Guess who's in Preschool???

MY Caitlyn! And man does she love it, while others cried, she went in all excited, looking forward to a great year. I actually got these pictures yesterday and started crying, she is so grown! I can't believe I missed such an event in her life, but at least I have these to go by. I knew this would be the hardest part of leaving Miami, I miss my niece and nephew way too much and my beautiful Mia and my little ful of energy bud Gavin! I hope to see them real soon!

Old posts...

so I haven't posted in a while and forgot I had these great pics that I forgot to post. The boys helped me bake some cookies, they looked weird, but taste yummy! They had a great time and were so proud at the way they turned out. Ethan kept saying, "I baked those cookies"

I took the boys to a great and convenient place called "Jumping Beans" literally a store wide bounce house, it is huge! and they of course had a great time. We loved it so much that we are actually celebrating Evan's 2nd B-day there this weekend.

And lastly Ethan got sick again this year:( poor baby using the nebulizer once again, gotta love preschool! He loved this mask that they gave him at the pediatricians office (BTW, love those pediatricians, thank God I chose them) they even open on Sat. and have 3 different locations! 10 days of antibiotics and 2 Xopenex treatments later, he has made a full recovery!

I am on a roll...

so I have done 8 or 9 layouts in 2 days...INSANE! My Mojo is kicking! I am planning to stay up til the crack of dawn...yeah right. Off to bed, NITE!

Catching up...

so i am in the "catching up" mood lately, trying to at least. These layouts are from Christmas 2006, yes I know I have more recent ones but that's me, I skip months! I have decided not to do any more new LO's without catching up the old. Let's see how long that last ;)

Finally...

after a year in a box, I am finally scrapping the Disney pictures! I totally forgot about the quality of these prints. Man I love them ALL! I purchased them from York Photo and they look amazing. So hear is what the first few layouts look like. Nothing fancy, very simple and clean so I can finish fast! Don't look at the mess...lol

Story time, Jess' B-day, & CKC...

so I was invited by Ethan's school teacher to come do story time with his class (all 4 kids) lol...It went well and the kids loved the selection of books that Ethan and I choose (and his favorites right now). By the second book Ethan was ready to go, "mama let's go home" mind you it was only 11:00 am. Frank and I left and met up with Eddy at a Hibachi Restaurant in Cary KABUKI. I was so excited since I missed Samurai sooooooooo much back home.

We also went to Jessica's house for cake and ice cream to celebrate her 32nd B-day! HAPPY B-DAY Jessie! The boys crashed within minutes after coming home, they are now in bed by 7:30 thanks to school! I hope to scrapbook tomorrow all day since I will be home alone, no kids, no husband, even no brother-in-law!!!!!!!!! Just me, my room, and my ipod!

OMG!!! how can I forget...I went to CKC in Charlotte last Saturday and man we had a good time! Although we were a little disappointed (we thought the shopping would be bigger) we really enjoyed the classes. I also met my favorite digital scrapper...Jessica Sprague! She was so nice and friendly! Here are a few pics, yes believe it or not I only took a few pics!

2 new LO's

So I am a little behind on the boys album, but I skipped a few months and did their first day of preschool. They were so cute! Can you believe that Evan never took off his cap, he is too funny! I have all this unused Sassafras Lass paper that I am glad I am bring to use!

Guess what I found???

A Cuban RESTAURANT!!! So I was at work and talking to a Dr. Estok who is married to none other than a Cuban. He mentioned about a new place opened in Cary with real authentic Cuban food. So at first I thought ok I will wait and go Tuesday, but once I called home both Eddy & Frank wanted some good take-out! The food was great, just like back home and the ambiance was amazing(palm trees, Cuban decor, music) We have to go for breakfast. (They have cafe con leche and tostadas) Yipppppie!

6 days off!

So I have had 4 days off so far, 2 more to go and all I get done is 3 LO's. I did manage to clean, cook, and do laundry so perhaps the last 2 days will be filled of just scrapping??? NOT Ethan gets to stay home tomorrow from Daycare since he had a fever today, although clearly it's a 24hr thing, that's the rule! Oh well lots of scrapping when he naps and plays I guess. Here are my new LO's. Also tomorrow I will post the most expensive "pastelitos" I have ever eaten! YES my friends I am receiving a box of them overnight since my cousin felt sorry for me and the ones Dayami sent got here 4 days too late:( Poor Dayi she got so frustrated with FedEx! We'll see they are suppose to arrive by 10am.

New Layouts!

Here are a few new LO's. I just LOVE the Love, Elsie line! I am quite addicted!

My soon-to-be neighbor!

My friend Debbie and her hubby Gonzalo were in town, looking around for a place to relocate! I am so excited!!! Of course she loved Cary, I mean who doesn't! The place is so freaken awesome and voted as the best place to raise a family, and guess what??? SHE'S PREGNANT! So happy for them both! I also heard today that two more people are moving here! (Danny's brother and cousin) Cool beans! That means more Cubans for NC!

First Day of School/Eddy's B-day!

So the boys started school (preschool) Monday, July 16th, same day as Eddy's 30th B-day! They stayed really quiet and just cried during their nap time, but that is a start. I was so happy to see their excitement as they played with the other children. I really like this school, the teachers are excellent and they just opened so everything is new and sparkling! We also celebrated Eddy's B-day with our neighbors and friends and we had a great time!

More pool fun!

So we decided to spend our Summer in the nice relaxing pools here in NC (they have so many). This one is called Johnson Lake Pool, it's a park, not a lake with this cool outdoor pool with a kiddie pool and sprinkler area. The boys loved it and I did too, so much so that we went 2 days in a roll! Eddy and Frank joined us the second day and we had a great time!
