I'm the MAMA....

So I love the name "Mommy" Oh, to hear them words, the sweetest sound, could there be anything better?? Yeah, I could be called Mama. That's what my Vae bear calls me..Oh how sweet it sounds..Mama, talk about melting my heart! I always wanted to be a Mama and I am one <3

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I am not a big fan of the winter..HATE the cold..I would love to hibernate in my very warm, but very decorated home...Cause while I loathe Winter...I LOVE the holidays...I have to say my favorite holidays have always been Easter and Thanksgiving...But since having children, there is nothing better then decorating a house with the Joy of Christmas..




This year I am happy with how it looks..Since living in this apartment, I have had my tree in a few different spots, this year it's back to the first spot I had it in..

It looks really cheerful in here..

Usually the tree goes up Thanksgiving day..(exception this year, Ava's birthday)...So we were little late this year..but we had a nice time we played Christmas music, while we put up the tree..The kids helped put the ornaments up..





We tried getting good pictures for the Christmas cards..Gosh it's really hard getting 5 kids to all look, not close there eyes, give each other bunny ears, OR make the peace sign in the picture....AVA!!!!


NOW ALL WE NEED IS CHRISTMAS!!

Falling in love with FALL...

My favorite time of the year! I love the way outside looks this time of year, the trees look so beautiful and not to mention the holidays..I am just in LOVE with FALL..


So we of course took lots of Pictures.. But the funny part is that, we didn't only take them in OUR leaves..I pulled over on the way to the doctor and took Zoey and Nevaeh out to take pictures in the most beautiful orange/yellow leaves EVER! YES,we were trespassing, and NO, I did not care...It was beautiful, only wish I would have had the canon, had to take them on my phone, so not the best pictures but it was super fun!



The kids look forward to fall pictures, so they kept asking me, "Are we gonna take fall pictures this weekend?" I kept telling them to wait for more leaves.. Finally I said the leaves aren't falling fast enough..So we brought the leaves to us..YES, I trespassed again..and this time, I committed another crime...."Leave thief".. that's right, I went and stole a huge bag of leaves from someone else's house...We actually took our Halloween pictures right in front of this house..(we thought that it was empty) when we went back the day to snatch some, we noticed, It was NOT...OOOPs...lol! Hey, I look at it as a favor, who likes raking leaves..besides ME...LOL!

Through the years of Fall pictures...Fun to see how they grown..

Vae Bear's 2nd Birthday....

My "BABY" is turning 2..I'll tell you it sure is more Bitter then sweet!I mean lets face it She is my last child, my last "BABY"..Never to rock another baby in my arms, never to nurse another baby, or listen to them breathe while they sleep.. Doesn't seem fair! There should be like a law that the last baby HAS to get older SLOWER! Okay so I am being dramatic but just can't believe that My Vae is 2..I know she is only 2 so it's not so bad and she does still let me rock her, but for how long? I don't want to lose that "Need" my mommy feeling!! Okay enough with the whining, Laur!

So this beautiful little girl, with spunk and a attitude, but yet so loving and gentle the best of both of my girls put into one and some of the worse too..lol! What a blast these 2 years have been, she has added so much to our family..It's funny how before someone is there you didn't feel like you needed them or were missing anything, but then when they are there, you don't know how you lived without them! That's how I feel about my Vae bear! Love her so much!

She is a cuddler and loves to watch movies, not so much cartoons but she will sit through a whole movie glued to the screen..Big girl movies at that, she was about 7-9 months when she LOVED watching the grinch, now she doesn't like it so much..go figure! Her favorite movie right now is Princess and the frog..She loves mac and cheese and hot dogs..She says some words, and a few sentences like "I get it" or
"I want that" there not clear but I know that is exactly what she is saying..Her Stop sure is clear..lol She sure is a spunky little thing, she has these brows on her that tell you when she is upset! She puts her face and goes to a corner until we give in or she feels like coming out!So stubborn!


