Happy Birthday Audrey :-)

Audrey's New house (excuse the hair)

My Beautiful Babies

Audrey helping us Make Tamales


Happy Birthday Mama, I love you so very much and I thank God for you everyday. You are such a sweet blessing to our family and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect girl. You're an amazing daughter and sister and you're my best little helper. I love you with all of my heart. You're my world.

and for Bubbs, I know I forgot to give you a special message on your birthday so all I wanted to tell you is that you're the best son a mother could have. You're smart, helpful, funny, loving and special in your own ways. You bring a smile to our faces each and everytime we see your cute little face. We love you papa with all of our hearts and thank God as well for blessing us with you.

Now for Naty, Naty you're the best thing that could ever happen to me. Without you I wouldn't have my 2 beautiful and perfect babies. You three bring happiness to my life and love that I am thankful for knowing. Thank you thank you thank you for the love you give us each and every day. I love you.

Wow, today was a wild and crazy day. It all started off with Audrey waking up excited about her birthday. She was sooooooo happy and wanted to open her gift right away. I had to take her mind off presents and treat her to some cocoa puffs. Then we had my post-surgery doctor appointment which wasn't too great. I was explaining to him that my pain is now on my left and its getting worse and worse. He then told me that he'd give me another ultrasound but thinks at the most I'll probably only have cysts BUT if my pain doesn't go away I'd most likely need a hysterectomy because my uterus is stuck to my stomach wall which is what is causing me so much pain. He said a lot of ladies that have had the same problem as me have loved the way they felt after having this procedure because it takes all of their pain away. He said the main thing that Naty and I have to talk about is if we want more kids. Thats a subject that we have to talk about seriously and go from there. I actually want to get at least 3 more opinions before I do anything drastic. It's really hard for me to hand over my uterus just like that (eeww, i know). I've been on an emotional roller coaster ever since my doc appt. earlier.

After the appt. I came home and got to work on the cleaning, cooking and decorating. Naty's mom was here too, helping me. We just got to work and finished really fast. I had so much junk food that it made me sick to my stomach just by looking at it. I didn't want to touch any of it, especially after getting weighed at my appt. We had enchilada casserole, rice, beans and macaroni salad for dinner plus lots of goodies. Audrey got a rose petal cottage with a baking set, dora bingo, clothes, candy land castle game, hello kitty stationary and money. Thank you all for coming.

Then around 8:00 pm the people for the posada came, they sang and prayed and we served them cookies, cake, donuts and the remaining goodies we had from the party and I made some fast hot cocoa for everyone. They also brought a nativity scene that they carried to our house.

Soon after everyone left and Naty's mom and his brother Jesse left to mexico for 2 weeks. I have a lot to clean too! I'll be doing that all day tomorrow.

Wow what a day! Now to get ready for Christmas Eve.

Can you say STRESS?

I have 1 week left of instruction then the week after is finals. I can't believe how they just pile on the homework during this time. They should have given us all that crap weeks ago not when we're trying to study, gggggrrrrrrrr. Can you tell I'm stressed? I am!

Oh the hives are finally gone, they would come out on my hands here and there and then they finally disappeared, yeah it was weird. I hope they're gone for good and never come back.

As for the kids, Bubbs was sick first and now Audrey is sick with a cold. Audrey woke up coughing really bad and choking, she scared the heck out of me. But I've been giving her medicine so she's better right now and acting her crazy self.

And Naty has been working on the house and added a gate to the side since we have weirdos parking there and fighting too! we had to call the cops on some losers that were yelling and threatening each other, they came fast too! So I guess Naty got scared since the kids window is right there facing the street and anyone can just pop their head in their window or break in for that matter, it was scary. So him and his dad built a new wooden fence and its all up but just needs the trim and moldings and another coat of paint and it'll be completely finished. Tomorrow he's knocking down another brick wall (small ones) so that he can start building the wooden doors.

