Please pray


This weekend we are taking our Mesa High students so winter camp to the beautiful Lost Canyon. I am so excited to see what the Lord has for us this year and what He is doing in the lives of our students. As of right now we are only taking 10 kids to camp. I wish we could take more but due to fiances that is pretty much all we can take. If you want to help please contact me. It cost $100 to send one student to camp.


This is my first year going as a mommy so it will not be easy leaving my wee one behind. I love her too much! but I have to remember the reason for being there. Regardless I know we are going to have a blast and enjoy the 50 degree weather YEY. So excited to be back in the game. I will post a blog about our trip.

Mornings at the Amaro's


My favorite part of the day is the morning. Not only do I get to wake up next to my wonderful husband but I also have a 15 month old calling me to go get her. After our morning kiss one of us goes and gets Olivia then we enjoy a little family snuggle time (oh my favorite). Then I get up and make us breakfast and of course Olivia is right behind me trying to "help". Chris' favorite breakfast is a ham and cheese quiche so yummy, easy and fast to make. I try to make it for him at least once a month.

Most times after breakfast we do a devotional together or separate that is concluded with prayer time. Sometimes after bk we enjoy a good massage by our good licenced massage therapy friend Dan Z. Those are my favorite days. Bunch of smiles.




Our morning is concluded when mommy starts her daily chores and gets ready for a fun day!

Fun night!

Oh our Halloween night was so much fun. I enjoyed watching Olivia have fun walking and eating her candy. We went to my friend Adriana's neighborhood and trick-or treated with them. Thanks girl. Olivia understood what was going on pretty fast and her eyes lit every time we came to a house. Since she walks sooooooooooooo slow we did have to carry her, my sister did most of the work bless her heart. She ate candy the whole time we were out the from the very first house we went to till the very last one. So by the end not only was she hyper but also sooooooooooooo dirty. My little princess.




After that we went to Chipotle because every year they give free food(what ever you want except for drinks and chips)to whoever was dressed like a burrito in foil. We can't pass up on that because we loooooooooooooooooove Chopotle! We all ordered our food and enjoyed a delicious free dinner.



Last part of day was so funny because our dear Olive was on a sugar high. She was laughing, dancing, and talking. I have never seeing her so hyper and she got to stay up an hour later. We loved every minute of that hour!

Now we have 360 days to think about next year and maybe by then we will have too little ones to dress up!
