Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



May each of you know how truly blessed you are on this St. Patrick's Day.

Happy Valentines Day 2011!



:) A fun edited picture of me & my valentine.

I hope everyone is enjoying a day being reminded of all those you love and most importantly that God has shown us His love in immense and undeserved ways. It is incredibly humbling to recognize how much unmerited favor is on my life and has been for so long. We serve an amazing God.

Much love XOXO :)

Veterans Day 2010

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
~Cynthia Ozick

I am very thankful for all the people who have served and are serving, those who have chosen to defend our country. I am especially grateful for my veteran, and the veterans in my family. Hug a veteran today, may they all feel gratitude and honor from all who benefit from the work they have done and continue to do.

Please take a moment and say a prayer and thank God for them.

Why Wear Green???

Thought this was interesting and good to know :) hehe Random Knowledge right!

Wearing Green on St. Patrick's Day

Ireland's nickname is "The Emerald Isle" because the grass on the hills is so green. Everyone wears the color green on St. Patrick's Day to honor The Emerald Isle. If someone forgets to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, those who are wearing green are allowed to give the offender a pinch as a reminder. However, if you pinch someone who is wearing green, that person gets to pinch you back ten times!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day... Early morning with the Delgados... as always reading the Christmas story and lighting the advent candles. Then opening presents...This year we drew names and it was nice and we were able to enjoy singing together as we did last year.












Then I headed over to the Blackman's to open presents and spend time with them. Sweet Pea said "My Aunt Kendra always brings 2 presents for everyone because she loves to give gifts like me" (I actually try to give a piece of clothing and something fun. Fulfill a need as well as a desire so never just socks but sometimes socks and underwear are included with something fun.) It is very sweet to me that as she is growing up she is noticing things. She tends to notice things about people and pays attention to the litte details. I love watching that in her. I really enjoyed the time with everyone and then we headed up to P-Cola to visit with Ryan's family. I started feeling bad during the afternoon so I slept on Nana's couch while Sweet Pea & Bubbaroo watched Meet the Robinson. (Cory gave this to Bubbaroo for Christmas and when he opened it he yelled "Meet the Harrelsons" which is Cory's last name too cute.) Everyone played games first they played a Yatzee game and then after I got up it was a room with double games of uno. Gator Uno on one table and Uno Flash on another.
I wasn't feeling well the rest of the day so I ended up going to the Dr. on Friday and I am so glad I did. Antibiotics are a great thing and I am so glad God has given us the gift of Doctors and Medicine. I am still on the mend but I am hoping this is my day to feel great again!!! Which is also why there are so many blogs today... I am trying to rest so I figure working on Pictures is a good place to start. Enjoy below and more to come~

It is Officially Christmas time!!!




I am so excited b/c when I came home today on the stairs is one of my favorite things about Christmas my annual box from my Grandma!! She is an amazing lady who every year makes a box of homemade goodies for all the members of our famiy complete with chocolate and peanut butter fudge, peanut clusters, cookies, and banana & pumkin bread!!! :) I love the box because it just feels like Christmas to me!
I had to include a picture but this was one of the only ones I could find on my computer this is 4th of July a couple of years ago w/Grandma Aunt Nancy, Uncle David, Me Little Kendra & my Bro in Law Junior. (there were many more people in the picture but no one else was looking at the camera!!! ;) Photos of large groups ah well!

Teenage photographers

What happens when I leave the room and the teenagers get my camera... about 20 random shots of playing with tree skirts and being crazy... I laughed out loud when I looked at all the shots.









Decorating the tree (& each other)

The Teens having a blast decorating!

Getting a Tree

It is the Delgado Family Tradition to always get a real tree... most years we go up to the Tree Farm and cut one down but this year it was easier to go to the local Lowes ;) We headed out and picked this one on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. (Jessi took the picture)

Thanksgiving

A walk Down by the Bay after dinner :)
We had to work off all that food and make room for dessert.
This was taken using the self timer on my camera a feature that doesn't get used very often ;)