Oh and I went on a major shopping spree, mostly for Audrey's B-day and the treats for the neighbors and Audrey's teachers. I also had to get two b-day gifts for Mia and Lorena, they're both turning 1! time flies

Let's see, then for thanksgiving we had a big feast, my mother in law helped me make everything since her brothers came over and my brother in laws too. We made a big turkey and stuffing, ham, macaroni salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob with veggies, fresh bread rolls, pumpkin pies and pumpkin rolls. That took all day too. The day was awesome! Oh and the best thing of all was that Miguel and Veronica asked us to be baby Miguel's Godparents!! we were so happy and gladly accepted. By 5pm I was so tired and wanted to go to bed.

Ok, I hear the kids messing around and its 9:30 I better put them to sleep or they'll be crying in the morning when I wake them up, LOL.

I've got Hives :-(

and no they're not contagious! (for those that keep asking before they walk in my house!)

it all started last tuesday when Audrey and I went for a short walk in the hot hot sun. We went out and all of a sudden I felt the hotness of the sun burn my face, since Audrey was so excited I didn't turn back. We went around a couple of blocks then she started to complain that she was going to throw up, so we headed back home. Well on the way back home my back started stinging and it felt as if I were being pocked with needles. I tried to ignore it and started to itch a little. We got home and it went away but not for long, in the evening the itching came back but I had no hives (yet!). I took benadryl and it went away. So here comes Wednesday and I had no itching till the evening again. I started itching and burning all over my back and neck but Naty said he didn't see anything that it was just red from me scratching. So I kept on scratching and didn't want to take benadryl since I was working on a paper for school, well it got so bad that I didn't have a choice and ended up taking benadryl, well this time it didn't work and all of a sudden I seen the hives appear before my eyes on my arm! It was awful, I called Naty:

ME: do you see the hives? they're all over my arm, do you see them?
NATY: where?
ME: right here in my inner arm, LOOK! (all amazed) they disappear and come back, LOOK, did you see that one?
NATY: uh no, I think you're tripping! I don't see shit
ME: Open your f-ing eyes, they're right there!!!
NATY: I just see red from you scratching
ME: DAMMIT! I know you see them, if you don't then you need some f-ing glasses
NATY: (Turns back to the TV and keeps flipping through channels)
ME: (GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

so it was already about 10:30pm by that time so I couldn't go to the urgent care it closed at 9pm and I was not going to the ER.

So then thursday comes and again, nothing all day and then night time came and BAMM!! I break out, even worse, all over my body, I take benadryl its not budging, I wait it out, nothing, call Nurse, she says, "come in now". Go to the urgent care and get a big shot of heaven. The doctor asked me a million and one questions and of course couldn't come up with anything, I didn't care anyway, I just wanted relief. So he RX-ed me some Prednisone and claratin. They make Naty sign a paper that he will drive me home at this point I wouldn't even attempt it. So I get to the car and knock out and don't remember the rest---hahahahaha!

So here comes friday, MIL comes over to help me cook a mock thanksgiving dinner, so we're going to town and what happens? my right hand swells up about 2X its regular size and starts giving me the sign that breakout is going to happen any second. So I take only 25mg of benadryl cause I'm afraid of knocking out and it surprisingly works. So then Naty brings me some bacardi mojitos and I have about two then my mom takes the kids and we decide to go to the corner resturant and sit at the bar and talk. Right when we sit down, BAMM! my hand is huge again, I didn't want to kill the moment so I try to ignore it, well that didn't last long, before you know it we were gone and home already. Well, since I had those drinks I couldn't take benadryl, I was afraid of what might happen so I suffered and paid.

Then saturday came and it seemed to bug me the whole day, sometimes calm, sometimes awful, throughout the day so I stood home in my PJ's the whole day while my mom took the kids with her to a charity thing. I tried my home remedies and nothing seem to cure them so I stuck to my 50mg benadryl every 4.5 hours and it kept it tolerable. Oh and get this! the medicine the doc RX-ed me causes weight gain, like I need that? it made me so sick so I'm not taking it anymore, it's not worth it!

