Christmas Day!

Christmas Day started off so crazy..We got home from my in-laws @ 10am and my family is showing up @ noon! I tried to clean as fast as I could & I was still in my PJ's! Good thing I made all the food the day I left so I didn't have to worry about that. It was the first time I made tamlaes, everyone loved them! It was great seeing my mom, brothers, sister, cousins, uncle, My best friend, & my in-laws all in one place. The only person missing was our Jo-Jo! She did call us that morning, she is doing well, she's just alittle home sick. I hope everyone has a happy new year!

Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas Eve with my in-laws. We drove all the way to Murrieta . The whole family was there. We laughed, ate, & played games. We spent the night but we had to leave early & get home. My side of the family is coming over to spend Christmas with us!

Breakfast with Santa

Sorry I've been gone so long. You would think since I'm not working I would have more time to blog! Well that's what I thought too! I'm just so busy! Well last weekend we had Breakfast with Santa with our cousins. It was fun. Karissa meet Santa, had breakfast, decorated a cookie and ornament, and Santa finished the morning with a Christmas story for the kids. It was great!

Thanks for your prayers

Our Jo Jo left for Afghanistan on Wednesday. I just want to say thank you to everyone that took the time to call her. She said she is a little nervous because she doesn't know what to except. I know in my heart she will be fine. With prayer I know Joanna will be back safe. Thank you again for all your prayers and support.

Reality Check

I think it hasn't quite hit me, (or I'm in denial) because I feel like I just took a few days off of work, and I'll be back at the store soon. Then my dear husband said " So hunny you're a stay at home mom again"! WAIT!......WHAT? I was suddenly brought back to reality, the store is closed and I will not be going back. My only job will be to take care of my family. Since my rude awaking things have been pretty good. I've been getting the kids ready for school with dr appts, shopping, and last minute trips. Of course I've been getting my schedule ready too. I've signed up for school, ( I'm very interested in graphic design I might take a stab at it) the gym, and a salsa class! I'm trying not to do to much since my main objective is to take care of my family. I'm sure my husband loves that there's dinner on the table every night now. I'm very excited to start my new journey & enjoy more time with family & friends. Thank you for all the memories!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my best friend's Birthday. So you know what that means...Disneyland!!! We took Audrey & Karissa of course. We had so much fun. It was sooo hot, but not crowed at all. Audrey had her 1st lollipop! It was a fun day. Happy Birthday Gracie!

Childhood Memory

When I was a little girl I remember my mother bringing home some pastries from a bakery in China town. I was probably about 7 years old. Well sometime last year I went to China town, my mission?... to find these pastries called "butterflies". Well my mission was completed, I found them, but since Chinatown is kinda far from me I haven't had them since. My hunny knows I've been craving these things, so he started looking up bakeries on the internet. Guess what he found?...."BUTTERFLIES". You won't believe where!!! Right around the corner from where I work!! So on Sunday we took a little drive down to Diamond Bakery to buy my beloved pastries

as soon as I took a bite I was 7 years old all over again!
