Happy New Years !!

Wishing you a Happy 2007!!!






We are spending New Year's Eve and New Years Day with friends... lots of food, booze, music, and poker.

My Life Style Changes for the New Year:

1) lose some weight
2) be debit free, don't over shop for stuff you don't need.
3) scrap, scrap, and scrap!! (use all the stuff you've collected & haven't used)
4) spend allot more time with my side of the family :)

Will see if any of these happens.....I will make it happen!! :)

Thank you for visiting my pad, I love seeing you here. HUGS!!

Christmas just a Blur

Well,Christmas has passed here in the Heredia household. Briana got many, many new toys to keep her very busy (so we hope). We had lots of food, lots of family time, and lots of fun and now we are getting back into the swing of things until the New year.

Here are few of my favorite photos.

Christmas Morning! Santa was here!!!



Hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas

I can't believe Christmas is only 3 days away, it just all seems to have gone by so fast this year. I have been a busy little elf these past few days. Since I'm not sure I will have a chance to blog this week-end, I thought I would go ahead and wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!!, I hope you enjoy your day with your family and friends.

What's your elf name?

My Birthday Present

This is what George got me for my Birthday. The new QuicKutz Revolution Tabletop Die Cutting tool along with 3 die cuts (Frames, Tag, and Libary Card) . I was so suprised. I was not expecting anything like this from him.

I just love this tool, and the case is so cool looking.
I can't wait to play with it. The best part of this new die cutting tool, is that is is compatible with all other QuicKutz dies, not that I have any.



These are the die cuts he bought.

Happy Birthday.....

to me!!!

I can not beleive I am 37 today. George says he has made plans for us, but he would not tell me what they are. All, I know is that his parents are coming this afternoon to babysit Briana. This will be the first time we leave her with someone, so I am nervous. Nervous, cause his mom and dad are up there in age and Briana is a little hurricane. So, I hope we can enjoy whatever plans he has made.

Your strength: Your original approach to thinking Your weakness: You tend to shy away from others Your power color: Pale blue Your power symbol: Wavy line Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

11 Days til .......

Christmas! I can't beleive how busy I've been, christmas shopping, decorating, house cleaning and trying to teach an almost 17 month old, not to grab, run and throw the ornaments from the tree. Just that alone is tiring. I still need to wrap the presents and ship some of them to my brother to Las Vegas. He said he wasn't coming this year to celebrate, as my Sister-in-law has to work the next morning, what a bummer. George and I were actually, thinking of being Mr and Mrs Claus and deliver their presents, will see.


Here are some pcitures of our tree. Trying to get good pictures, playing with my camera and trying different settings so my Christmas pictures come out good this year. I need to take out our tripod and try again.








Lots of ornaments,
garlands, and blinking
lights.













Our Angel tree topper.
We've got her 10 years ago. I just love her.

......Light A Candle

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting will be uniting family and friends around the globe as they light candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause. Tonight, candles will be lit at 7pm (your local time). Please join me in remembering those children and my little boy, Adrian, so their light may always shine.

Happy Birthday, Anthony!!

Anthony my oldest nephew turns 22 years old today. It seems like yesterday, he was this cute little boy I used to take care of. I wish him the very best and hope to see him in January, when he comes to visit from Germany.

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANTHONY***

KC

I received an e-mail from my next door neighbor with some sad news. They were getting ready to take a walk around the block yesterday evening around 5pm. While they were inside the garage to grab the 2 dog (KC and Baiely) leashes, the doggies were in the front lawn playing, when they were suprised by a coyote. Only one was able to get away, KC was taken away. My neighbor (Claudine) , my friend is so devastated. KC was a big part of her life and her families. I just couldn't, can't believe all this happened in front of our yards and we were not home to try and help or try to do something. I feel so sad and mad.

KC was the cutest little Maltese. Briana and I would play with her all time in the front yard, while Claudine and I would talk and work on our garden. She will be missed. :(

2 Nights in a Row

Update:

Yeah! It's been two nights in a row, that little Miss Briana, has not had any Nightmares/Night Terrors. Hopefully, they will not be anymore for a while.

Thank you everyone for the advice and your stories, I didn't think how common these Nightmares/Night Terrors were.
