"Katrina Marie"

Katrina Marie was born December 31 1983 (11)!!!! days late.

At 8 pounds 4 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long, She was immediately the joy and most wonderful thing that had ever happened to me.
Katrina is the oldest of the 6 siblings. She has often taken on the role in the truest of senses - she is quick to feel responsible for her siblings, she worrys for them , she gives advice , she loves and cares for them .

Katrina is the truest of friends to everyone who knows and loves her.

Inspite of wanting to do things different than the way she was raised, she still finds her family to be her most precious gem.

She is a fantastic Mom and much older and wiser than her 28 years young.

Although I am Katrina's Mom , we have often wondered if the roles were doled out by mistake - Katrina is my best and dearest friend and I am proud to call her " my daughter "

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRINA- WE LOVE YOU!!

Jessica My Love

There are many treasures in this world , many blessings and many Miracles but none as great as my Jessica . I have a couple of regrets in life not many but the greatest of all is the fact that I have not said enough how much I love Jessica .
Jessica was born the 4th child of 6 to a young and crazy mom.

Jessica was a happy eager to please child and she has grown to be a beautiful woman , life has not always been easy and she has overcome so much in her life and I am so proud of her but most of all-

I love my Jessica , I love the way she laughs , I love the way she likes to take pictures of herself, I love that she is proud to be mexican ( even though she cannot speak spanish) I love that she forgives, I love that she cries at sad stories. I love that she loves dogs .

I love that she always has time for her babies, I love that she tries, I love that she and she alone made a decision to go to school and did it ! , I love that she makes friends at a drop of a pin and forgives on a dime.

I love that as a little girl she would tell me every night " I will never leave you Mom" I love that Jessica got a tattoo inspite of what others thought, I love that Jessica says what she thinks and I love that Jessica loves her brothers and sisters and I love when things get tough Jessica never stops trying.

Jessica never stops daring to be who she is and I love her for her strength and her courage and I have not said enough how much I love my Jessica .

Jessica - I love you with all my heart and I could have said it more and I could have showed it more , I could have hugged and kissed more but I could not love you more!
I love you Jessica !

No matter what - I love my Jessica !!
