Five question Friday... a day late

I thought I would join in on Mama M.'s blog carnival at www.fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com




1. Do you do a real or fake Christmas tree? I am allergic to the tree's so I have to use a fake one and the one from last year looked like a Charlie Brown tree. We also have a cute 12 inch tree that if I am unable to find a decent tree this year. We will use.

2. What is your favorite Christmas tradition with your family? I think it is the excitement the kids have to get up in the morning and see all the presents. I do not put any presents under the tree until Christmas eve. Though this year moneys tight so it probably will not look like a whole lot.

3. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in your neck of the woods? yes And, if so...how many calories do you think you consumed yesterday? I was very good this year and even lost weight

4. Have you started decorating for Christmas, yet? no, not at all

5. What is your favorite Christmas cookie? sugar cookie, you know they are different shapes like trees and santas

Introducing a very special lady

........................My Mom...also known as Nana to 40 kids now.

She is just the best in the world and I don't know where I would be with out her. 

Back in August she went to the Hospital because she was not feeling well. They admitted her. 

Things were not looking very well. I was staying strong and then my dad said something really downer and then I broke, My mom is 70 and has lived a long life full of her 8 children, 20 grandchildren, and her building number of great grandchildren which is numbered 20 as of the 18th of November. Now we found out there is another on the way. Anyways I am in No way shape or form ready to lose my mom and that was a really scary time for me.

But after 2 weeks in the hospital and 4 weeks in a rehab facility she got home where she wanted to be. This is something That I am VERY Thankful for this Holiday season.

This is Mom and her 20th grandchild My babygirl showing some love. I am glad I had my camera for this touching moment.

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!

perhaps this should be written on Mothers day but I wanted to share now!

Happy Turkey Day

I just wanted to say Happy Turkey Day to everyone. Me and the kiddos are going to my mom and dads today to eat dinner. I will be back here and tell you all what I am thankful for and post some pics hopefully. Granted the table will Not be set up in grandeur style.But it is food that God has provided.

New Do's

There is a new hair place near where I live and for grand opening they are doing haircuts for $2.99..I was like wow and Alexis and I went for impromptu haircuts

Above is Alexis and below is myself

 So what do you think of our new do's, sorry as its Tuesday and I forgot to do not me Mondays yesterday I will have to save it for next week.

what we did do was get haircuts for $2.99 each

Arghhhh....and some tidbits

Alexis is not going to be going to the developmental preschool. cognitively they feel she is getting what she needs from her daycare center ( which she has been in preschool since September, before that she was in the toddler class) I love the center they are great, but she is developmentally delayed and has PVL which is brain damage even though thank God it is mild. But anyways she will be getting the therapies PT,OT, and ST through the public schools and will have and IEP. It is only 2 hours a week that she has been approved for. I am getting some help on a possible appeal.


My niece Corina Rose is have her second baby today, she is scheduled for a C-section. So welcome to the world Ava, your big brother Austin is gonna love you. I will post a pic when I get one.

I have to go to the town hall where I used to live to pick up Alexis' birth certificate because in all her three years i have yet to get it, but I need it to register for the public school services she is going to be getting.

Well I am off to get ready for the day of interning

It is November 17 2009 and my baby is three

How can it be that you have been on this earth for three years already?

It seems like only yesterday when you were born.
this tiny little miracle weighing in at 5lbs 2 1/2 oz
17 1/2 inches long. You just could not wait to get into this world






And then before I knew it,

 

And you were one











It seems like I blinked and another year went by.
And then you were two

I don't know how but I must have blinked again because my baby girl is growing up.
                                                    

And now you are three


Happy Birthday to my baby girl 
who is growing up way to fast.

NOT me Monday

Following along with MckMama with my own not me Monday post. I also wish to thank god for Stellan and his successful ablation



I did Not forget to order Alexis' birthday cake until Saturday morning the day before her party.


Okay so on Saturday the serpentine belt did NOT fall off my car while I was Not out trying to get last minute things for Alexis' birthday party. It was Not pouring out and I did not get soaked waiting on a tow truck to get me home.

Because said car was NOT broke down I did not need a ride to get the cake the I did Not almost forget to order, and I did Not arrive to my own child's late, No way that wasn't me.

This is Not the last day my baby will be 2 she can Not be turning 3 tomorrow
