Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!

It was a hot day here in So. California for Halloween, we had temperatures between 80-85 degrees in the daytime and went down to 50 degrees, a little chilly late at night, but bad at all. We had an awesome time this Halloween. My brother surprised us and came down from Vegas. So we all went to my Older brothers house to go to the haunted house 2 doors down and have Briana trick or treat with her cousins. What blast we had. George had rented a Bunny suit and was a hit with all the neighborhood kids and teens too! They all wanted to take pictures with him. My brother told him to stay on his property, so he can charge all these people a fee to take a picture with the bunny....LOL! He started chasing kids, dancing, shaking his pink fuzzy tail....it was hilarious, no one thought about grabbing the camcorder to get all this in film. It would be so funny to watch over and over. Then a few family friends showed up and we ordered pizza, played guitar hero, and just talked all night, I mean all night, we got home after midnight. Awesome night!!!

Here are some pictures of our night. Briana picked out her costume, Meet Miss Bat Girl!

Here is the gang ready to go get lots of candies! There is Mr. Rabbit (George) to protect them.

OK, this picture is embarrassing, but wanted to share it, cause it just cracks me up. My brothers were laughing at my big belly and my wobbling walk. I was giving them a hard time, telling them at least my belly is going to go away in a few months and they need to work on getting rid of their bellies. The rest of the family and our friends were trying to see who had the biggest belly, between us siblings. Glad to know I did not win....LOL!!

I so love my crazy family.

That's about it. Hope you have a great time tonight. {{HUGS}}

Sunday Seven 10/25/2009

1-It's still October and I can not believe the weather we are having, can you believe its still Summer here. The week-end and last week we were in the 90's and at night would go down to the mid 50's. I hope it gets a little bit cooler, just to enjoy the fall everyone is having right now.

2- Well, I did not pass the 3 hour glucose test and now I am on a strict diet and they gave me a glucose meter to check my blood sugar levels 4 times a day. So far the diet is working and my numbers are low, thank goodness. I've been real nervous and upset about this and not having George around all day, like before is not helping. He is my rock and my support. The Dr. said as long as my numbers are low, there is nothing to be worried about. I am praying everyday, that the baby is okay.

3-I can't believe Saturday will be Halloween. With the weather we are having it just does not feel like its that time. We got Brianas costume yesterday. She picked this costume and she wants to wear it with her black boots. Sounds good to me.

She is all excited to go out Trick or Treating.

4- I started to purge some more stuff that we will not need to take with us to Texas. I have bags full of Brianas clothes and toys she no longer needs, some other household items I am giving away to a friend who moved and needs a few things. I can't wait to leave to Texas and start our new adventure.

5-George got a new laptop. Yay! The one we had was old and not working good and the screen was pretty small. He got one with a 17" monitor on it, its so cool looking. I can't remember what model it is, I do remember its an HP and got it on sale. I loved it. He said it will be mine once we move to Texas and he will only need it when he goes on his business trips. Sounds good to me.

6-Speaking of Texas, we still have not found the right house. The houses over there are so different then here in California. We just looking for now, but will have to choose one in December so we can close sometime in January. I really want a single story, which are not that many out there. It will have to be at least 4 bedrooms and we are hoping to have a 3 car garage, which most homes over there do not have.

7- We are getting close to picking out our Baby Boys name. Yay! Almost, we need to agree on the middle name. Briana so far loves his first name, does not like any of the middle names we have shouted out...she is so picky. I love that she is excited to have a baby brother, hopefully she will feel the same once he is here.

That's it for now. Hope everyone is enjoying the week-end. {{HUGS}}

5. I walk a block a day, just to go get our mail.

6. Happiness is the true elixir of life!

Today, October 13th

How I hate this day. Why? You asked.

