I'm Back

So it's been about 4 months (WOW!!) since i've blogged!! Seriously it's obvious that I wasn't able to work, work @ home & blog, you have the whole routine going and for me I had to cut one thing out. Blogging was pushed out without even realizing!!..lol But what matters now is that I'm back. School's out, kids are home relaxing, sleep overs @ our house, cousins house, filling up the pool, re-filling the pool; WHEW!!..getting tired just typing it.. So I go the camera that I've always wanted. So you know that I've been carrying it like it's my fourth child!!...I LUV IT!! I've been taking quite a few (ALOT) pictures.
I'm seriously looking into going to back to school & get my degree in something that I will be happy with like "PHOTOGRAPHY". Boy do I have alot to say or what? See this is what happens when I'm gone for too long!! So for now here are some pictures that I have taken with my NEW CAMERA, hope you like them!

I can actually say this is one of my memorable moments!!.. (hers too of course...lol)
UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT.......

So again i'm being MIA from my blog!!...so much has happened, from getting my bedroom furniture as a Valentine's Day gift to Alyssa having a Daddy Daughter Dance!! I went of course but only because again no one would be able to take pictures like i would!!..lol It was a nice nite for her & her daddy, i just wished i had a dance to go with my dad. Her daddy even picked out the dress, i did her hair (which it took a while because she was complaining of how long it was taking) In the end it turned out really CUTE!! Now as far as my bedroom furniture it's really special because it's the year where we turn 10yrs of marriage in December. So we decided that this would be the year to get "our" furniture only because since the begining of our union we've had used furniture in from dining room to the kids furniture. So again this is year where we will start making our house into a "home"...

So it's been awhile since been here, i've been so caught up with life itself that i forgot how much i enjoy writing on my blog!! Anywho, ok so my job has been so CRAZY, my co-worker decides that she rather be @ home with her 5 kids. That's good that she can do that just because i was blessed to be with my kiddos until the last one started 1st grade. But @ the same time i'm gonna be left training & starting over with someone else when the school year is almost!!!...Oh well, it is what it is I always say...
What else happened that makes me so happy but @ the same time sad because my little girl Alyssa turned 7yrs this month!!..now i'm planning her 1st skating party & i'm having fun just the lil bit that i have started on. I want to celebrate each birthday for all of my children because those are times that I want all of us to cherish as each year passes by...just thinking about it, i get teary eyed...But they're happy tears....

Happy 1st Birthday Emma!!!

Ok so today is the COWBOYS vs Eagles..(notice how i didn't capitalize) their name..lol Any way well were home watching the game. Of course we're winning!!

I had a good week @ work, except that my boys were sick with ear infections. I worked today yes on a Saturday, but it was only 3 hrs. We also went to my niece's 1st bday Emma, she's our youngest in my husband's family. Of course it just reminds me of how my babies have grown. It was really nice, it was @ Chucky Cheese's so you know you can always be a kid there...wink!.. I don't come from a big family so when we get together with his family it's cool cuz there's kids everywhere (thank God it wasn't @ my house)..I took alot of pics for her because you know when you are hosting a party either you have a party where it's kinda like a buffet & you have time to do it or if your attending to your invites you forget to take this moments because your making sure everyone is having a good time. I some how managed though because when someone helps me (nice thing to do for someone) i'm very picky because i'm like "Oh i could've done it @ a diff angle"..than I go to bed thinking "I should have been taking pictures, it'll take me a while to get over it...seriously. I think i have a problem...lol...well here are some, but again not having the right camera makes a difference, this is the year though!!

To New Beginnings in 2010

So were in 2010!!!! I can actually say that 2 weeks that I was in vacation I ENJOYED IT!!!..I mean my husband & I hosted Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & New Year's Eve & survived!!..lol No seriously I loved being with my family & my husband's family...I'm being very honest only because there's been in the past that we have family gatherings & all I can say is that thank goodness we only see each other on special occasions!!!...But this time it felt really special, we made a gingerbread house on Christmas Eve & played "Guesstures"...than on Christmas we played catch up with my husband's family...

The 2 weeks that I had been off I had been thinking about what do I want to accomplish i'm not going to label it, i'm just going to put it on My Bucket List..lol & plus our friends invited us to Costa Rica so u know what that means it's sweatin time!!!...But seriously i've always been the type to start sumthing but never finishes. I choose to no longer be this way...so to "NEW BEGINNINGS"...

this is my Jacob's 1st "real" game!!!...they played agains the Dallas Cowboys & we won...7-0!!!

Today was the 1st day of school for all my 3 kids. Patrick started 7th grade, Jacob 3rd & Alyssa 1st grade. It was kinda a whirlwind this morning & i was kinda cranky bcuz in my mind i had it all planned out how this morning was going to be. & it didnt turn out that way. But than i got over it. I feel blessed though because i got to take my 2 younger kids with me. Jacob is usually my whiner but because he knew that i was going to be there he was great plus he had already met his teachers in orientation. Now Patrick is my oldest & he surely showed it today. He's so mature, i didnt have to go with him, he didnt ask me either. It had crossed my mind @ one point but the more i thought about it the more i knew i would be overdoing it. Now Alyssa also did awesome for a 1st grader!! Her teacher said she did very good aside from her talking without permission..lol (my husband says she's Claudia jr...lol)..of course you know i had to take a picture to remember another special moment...

Ok so today is my bday..i worked, but that's ok only because i feel really blessed to have a job where i can take my kids!!!..But for the most part it just felt like any other day. I'm not saying this to have pitty on me, but that's how i felt...I guess because all i wanted was my camera...I have a camera but with the camera that i would like to have, i can do so much more. I can't explain but i feel like my passion is just growing more inside me each day...Don't you worry i'll make it happen!! By the end of the year I WILL GET IT....

these pictures remind me how blessed i really am....

So today is the last day of the weekend & im getting ready to go back to work. My birthday is in a couple of days but im really not going to do anything. Really all i wanted was my camera. So for the most part im going to work & go to Jacob's practice. I really didnt plan anything for my bday only because it's around the time that we're getting ready for the kids schools. Its ok though because im going to get my camera before the year ends. In the mean time im still using the camera i have & it hasn't let me down yet. So it will do.

So here it is, Jacob's jersey!!...TaDa!!!...It would have been better if he were playing for the Dallas Cowboys but we'll settle for the Steelers..lol. Now tomorrow is there weigh-in. Whatever that means, im assuming they are going to make sure that he's in the right age group & plus his weight has to be at a certain #..But who knows..cuz i sure don't!!..lol. His 1st game is next weekend & we're so excited. My brother & his family are going & maybe my parents. So this will be a day to remember. Patrick my oldest will soon be playing sum sports but that won't start when he starts middle school. So im sure we're going to be buzzzy bees!!..well that's it for tonite..Buenas Noches...
