Introducing the Young Family

I have always wanted to be a writer and I am a scrapbook fanatic so I decided I would start a blog. That's one way to force myself to write every day. One day before I die I plan to write a novel. Until then this blog will have to do. Nothing much is going on in my life right now. Just work and taking Aaliyah to school and to the mall and over to a friends house. You get the picture. I am Aaliyah's official chauffer. Okay since going to school to be a court reporter my spelling also stinks. Anyway just wanted to say hello and let you know what is going on in my life right now. Take care and God Bless! Mama Young

We are Family Christmas 2010

I was so thankful that my mother was able to be here to celebrate Christmas with us this year. Even though she can be demanding and rude at times I was glad she was here. I don't know maybe all Mom's boss their grown kids around and forget to say please and thank you. I pray I don't treat my kids that way. Lol! Anyway Christmas is a joyous time for us because it is also Kristina's and Aaliyah's birthday. Aaliyah's birthday is on the 24th and Kristina's is the 26th. One day I will have to share how that happened. The Denver chapter of Jack and Jill Beautillion is also in December as well as many other events and activities that we participate in. My husband loved Christmas and it is at this time of year that his presence is missed greatly. He always made sure that everyone got what they wanted for Christmas and that the girl's did not feel cheated because their birthday's were right around Christmas. We always celebrated their birthday's and they always got their gifts wrapped in birthday paper not Christmas paper. There was always a birthday cake and sometimes a birthday party. Christmas was always a fun time for us. I have tried to continue that tradition in his honor and I hope my children think we had a wonderful celebration this year. For me it is all about love and all about my family. I love them dearly and am so happy to be their Mom, daughter, sister, and friend. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a happy and blessed New Year. This is the year of double portion. I'm getting mine and I pray you get yours too!
