On June 19 Peeps turned 9 months

and we had this photo taken at the mall. The girls are wearing typical Panamanian dresses.

A recent post was deleted but ohhhhhhhhh well!

Man.. I wrote so much on that post.. but what can I do? I don't feel like typing it all over again and it was probably a sign to not post something so detailed about my life anyways... here are some recent pics. P.S. Poops won first place in the SACK race on Field DAY! WOO HOOOO!







One pic is of Peeps and her cousin Jasmine shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond!
The other of Peeps in the car eating her yummy feet! YUM-O!
and the other of Poops and Peeps playing on Peeps's new toy!
and one of Peeps and her cousin JayJay..my sis's first and only so far baby girl..and my one and only neice!

Well, its JUNE

School is almost over for Poops and I am so excited I get to spend this whole summer with her.. then back to work for me. :-( I am starting to wonder how Peeps is going to do since she won't let me out of her sight for a moment and it gets worse when someone else is around. Then she gets really insecure and reaches for me. AHHH.. what am I going to do? Even my friends baby wants me all the time.. I think it's cause I look like an angel. LOL.. that's what O says.. cause my pale white skin and yellow hair.. it's like I am so shiny they just want me. What was cute when my friends baby called me mama and was crying for me when her mommy took her out of my arms. LOL.. It's my aura! Here's some recent pics.

MEMORIAL DAY

SOOO BIG

Mira mi Dientes!!!

I loved this pic I took so much I had to post it

Happy 8 months Birthday Peeps!

Peeps turned 8 months today! She bit me really hard today ... on the arm. I have a bruise from those really sharp teeth of hers. There are only 2 teeth on the bottom and a bit of one on the top but they are SO SHARP! Anyways, today was pretty boring...went to lunch with my sis-in-law and then to the bookstore with Poops and Peeps. I had to get a slice of the Cheesecake Factory Banana Foster Cheesecake from there cause it is TO DIE FOR.
Well, here is a pic of Peeps and Poops and two of just Peeps celebrating her 8th month on Earth. :-)

Well.. just a quick update

Soccer was cancelled today due to rain rain..all day.. but its ok because we really needed it. Poops is having a mothers day thing tomorrow at school so I get to go to her school and get a surpsise.
Peeps has two bottom teeth.. she crawls everywhere and pulls herself up onto everything. Omg.. she really drives me crazy.. truly.. I finally took her into my work today so all could see her and ..(yes I know she is already 7 months old). The consensous is that she looks like Poops..how funny is that? Peeps has tanned so dramatically in the past month.. she is closer to O's skin color than ever and makes me look like Casper the friendly ghost.
Poops is more excited about Mother's Day than me. I don't know why but I am not so excited this year. I have had this headache for the past week that won't go away and keeps getting worse. I have been taking Tylenol for it but it doesn't even make a dent in it. I can actually feel the headache in my sleep...
Well, just an update for my pal Kristi because I think she is the only one in the world who reads this thing. :-)
Give the kids my love and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

P.S. Photo is of Peeps at Cracker Barrel..she just put her feet up on the table!

Spring Break is over.. :-(

Well, Poops certainly enjoyed her Spring Break. And I enjoyed sleeping in ...even Peeps got to sleep in and we all loved it. I almost can't wait for summer so I can sleep in again...although the dog days of summer here are so hard to deal with. It gets so hot you can't breathe. I gotta hurry up and buy our memberships to the pool for the summer. I don't know when I will get another summer off with the girls so I want to make this one as memorable for Poops as I can.
We went to Great Falls Park for the first time and Poops enjoyed climbing on the rocks. Peeps loved being in the sand.
Peeps got her first tooth the day before Easter. It just popped out and I knew something was wrong the day before because she was soooo cranky. I am glad that it's over and her tooth is finally here. She crawled for the first time yesterday and we were so excited. I went to get the video camera and when I wanted to tape it she just sat there crying for me to come and give her the camera! UGH! Oh well..
My dad is supposed to come and pour the concrete tomorrow so hopefully that will go well and we can utilize our back yard.
Well, there are just too many things going on right now so I gotta go!