Now sunday was a lot better, I only had my hand swell about four times and broke out probably twice and now today I've had my hand swell three times and broke out once so I'm hoping its fading. Hives are horrible, I hope Naty gets them so that he knows what I've been going through, LMAO!!! hahahahaahhaha JK! I don't wish that on him, but it was sure funny as hell to say to him. He thinks I meant it, hahahahahahaha (evil laugh)

Happy 7th Birthday Bubbs

Party after Party!

I had Naty's b-day dinner here at our house on the 10th of October, he is now.......27 years young. The kids and I decorated with balloons and signs and he was surprised to see the house transformed. Naty was mostly happy that his best friend finally came down and they had a few beers with his brother and work buddy.





Then on the saturday before Halloween, Arlene had a party and we went to that one too. We mostly went for the kids so we didn't dress up but everyone else was. We just drank, danced and had a good time.





Finally, Bubbs B-day was on Nov. 3rd but we celebrated it on Halloween. I had loads of food and loads of people here that wanted to share this special day with us. First we had the dinner and chatted it up (drank a lil too) then the kids went trick or treating. We had a good time.

Red Bull Bird Shit

Too funny! and FIRES

Naty and I were watching desperate Housewives (don't tell him I told you) and this funny commercial came on that made us bust up!

man on man!

The fires are going strong and getting worse. I can't believe people can be so heartless and ruin families lives and cause so much harm to everyone. Those evil people don't deserve to live, I wish we could find these people and throw them from a plane into the fire. The sky looks like hell has come over us with orange and red shooting from the sun and ashes falling everywhere you go. The air quality is bad, I can only imagine how bad it is for the people right in the giant mess. It is horrible out there, I pray they don't come over here again, that was a horrible time that I will never forget. Anyway, I pray they contain this demon fast and get everyone back into their homes soon.

Let's see, school is getting even harder now that we're half way in and all my teachers decided to plan their tests all in the same week. That means more studying and less me time, great! Well good thing our Vegas vacation is coming up so we'll be able to relax really soon. We were going to go on a cruise but they wanted to charge us about $300 more for that week of thanksgiving so we said forget it! I'd rather wait, that would be $1200 more for all of us, no thank you. We always have a good time in vegas so this time we'll go to at least 2 shows and go out of the vegas boundries to explore.

Oh and once again, I'm having christmas eve at my house, so you all are welcome to come. We still have a lot to do to get the house ready but I have faith in Naty and know he can do it! he put the front door in the day before xmas last year and was still working on it minutes before everyone showed up, we pulled that off great! Hopefully that won't be this year.

God give me Strength

I've had a wild week, first Bubbs was sick with a stomach bug then Audrey got it and she's finally better! she was sooooo sick and had a high fever. I had to miss 3 days of school cause she wouldn't be accepted back into daycare till she was fever free for 24 hours. Then today (friday) Bubbs didn't have school so they were driving me nuts! Naty worked till really late again and I was left with them fighting and crying the whole day. I had to jump in a couple of times, LOL. They're really good kids too but I don't know what happened today.

Naty got home so late and ate, played with the kids a little, took a shower and went to bed. I feel bad for him cause he's beat! He says the job is winding down now and he'll be home more often starting next wed. or thurs. We'll see! he's been saying that since the beginning of the year!

