Good bye 2009 and HELLO 2010

2009 - what a year! I have to say I am glad to see it go... time for new adventures and new memories! Let's see 2009 was filled with love, happines, laughter, family,  tears and coach :) hee... pretty cool to get so many this year, but still not as important...Tomas and I grew closer and more in love, I feel, than ever before. I feel us getting stronger and stronger as each day goes by. I love my babe. and i don't ever want to celebrate a new year without him. I love you babe! I really do :) You have made this year so great. I know we've had our moments of sadness, and tears, but look at us now, you know? I feel that those sad moments have made us so much stronger...and closer than before. I just hope this year we have less tears and more cheers :) haha, so lame I know, but that's what I want. I want us to continue to move forward and make our bond way stronger than ever. I want us to ring in each new year together and with our monkeys. I hope we continue to have lunch dates together when we can, and I hope we continue to spend some days off together without the kids...love those days! :) You have made me laugh so hard this year...you are super funny to me and you are just so much fun to hang out with... I love laughing with you.

Hopefully in  2010 we can have more date nights with my inlaws and our friends. They are all great people and am really lucky to have them in my life. Hopefully we can even start our STARBUCKS girls night out thing, heehee... it was fun the last few times we did, so I think we should continue...My friends have been great! We need more nights out together chicks! thank you all for being there for me this year and every year since I've known ya. Ya truly are great friends to have!


I have started hanging out with my aunts and cousins...I've missed them so much. in 2010 they will be seeing more of us for sure. Unfortunately, I decided to cut some of my family out of my life, but it's whats best for me. I love my mom dearly, but she's just too much drama for me. Yes, my kids miss her, but if she won't call or come to see them for their birthdays and be a drama queen about it, then screw her, you know. My kids deserve to have family that loves them and that will make them happy, not people who forget their birthdays or decide not to call them because they're mad with me... I've tried too many times at working on my relationship with my mother, but it always backfires. I'm tired of being let down and disappointed. I'm tired of crying about it. I have my family, who is there for me and our kids- they're all I need and I'll be alright. it sucks, but I'm not going to cry about it...just have to keep moving on and be happy with what I do have in my life - a great husband, some funny monkeys, and great extended families on both sides :)

My kids, wow - how much they change every year still amazes me... they are so awesome, so funny and becoming their own person. Alyssa is just growing up so fast. She got glasses almost two weeks ago, and she looks so much older now. Pretty soon she'll be a teenager - AGH! really not looking forward to it, but will still try and enjoy seeing her grow into her own...She really is getting into this whole singing thing. She sings ALL the time now...last night she was singing while playing with her toys and she started singing louder and louder...it was cool to hear her be so confident in her singing. She even tries to do the long endings like Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys... it's great to listen to...I think she might have singing lessons this year - YAY! :) I know she'll like that alot...

Tommy - my prankster and funny man. He's starting to becoming more of a jokester each day...he can make you laugh so hard a lot of the times. He's there to hug and kiss you to make you feel better. I learned that I can never cry infront of him - he'll start to cry with me and I don't want to see him cry. he's more sensitive than Lyssa, which is okay. I like that he likes to cuddle and hug. He started Karate this year, so he's learning how to use force and to stick up for himself. we're thinking of putting him in the same DOJO as Damien in the summer. I think he'll be better prepared for it now. and he still wants to play football, so I might have a little linebacker on my hands, hee...

2010 is going to be more awesome than ever before...for me, my husband and our kids! I'm determined to make 2010 and each year after better than the last! I'm ready for 2010!

It's Christmas time!!!

It's Christmas time...yes, the most wonderful time of the year! I really do love Christmas..there's nothing better than shopping for my kiddos and my babe! Thank goodness I'm done with all of it though...well accept for my gift. But I'm pretty sure I've figured out what I want - a new Coach purse (duh, right?) or a new coffee table :) I can't wait for Christmas though...I can't wait for my kids to open up all there presents - they're pretty awesome this year :) They're going to be so happy and excited and I just want to sit back and watch their reactions and see those huge gorgeous smiles on their faces...it's going to be so much fun!!!
