I will be back soon. Going to re-start blogging and scapping again this summer.

Miss all of you. <3

Happy 2012

One of my New Years resolution is to get back to what I enjoyed the most. I have miss scrapbooking and blogging, this was my escape from stress, its my therapy. So I am back starting today. Today I will be putting together my Project Life album and finish my 2011 Daily December album. I will be getting back to my favorite Scrapbook forums and catch up with my friends. 

New Year-New Beginnings. <3

What a Week-end.

Been an interesting week-end. There have been two major world-wide current events:
One being a Royal wedding, and the other the death of the world's most-wanted terrorist.
Both of these events  are ones we will always remember where we were, when we watched,
and what we were doing.

The Royal Wedding:

The marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton (Catherine) was so beautiful, so happy I got to watch it. I remember watching the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana (Willams parents) in 1981.  Both weddings were so beautiful, so fairytale like.

 World's Most-Wanted Terrorist: Osama Bin Laden

Osama bin Laden has been killed, President Obama said Sunday night on a live statement from the White House. Ending a nearly 10-year manhunt, the criminal mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that left 3,000 people dead on U.S. soil is finally dead!

Both events very different, but both gave us strong emotions.

2011 Project Life

Here is what I've been working on, my Becky Higgins project life album. I decided to start doing the album this year. I am really enjoying working on the album, even though I've been behind in putting it together. Four months into it, I have not missed taking the Picture of the Day. I am so doing this again next year.

Wordless Wednesday

Tattoo I want to get one of these days, when I have the courage.

I will be back soon!!

Hello everyone!!! Yes, I am still alive. Sorry been missing these past few months. Life has been very hectic since the move to our new state Texas and having a Kindergartner and a Toddler now keeps me busy and active. I will be blogging and scrapping again, I really miss it and it does keep me sane and keeps me stress free, which I so need it. I have been working on Becky Higgins Project Life album, even though I am behind in putting it together I have not missed taking a single photo everyday. Thanks for stopping by and understanding. Now to start all over on this blogging and scrapping. See you soon.

Where did November Go!!

Oh gosh can not believe its December already, where did November go. Well lets see....we've all been sick most of the month of November. First it was Briana with the stomach flu, then Christopher, then me and George. We all went down. As we were getting better, we were all doing good for a week and then bam...there we go more sickies in the house. Christoper had fever and ear infection and then Briana a day later with a blister ear infection, can you believe she had a blister on her ear drum, never heard of such a thing. Then you guessed it, Mommy got a bad sinus infection that had me down from 2 days. I started feeling almost human again after a few days. Thanksgiving was not what we had planned since George also got sick. We stayed home and had a small meal together and watched movies. It was kind of nice for a change, just bad that we were all sick.

Hope December is a much better month for us.

Happy Halloween!!

Have a Happy Halloween!! This is our first Halloween here in Texas, we are so excited.

September!!

Wow, I can not believe its September. Time has flown by for me, so many things has changed for us this year that its just crazy. Here is just a few things that has kept us busy since the move to Texas.

First, there is that crazy move. Lucky it was smooth, truck came in time, only a few things broken and some furniture scratched these were expected. Lots and lots of boxes to unpack and organize the things with the 2 kids is just crazy. 7 months and we still have boxes to unpack.

The house, I love and hate right now. George did good in picking out the neighborhood and the house, love the floor plan. We have had a few issues with the house and dealing with the builder to fix them is just been awful, always e-mailing them and on the phone with them just to get things done. Luckily, the issues are not really major but they are problems. The 2 major issues we are fighting with them is the side of the house drainage, there isn't any and it gets flooded really bad and the media room. Media room has no a/c vents at all. George somehow missed this in the walk thru. But come on...no vents in a media room.... Ugh!!!

We've had the in-laws come visit us in the beginning of May, that was real nice and sometimes not so nice. They were a handful to say the least. I am just glad Briana had blast with them. I know she misses them. Just sorry we couldn't really show them around as I had no idea where to go and what to do as we have not been able to explore our surroundings. I did not have a car for 3 months and George not able to get time off work, it was a little boring for them. Oh well.

In March, my nephew (Brandon, lived in Dallas) ended up living with us, after breaking up with his girlfriend. Long story. Its good and bad having him here. I love that he helps me with the kids (sometimes) and bad cause, he is not motivated to do anything. He is looking for work and so far nothing has sticked. I have no idea what his goals are, seems at 21 years old he would have more motivation to do something. I have no idea what he plans on doing. Can't/won't maintain him. I just hate having people live with us, I feel uncomfortable in my own house.