Well, today marks the death of my mother, it has been 16 years ago today. I remember it as if it was yesterday. The circumstances in which she passed could of been prevented, she had a bad heart condition, they knew she could not be upset, get her mad, so why did they? I don't know.
I just have to remember the good talks she and I would have and the times we went out to have some Pina Coladas, her favorite drink and listen to live bands. Just wish these talks were still here, cause I really do need my mom.

Fast forward to this morning......

Got a call from my OB's nurse. I did not pass the 3 hours gluclose test. Now I have to go to a special class at the hospital, where they will teach me how to each eat properly, how to count carbs and who knows what else. I am really nervous and have been in a funk all morning.
Just praying that the baby is okay and will be okay. I have about 8weeks to go. I am also experiencing some hemorrhoids, which is normal during pregnancy, but still nervous. I just hope they go away fast.

Then George had to take his car to get checked over the week-end, the check engine light came on and he took it in. Well, bad news the transmission on the Explorer is out and some other things they found wrong....of course. He called me to tell me the news.....I knew it was not good if he was calling me. It's going to cost $5,000 to get the car fixed. Argh!!! Of course this has to happen just as we paid-off the car!!! I am just glad nothing happened, when he drove to Texas, its all desert driving from here to there.


Then there is little miss B. She is so sweet and yet there are days she is so bad. I've noticed since her daddy is not home, she has gotten sassy with me. Talking back with an attitude and not listening to me when I ask her to pick up her toys that are all over the house, she doesn't leave the cat alone, loves to throw things at him.

So whats next???? The day is not over. Just hope its going to be better.

Sunday Seven

1. Was finally getting some good sleep in the morning, until it hit. A 2.9 earthquake at 8:39am woke me and Briana up, Ugh! I was sleeping so good, very rare these days that I sleep in that late. Oh well, just glad it was a small shake.

2. We are finally having some fall weather. Its not to cold nor to hot, just right. Today's high was 71 and cloudy, but the low will be about 45 tonight. Its also suppose to rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, lets see if they are right.

3. On Thursday, Briana and I went shopping. I wanted to buy me some fall shoes that I can just slip on. Its getting pretty hard to bend over and tie my shoe laces. We ended up at Kohl's and found some comfortable shoes and a great sale on baby clothes. Was not going buy any, but you can't beat 60% off of some cute baby clothes. I also bought Briana a blouse and her first Levis jeans. She did not want me to buy her anything, she kept dragging me to the baby side to buy her baby brother some clothes...Love it!!!

4. I am now 30 weeks pregnant, we are getting there. So far so good. I did have to go take the 3 hour glucose test....yuck!!! Hopefully, the results will be good. Please pray that it does.

5. Well, its been a month since George started his new VP position. So far they love him, they seen his department changes going rapidly. He has a few bad apples, but there will always be some. So far we are adjusting okay. Can't wait to do the final move, so we can all be together. Briana and I miss him a lot, just like I know he miss us too.

6. I tried to scrap something yesterday and today, but didn't. I have absolutely no scrappy mojo. None. Nada. I even went through the massive of photos that we have to see if any would do the trick, nope. none. I will keep trying, I need to get my mojo back before the baby comes and the move happens. Sigh!

7. I'm totally being lazy today watching TV, playing on the computer, playing with Briana. It's nice to just chill out. Well, that is not completely true. I did bag all of Brianas summer clothes and took out her fall/winter clothes. I did the same with my summer maternity clothes and found my fall/winter ones and placed them to wash. So really not a complete lazy day. Right?

Have a great week everyone! {{HUGS}}

Happy Birthday, Mom

Today would of been my Moms birthday. She would of turned 68 today.

There is not a day that passes that I don't think of her and wish she was here.


Today, I woke up thinking about her and remembering her. She was a good mother, I am grateful for everything she thought and showed me in life. Although, I was a stubborn girl and gave her a hard time. As an adult and a mother, I see her points now. I just wish she was here to see how much she thought me.



I miss you mom and love you so much. Happy Birthday!
