The Celebration

Like I promised, here are some pics from my birthday. We actually celebrated it earlier during the weekends. We went out to eat several times but the place I love most is my fave Chinese buffet place. Our server seated us in a nice booth so I was able to take quite a few photos of my favorite foods. Then, we had cake when we got home in the evening.

One of the things I love to do on my birthday is going to a nice place where I can take lots of photos, lol! If you remember last year, we went to the beach. This year, I chose the small park nearby which has a gorgeous view of a pond. It looks muddy though but I still love it there. AJ & Aiden got to ride their new bike too. These are my favorite photos from that day.

this is a stolen shot and my most favorite pic

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to send their birthday greetings for me over at Friendster, here on my blog, on yahoo as well as those who emailed and left messages on friendster. I appreciate them all guys (you know who you are). I felt so loved, no kidding. So, THANK YOU very, very much for making my birthday a very special one and that's from the bottom of my heart. Hugs and kisses to all!

TWENTY EIGHT

Today, I turn 28, yikes! LOL! Wow! I've been on earth for 28 years now. I thank Heavenly Father for my life especially for allowing me to experience everything I've gone through in the past 28 years. There are so many things I am so grateful for but I doubt I could type them all in one day. I am happy to be alive today and celebrate my birthday with my loved ones. At the age of 28, I am a fulfilled wife and mom of 3 wonderful boys! I am loved! I don't think there's any material gift that can surpass that. Thank you guys, I love you all!

Now, if you'll excuse me I'll go back to watching Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus, lol! Will post birthday pics next time. Have a great day everyone!

Three Months!

It's been a while since I blogged. Honestly, I'm not motivated to blog these past few days. I got so many things to take care of and sometimes I get overwhelmed. Anyway, Aerell is now 3 months old! Time goes by so quickly. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't stop him from growing, hehe! He's been smiling and cooing a lot now. I'm just not lucky enough to capture one of his smiles but I think I'm close to it on this photo. He loves to listen when someone is talking. Even at his age, he can carry a pretty good conversation. We haven't been to the pediatrician yet but I suspect his weight is between 15-16lbs now. Stage 2 diapers are starting to look small on him, haha! So, we started buying him stage 3. Got him a Bumbo seat when he turned 3mos. and he's definitely lovin' it. He can watch tv by himself while sitting on it, lol! I think it's so funny watching him sit in front of the tv like a big man, lol! It's a sight that can make anyone smile.

Well, this will be it for now. Thank you for visiting my blog and special thanks to those who never fail to leave comments on my entries. I really appreciate them guys. I apologize for not being able to visit your blogs yet but one of these days I'll be sure to leave you some comments as well. My schedule is fully loaded right now and I hope you understand. You all have a great weekend.

After 3 months...

I finally got to do some scrapbooking again. I have a lot of photos to scrap and I honestly don't know where to begin. I thought I'd start with Aerell's pics, so here are the first three that I've finished in the last couple of days. Notice a lot of flowers, I just couldn't resist, lol! Enjoy!

It's officially spring...

when you start seeing Bluebonnets (state flower) here in Texas. It's been our family tradition to take photos with these beautiful flowers each year since I first got here. At 75F on a high noon last Sunday, it was really hot out there but the boys were great troopers. Here's Aerell's first photo with the bluebonnets. That basket has been really of great use to this family, lol! Let me tell you it's history, haha! This basket (filled with baby stuffs) was given to me on my baby shower back when I was pregnant with AJ. So all three boys have actually used it and I am just so glad I didn't throw it away back in 2003, hehe!

AJ and Aiden were not really feeling great when we took these pics. They have cough and runny noses but they're a little better now. I think next year, we'll go there late in the afternoon so the sun wouldn't be shining on our faces.

Although Aerell was fast asleep, it didn't stop him from posing with his brothers, lol! The view was just amazing. It's like someone spilled gallons of paint on the grasses from afar. God is truly amazing!

And eventhough this isn't really a great pic of the 5 of us, I'm still sharing it with ya all, lol! I didn't get the chance to take as much as I wanted since the sun was really hard on us. Hopefully, next year we'll do better. There's a lot more photos I've uploaded on friendster.

sorry photos are deleted!
