HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOJO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today joey is 3 years old. here i go again repeating myself but it is the truth, i cant believe how fast the time is flying.
i remember the day i was admitted to the hospital. my mom and sister wanted to take me out for a good meal at the texas land & cattle. as i was sitting there eating i was having contractions but i guess i didnt realize thats what they were so of course i continued with my meal. when jason took me to the hospital that night for them to start induction the nurse said we cant start because you are already in labor. hum, that was a big surprise to me and also to jason because he was under the impression he was just dropping me off to get everything going and he would be able to leave with my mom and go to the casino. instead, the nurse told him that i could deliver anytime through the night. so he "slept" on a concrete bench in my hospital room. to this day i get to hear how uncomfortable that bench was. i guess he thought i was having a spa day while i was there. truthfully comfort was something i was not feeling. anyway on july 5, 2005 around 11:20 in the morning joseph sean graced us with his presence. i love you jojo and i wish you a very happy 3rd birthday and many many more. in the first picture he was 6 months old and cute as can be.here he is on thursday july 3, 2008. his party at the spray ground was cancelled due to bad weather so we ended up at home eating, opening presents and singing happy birthday. you can probably notice he likes diego. almost everything he received had diego on it and boy did he receive a lot of stuff. he is one lucky boy.... we sure missed having my sister and her family for this party. between my sister and i we can have a party without inviting anyone else but our own kids.

nicholas, this is what you bought your brother for his birthday. jojo kept saying, "nico mom. nico buy me." you will be happy to know he loved it.

this is our neighbor, mrs. m.. her and her husband had been married for almost 65 years and 2 yrs ago this november he passed away. now she is left all alone and we all try to visit her when possible. as we were walking in the house i asked her how she was doing. she said, " not too good i get tired of being here alone." so i invited her over and she was happy to come. out of all our kids i believe joey is her favorite, with aj a very close 2nd if not they are tied for 1st. joey loves her just the same...

here is auntie banana and sunnie. as you can see Bri has a new hair color. i really like it and i keep telling jason how much i like it so this morning he said, " you better not go and color your hair like that." so guess what??????

just kidding..... i can honestly say there was a time in my life i could pull that off but now not so much.. its hard enough trying to keep up covering my grey hairs,lol.... see what time does to you???????
