Lets try this again...

Ready, Set, Action!!! Take 4! Is that what we are up to? This is the last "take" in the Cardenas Family, lets hope. So many things have to be different. We have a long road ahead of us, but we are both willing to make the plunge again, whatever it takes, to make this work.

These pictures were takes at temple square during conference. Doesn't D.J. look like his daddy? Since the time D.J. was three, he has been asking us if he can go inside the temple so he can see Jesus. He thinks he lives there, which he is right, just in a different sense. There is nothing as beautiful as the innocence of children.

This is Annie chasing D.J. by one of the pools at the Temple grounds.

Not quite sure what Annie was doing, but it sure is cute!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was great this year! I went to work late so I could go to D.J.'s Halloween school parade at school in the morning. This is Annie waiting so patiently but getting a little ichy. Care bears aren't so cuddly from the inside...

D.J. strutting his stuff with his classmates.

Even I dressed up. These are the girls I work with from left to right; Amber, Me, Mollie, and Jessica. Jessica doesn't work with us anymore, but it was fun while it lasted.

Here is the Incredible Hulk (D.J.) with a Princess (Ciera, my parents foster daughter), and a Care Bear (Annie) . D.J. had the coolest costume. The eyes had lights on them and the giant gloves yelled, "You're making me angry! You won't like me when I am angry!"
Trick-or-Treating!

Cheese! Examining the goods...
