Me and my stinky winky...

My mom snapped this pic of us when we took our family photo....love it!

I am such a lucky gal to have such a wonderful husband. I can honestly say I am not the easiest gal to live with, but I am working on it. I can get into my moods and just simply get an attitude for the littlest thing. Or many times just be a pain in the butt and want everything to go my way. However, at the end of the day I come to realize that it's no longer about just me...it's us. Sure I have been married for 5yrs but people don't completely change overnight, or at least I don't. For me it's taking me a while, but I am trying... trying not to snap or throw a look when Ivan doesn't close the shower curtain, put his shoes away, etc.. Yes, I am a NEAT/CLEAN freak, with the exception of my closet...lol. But I can't keep freakin out over lil stuff, I need to focus more on the positive....like how much I love my husband for all the love he gives me, and everything he has done for us and most important for giving me my beautiful boys. We have so much to be thankful for but often don't show just how much we are thankful towards one another. So Babe, I am thankful for you in every way. I love you soo much. Sure, you might be a pain in my butt but at the end of the day your always there to rub it. haha I couldn't let it get that sappy...

Soooo, with that said tomorrow is date night!! Woohoo, no kids (Thanks Lo). I/We love our boys to pieces, but I honestly believe that in order to keep our marriage healthy, fun, exciting, and full of love we need to have US time. Even if it's a couple hours to have dinner or a few drinks. However, being this is our first date night this year we are gonna do it all. We are going out for Sushi, and going to watch Alice and Wonderland...fun! I can't wait for our date babe...I love you.

It's been a while....

So I tell myself everyday to log onto my blog and update it. However, it never fails that something comes up and the thought of me shewing Jacob out of the computer room just never feels right. With that said he is sound asleep, so I am going to get my blog on'..haha To bring you all up to speed here are some pics since the my last post.

My bubba wubba, big lips Jacob turned 1!! Even he drools over Mommy's cakes. = )

Being it was a freezing day (Dec. 6th) and being it was a Sunday his party was very intimate and small...I know who would of ever thought.

Merry Christmas! Here is a picture of my Grandma with her Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren..Prime rib at My Dad's is our Christmas Tradition, and let me tell you it's the bomb!

Happy New Year!! Family & Friends party at my house...

It was a cold morning and I had already made a warm breakfast and I was working on Chicken tortilla soup (yumm). Being it was freezing outside I fogged up one of the windows so the boys decided to do finger art work. I had to snap a pic...this sight was just too cute and it warmed my heart!

Happy Birthday Tom! We celebrated my cousin Tom's 30th birthday....good times!