We didn't do big party's this year for Ava and Vae...too much right around the holidays so they both had nice little get togethers with a cake and family! Daddy bought the kids Burger king happy meals and he brought BK crowns, gosh you loved that.Wore it in all the pictures..lol It was a nice birthday, Abuelo and Carmen came to spend it with us and we had a nice dinner, I made turkey cause I still had one and since we all love Thanksgiving, we had ourselves another turkey day! It was a awesome day...Happy Birthday to my beautiful 2 year old..**TEAR**


Ava trying to help blow out the candles...lol

Ava's Turkey Day Birthday...

My baby girl, my first born turned 7 today??????? Where is the time going? It's hard to believe that 7 years ago I brought my baby girl home from the hospital ON Turkey day and this year's gobble gobble day we are celebrating her 7th birthday!!


She was so excited that her birthday was falling on Thanksgiving day, she was excited to eat turkey AND cake..LOL!

What a Girlie girl she is, I got her this dress and she loved it..How grown up she is starting to look, can't believe how fast she is growing!











So this is the cake and that is supposed to be a #7...Hmmm there was some debate, some were saying that it was a #1...It might be..OOOOPSS!













We were gonna spend the day at my Mother in laws house.. I usually cook every year, but this year I wasn't in the cooking spirit...So we went over there..Now mind you, my family always ate Thanksgiving dinner early in the day..Well we go over there around 4ish and nothing is done...We were starving.. I wanted to save my appetite and calories for there..<~~ dieting! Well Luis was like "Lets go" Ummm okay where are we gonna eat on Thanksgiving, everything is closed..he was so sure that McDonald's was open.. Well we start driving around and sure enough everything is closed!

We finally went to a open grocery store and bought bread and bologna...Happy Bologna Day...!!




The day turned out really good though...Good food and family..We had a cake and sang to my beautiful 7 year old...Love you baby girl! What a special little girl you are Ava, for years I never thought I was gonna be a "mommy" and you came into my life and changed that..Thanks for giving me the best name I have ever been called..."Mommy" and couldn't ask for a sweeter, gentler, loving little girl..you make my life complete..

P.S now can you slow down...LOL!

Trick or Treat "2010"

Halloween is super fun for the kids..It's also my real fathers birthday..So I think of him a lot on Halloween! Wish I would have got to know him more..

But back to the candy!! Costumes to me are a HUGE waste of money and now a days there SO expensive..But this year I got lucky. I won a gift card from JM and it took forever for me to get it, so it came just in time to get the girls costumes..

I got creative this year..Leave it to my girls and they will always be PRINCESSES...lol!

So I changed it up a bit Angel/Devil...

Ava was a Angel..which for the post part she IS..oh she has her days, don't get me wrong.. but what a caring/gentle little girl she is..

Zoey was the devil..which SHE is! She can be sweet but when she is mad..Oh watch out! She has a temper on her boy!

Nevaeh was...WELL a half angel; half devil..=)Which she is..You can actually see a little of both girls in her..Sweetness and the BAD...





So there costumes were super cute and fitting..lol I ordered them from Amazon and didn't have to put a penny in..Worked out good!

Halloween day..we had planned to go to the pumpkin patch again but we decided to stay close by..Beba and A.J came out with us...He was the cutest darn brobee ever..


We found the prettiest looking spot with a whole bunch of leaves, we started out on the big sidewalk filled with leaves but then ended up in the front yard of a empty house..Forgive us for we trespassed, but it was for a good cause..Needed great pictures!











We were impatient to start trick or treating..so we went and visited the haunted house first..Then started the candy getting part, have to say this year was super slow, lots of streets were dark..Not too many giving out candy..


It was really super hard with two little ones, strollers taking them in and out..Or carrying them...Beba and I were complaining and talking about what a Pain in the ass it was...So for next year we came up with a master plan (dream) that we would throw a Halloween party with LOTS of candy and hand it out from MY own home..<~~dream part! but if not I am sure we will forget the hassle and DO IT ALL AGAIN next year...LOL!