Oh forgot to mention that it was my chubby bear's b-day on the 10th! I had him a dinner and everyone came and we had a good time. He was mostly excited about his friend Frank coming cause that guy always leaves us hanging. He was so happy that he came by. I put up a big sign that said Happy B-day and bought balloons too. Then I got home cooked and cleaned, all while Audrey was sick! I'd run back and forth. My poor baby. Oh when we went to party city she wanted to barf in there cause she got scared of the halloween stuff. Poor thing, she's said, "mommy I wanna throw up cause I'm scared mommy, lets leave, please" so we walked to target while they blew up the balloons, she was scared out of her mind! But overall all the hard work was worth it cause 3 days later naty is still thanking me. I love him :-)

I also started crocheting a bit. I remember my granny teaching me when I was younger but I didn't remember so Naty took us to Michael's cause I was determined to learn again so we came across this nice lady that taught me really fast in the store. I got the beginning steps but then forgot the rest so Monica and Jose were down visiting that day so Monica taught me again. I'm now on my 3rd scarf. First I did one for myself, then one for Audrey and now this one is for Bubbs teacher. He wanted one for her so bad so I had to. He keeps checking up on me and making sure that I'm still doing it, he knows me too good!

My nephew was also born this week (10/8/07) and he weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. we still haven't met him since the kids have been sick. I don't want him getting sick cause of us so I'd rather play it safe. I'm so anxious to see him so hopefully Naty gets home early tomorrow so that we can meet him finally!

Let's see, what else?!?!? Oh I'm having a lil Halloween get together on Halloween day, its just something that I love doing. I make italian type food and order pizza and me and the kids just work on sweets the whole time till the evening comes, then they go trick or treating with everyone while I stay behind and pass out candy. Oh and last year a house down the street had a really good haunted house so we're hoping they do it again this year. It was honestly the best one I've ever been too, it was soooooooooo good! Then we'll watch some movies once everyone gets back. I wish it was a weekend cause then I could have had a real party with music and all but Arlene is having a party on the 27th so thats good enough! Actually Eddie is having his halloween party tomorrow in fresno but we're not going after all, we were gonna go with Alex to Vegas for Mayra's b-day but he ended up canceling and Naty's working now so no biggie. I hate being home alone, I get so bored, hopefully he doesn't leave me all day, wwwwaaaaahhhhh!!

anyway, its really late and I'm still up washing clothes. I better go get my beauty sleep now. see ya soon.

Hot, cold, hot, cold

what is up with this weather, I wish it would just stay cold! it was cold on friday, then a lil warm on sat. then hot today! gggggrrrrr

Yesterday we went to Naty's Unions Picnic and then to visit his cousins in south Gate, we hadn't seen them in a while so it was good to reunite, they're always so inviting and cool people. Then on the way home Bubbs got sick in the car and grossed us all out, LOL, it was horrible, something out of a horror film. But he's feeling a lot better now and acting crazy as usual.

well last weekend Naty and his dad got to put the nice wood on the porch ceiling and it came out soooooooo good! all we need to do is stain it, prob. after the stucco is done. Here's some pics.

It's Friday

(Savannah in Pic)

and Audrey and I didn't go to school cause we're coming down with something, well actually Aud has a cold and I have some type of fever......sucks!

I had the best news yesterday when Naty said he wasn't working Saturday, damn he never takes a break and it drives me nuts! I have a paper and 2 test to study for, for next week so that will be a big help. We were also invited to a quincera and someone's surprise B-day party (not saying) but not sure if we'll make it to either. If Naty took the day off then that means he wants to be productive, so he'll probably want to work on the house, who knows?!?

So I guess everyone is going to Eddie's Halloween party but Naty was wanting to go to Vegas for his B-day but I honestly don't want to go anywhere, its so hard being in school cause I have a test that following weekend and I'm already stressing it. I should just stay home.

Last weekend we went to meet Michelle's baby for the first time. That poor lil guy has been through so much in his lil life. I was glad we finally got to meet him and he's too cute, he looks like a lil man, I wanted to squeeze him, hahahahaha, poor baby, I know that he's getting way better though and thats all that matters. Carol had a dinner for all of us and it was nice to chill with family, oh and it was raining! my favorite thing ever! love rain and Pat looks like he's getting better, at one time he looked out of it then he ate and was back to his clown self. I hope he's taking care of himself.

