A look back on 2015

Happy New Year!!! 2015 was a wonderful year with many ups and downs in our world.

Last Year I told myself I would blog and blog and blog about our life and the kids growing so fast. But I let the year slip me by. Time has gone by faster than I could have imagines!! I didn't achieve my goal which I thought would be an easy one!! But gosh it was tough and both my computers crashed and I thought I could use my smart phone. Anyways it just didn't happen the way I planned. Looking back at old pictures on facebook and instagram and my phone make me sad how fast these kids are growing before my eyes!!! So I promise myself no matter how hard it gets and how fast the day slips by me I will record them much more!!!! I'll also be doing a lot vlogging on my youtube channel My Channel as much as possible. I want to be to look back at my babies and their growth and share with the world and family. SO please join us as we get a bit silly and serious at times and share our life with the public.

What will you find here and on my channel???? Well a bit of everything. I started my channel as a beauty channel because I love makeup so much and I was a bored SAHM. No adays I've gotten into so much more in life. I've always been into food and recipes and have taken that passion on as I went through a new lifestyle change. A few years back I became a Vegan. I'm more of a Vegetarian now because I just love cheese, but eat mainly Vegan. With that I'd love to share my recipes with you. My family doesn't eat fully Vegetarian so you'll be seeing meat as well. Also I have a new job as a cook/manager at my daughter Elementary School, I just love it so much. on youtube I've gotten more into watching family videos which has inspired me to share mine with you. Join us this New Year with little peices of our lives.


So here's a recap on 2015

We got to eat most of our meals from my huge garden I planted this year!!! We even got my daughter an Apple tree for her birthday. Some good organic goodness!!!
I've lost almost 20 pounds from eating mainly all fruits and vegetables. But I hope to gain about 10 pounds back this year. Why??? Well I just have one of those body types that loses all curves with weight lose. I'd like to get them back. Along with some toning up this year. Which reminds me I bought the Tone It Up book and it's amazing!! I'm going to touch more on that in another post.

My girls took on an instrument this year. Briella is playing the Cello and Kaleigh is playing the Violin. Both beautiful strings and they are working hard on them.

This is Hubby & I at my cousins wedding. It was beautiful and so much fun!! Loved seeing the Family I haven't see in awhile!!! We wore matching black and red!! I thought we were pretty good looking that night!!!

The girls enjoying the amzingly warm and gorgeous Fall we had this year!! This was at one of my sons Cross Country meets. Due to the fact I haven't had a computer for half the year I don't have very many pictures in this new one.

Last Month we went to Vegas for our Anniversary. My dream of going to Paris was closely filled by Hubby & I celebrating our Anniversary at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. They even had a vegetarian meal for me.

It was a blast and a much needed Mommy & Daddy Vacation. 

Devin does Track in the Spring & Cross Country in the Fall. The girls love cheering their big Brother on. He even won an award and plaque in his honor. Next year he'll be in High School but he gets to go back for the first meet and shoot the gun.

Daddy & his little Loves

Trader Joes came out with Spray coconut oil!! Mama bear was one happy cooker.

My Husband might kill me for this one!!!! But damn he's the sexiest Husband in the whole world!

Aren't they just darling! They are in the 4th grade this year. Learning lot's of new things. Home has gotten harder and they are reading more and working hard.

Halloween. One of our favorite holidays!!! The girls were Monster High's this year. Of coarse Devin and my nephew didn't want a picture taken.

The girls were in the Christmas Parade walking Santa to his Village. It was so exciting for them!!

We waited almost 6 hours for Santa. Yup you heard that right. We are nuts!!!

The kids and Santa

Oh and we got a new member to our family this year!!!! A bunny and it was Kaleigh's turn to name a pet this time. She named her Carrots and she's the cutest and sweetest little baby bunny.

This was Thanksgiving. We had the Family over and it was such a lovely day. Sadly my mom had surgery so my parents couldn't come over. The weather has been so Gorgeous and warm this year. I fear by next year the girls might get almost as tall as me. I've excepted the fact that I'm small and everyone is out growing me. Hahhaaaa

Well I don't wan to go too crazy with this post so that's all for now!!! What a lovely year we have had and i hope to have an even better on this year!!

Happy & Healthy New Year to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Years Makeup Collab w/ MzBeautii24

I did a Makeup collb with my youtube friend Shea. Glitter was on my mind for this look so I had to find some glitter. Though the Revlon one I bought didn't work out how I wanted it to luckily I had some back ups. It was fun to do a makeup look again. Though I guess I filmed it wrong cause when I put it in my editor the video was upside down so I loaded it as is. Sorry no editing here just the real deal.

Here's so pictures to go along with the look

The Kids on Christmas Morning 2015

Our Camping Trip

Hello world!!! We our back from our annual camping trip. 9 days with 5 kids and some rain but we survived. It was really nice to get away for a bit and not have to worry about the house and bills and everyday life. Our 2 nephews came with us, which keeps our older one busy since he has 2 little sisters.

Camping is our favorite little get away. It's fairly cheap and everyone has a great time. We went to the beach, where I got burnt like always. We had a scavenger hunt that was so much fun I recommend every family to do one at least once in your life lol. I made a list for everyone and gave them all bags. We all just went through the camp ground and woods looking for things like flowers,acorns,pinecones,something yellow,a feather and more. I loved seeing what everyone found.

During the last weekend we celebrated our youngest 9th birthday. The whole family came up and we went to the beach and cooked on the girl and has cake and drinks by the fire. She got a camper and a jeep for her American Girl Doll so that was the high light of her trip.

It was a great trip and hopefully before the summer ends we can go back for at least a weekend. Ughhh now I'm still doing laundry and putting away all this camping crap. Feels like we took half the house with us!!

Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!

My oldest turns 14

Wow where does the years go?? 14 years ago I gave birth to my first child, Devin Louis. This kid has grown up do darn face it seriously makes my head spin. His last visit a few months back to the pedestrians office confirmed him being 5'8 and 150 pounds. Oh my not a baby anymore that's for damn sure. That makes him 8 inches taller than me and I'm pretty sure he may have grown an inch since then.

I remember bring him home for the first time. This tiny little bundle of joy on a hot Summers day. We lived in this tiny little apartment on the 3rd floor learning to be parents for the first time. He had blonde hair and blue eyes looking like a mini version of my husband. Then he grow into the funniest wildest little boy. So much energy came from this cute little guy. I remember him banging his head crying at my mom's house cause I had to leave him and go to work. I would cry driving to work wishing I could just turn around and scoop him back up. He's daddy would parade him around cars shows with his friends and we would go swimming and take him camping during the summer.

Watching little boys grow up is a ton of fun but I was meant to only have one!! We had 2 little girls after our rough tough messy little boy. He ran around the yard with sticks and searched for worms in the yard. He played rough and got extremely dirty all time. Back then he thought he was a power ranger and an army guy all in one. Kept me on my toes from morning till night. I had to climb in his car bed and read him like 7 books before he fell asleep for the night.

By the time he was 7 we bought our very own house with a huge backyard and a new puppy to to entertain all that boy energy he held. He grew so fast and became a great student and and amazing track star. Devin will be going to 8th grade this year, his last year in the middle school. His hair has become darker and curler and his eyes changed to a beautiful green. His big dimple remains the same. He's a great big brother to his younger sisters and loves animals,video games and the solar system!!

Happy Birthday to the not little boy anymore.
