Happy New Year India!!

How fun it was to celebrate the Indian New Year with my dear and beautiful friends. The food, entertainment and company were wonderful!! I had a blast!! And since I am a fan of such a rich and exciting culture, I jumped at a chance to be a part of it! I am truly blessed!








And I was able to where the traditional dress as well! I felt like a princess!! An Indian princess.













You can see the miracle work the Swetha did as she did the finishing touches for the necklace and ear-rings.










There was a chain that connected to the ear rings and were placed in the hair. I've never seen anything like it. It was so much fun!! I didn't understand anything that was said, but to repeat and bring emphasis, the food was great, the people were amazing and I felt like a princess...what else could you want?

Baby!! Dearest Valin!!I couldn't be happier!!!

I am a happy Aunt!! So I was able to see my new little nephew and his beautiful mother-my dear sister and the awesome daddy-Paxti-my great brother-in-law. These are about one eighth the pictures taken that night...I might have gotten a bit taken away, but being an Aunt to such a cute baby-can you blame me? So....the pictures speak for themselves, I'll just add a little comment here and there...like for this picture...I truly could not stop kissing the little guy....oh he was so cute!!!




Valin is peacefully resting in Nick's arms. I told him he looked natural at it....doesn't he! I have such a good man for a husband!!










Someone else that was natural was Jillian. This is her singing...or talking...lets just say loving the baby boy, we are lucky to call him our Nephew.











Look at his hair!!! How neat is that!!













Look at this face...I know you just want to hold him yourself!! Okay I may be running over with Auntie pride just a wee bit...but can you blame me...oh I miss him!!










Speaking of missing...I was able to see my dear sister!!! I miss her so much it hurts!! But I was making up for the lost hugs and talks-that is for sure! Isn't she beautiful!!! She is such a awesome mother....so natural and amazing. I know I will learn much from her and her example!








Are we sisters? Yes we are!!! I love you Jilly! Look how here comes a model everyone.













Sister power!! Oh does anyone feel like singing, "As sisters in Zion?" Anyone? I know Jill you think that was too much...well mom laughed, she thinks I'm funny! I love my beautiful and talented sisters, I am very blessed to have them in my life. Strong and go get them women-examples for me and my future generations.







Like how to eat steak. I had to put this one in.

Hello World!

It is such a blessing to live here!! We are able to meet such good friends that we would normally not have met if we were somewhere else. We went to Olive Garden with Swetha her husband and or other dear friends. What a dear and fun night we had, we love our dear friends!!! We laughed and ate our hearts away!!!








I am swimming with the dolphins!! Okay...so I am not really swimming with dolphins...but what fun we had! Went to a Lolou for the Turners one year old. It was huge!!!! So much awesome food;meat, and more awesome meat!! It was well decorated and we love the Hawaiian band for the live music , and the people were awesome!!







Here is my handsome hubby playing with the decorations. The party filled the whole gym!! We have never been to a real Hawaiian Lulou, and it was a great treat to enjoy the culture and people while celebrating a birthday for such a special little person to such a wonderful family! Hola !
