The Joys of Being A Parent

We are getting our garden ready and have red tomatoes due to the warm weather.

Here are some cute shots

yay for 2012

If you keep in touch with us or keep up with our blog you know that 2011 was a tough year...I am looking forward to 2012. With that said God is always good and uses all things for the good of those who love Him but I like new beginnings :)

We have many hopes for this new year and turn to the Lord in prayer as we try to align our will with His. I won't share all of them but one of my hopes is to go 100% in the cloth diapering area.
I have some cloth diapers that were given to us or that I have purchased online (you can buy pre-owned for 1/3 of the cost) and I REALLY want this to be something I do for all my kids...less money, less waste and can be used on all of our kiddos..so I hope it becomes possible :)
We also hope for more kids God willing and hope this year to begin adding to our family. What a blessing children are!

If you read this please pray for us and God's perfect plan for us. Drop a comment as well!

Happy New Year

We are slackers and didn't get pics at Christmas but here are fun pics of Chiara playing at our friend's house. Her pants got super dirty so she is only in her diaper.

Chiara is 1

Even though Chiara's actual birthday is Nov 30th we had her party on the 26th. It was a Cowgirl Party! YeeHaw! Many of her cousins and good friends helped us celebrate!



Cowboy Marc did the grilling!





Chiara's first taste of bday cake!


My good friend from college came with her little boy! Fun!



Chiara's cousin hits the pinata! She had about 10 cousins and friends combined!

Chiara's 1st Thanksgiving

Chiara's 1st Thanksgiving consisted of all of Marcs immediate family. The pictures include the whole Navarro family and then Navarro family plus Marc;s grandparents.
