Happy Birthday Eve

We have a tradition in our family that each person can open one of their gifts the night before their birthday.
Sam is so excited to turn FIVE tomorrow!! Happy Birthday cute boy...Mom loves you!

Happy Birthday Samuel

My baby Sam turned two years old yesterday.

Sam is my crazy baby. He is always making sure I listen to him,

where, when and how he wants to.

I always know where, how and what he is doing.

The dude is loud and I L.O.V.E. him.

Sam's top two:

1- Cars

2- Balls

I know you may think that every boy is the same but I never

met a boy that loves cars and balls SO MUCH...

I feel horrible about Sam's cake. Have you ever forgotten to pick it up your son's birthday cake?

            I know, I know...this things always happen just with me...

I ordered a beautiful "Cars" cake in your local groceries store

and forgot to pick it up on Saturday,

since we do not go to the store on Sundays, I had to buy this cake today so

we could celebrate his birthday.

I really hope you will forgive me Sam...

He didn't want to be the center of the attention

Starting to open his presents: Cars and Balls...what else? :)

Belle's Birthday Celebration

Belle wanted to take some friends bowling to celebrate her birthday this year.

The girls had a lot of fun and it was nice for me to just order their games/shoes and food
and sit to watch them :)

Happy Birthday my Belle...

Fall break and Belle's Birthday :)

Our month of October was very busy but it was great!!

1-I have been trowing or giving baby things away, since Sam is my last baby

it is kind of nice to get rid of the things we do not need anymore.

He sits on a chair at the table instead of a high chair.

2-The kids and I ready to watch General Conference. I love to stay at home and relax listening to

the talks. I had so many favorite ones...

The kids were also out for a whole week for fall break.

We spent time at home, relaxing, watching movies and enjoying waking up a little later.

We also took trips to our favorite places to eat, ice cream/frozen yogurt shops,

our friends pools or simple games with a good old hose on the trampoline.

The kids had fun and I loved the break :)

I woke up craving "empadao de frango" today. I had all of the ingredients and voila...it was delicious!

1-Sam brings me the diaper and wipes when he wants to be changed. lol

2-Belle at her exact birthday. She turned 10 on 10/10.

As you can tell looking at her picture, she looks like and acts as a young women.

On 2002 I tried to make Belle's first birthday cake and it was a disaster. I tried to make a butterfly cake and it looked so bad that I vowed to myself to never make another birthday cake to any of my kids.

Since then I have been buying them ready because I believe I was not born to make cakes. Fact.

This year Belle asked me to bake some of my cupcakes and I said yes but don't worry because for her birthday celebration, the cake will be mad by someone else. :)

Dear Yochabelle:

I cannot believe you are 10 already. I know I say that every year but it is

what I really feel. Time is going by to fast and even tough

I enjoy and I am very thankful for your help and maturity

I still remember when I saw you for the first time.

You changed my life forever Belle.

I will never forget how fast I fell in love with you and how much I love you now.

To me, you will always be that baby that was smaller than a little doll.

You grew in me and I decided to keep you.

FOREVER.

Love you, Mom.

Isaac's Birthday Party!!

to celebrate his birthday on the park.

Isaac had a great time

and we are thankful for all of you that came!!!!

 

Isaac at home opening some of his gifts!

Happy Birthday Isaac!!!!

Isaac is THREE years old today!!!

I am so thankful that Isaac is my son...

and that he is a very active, healthy and a great little boy!

Isaac's top three are:

1-Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

2- His sisters

3- Play outdoors.

I do funny things!

I forgot to tell you what I did three months ago...

I love going to the mall without not knowing what I am going to buy or if I even need something

I like to look, get ideas of outfis and see what everyone is wearing.

Walking around in a store once I got very excited when I found the

cutest and prettiest white dress that was perfect for my little

Hannah's Baptism.

The sale price was awesome and I did buy it.

The really funny thing was that when I got at home

and when I told Hannah to try it on

I saw that the dress was to big and long.

It was then that I realized Hannah was turning SEVEN years old and not

Eight...the dress is perfect.

It only will have to be inside the closet for a year.

I know, silly me.

PS: In our Church the kids are baptized when they turn 8 years old.


Here is my little doll wearing her "future" Baptism dress.

Happy: The price I paid for this cute dress! A lot better than what I paid for Belle's dress :)

Sad: Hannah was not excited that she had to await another year to be Baptized.

Hannah's party: Farrel's style!

Hannah wanted to take some of her girlfriends to "Farrel's Ice Cream Parlor" to celebrate her birthday. Farrel's is a very cute/funny place where they plan and take care of birthday parties.
The little girls were sooooo cute!
Hannah had fun with her friends and enjoying the famous "Diamond Head" giant ice cream.
I drove all of the girls and had a very interesting time listening to them singing, talking (really loud), laughing and teasing each other in the car :)

                                                  Kit had to go to the party too!

Group hug and Hannah opening some of her gifts...
