Long time - no write



It's been awhile...I know! Catching up is gonna be hard!
Here's what you missed:
Sept.28 - My brother turned 19. His friends from San Diego and LB all came together to celebrate. We celebrated his birthday on the 30th (they were kind enough to add me to the cake since our birthdays are only 8 days apart). I'm so glad that my brother and I are close. We're 13 years apart but it doesn't ever feel that way. And of course the family shot is necessary (even though I would never fathom the thought of doing this with my parents when I was turning 19!)
Oct.3 - Alexa turned 14 months! Picture wasn't actually taken on her 14th month but on 9/30/07. She's talking much more. She doesn't like you to tell her what to do. She sleeps in her crib in her room all by her self like a big girl. She shakes her behind from left to right when she hears music. She's growing tall and big! She wears 24 month clothing comfortably. She pulls all the towels that hang on the oven handle to check herself out in the reflection. She's just becoming the little person she is.
This pic was taken on 10/21/07:do you see the little tooth coming out on the bottom? Well it's fully out now. Her teeth crack me up! She loves to brush her teeth, which is good. We're hoping that all the pearly whites stay pearly white!

I turned 32 and celebrated with friends at lucky strike.

I survived my first (and last) wedding coordination job. I was so busy that I didn't take any pics! Thank god Jame took some good ones for me: The candy buffet was a hit!
If you would've seen the before pics of the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket you'd give me props! I'm gonna have to get another one just to get a before picture. I'm so happy with the way they turned out.



Sam performed at friendship games and rocked! She's the first one that comes out from the right side

They opened up for TM at CSUF Friendship games. Alex was there representing UCSD and Celisse was there representing CSUR. It was a trip to be at friendship games. I felt old! hahaha... Sam did so well. She lights up when she's on stage!

Sam the witch turned Alexa into an octopus for Halloween.

Babystyle has the best halloween costumes and at reasonable prices! Paul asked me if I was sticking to a fish/ocean theme for Alexa every year. She was a fish last year. i.e.
We go treating in my mom's neighborhood. It gets really busy there and the houses get all into it and decorate like crazy. Here's Sam at one of those houses.
Paul was the strong one and carried Alexa to the door since she refused to walk AT ALL. After the 3rd house we gave up and she was in the stroller the rest of the time.

My mom's 52nd birthday turned into a 21st birthday. (I'm waiting for my mom to give me pics from that night)
Alexa turned 15 months and had a fever of 102 :(

Life is going by so fast. I don't want to miss all the small things with Alexa. I remember complaining that she was too lazy to walk. But now she doesn't crawl. I miss her crawling...:( She's even running now.

This weekend Sam is performing in a showcase in No. Cali. called PRELUDE The family is going on a road trip up north. It will be nice to get away. I've been pretty bad with picture taking lately. So I hope that I'll remember when I'm up there.

oops, my comment on the "warp speed" was suppose to go to this post. so my comment to "warp speed" will actually reside here:

i feel you. time goes by so fast. you try to capture every ounce of your kids, but you have that whole other set of 'to dos' and its just dayum hard to balance.