A day with the kids and Kristi

Well, I finally got to see Sammy.. wow! He is so grown now and can talk and is so sweet! Poops told me he is so cute and she can't wait for Peeps to be that size. Little KayKay was so cute...her and Peeps were baby talking but most of the time KayKay decided to nap.

Lets see...the funniest part of the day.. of should we say possibly the year.. I turn around and lo and behold! I see Sammy .. pants dropped to the ground.. right by the park bench.. taking a WHIZ! LOL.. it was sooooooooooo funny! I see what I am missing out on not having a boy of my own! LOL.. I was going to take a picture then I thought..well maybe not.. it could've been perceived as a little weird when I go to get it developed so I decided not to. It was so funny because he was so casual about it. Then Matthew had to go potty from all those bottles of water he drank and Kristi sent him over to the tree. Poops followed and watched and she was scolded when she got home. She said that she didn't see what the big deal was because she had already seen him pee once before. LOL

Oh well..here's a picture from the park with Lexi, Poops, Sammy, and Matthew.

Finally!

Ok..hmm..I just got our taxes filed from 2004 and 2005! Looks as if I will have enough money to stay home until Peeps's 1 year old as planned. I am so happy! YAY!
Monday Poops had an infection on an old cavity that had a silver cap over it and it was infected because the new tooth was trying to come in but because of the cap it couldn't and caused an infection. So, needless to say they pulled it, popped the infection bubble, and sent her home with a dose of antibiotics. Since she had a bad headache..could've been cause of the tooth, I let her stay home Monday..then that night she went to her swim class..Tuesday she went to school and the clinic called an hour before school was to let out so..I went to get her..then Wednesday she still felt bad with a headache and temp of 99.1 so I let her stay home.. Today she is back to normal and I got my taxes done. The tax guy has a little farm and has a horse so Peeps got to pet the horse. We fed him some hay/grass and she cried when I put her back in the car..
Nothing else is new I guess.. I am just so relieved that I finally got our taxes done. Whew!
Oh yea, when I took Poops to swim class I also took Peeps swimming. She loves the water! She kept trying to drink it though! LOL.. So cute!
Here is a pic of the girls after swimming.

Now I know what color her eyes are! :-)

Today was Poop's "Read-IN" at school. Parents were invited to come and read with their children at the school for an hour. So, Peeps and I went and Poops read about five books to us. Her teacher says she reads at a 2nd grade level and is very impressed. She uses her right side of her brain cause the left side uses math and she is average with that.
Then we went to Poop's Cheer Carnival where she danced to "I want Candy" and did some cheers. My sister Sam, her baby JayJay, her boyfriend Jamie, my dad, Peeps, O, and I all cheered from the stands but Poops said she was sad because she couldn't find us in the crowd. You win some and you lose some but I was there and I recorded it so I have proof! :-) She did great.. sad and all! Well, off to bed.. Peeps will undoubtedly wake up at 7am tomorrow morning.

What color are these EYES??? I really need to know!

Can't figure out what color her eyes will be.. please assist!

March 5 2006

Today is my friend Kristi's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTI! I can't wait for you to come from Hawaii and visit so we can celebrate it. P.S. The birthday card you sent me was really funny...thank you!
Yesterday Poops cheered at the last game of the season and she is starting soccer and swimming in two weeks. She was a trooper to hold out and do good at the games even though she wasn't into it. Peeps let one of the other moms hold her the entire time.. And she still won't let my sister touch her. LOL.. Sorry Sam and Amy..just give her some time.. :- )
Well, I gotta go cause weekend time is precious and I have to spend some quality time with Poops.

The big snow of our winter!

Poops and Peeps out in the back of the house where Poops and O built a big ol' snowman!

Toooo cute not to post!

I have one of Poops like this so I had to get one of Peeps.. I think I might just go back in the albums and find the one of Poops so I can compare their tushies. LOL.. :-) I love my baby! Look at her powdered butt! Look at those ears! LOL.. awwwwwwwwwwwww!

