Celebration #2












































His 2nd Birthday Party was held at Rocket City Fun Station in Katy. He LOVESSSSSS that place so we go there often. I knew this is where I wanted to have it. The kids, and adults, all had a great time! But most of all, he enjoyed it! He is surrounded by so many people that love him. I want him to always know how blessed he is to have so many great people in his life from his family to his friends.....which are just an extension of his family that God has put in our lives. Thank you all for making his day so special and for being so wonderful! My Astronaut had a blast!

Celebration #1










































I am part of this very cool Mom's group and so I had a few of the kids come over and play with my baby to celebrate his birthday. Then my sister and Joe came over and we sang again. I always cut a cake on their actual day followed by a party. Their birthdays are a big deal for me just like my parents would make a big deal of our birthdays. Ask my sister, at 26 she is STILL celebrating all month! LOL

Happy 2nd Birthday Antonio!!!!!!!!

My dearest baby boy, Today you turn 2 years old. It is so bittersweet for me. I have loved seeing you grow into this bubbly, energetic, loveable little boy but at the same time it tugs at my heart to see how you no longer look like a baby. You came into my life and stirred it up in a way I could have never imagined! No one knows you like I do, the sweetness you have in your heart and how you love to snuggle and give Mommy kisses over and over and over again! I love how you play so rough with your sister yet defend her at the playground! I love how you are all boy, eating dirt and touching any bug that comes your way. I love how you try and act like your Daddy! You are stubborn, strong, tough, soft, cuddly, warm, loveable, feisty and most of all a Momma’s boy! Some days I complain, it’s so hard, you act like my shadow….. but, then I have to quickly regain focus and realize you won’t be like this forever…….so I have to enjoy it!!! I have to enjoy my son wanting to be with me, looking at me like I am the light of his life! I never knew I could love you so much! I desire for your eternal happiness! These 2 years have been full of so many changes but my love for you remains constant. God bless you my gordito! I wish you a very Happy Birthday and may you have many, many, many more! Love, Mami….

New Years Eve 2008






















In the past, I remember parties of 15, 30 even 75+ people! My Mom would take us to large parties and it was a big to do! This year could NOT have been more opposite of that! It was just us, literally. And I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We miss our family back home and we had a great opportunity to be with friends at an amazing party but we chose to stay home b/c of the kids. Maybe we'll party next year =) It was quiet, but close knit. Hubby and Joey spent ALOT on fireworks- at one point I asked them if they were truly doing this for the kids or for themselves! LOL It was special. 2009 has had a rocky start but is on it's way to paving out to be a great year! I pray for health, happiness, love, prosperity, wealth and peace! xoxoxo

I love our Christmas card!




I am very happy with how it came out =) Another one to add to their Scrapbook!




Visit to Santa's Wonderland

Took a road trip to College Station, TX and loved it! What a great time we had! The lights were amazing, the evening perfect and the mood inspiring! I think we'll make it a holiday tradition =)































December Birthdays
















I have quite a few main birthdays in December (as if the Holidays aren't enough to keep me busy! LOL). My Mom is 12/9, My Dad is 12/15, My husband is 12/21 and now the newest addition to our family, my sister's boyfriend Joey, is 12/8. It wouldn't be fair to ignore them so we cut a cake for each of them on their respective date. Happy Birthday to the most important peple in my life! I love you all more than you could ever imagine!
