this was one of the best experiences ever! Below are some pictures and videos. Notice that I am not too good at taking videos with my old camera, however, it is nice to have something to brag about. :)

Visiting my lovely Mother, Tomasa

My lovely mother, Tomasa, has been recovering slowly, but surely. She is demonstrating such strength and will to live and I just love her SO much. It was hard seeing her in her darkest moments, but seeing her now full of live and vitality is such a blessing. She is slowly gaining weight, though she is losing all her hair. She handles it well, though and has a great sense of humor. She continues to undergo dialysis 3 times per week and is such a trooper. I love her so much and I only pray that I have her strength as I grow older.

Martin all grown up!

I am so proud of my son, Martin. He turned 18 on the 20th of May and will be graduating from High School on Friday, June 4, 2010. Words cannot express my excitement. I have been blessed in my life with so many things, but the best is having two wonderful, handsome sons that always keep me going. I don't know what my life would have been with out these two "piggies"--as I lovingly call them. They are truly the apple of my eyes.

We celebrated the events with my parents down the Rio Grande Valley. I was so excited to see my mother doing better and in good spirits. Martin received lots of gifts from his tias (Blanca, Rosie, Lupita, Delmit and Bengie) and as you can see by his huge smile, he was having an awesome time!

Update on our babies

I haven't had time to post, lately. I've been way too busy to blog; however, I was able to take some pictures of our babies, they are now 6 weeks old and look great. Can't wait to sex them and see what we have.

THREE LITTLE PIGGIES

A wonderful new beginning for us...

On Friday, April 16, 2010, as I was about to leave for work I checked the nest box and found 3 chubby round babies! Our Opal doe that we got from Margaret Bartold is a wonderful mother.

I had to leave to the Parelli Conference, but kept in contact with my sons via telephone as they checked on the babies. Okay, I'm SO excited that I can hardly contain myself!

We also are looking to move to our acre by end of May so we are already looking into plans for our new rabbit barn.

Below are the pictures of our cute little chubbies.