OHH and while we were at Pat and Carol's Bubbs was at Disneyland with his nina. Man won't even go into what happened that morning........ggggggrrrrrrr, lets just say me and Naty got into it. Damn we were so mad at each other, hahahahahahaha, I wanted to pimp slap him and I know he wanted to do the same to me, but we made up about an hour later. :-)

I'm hoping I get to see Savannah (Vanessa's Baby) today, so I'm going to call her later, I know she'll be at the quince tomarrow but like I said don't know if we'll go. I miss that lil girl, shes the cutest thing! and Our lil niece Lorena too!! she's so big already! she's hilarious and laughs so easily. Oh and can't forget lil Mia, that lil chubby thing, she loved Naty last week but didn't want to come with me, I made her come with me and she kept pulling on my ear ring, ouch!!! we'll prob. see our niece today, oh and Veronica is about to pop, she's being induced on Oct. 11th so we'll have our nephew soon. I already went crazy on the shopping for him :-)

Well I better get back to this house, everything is calling me. I just need to clean up a bit then I can relax.......

Mia chillin at Balboa Beach

French Doors are In!

Naty, his dad and uncles all made this possible! It took them all day Sunday when they swore they'd be done fast but didn't know they would have to tare down some of the wall and rebuild it. They did an awesome job and its still in progess.

here's a before pic from 3 years ago, forgot to take one before they tore down the wall

Our New Window

We're still working on the house and yes its taking forever but only because we're doing it ourselves and Naty's been working a lot so this weekend was his first full weekend (plus labor day) that he has had off so he decided to put in our new window. I decided that a window would be better than the door that leads to the backyard since we have a sliding door that we use all the time and plus we're building a deck out there and I wanted a place to put the outside furniture. So we closed off the door and now we can put in cabinets and have more storage space. I found some cool cabinets at lowe's and they'll be perfect! Naty and his dad slaved in the hot sun to make me happy :-)

Before-Outside: I forgot to take a pic before the canopy went up thats why you can barely see it but you get the picture.

After: from the inside, I need to get a better pic of the outside once the paper is off the window.

Look what School did for Audrey!

Audrey learned how to use the computer in 2 short days at school. She usually plays with Bubbs but now I let her play by herself. She's already wanting to play all day long (not happening!) or use my Laptop (she's nuts!) and is loving it. She loves school a lot and even wants to go on the days that we don't have school like labor day for instance, its like she knew it was a weekday and begged me to take her to school, LOL! I guess thats a good thing.

And Bubbs is still having a ball in the after school program and would rather be there than here (don't blame him), he has friends to play with and much more energetic adults to play with too. He's making me something but still hasn't brought it home.

I'm still loving school, this is the 3rd week and I've been on top of things and have a planner that keeps me on track. I'm hoping to get straight A's but we'll see. I'm dedicating myself a lot more to school and hoping to graduate with honors. All of my teachers have been awesome so far and the people are all good looking and in shape but still immature like in the CC I went to, oh well I guess that'll never change, besides I'm immature at times too.

For Labor Day weekend we went to Balboa Beach again and again I forgot my damn camera so I'm going to hit up Arlene and Laura for pics so that i can post some. Meanwhile you can just imagine it. hehehehehe we had a bomfire at the end and it was cool. Anyway, I'm just glad this heatwave is over, it hit 112 on most days and its finally back in the 90's (which I'm loving) it beats the 100's, it was awful!

Ramblings

We all went to the beach last Sunday and had a blast! so we decided to go again. This time I'm taking my camera. The waves were crazy and kicking our asses. We had so much fun and I was glad that almost everyone could make it.

Bubbs is now in the after school program at his school and loving it. Today was his first day and he asked why did I pick him up, LOL!! he said he had a blast playing with all the other kids. I think this will help him cause he's so shy and doesn't really like talking to other people. Hopefully he'll get out of his shell.

As for Audrey she's talking more and more at school, her teachers say she's sharing a lot more with them. They had asked me if she can talk in the beginning, hell yeah she can!

