Wordless Wednesday - My little thief

She literally snatched this off the table and ran. It was so cute I couldn't get mad (I don't like her drinking soda). :)

I Miss You...

It's 8 months today since my Aunt Rosie has passed and my broken heart stays the same. She was more than an aunt, she was like a mother, a best friend, my family's everything. When I think of her I can't help but cry. I miss her smile, her laugh, her not so gentle touch, her guidance, her love, everything.
I especially missed her bright and early phone call on my birthday. & when I think of her not being there for Arianna's 1st birthday...I miss her.
Losing her and my uncle back to back makes me cherish & appreciate everything and everyone I have in my life. I try to get my family together for as many parties & bbqs because you never know how much time you have together. & I thank God for my blessings now more than ever.

Happy Birthday to ME!

This Saturday is my birthday :) I will be 26! I have a couple of dinner dates planned, one with my sisters and one with my love & the kiddos. Will probably spend some time with my mom & grammy too. Mucho fun & PRESENTS!

My Baby is No Baby

Arianna at 2 weeks.
My baby will be one in less than a month but she is far beyond that! She got her first two teeth when she was only two months, she now has sixteen at eleven months! She started crawling when she was five months and walking when she was eight months! I know...she looked like a doll running around! By ten months she said and KNEW who dada and mama were! Well, Monday my stepson, Alex, moved in with us :) and I yelled "Alex" and you know this little girl yelled out "Aleh" (she can't say the x). I was so proud of her! When she learns new things we clap & cheer and now she will do that herself. When she figures out her different toys she claps and does a little dance :)
She brings me so much joy and happiness!

Momma & Baby are busy busy busy!!!

So, I just helped out with my friend, Asia's babyshower and guess what...another one! Yep, my best cuz (more like sister!) is expecting a baby boy too in September. Her babyshower is August 15th and I'm a host!
&& Arianna's 1st birthday party is August 29th! Which I basically am planning solo (let me tell you why daddy isn't involved....this past weekend I simply asked him to get me nine balloons, three sets of three, all DIFFERENT COLORS!!! What does he get me, three sets of three with only three different colors! And I was already going insane with eight girls (ages 9-12) and two babies (my daughter & nephew) plus my two little sisters (ages 19 & 24) who wouldn't lift a finger unless it was to eat! And this was just a slumber party...I would have bit his head off if it had been Arianna's birthday because I already know I will be walking around like a mad woman!)
August 8th is my cousins daughters' birthday party (3 girls...3 presents...$$$)!
August 1st is my birthday but who's gonna have time for that! :(
I am also the matron of honor for my bff and she wants to go look for my dress the weekend before Arianna's birthday (August 22nd)...i don't know about that!
September is pretty clear other than my sisters' birthdays but that should be okay. Simple lil bbq and we'll call it a day!
Ugh...then here comes October and Adrianna already said she wants me to plan her 10th birthday...she wants it to be a costume party but that may change by October.
AND I have to do my bff's (Krystal) bachelorette party...don't even know where to start...

Polka Dots & Cupcake Slumber Party

This past weekend was the girls' slumber party. It turned out great....

We started off by spliting up into 2 teams and my sisters (they helped me out) took 4 girls and I took the other 4 and we did a sort of scavenger hunt. We made a list of things to do, here's a few pics of what the girls had to do...