Briana loves Texas. She has missed California, she keeps asking to go to the beach and go see her cousins. This kills me, I also miss the beach and seeing family gatherings, parties being held on facebook just makes it worse. But we are hanging in there. We have made some great friends with our neighbors and some of George co-workers have been awesome. She just started Kindergarten and doing great. She has made friends and I love seeing her so happy when I pick her up.

Christopher is going to be 9 months!! Can you believe it. He is keeping me really busy. He is a handful. I see the difference between him and Briana already. Its so true what they say, having a boy is so different. He is already climbing out of his playpen, exersaucer, and trying to get out of the crib. He crawls up the stairs like a lighting bolt, especially when he sees me going after him. That little booger. Love him.

Lets see what else, George is doing good a work, he will be there a year already in a couple of weeks. He has been dealing with some health issues for a few months now and they finally figured out that he has to remove his gallbladder, well they have to find it first, yup that is right. The ultrasound they did could not find it, so we are waiting for the results on the MRI to see where its at.

I am sure there is a lot I have missed covering. I've been a ball of nerves since all the changes. I am hanging in there and being strong for the kids. I really miss my friends and family back home. I have not really scrapped for a long time. I hope this will change now that some things have settled and having Briana in school now frees me up a little bit.

Well, that about it for now. Thanks for stopping by. XOXOO

Already 2 Months!

I can not believe my baby boy is already two months old. Time is sure flying by.

He is eating a lot and sleeping pretty good, well some days. He is staying up more often especially in the mornings. Today he was up for almost 2 hours. He loves it when Briana talks and sings to him. He hates the pacifier, but loves sucking on his little fingers.

Love you my little boy!

Our New Home

Woohoo! Today we are officially homeowners in the great big ole state of Texas. I can not believe we closed escrow in a week!!! So unbelievable, especially these days where lenders are putting so much demand and asking for the impossible.

George found this house a week ago when the other house was a no go. It is a new built house, 2010, 3466 square feet, 4 bed rooms, 3 1/2 bath, a Media, Study and Gameroom. I can't wait for us to arrive in Texas and start the new chapter of our lives.

Monday Daybook for January 18, 2010

I am going to start following The Simple Woman's Daybook. I just love this idea. I've seen it before on a few blogs that I follow and thought I would join in.

Outside my window...it's dark and pouring rain, temperature of 57 degrees.

I am thinking...that I'm really tired from being up at 5am today and will soon be heading to bed. I hope.

I am thankful...for my two little ones. Love them to pieces.

I am wearing...the usual; jeans, t-shirt,my fuzzy slippers.

I am remembering...how much I hate packing and moving.

I am going...to scrapbook this weekend if not before, at least before I pack all my scrap stuff. I mean it!

I am currently reading... Nothing, no time with the baby, toddler, and packing. I do have some magazines (People, Scrapbook Etc., and Redbook) that I glance over, before falling asleep.

I am hoping...that we move to Texas soon. I hate not having George around all week.

On my mind...excited and nervous about our move out to Texas and the home purchase.

Noticing that...I've been skipping way to many meals. Really need to at least eat one good meal a day.

Pondering...what I want to do with my scrap room that I will have in Texas. Need to search for a desk and shelves for all my stuff.

From the kitchen...Picadillo with white rice. Brianas favorite meal.

Around the house... Lots of toys on the family room floor and table.

One of my favorite things...my fuzzy slippers. They're so warm!

From my picture journal...is at the top because I think pictures look better at the beginning of the blog. ....this is how my living room looks like right now. Toys....Toys...Toys.

Thanks for stopping by. {{HUGS}}

Argh!!!

Yesterday, they did the home inspection on the house and today we received said report. Well, it did not go well. The house has all kinds of problems and the owner is not going to fix any of them, he had changed the contract to say we are to buy the house as is. Good thing we have 10 days to back out of the deal. The bad part is that we have to start over and search for the right house and of course we are out of the $450.00 for the home inspection and another $100.00 the goes to the freaking owner for us backing out of the contract, gotta love this Texas law. Wonder if he knew about the issues this house had. Argh, this is so frustrating and so stressful. I want all of us to be together again and this is just pushing things back.

George is going to search this week-end for another house, so hopefully he finds something we both will like. So please pray for us. I am so stressed about all of this, its just taking a lot of me right now. I don't sleep or eat well and dealing with the baby and a 4 year old by myself is not helping much either.

Praying this week-end will be a good one.
