Change of Season

Ahhhh.... Havent been on in a while, summer is hot, and hectic here in Vegas and I love it, BUT not as much as I love the fall! For some reason I feel nostalgic when I think of fall and the holiday season??? What signifies the beginnig of fall for me is usually when the kids go back to school in late August, time seems to fly and before I know it, the holiday's begin with Labor Day. My favorite month is September, of course because its my birthday month and I LOVE to celebrate! This year is going to be special because my husband and I will be taking a "staycation", we are getting a hotel for the weekend on the strip and will be eating out and watching shows and all the other good stuff you do in a hotel room ;) We have never had a vacation without the kids so even though we are in town, I am worried that the little ones wont sleep or that my sister who is going to babysit wont know how to calm them down, I just hope we can enjoy this alone time because we really need it!

Happy Birthday Steph!

Today my second born is 10 years old! It makes me question where the time has gone? My baby looks like such a big girl and soon I will have 2 teenage girls driving me crazy!!! We stopped doing the birthday party thing with the girls a while ago and instead we do something fun on their birthday's along with a family dinner. Steph chose to go bowling with some of her cousins and then we had some pozole and cake at grandma's house (YUM!!!) I feel blessed to see my children growing up happy and healthy, and I am forever thankful, and its moments like these that we cherish as a family. God is good!