I did so much today and it hit 106 degrees, I was soooooooo damn hot being out in the street running errands but I kept at it. I had so much to do and I'm doing homework now while Bubbs and Naty play video games. Oh and today is my mom's b-day so we took her out to eat with grandma.

ok, I think thats it..........my head is spinning still from earlier.

Go Titans!

I'm in! Cal State Fullerton University that is! and man oh man its been an exciting ride so far. Monday I found out I was accepted into the school so I was on the phone and internet most of the time trying to get classes and I finally got in! here's my classes.

Personal health: MWF (10-10:50)

Nutriton TTh (2:30-3:45)

Stress Management T (4-6:45)

Sociology of Gender TTh (11:30-12:45)

Audrey has also started daycare and loves it! She's painting, singing, learning new things and has new friends. I was scared that she was going to cry but she's not scared anymore and loves going.

As for Bubbs, he loves his new teacher, she's really young and looks like she can keep up with them all. He's just growing and growing and up to my nose now. He's been good at waking up too, he would cry and fight me to wake up but now he just goes with the flow!

Audrey gave us a scare

My mom picked up the kids (yesterday) to take them to a birthday party, I wanted to spend the day cleaning and mostly organizing the office since I would be starting school tomarrow (Tues). So I stood behind and got to work once they left, about an hour and a half later my mom calls me saying Audrey is acting weird, somewhat lethargic and not wanting to talk. At first I thought it was my fault cause I had given her rotted milk (by accident!) but the symptoms sound more like heatstroke or mild heatstroke at least. Well my mom rushed her home (after wetting her and giving her juice) and she seemed a lil tired, I then put a wet towel on her head and fed her ravioli, she ended up eating 3/4 of the can! she's not a big eater so thats a lot for her to eat! I also started to think maybe I didn't feed her enough in the afternoon and she could have been hungry on top of the heat. My poor baby.......here's a pic of her after watching 2 movies when she came home and finally took a nap.

More Camping Pictures

Here are more pictures I found of our camping trip

Stop MOM! Don't take any more pictures of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Our set up, I couldn't find any of Bubbs since he always hides and hates pictures, I usually have to bribe him or make him take pics. ggggrrrrrrrrr

Sorting through pictures

and I found some of when we went camping with the whole family last labor day (I think it was labor day) I was just suprised to see these since I don't remember taking pictures. We're not big on camping but I believe if you're prepared and organized you can have a good time. As of right now we're neither so we'll wait till we're a lil more situated to even think about going camping again. I remember once going with my aunt Sarah and Eddie and boy was that an experience (besides me getting in trouble for cussing like a sailor in front of the lil christian kids). I remember it being so nice and relaxing cause she was very prepared and had everything we needed. But since I didn't do my research and didn't go with everything I needed (recently), I did not like it one bit! I want my kids to experience everything so I haven't scratched the camping thing off the list quite yet. I'll give it one more chance and if its not what I hoped it would be (after being organized and prepared) then I'll give it up, LOL!

Had to be Danny to flip off the camera and kill the picture

Beach Day!

Naty has been coming home early (working only 8 hours, compared to 12!), so friday we packed it up and went to the beach. The kids were so happy and searching for their buckets but only found their easter ones which work just as good! The last time we did this was about 2 years ago that we went right when Naty got home during the week. Although we have gone to the beach but its more fun when its like, "pack it up, we're going to the beach." Since I wasn't feeling too good I sat it out and watched. I made sure to take pics this time cause the last time in San Diego we didn't take pics at the beach and I wish I did cause it was awesome! The sand had gold in it, it was so weird, something I've never seen. (next time)

More pics from Heast Castle

Here's the outside of the castle

Morro Rock, this was on the way up to the castle

More pics from Heast Castle

Here is the first outside pool at the castle, it looked so refreshing that I wanted to jump in there. The workers at the castle say they get to swim in it once a year!

Here's the indoor pool at the Heast Castle, BTW, the gold is real.

