Another year has gone by....




Here it is, 2012!!! January 2, 2012 exactly one year to the day that I blogged here...wow!
That is a whole 365 days away from this blog and funny how I got the thought to blog today, of all days...this time I want to stay with the blog, so when another year rolls around, God Willing. I can really have a lot of great posts to look back on.
We'll see how I do, what I do, where we go, what we learn....
Let me review this past year of 2011 and all the fun we had and the moments we celebrated and will always remember....-
The kids had some sweet icy cold lemonade stands to help raise money for cancer research!!! So proud of them, for working it out on some hot summer days for such an important cause close to all of our hearts.
It took me four months, not because I didn't love this book, I really did Love this book but because I am such a sloooow reader and the only time I can get some reading time is, right before bedtime, so my eyes grow sleepy really fast and that leaves me with reading only 4 to 5 pages a night, but i really didn't want this book to end. Loved it and loved the movie version too!


Our Mya girl turned 2 years old, on Sept. 5th, 2011, yes she did, our baby girl who we adopted on Dec. 5th, 2009!! She had her cousins, Frankie and Ari over and they had some fabulous ice cream doggie treats and played in Gigi's backyard, what a great day!
Happy 2nd Birthday, Mya girl!!!
My Bella started Kindergarten!!! Max began 2nd grade!!! And Jordan started middle school, 6th grader!!! Watch out now!!
We had an awesome Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas and we are so blessed and truly grateful for all the special times we shared in 2011!!!
And look forward to many more in 2012 XOXOXOXO
Check Bella with her crossed eyes, she loves to do that for pictures, just like I did when I was a little girl, she is so me, it's scary how much she reminds me of me!

wow:
i haven't blogged in quite a long time.
mya is now 5 and a half months old and near 30 pounds.
When she arrived home at 12 weeks, she was just 12 pounds.
She is absolutely gorgeous and funny and just makes it worth getting up and living everyday.
school vacation:
blah, blah, blah,
sorry to put it like that but i just don't enjoy winter school vacations,
what can you really do,
especially with little money.
so 3 crazy kids, a crazy dog and a crazy mother
all in 1 little crazy house,
it's more then crazy!
thinking:
about getting highlights,
i want Sarah Palin's highlights but i want Michelle Obama's arms and brain, now she's a smart classy lady!
thighs:
yep, they are still rubbing together, probably more then ever
i have given up the diets and just accepted this is me at 33 and
i love to eat and i will never be able to give up the good stuff so it's chunky thighs and lots of delicious food, that's the price i must pay.
Bisuteki!
tonight can't wait, for my friends birthday party!!!
Now:
pack the kids in the car and off to Target we go, our home away from home.
on the Target list: dental floss, wife-beater tshirts for big daddy size XL and
a cute little gift box for Renee's bday present and i am sure 3 little treats for 3 little monkeys will try to be negotiated.
So here we go....
