He loved his birthday

Fabrice turned  9 on November 17,I believe he started counting down the days to his birthday3 weeks before everyday he asked me how long. we had asked him what he wanted for his birthday. He told us first he wanted a scooter,then I think he started thinking about ti more then he remember that when we went to Haiti in October that Kolbie and Kaleb had borrowed Payton's PSP so they had something to do on the long flights. well after a few days fabrice asked if he could play with it and he just loved it. On the last morning when we where getting them ready to go back to the orphanage Fabrice asked if he could take Dave's deodorant and the combs and his toothpaste and tooth brushes then he asked about the PSP and at first we said no but then he said I promise I will take care of it,we knew what would happen to it once he went back with it. but We could not say no. so then started telling everyone he wanted the little game he played in Haiti,so Daves family got together and bought him one,when he say it he got the biggest smile. He loved his birthday and all of his present's !! He really loved the Sprite and spicy chicken. Fabrice is very excited this week he has started taking The missionary lesson's so he can get baptized. We feel so blessed to have him in our life,I know how Fabrice came to us was meant to be. We love you so much fabrice.

What Matters is simple things

Life is about Simple Things!

This weekend we went to Daves Great Aunt's Funeral.It was a great celebration of her life,all of the speakers talked about how great her Hugs where,How she made each child and grandchild fill like they where her favorites,they also talked about how great her food was. Just all the simple things about life.There was no talk about anything Materialistic.

Last weekend we had our fall conference and  I really enjoyed the talk from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf He said in part of his talk to slow down and keep it simple.

This Morning we had fast and Testimony meeting,Fabrice leaned over to Dave and said I need to go talk and he meant it, he told Dave what he wanted to say and it was so sweet because he kept practing what he wanted to say, after he felt good about it he walked up to the Podium but someone was speaking so he sat on the bench and he looked so nervous but then it was his turn and he said what he wanted to say with such Meaning and it was so simple, the next thing you heard was lots of sniffles and smiles. Then this older gentleman felt after fabrice talk to go and bear his testimony.

He is one special spirt and he is meant to do something very special.

So when you get caught up in the worldly things remember all that matters is simple things.

She is not a Tomboy

 So Nerlange started Soccer but we soon fund out she likes to play it with her brothers,when they will let her. But she is way more into Girly stuff.

 Plus she really did not like being a Goalie. So we have since put her into Dance classes which she just loves.

Now She really like's making her Little Brother Yonelson  dance with her and plus he has learned to play Barbies with her.

Life can change so fast...

So This time last year I was so excited because we had 15 more days until we would be on our way to Haiti,little did we know that would be our last trip to visit the kids.

Now they are Home and I am saying to them Time to get up we need to get ready for school, Now we are going to there soccer games and watching them at dance practice. Plus we get to plan there Birthday party's and teach them all about Halloween and Thanksgiving and see there faces when the leaves are changing colors on the trees.

I want to try!!!

 we had a friend sleepover a couple of weeks ago. We decided to show them what a demolition derby at the state fair was,we ended up being a little bit early so the kids kept asking if they could try some of rides,so when they ask and  they give us the smiles:) we had to let them try.
As you can see in the one picture fabrice was excited but a little bit scared
we did end up at the derby but they where more impressed with the rides but you can not blame them they are pretty fun and maybe they where wondering why we would wreck prefectly good cars.

We are doing the Happy Dance

SO WE  have our decree all signed!!! The judge signed it on the 21st of september. our lawyer recieved it on friday!!!! 

Stuff we Do to pass Time Or just to make Lfe crazy

 So Life is so fun But busy we go from practice to practice,Then on the other night's we go to Soccer game's then football game's

 Then after practices we fit in Homework and dinner then oh It is time for Bed. Some times I am so tired and confused about where i need to be or what i need to do, but it is so worth it when i see the smiles on the faces and to hear the recap of what they did and how they feel abut there games.  It will be sad when the season's are over but then we get to start with the Holidays and Fabrice will still have Indoor Soccer games and the little one's are in Dance. I will post pictures of that next time because Yonelson has the Biggest smile when he is in his classes!!
P.S. We are still waiting on the Judge:(
