Brielle's BeeDay Party Preps

Brielle's party last Saturday was a success! I couldn't believe that it went just like what I planned. Of course it wouldn't be possible without the help of some friends and I am so grateful for that! It felt like home, having friends that you could depend on and treat you as a family is such a blessing.

I couldn't wait for the official photos from our official photographer Joan Fabia. For the meantime here are some photos of the birthday preps I did before the big day!

I'm A Little Bit Stressed Right Now

My title says it all. My job is seriously stressing me. And what I hate about it, is it's affecting me as a wife and mom to my kids. I think I need to look for another job, For everything's sake. Sigh.......

Pretty Cake for Brie

Just want to share the cake I bought for Brielle yesterday for her birthday :). I just got the small one since it's only us and Aubrey who'll share with it. I already ordered cupcakes and cake for her birthday celebration on the 21st!

Rafael's Electrical Talent

I was surprised when Rafael suddenly made his night light work. I tried to fix it, I swear, but all the while I thought I already need to change the bulb. But when I was folding his clothes, Rafael tried to work on it and now it's working!!! Hmmmm... He has some electrical talents hidden inside him. He was so proud of himself, and of course I am too!

My Princess Brielle is 1!

Happy Happy 1st Birthday to my little princess Brielle Louise! I love you so much my sweetheart. You make things a lot easier for me and daddy. You and your brother Rafael are our inspiration, joy and one of the reasons why we love this family so much. I fell so much in love with you. I'm looking at you right now teary eyed. I can't believe that it's already one year since you arrived into our lives. Someday you'll get to read this, and I hope you feel my love.

The Big Brother

Without asking him, Rafael had the initiative to open a new can of Brielle's afternoon snack. I was impressed when he approached his little sister looked after her while eating. At first I thought he wanted to get some for himself but I guess my son is not a little boy anymore. He has grown into mature, independent young boy who embraced the responsibility of him
being an older brother.

Always On The Go

I took this photo just before we left to
pick up her brother Rafa from McNeely School today. That's Brie! Always on the go!!!! Still charming and smiling!

Tree Fort

Rafael brought home another artwork he painted in school. He told me that this is a "tree fort" or tree house. I am proud that he got the artistic side in me. I like it how he posts his works on the walls of his room and not let anyone touch or removed it. It proves that he values his works and he's also proud of himself.

iPad With Love

My mom and dad never failed to show how much they love their grandkids. That's why when Rafael asked his Dada for an iPad, my dad didn't hesitate to say yes.

 they love it!

 they were both enjoying!

Much mom and dad :) This was the best Christmas gift ever!
