The cutest polkadot.

She's grown and changed so much during this month I've been away. I was expecting her not to want to want to come with me for the first while and that she sort of would forget who I was but as soon as I walked in the door she put her arms out to me and started walking towards me with a shocked expression in her face, after that she didn't want me to put her down for anything. What a relief!!


She's a happy little girl , eats really well, and says "no" for lots of things . It's rather cute really!

She has knew teeth coming in and still has no fear of stairs or falls.

She goes on the slide all by herself and gets into everything , I mean everything.
She loves brushing her teeth and at a year and 4months she's totally potty trained and asks when she needs to go.She gets upset if you take the clips of her hair and wants to put them back on, what a vain little thing!!

I love the way she posed , puts her chin on her shoulder and gives a little smile.


...well, I don't mind working at Mc Donals....

Happy Birthday Son

Very sober while we prayed for his new year.

Filling in the Gap

To fill in the gap for my long absence here in this little space, I offer you some pictures.
We did some traveling up north to DC and that area for about 6 weeks, stayed with some wonderful lively people, got to meet knew friends and say hi to some old ones. It was hard being away from my little sparks of life, I terribly missed my children, I don't think I want to do that again. I got a bit more confident in my driving and I practiced a bit there, of course it's easy because the roads are so wide, driving in Mexico is a whole different story, perhaps one day I'll listen to the still small voice in my head "Just do it", it's about time.

Cops in horses , truly worth a picture.

Waiting for the rain to stop.

Life has been on the rough side lately, this year has been one of the hardest ever , yet still, through it all, God is good.

Updates

I'll start blogging again soon. In the last two days I've done the unthinkable and left my kids behind, as in, in another country, that's no small thing for me and definitely a first. Having to leave my little guys behind was so difficult, after being grumpy and battling with it for the last day I was home the Lord reassured me it was gonna be ok, so thanks Mari and Migs for stepping in and being willing to keep them while we are away fund raising, and to all you dear readers please pray our trip goes well . I will update soon and put pictures up but if you are really missing them check Mari's ( that is being mommy while I'm away) blog; Triky's stuff and thoughts... there on my links on the right side.

Pain in the ...

Just cause you have pains .... doesn't mean you have to be one.

HBD Mari

Happy Birthday to a wonderful girl, Mari, the other super cool mom around and my next door neighbor.
May this year be fulfilling in every way possible and full of blessings and manifestations of His love.
Thank you for caring for my little angel with such love, I'm very thankful she has someone so sweet and beautiful to look up to. You do a great job with her, I really appreciate it , I don't think I can thank you enough... I love you... muah!!

A pretty song that someone sent me...

I hope you dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
Dance

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

Posing and all..

This was what nap time looked like a couple weeks ago for family day.

And my little doll is making faces to the camera, I believe it's her first attempt actually posing.


Benji was feeling particularly happy this day.

And that's just plain adorable...

Coconuts

The kids finally got around, last week, to opening those coconuts they got at the beach.
Here are some pictures that hadn't uploaded yet.
And there's one of Ayleen carrying around those empty buckets she loves so much. She'll be entertained for a good while just moving them from one end of the patio to the other end, or simply putting them down and lifting them up again. She's doing all these new adorable things like wave(about time), and " talking" more, she pretends she talks on the phone with her play phone and says "hola"...the cutest thing!. She absolutely adores her teacher and can just not get enough of her or her boyfriend, ha!

I like...

cream cheese with crackers...
chocolate chip cookies

and this lollipop is the first one she ever got a hold of , courtesy of dear Teresa..Teens these days!!

And here she's looking all grown up and goofy, I love her sense of humor!


And this picture was just so cute I had to put it up.

Happy Birthday

My little sister is turning 25! Felicidades Estrella!! I love you.

Continua loquita y hermosa como siempre, Mi Estrella.Te quiero un mundo.

Don't be depressed over your size!!.

That just sounds like one of those advertisement-junk mail I get all the time but seriously, when it comes to boobs, don't be depressed about your size.
Not that I consider myself an expert at it, but I've seen too many beautiful ladies lament their small chests as if they were a curse from the Gods, when they are in fact beautiful girls inside and outside. Since I've had bigger boobs and now I'm small, that's gotta give me some points or at least something to say about it. Heh!!
Here are seven things I like about having smaller breasts, laugh if you will, but here they are:

1. Guys look at your face when they talk to you instead of checking out your rack, don't get me wrong that's flattering and all, but it can get annoying.
2. Working out and exercise is so much more comfortable, nothing gets in the way.:D
3. Nobody giggles when you run.
4. It's easier to find bras that fit.
5. You look thinner overall.
6. You can wear and fit so many more shirts.
7. No one asks if they are real.

Just like so many other things in life, it's not all about size, so don't be depressed over it, just enjoy it.

The raisins

Benji . Benji. Benji.
It doesn't matter if it's been a difficult day or an extra long one when he asks me if I can please take out the raisins from his watermelon he can always make me smile.
