January where did you go?

Happy New Year guys! This is my first official post here on my own Blog for 2014. What do I mean by first official post? Well, I'm lucky to be a contributor on a couple other sites and I have a couple posts that already came out this year. I hope you have checked them out but in case you missed them here's a sneak peak of those so you can stop on by. I would gladly appreciate it.

So what have I been up to? Where have I been? Let see...

Right around the strike of New years we saw these 3 hovering lights above us and they seemed to be following each other in a triangle formation. My brother said Aliens! I snapped a quick photo and we giggled about it until we saw real news reports about lights just like this being seen in Southern states that same night! Lights that no one could identify. Crazy right? We had a "The Truth is out There" moment

Our kitchen went through major Home Repairs! Everything got moved and we got a new floor. We got a new counter and shelves and sink and more! Meanwhile all this was going on we couldn't cook. And if you know me then you know I cook 99% of the time every meal we eat. Well I went crazy and it stinks because it coincided with the week long stomach bug my family went through. My kiddo threw up 10 times on one day then it just spread from family member to family member till the house was a Hot zone of infection. Thankfully we finally felt better and my first cooked meal in the new kitchen was chicken soup. Ps this photo was of my kiddo putting the first drops of paint on the wall to bless our new kitchen. 

If you live in the south then you know how rough it was during this month with the unusually low temps (said not sarcastically REALLY). How yes school was cancelled and our cities shut down. Well it was scary! And our city to make light of this time used the hashtag #Raspageddon to chronicle it across social media. Meanwhile if you are in a Northern state you made some pretty memorable memes about us. 

And of course when little bits of sunshine and warmth shined through we went outdoors and soaked it up! That is how I spent most of January.

Thank you for following along on my journey and you can bet you will see me here a lot more often! Happy Chinese New year guys! 

Seaworld Christmas Celebration 2013

This year we were extra excited about heading to Seaworld for there Christmas celebration. Why? This year Seaworld brought snow to Texas! Yep, with Snow World Seaworld got to give us Texans something most of us have never experienced...the ability to play in snow and even tube slide down it! 

Check out all the fun we had this year at Seaworlds Christmas Celebration! 

I just love these trees! 

Candy cane Forest is always one of my favorite areas!

I loved this new addition to the celebration with this Beautiful Nativity! 

A giant snow glove that families can get into and take special holiday photos are truly unique! 

 Snow! Yep, my kiddo made a tiny snowman and snow balls and even slide down a snow area

 I loved the nostalgic Christmas celebration here

 Amazing Christmas trees! 

 These giant lights and ornaments were fun photo opportunities! 

How could you not take a ride on the train? They even gave us these adorable tickets that make you feel like your on the Polar Express. 

Doesn't it look like a fun trip? We cant wait for next year! 

Celebrate your Babys milestones with Pampers #SwaddlersFirsts {Giveaway}

Disclaimer: This review was made possible by Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers.  All opinions are 100% mine.

I remember finding out I was pregnant and immediately gathering items to create a memory book. I put in it every doctor appointment, every sonogram, every first special moment. I can still remember the first toy he received and the first outfit he got. So of course once he was born I made sure to capture every first and major milestone even more so! 

I actually went a little overboard and even wrote in it the first store he visited (Khols), his first restaurant he went to (Dennys) and even the first tv show he watched (Scooby Doo)! Dont worry though in between all the weird ones Yes I still captured his first step, the first time he stood up alone and his first word. I just felt like everything was so special, am I right moms?
