new years eve......

Funny how when you get older things are so on the downlow ...low key ;)

I remember a few years ago...I would plan my agenda for New Years Eve weeks even months ahead of time ...what I am gonna wear and where am I gonna go...takes me the whole day to get read...now nothing will make me happier than just staying at home with my kids and hubby . Having a quiet dinner and a glass of wine with my family is the BEST WAY to RING in the NEW YEAR!!! I wouldnt have it any other WAY

HAPPY NEW YEARS to you and yours...

XOXO FN

quote...

If it didn’t bring you JOY

just leave it behind

Let’s ring in the NEW YEAR

with GOOD things in mind

Let every bad memory

that brought heartache and pain

And let’s turn a new leaf

with the smell of new rain

Let’s forget past mistakes

making amends for this year

Sending you these greetings

to bring you HOPE and CHEER

Happy New Year!

clutter.....

With the change in seasons and the super sales that are going on, it's quite possible to not only max out my credit card but to also max out my closet space. An overflowing closet can be extremely frustrating....

These day I feel like I am spending so much time just trying to find something in my closet...for the past few months I have been putting it off ... cleaning it out and organizing it....so ...I promise myself that I am gonna tackle this HUGE TASK before the end of the year....will keep u posted on the END RESULT....

Have a GREAT WEDNESDAY everyone....is everyone finished with their Christmas shopping?? I just FINISHED today...but that is another post ;)

my family of 5

take 2

Madison had a class Christmas party today and she was dismiss early so we had some time on our hands at home (couldnt go run the streets cuz it was getting chilly and raining) so I took out my camera to snap some shots of my lil 3...it is getting more and more of a challenge trying to get at least 1 good picture...before it was Ethan that wasnt cooperating now it is Chloe...she is all over the place and want to grab everything around her and stick in her mouth..even Ethan head/hair/feet/leg...etc...Today I must have snapped about a good 25 and didnt even get 1 good picture ;(

But is was oh so fun....I think I laughed more than I snapped...

maybe next time..

Have a GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE!!

XOXO

(Evacuated from Katrina...staying in Dallas)

Looking back at these pictures ...I realized that all 3 of my lil ones do look alike....the only thing that is a little different is that Madison and Ethan had alot of hair and Chloe is bald ;)

But they all have the same SMILE

Over the years...changes in Christmas Tree

2010

2009

2008

2007

2006

Over the years my Christmas tree really do change....2007 and 2010 are my FATTEST tree..last year 2009 was the SKINNIEST tree...but one thing is always the same...EVERY YEAR it has to be a FRASIER FUR...I just absolutely LOVE the smell that it has in my house especially during this holiday season...I just LOVE the smell of fresh pine and scent of homemade cookies or pie cooking in my oven ;)

What is your favorite kind of Christmas tree and smell for the holiday??

yet another year has come and gone...

It seems like just yesterday I was still writing 2009 on my checks..etc...and now we are getting ready to welcome 2011...So much has happened in 2010...The highlight is baby #3 ;)

Of course like the upcoming of every NEW YEAR...comes much needed changes and NEW DREAMS and EXPECTATIONS ..this year I am gonna make it easy....no CRAZY DIET resolutions..no left field demands....just something that I definitely can live and follow....

I am gonna try to SIMPLIFY my LIFE..especially with 3 kids ...it's gonna be on a "AS NEEDED" basis

WHAT IS YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION??

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ABLE TO KEEP THEM?? AND FOR HOW LONG??

can I freeze moments like this??

Moments like this is far and few...I love my weekends when all my lil ones jump in bed with me and we stay there and watch tv or just lay there and goof around. Not having to jump out of bed to get ready for school and make breakfast.... I wish can I have this for the rest of my LIFE....so I gotta grab on to whatever I can right now before they are all grown up and moments like this will gone ;(

Until then.....I am gonna ENJOY every minute I can

XOXO

not so little anymore

Labor day 2010 in Houston, TX

Sukho Thai for my bday 2010

outside of Pinkberry August 2010

oh how much she has a sweet tooth (just like her mommy)

My lil gal is not so little anymore ...the thought of her growing up so fast makes my heart ache a little....my first born is a lil young lady now. Oh how much I love her and all that she has become...even though she can be a little spicy sometimes ;)

As for now I will take her anyway that I can get....

Ethan is 3...

Cars cake from Ambrosia (very disappointed)

Blowing out a cake from Bac Do Do house

Bday celebration from Zea (blowing out his bday sundae)

My lil man made the BIG 3 this past weekend....man how time flies..seems like just yesterday I brought him home from the hospital....oh how much I LOVE HIM...he is full of life and lots of character...very loving and continually asking us "do you love me" always saying "I am sorry" cuz he gets into EVERYTHING ;)

I would NOT change a thing about this lil man....

Happy 3rd BIRTHDAY my lil man ...I LOVE YOU TTM ;)

Is beginning to look alot like Christmas....

For some reason this year it feels like Christmas is just flying by....I been so busy getting the house ready...preparing for Madison school Christmas party...the hustle and bustle of getting all the presents for all my LOVE ones....the many many bday parties and Christmas parties ...still it seems like I can't keep up this year....could it be because of my 3 lil ones this year compare to other years??

This year we (my hubby and I) are gonna do things a lot different for the lil ones...we have the Elf on the Shelf and we are gonna attempt to do Santa too....therefore that means that we have to be very creative with the Christmas gifts this year.....hiding the presents from the 2 older ones will be a HUGE CHALLENGE ....I love to see their faces when they get something that they weren't expecting ;)

I am finally done with the inside and outside decoration....even though I haven't taken out all the Christmas decor but it will have to do...

Have a Happy Weekend everyone

XOXO
