Tina Turns 5

Finally she's "5"! Tina was so excited to plan her party. We were debating to have a princess party or a hello kitty party. I'm so happy we chose hello kitty because two friends had a princess party a month later.
cake made by my friend Anita and it taste
soooo good!

December is such a cold and rainy month, we always have to plan an inside party. This year we decided to try a jump house. It was a hit with the kids!



That's the birthday party, now for the birthday tradition.
Last year we took Tina to Build A Bear. This year it became a tradition.
She was so excited to pick out a new animal. If you haven't been, you should! It's tons of fun for the kids and for whom ever attends.
They get to help stuff the animal.

Give 'em a bath. (pretend)

Don't forget to give 'em a big hug!

And take 'em home!

Whooo! Some birthday!

Christmas in February??

I know it's February but I'm just getting caught up. I decided instead of scrolling through FB (facebook) I would try to update the blog! LOL! (laugh out loud)
So this is what Christmas looked like for the fam bam!
Here's the kids at Christmas Eve opening up their "1" gift. Every year they get a new set of pjs, don't yours?! I think one year we actually forgot the pjs so the boys got to pick a gift, lucky them!



Here's Christmas morning. They actually slept in till 730am. We had to wake up Tina and Hubby.

Do you think she's happy with what Santa brought?


As soon as we're done at home we pack all the family gifts in the van and start for #1 house, Papa's house.

You should see what a mess everything is after "14" people open up gifts! You should also see what making breakfast looks like for "14" people! Man, I didn't get any photos of it either!

Now off to house #2, Oba's.

Here's Hubby and Uncle John playing barbies with Tina. So cute and funny!


All in all it was a good Christmas!

Going, Going, GONE!

So back in November I decided to cut my hair off. When I went to the hairstylist she asked if I was going to go with a bob or an A-line. I freaked out and couldn't even think of cutting off my hair. So I chose a longer version of the A-line. This is that cut.

I really liked it...for a couple of months, but my life is soooo busy I decided that I really did need to go shorter. So here ya go...

I am loving it short! So much less to deal with. Especially since I'm usually running (literally) from kids schools, exercises, and both jobs, less is better!
Oh right, two jobs! I recently picked up a 2nd job. I'm still doing my In-Home care 1-2 times a week plus I'm working for the military clothing store near by.
And like I couldn't add anything else to my life...I'm now managing and coaching Tina's softball team. AGH!
And now you know why I never blog!!