I just checked my mail-

THANK YOU KRISTI AND TAMMY FOR THE CUTE and SWEET BIRTHDAY CARDS!

What did I do for my birthday.. thats what everyone wants to know!

OK lets see..two days before my birthday I went out to dinner with my little sister in law, Lish, who took me to Chili's. It was really nice.. I had one of their moulten chocolate cake desserts and it is sooooo good..its to die for! Thanks Lish!
Then lets see on my actual birthday I went to breakfast at IHOP with my friend Theresa and we took our daughters. That was her gift to me! Thanks Theresa!
Then O took Poops to her cheerleading game and I took a nice hot bubble bath...and the doorbell kept going off and someone was knocking on the door! I couldn't get there in time but when I finally got out and dressed there was a note that a package was left with my neighbor. I went over there and was really suprised to find a bocquet of flowers from none other than my sister, Sam. How sweet! Thank you Sam!
Then I met up with O at the game and we headed out to Silver Spring, MD to a restaurant called Cubanos. It was nice but kinda fancy for my taste..I felt like we were the Simpsons going to a fancy restaurant. Poops kept licking the water out of her wine glass filled with water and saying "We want food!" while banging her fork and knife on the table..then there was miss Peeps..so good until the food came..then she was trying to grab everything.. I think she actually threw a fork across the room at one point. LOL THANK YOU O!
Then we went home and some people came over for the fight.. oh yea.. I forgot to mention O gave me a gift card to a spa for a massage..THANKS AGAIN O!
I got lots of calls on my birthday from Aunt Lia, Uncle Richard, Uncle Ronnie, Grandpa, Uncle Robert, my littlest sister Cindy, sister Sam, friends Kelly, Kristi, Tammy, and Monica... all wishing me happy birthday. My father called of course and my mom even called.
Then the next day I got an email from Uncle Kelly for birthday wishes.. I haven't checked the mail yet but friend Kristi says there is a birthday card in there for me. Thanks to all who helped me celebrate my birthday! It's gotten a lot easier to celebrate it because as many know my birthday is also the same day that my grandmother passed away. I also know that because of little sister Sam that is why I got so many calls from my mom's side of the family! She really has matured and become a better person..I am very proud of the person she is now.
Then last night my friend Ashkan and his girlfriend Megan took me and the family out to dinner.. a place of my choice they said and I choose Piano Grill..formerly the Pars. It was nice.. we were the only people there and there was a piano playing and they brought out some cake with sparklers and sand happy birthday while I turned red.. then they gave me a gift card to Target which I already spent this morning on a bathing suit. The restaurant has a belly dancer and singer on Friday and Saturday but not Sundays but it was still really really nice.. we stayed till 10:30 just talking and laughing.
Well, Thats my cue..-Peeps just woke up and I gotta go grab her and feed her.
Thanks again to everyone who helped my day be so special!
ME!

MY BIRTHDAY!!! OH NOOOOO

Wow! Today is my birthday.. I am a whole XX years old! I have two kids and a husband!!! Omg.. I am old...!!!! What's going on??? Hmm... I can't really believe it..that I made it to this age.. I never really thought I would be this old. But, at least I am not 30 yet.. cause thats 3 whole decades! LOL
Happy Birthday to me! I am going to breakfast with a friend at IHOP after Peeps wakes me up for the day..then to Poop's cheerleading game which will last about 3 hours.. then possibly a movie and dinner with the hubby.
My mom called me on the 24th and sang Happy Birthday to me on my voice mail. She has never gotten it wrong before but I guess the age is getting to her. Sometimes I forget that every year I get older.. so do my parents.
Here's to getting old!!! :-) I thank God every day for each breath that he allows me to take..to have each day to kiss my girls and see them play and grow. I thank God each day that he allows me to love and be loved. Happy Birthday to me! Thank you GOD! Thank you for giving me this day and every day!
-Photo is of me at 5 years old!
