Cancun 2012

 As always, Cancun was wonderful! Great food, relaxing, and we did  whatever we felt like it. No responsibilities or schedules for 5 days. 

Hanging out in the pool with friends (it was very chilli, so we ended going in the hot tub)

Delicious dinners every night w/o worry how much the bill was going to be

Dessert, please!  No need for calorie restriction when you go burn it off  in the dance floor

Love birds!

Some of us we were trying to tan and others trying to not get a sunburn

My husband can still sweep me off my feet! (literally!).

Can't wait for next year!

Tears+tantrums=toddlerhood



Daddy and Daughter Dance, J's 3rd bday and Some Random Ones

 Jacqueline's 1st day of ballet

 Two peas in a pod. The other day J looked at V and said: "Vivian, you are my best friend!" How I love that I have 2 girls!!! 

Christmas was very tough with the passing of my stepdad, but these 2 little precious angels made us smile  amidst of pain and sorrow

 Celebration of Jacqueline's 3rd bday at school

 Ms. Dee Dee and Ms. Melissa

 Friends from Lifegroup (Amira, Ella, Sam and Abby)

 V has just taken her diaper and pants off and put them in the trash can

 Sharing a snack with cousin Isla

 Almost another scandal...I found her before she attacked the walls again with my lipstick

 Barbie playing hide and seek. I think it's so cute when Vivian "hides' her toys

There is not too many things in life better than snuggling with my 2 girls

Fruit of the Womb

 Yesterday I helped throw a baby shower to a very dear friend

 Christina has a knack for decorating and making things beautiful. She came up with all the decoration ideas and everything looked amazing!

The mom to be "supposely" already chose the name of her bundle of joy, so for fun, Cheryl had the idea to  "help" them by asking the guests to make name recommendation and to use as a wine charm. How creative!

 If you know me well, you know how much I LOVE cake and I'm such a cake snob. This cake did not disappoint me. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! So glad that was some left over  and we got to take some home!

 Here she is!

 We ate some yummy food

 and then was time to open gifts

 Guests signed a message for Vickie and Tom in this keep sake plate

 By far, this is my favorite picture of the day. Vickie's mom is looking at her with so much tenderness and love

 Here are all the wonderful ladies who helped pull this shower together. I enjoyed meeting all of them.

 Baby Defelice enjoyed the shower too... he was joyfully kicking!!

I'm overjoyed for Vickie! I was so honored to be part of this celebration. She will be an amazing mom. This baby is truly a gift from God!

I HEART Fall!

 This afternoon we went for a walk in our neighborhood's trail

 Silly girls!

 They were running everywhere. I'm surprised I was even able to take pictures

 They LOVED the puddles. They were jumping and splashing water everywhere
