Pizza Night at the Pereas

I have to explain about The Packs and The Pereas, You see, well over a decade ago, Tim and i bought a house in Magna, Newly weds, and some of the first people we met on that side of the valley were the Pereas, The Pereas back then were very different than they are now, (I know the boys last name isnt Perea, but i just like the sound of the Packs and Pereas LOL)... You see back then Adam was a boy about Johnathons Age, and Frankie (Who somehow i left without getting a picture of.... i will get it next time i promise) was a teenager, Tracey was already married and having children, and Betty quickly took the role of being my role model.... So last night we went out to her home for dinner..... Unfortunately heather had to work, and Tim chose to stay home and relax, as you will see below we get a little bit crazy when the two familys combine, Tracy was at her own home with Most of her children (accept erika) ........ The party consisted of the following guests.... (Insert Drum Roll here)

<~~~ Meet Erika, Bettys Granddaughter, and personal center of her own universe, and a major peice of the rest of our universes. She posed so nicely for this shot. LOVE YOU ERIKA! <~~~~ This is Adam, He was a kid when i met him, Look at him now... He is a man! (Young man)... We love adam! He is quiet, Kind, Handsome, and just an all around good guy, he is Bettys youngest, her baby. He will do great things in life... A Picture of Frankie will be inserted here and soon as i get one! how did i leave without getting frankie??? <~~~ This is my KalieBugg, She isnt a perea, she is a family friend however, and we love her dearly.... Kalie comes to us courtesy of colorado, and hopefully we get to keep her! Soon there will be more of her to love! She is having a baby! <~~~ This is our Betty, Many people who spend time with me hear me talk about betty, You see, she is my hero- And i am not too sure if i can explain why, you would have to meet her to understand, but every one who does meet her feels exactly the same way, Have you ever met someone that their inner goodness just shines so brightly that it is contagious? Someone who has less than most as far as material belongings, but more than anyone i have ever met in emotional belongings... those belongings being relationships..... to know her is to love her, and LOVE her we do! Yes those are her tinfoil antennas on her forehead, i talked her into putting them on for the picture... Im not explaining them, if you know betty, you know why she needs them LOL and im going to make myself a set just as soon as i am done typing here.! <~~~ This is Betty and Baby Sarah (you can see from the picture she isnt a baby anymore, but when she was a baby, we had alot of Sarahs in our life, and she was dubbed such, we dont call her baby in front of her, but when we talk about her in our own house, she is still baby sarah) She is Frankies daughter, and SO BEAUTIFUL! she absolutely adores Johnathon, and ofcourse our Johnathon returns the affection. She is bubbly and bright, and with any luck will get alot of her grandmothers wisdom from her...

<~~~ Here are the kids... Johnathon and Sarah--- Cute as could be! They play so well together. Look at her face! I think she has a crush on him!!! It was a great saturday night, there was alot of food, the company was excellent, there was tons of laughter and hugging, and quite a few tears.... I think i even cursed several times.... LOL I just wanted to share a part of my life here online... because it is such a big part!!
