For Miranda & siblings!

Where to start?? We are very blessed! Thank you Lord for watching over us and all that you do!! Benito honestly is the back bone of his family! He mentioned to me that he missed his family. I never knew how important your brothers and sisters are until I felt the emtion by Benito. He was truly sad about missing his family and mind you we are not far from them. Benito is always busy with work and being that he just started a new job he has to complete his 90 day probation period(hes on call for 90 days and can not go out of town) so we are very limited on time. I apologized to my husband because I gave him a hard time about missing his family. I was so mean about it and I cannot believe the way I treated him. Oh my goodness it makes me sad to even think of the way I reacted when he was upset about missing his family. It was until he told me " when you do not get to see Jude(my bother) for one day, you miss him." I love my brother so much and hate not being able to see him. We are very far apart in age but I love him with all my heart. I love our families, but the love anyone has for their siblings is so different. I cannot even find the words to describe it. With that being said husband, I'm so sorry and thank you so much for making realize the importance of our siblings.
Benito's birthday was Monday April 12th! He turned 26! I invited all of his family to come down last weekend. We celebrated his birthday and had so much fun! He was so happy to see all of his family and I'm so thankful everyone came. We missed his oldest sister Monica! Benito is the 2nd oldest of 5! He has 2 nieces, Ariel and Heaven. I love them. We started off Saturday with hamburgers and hot dogs fresh off the grill!! We hung out at the house for awhile and shot some skeet with the shotgun! We went to Hermleigh's grand ol' park. I remember goin to that park as a kid. It's still the same and was neat taking Benito's family there. We played some basketball and I watched Benito entertain his brothers and sister. He played duck duck goose and got on the see saw(not sure if thats how its spelt) with his neices and made us laugh. We made it home and took some time to unwind. We bought a lot of food probably to feed an army and were getting ready to Q it up!!! But then......dun dun dun my poor husband got on his dads motorcyle and had an accident with the tree:(:( We rushed him to the ER and he had to get xrays and a tetnus shot. Thank the Lord he spranged his foot and didn't break anything. I was scared to death!! I'm so glad he got out of the wreck with a spranged ankle. It was bad and I know Jesus was watching over us! After he was released from the ER we ordered pizza and tried to calm down because we were all very shooken up. God is so amazing! He continues to bless us! Although Benito was in a lot of pain he was still able to keep his promises to his neices and camped out in our backyard! He's so sweet! We slept in a big o tent! Sunday came and we made up our bbq! It was delicious!! We are so blessed and take so many things for granted! I'm thankful for everything we have and are able to do. Thank you Lord for everything!!! I love you!
I have pictures to share of Benito with his family and his injury......ewwwwwwwww
It looks a lot better now that it's starting to heal!! Benito is still unable to fully walk on it:( I feel so bad for him!! I'm just glad he's ok and nothing worse happened!