Our 5th Anniversary

Was on July 19th and we went for a day to Hearst Castle in San Simeon, we had some good quality time without the kids so it was really nice and easy. We both had never been there and it was 4 hours away! We drove and drove and drove some more till we finally got there, I didn't think it would be that far, LOL! and Naty didn't know where we were going and I think he was kind of mad that I didn't tell him how far I was planning on going, hahahahahaha! and to top it off we didn't stay overnight, he was determined to take the kids to the aquarium the next day so we got home at almost midnight, it was so worth it. We coughed it up as testing out the "new" truck. Its not brand new but new to us. So far so good, we've took it up and down the coast with no problems so far!

So then on sunday we took the kids to the aquarium in Long Beach, they liked it at first but then got restless (go figure!). Overall, it was great much needed family quality time :)

Mini Vacation to San Diego

Yes its been a while, again!

Naty has been working a lot and he decided to take us on a short mini vacation before Bubbs went back to school so we left Friday, Aug 10th and went to the zoo early that day. We stood there for a while looking at all the animals and loving the kids expressions on their faces. This is the first time for Audrey but Bubbs has been to the LA zoo with his school before. After that we went to our very small hotel room and chilled for a bit. We were right on the gaslamp district and walked to The yardhouse to eat dinner. After that we walked a little and went back to our rooms, I was burnt and hurting so we didn't walk like we wanted too. After we went to the room and Naty and Audrey knocked out fast while me, steph and Bubbs watched tv and messed on the computer. The next day we woke up, checked out, and went to the natural museum and saw all the dinosaur bones and other stuff. Then from there we went to the beach at Coronado Island and stood there till it was time to go home. It was fast but fun, it was mostly to get out and take the kids somewhere.

And Bubbs started school Monday and he's now in the 2nd grade! He's so big and growing still, the top of his head is to my mouth already, I think in about 1.5 years he'll be my height. He seems to like his new class and is really happy!

4 months later......

Sorry for the delay, I know you all are desperately waiting for updates.

Here's a run down of what we've done in 2007 so far.

Jan: Had my surgery

Feb: Was mostly recovering during this time, I don't think I left my house

March: was my 26th B-day

April: Went to San Francisco again to visit Jose and Monica.

Not much excitement except for Vanessa having her baby in March. She's so cute and funny! I had the privledge of taking care of her one day and all I did was hold her and stare at her. I couldn't get over how beautiful and perfect she is.

I also have been seeing my niece Lorena more often, now that girl is funny! she's only 4 months and jumps like a lil bunny. She likes to jump and doesn't stop! We took the kids to go take pics for Mother's day and Audrey didn't want to take a pic so I was so mad! So only Bubbs and Lorena came out in them. This is a pic of Lorena like a month ago.

Oh, and our house has been under construction since Dec. mostly. Naty and his dad have changed most of our house, it looks totally different. Thats it for now, see ya.

Happy 2007!

I'm happy to have survived 2006 now lets see whats in store for my 2007. I'll be going into surgery on the 19th this month and hoping to end my pain that I've had for 2 years. They say the mass is now 8 cms and they're not sure if its on my ovary or my uterus so I'll be going under the knife and getting this beast out of me. In a way I'm scared just having surgery but then I'm happy that it'll finally be over, a bittersweet moment.

Speaking of bittersweet my Aud-bug turned 3 on the 20th of Dec. and it tore me to pieces. I couldn't believe that my lil baby is already 3, how the time flies. I had a lil dinner for her and she got a lot of presents (more junk for their lil room). Then on Christmas I had the family over for dinner and we just ate and ate some more. Now on New Years I only had my mom and Carlos over and we got messed up. I threw up my guts and passed out. It was awful! I swore I'll never do that again but we'll see.

We also got a new dog named Boris, he's a brat and I want to smack him a couple of times but we love him. He's got these big feet and big ears, he's such a brat!

2006 flew by and I'm just ready to give it my all and regain my strength to get out there and face the world pain free. This is going to be my year!!!!!!
