Take Time

before i took this picture this morning i actually stopped what i was doing to look at this flower. i saw this beautiful rose. i closed my eyes and took a deep breath to smell it. 

i actually stopped what i was doing, thats unusual for me, lol. 

seeing this flower just reminded me of that old saying, take time to stop and smell the flowers, its so true. 

Enjoy :O)

oh my gosh! can you even stand it, 7 weeks and they are done, we HAVE A POOL. we are so excited. the kids are loving it. we had some friends over to play a couple days ago, i mentioned, hey you guys might want to bring you bathing suit, the pool finished filling up yesterday. and within a hour someone asked (probably isabella) can we swim and our pool guy said, sure. that was all that needed to be said and they were changed and out swimming within minutes. what a great day it was. so much fun. isabella came up to me and said this is the best day of my life. as well as it should be, 6 years old with good friends over, water, the sun and lots of fun.

Thank You

Last night was our concert at Vacation Bible School and boy did we rock out. It was a great night that got even greater when the Biagi Family came out to say hello. Rob Biagi looks fragile as he said his bones are achy due to the medication he is on. Kathleen his wife was there along with his son Matthew and daughter Natalie. Juli was with grandma and grandpa on vacation. Natalie was as cute as ever. Someone had given her a hat, she looked darling. What a great family, what a honor it is for me to raise money for such an awesome family. We have orders coming in for the "Never Stop Praying" necklace, thank you so much. As I am writing this right now my youngest daughter is singing "Rob Biagi, I love you, you love me. Jesus I love you, you love me." She is making up her own song, pretty cute. 

Thank you again to those of you who have ordered the "Never Stop Praying" necklace. I am so excited.

Never Stop Praying

This necklace was created for the Rob Biagi family. A children's worship  team, family from Irvine, Ca. This family of 5, Rob (Dad), Kathleen (Mom), Matt 17, Juli 10 and Natalie 3 is an amazing family with an amazing story. 

We were introduced to the family at my daughters Vacation Bible School last year in Cypress, Ca. The first time I saw 500 + kids sing and dance to his music brought tears to my eyes. It was amazing. 

Natalie, their youngest daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia 9 months ago. This year we were expecting Rob Biagi and his family again to lead worship. But on the first day they made an announcement that he was not able to attend this year. We quickly assumed it was because of Natalie and hoped everything was OK. Well, Natalie wasn't the reason he was unable to attend it was because of him, Rob. A week prior to our VBS, he was diagnosed with Leukemia as well. You can read more on this wonderful family at, www.robbiagi.com or at their daughters website, www.nataliebiagi.com

You can purchase this necklace on my web site, sosobella.com. $10.00 of every necklace sold will go to the Biagi Family. I look forward to helping this family and making hundreds of necklaces for you. 

Thank you in advance for your support.

Pool Progress

well, first we were going to add on, then we weren't. we decided to wait a little bit and then add on at a later time. welp, that all when out the window when we decided to get a pool. we really enjoy our home, and like being here and since the girls are so young we thought why not, lets go for it. and we did. we, (i) went with my gut feeling on the pool guy and it couldn't have been a better choice. they are here almost everyday. when they say they will be here at 7:30am they are here at 7:15am. they are wonderful. so here is the progress so far. its been a little over 2 weeks. 

Happy 4th

We had a great day and hope you did too :O)
