9,855..

is the amount of days I have been here on earth! I am in my late twenties! UGH it hurts to write that. One of my biggest fears is growing old.. silly right? I am thankful for all 9,855 days and looking forward for the next 365 days in 2007.

I want to thank my Mom & Dad, my family and friends for supplying me with unconditional love, I am one lucky girl. I want to thank the lord above for his undying love and for my health, even though I am not in the best of shape at the moment; I am healthy and will be thriving to become a healthier person.

My Son who has made the past 2 and a half years of my life so full love, laughter and meaning, seriously there is no other pleasure than watching your child blossom. I am so grateful for him.

My Husband who loves and does so much for me all with good intentions. I love you, you are my friend, my love, my partner- and yes we argue but it wouldn't be the same if we didn't.

My Family & Friends,

You make my heart grow three sizes big each day. All the Carrizo's, Polonia's, Lopez's, Duran's, Pillado's- I LOVE YOU!!!

My Sisters - Carol, Nathaly & Janice - I love you girls sooo much your support and love for me is irreplaceable.

Samantha- I am at a lost for words, you are my rock, my confidant, thank you.

My Boo's y'all know who you are (E, P, K, D, A, J & J) - LAUGHTER - I get enough of it when you are all around me! Love you Ladies!! (initials in no particular order).

My Mother in Law- She does so much for me, she supplies my son with TLC everyday, I couldn't ask for more. She doesn't complain- just gives and gives- She's incredible

It's has been a great year!! Let 2007 come with more happiness and health!

Here's to my 27th B-Day!!

Happy B-Day to ME!!

X-Mas is over...

X-Mas was great the kids had a blast! This was the first year that Daniel grasped what was going on. He got so many toys as did my nephews and niece! Very spoiled I can't believe how spoiled he is!

I got a bunch of stuff for my scrapbooking studio!! YAH!! I can't wait to assemble it all.

Of course we had tons of food on the 24th, all of Danny's family was there and it was actually the quietest X-Mas Eve ever! Danny had to work the next day so he went to bed early and it seemed like no one had energy to dance after we opened all the gifts.

Again I had tons of food on the 25th! My mom cooked so much, I love breakfast on the 25th my mom makes arepas con queso and chorizo with a huge mug of hot chocolate it's the BEST!!! my mom's house this year was packed all of my uncles and my aunts and grandma went, it was nice to see my mom's siblings and also nice to see my cousins, especially Eric who came with his girlfriend! My son was so happy he hugged everyone and said thank you to each person after opened his gifts.

I also headed to see my boo's for our annual Secret Santa! I was there for only a little while but it was nice to see all of my girls at x-mas!

Tomorrow is my b-day nothing planned as yet-my gift from Danny is a gym membership (not as fun as last year's gift) 2007 is the year I get back into shape.

I know I know pics are missing!! I will post X-Mas pics soon and I will also do a 2006 photo recap!

One Year Blogiversary

I think I will make a new years resolution to blog a bit more often..

Thanks for reading my blog and please post a comment once in a while!

Busy Creating

Hi!!! Been busy at work and also creating layouts by night! For some reason my mojo is at it's best at 3 a.m!!

Here is one on Daniel


Here are two on me..





YAH! Not much going on here.. looking at homes on the weekends, this weekend though is going to be jammed packed with fun stuff!! My Friend Michael is getting married on Friday and my Best Friend Janice is have a fun b-day night on Sat!! Can't wait! Should have a ton of pics next week!

Cool Stuff!

Hey Ya'll I have been banging out some cool pages these last couple of days.
Finally scrapped D's 2nd B-Day 2 pages:
















Here is one I did on my girlfriends:









I also find myself dreaming of my scrapbook studio in my new home(not that I have a new home but a girl can dream)I found these three items that were cheap and half priced on-line I couldn't resist so I brought them for my future scrapbook studio! I purchased the desk top items and the photo screen in the lime green color!I got four of the storage cubes.






































What color should I paint my studio?? I am thinking the colors will be bold like magenta, electric blue, lime green, tangarine and white to bring it all together..What do you think???

I will post the other layouts tomorrow

Suburban Soccer Mom?

YAH.. I am now offically a LI resident no more city! I now work and live in Long Island. Kinda of sad but good. I am the new girl it's day four and I want to go back to JB FAST.. I'll get use to it though with time, I guess. Nothing great to write about. Have been busy with the new job and the moving! I hate moving and to know that this isn't going to be the last move irrates me more, the bonus of the next move is that it will be to my own home! So ready for that and can't wait till it happens, Danny and I are currently pinching every penny possible. I scrapped Daniel's 2nd B-Day pics finally and will try to post them tomorrow.

Well that's all folks.. Told you not much to talk about..

Family

I have been a bad blogger. I have been busy forgive me. I have a very emotional story. My Space who would've thought? I have two sets of cousins in my life that I have know since birth, my cousin's from my mother side Eric and Joe and my cousin's from my father side Nelson and Arleen. Eric and Joe have always lived in NY but Nelson and Arleen moved to Miami when they were young and they came to NY every summer until my uncle passed away in 1994. I didn't see them again until the summer of 1998 and after that we lost touch. Until two weeks ago Thursday, I was bored at work and decided I would search my space for my cousins they are young enough to know about my space so I typed in Nelson Carrizo and up popped my cousin's page! CRAZY!! We will never lose touch again. It's funny because we all spoke and picked up right where we had left off and it made no difference that we hadn't seen each other in eight years that's family. I had a buddy pass and immediately sent it to my cousin and she spent 10 days in NY and I wish I would've had more time with her but work and family responsibility got in the way. We did things that I should've been doing like visiting my uncle's grave, I had not visited his grave since they last came and it brought back so many old memories of my uncle. We cried and we laughed and we reconnected as a family, and I think that this was my uncle's doing, I know that if I pass and Kaylie, Franklyn, David and Daniel lose touch I would be heartbroken and would want them to find one another.

We take our families for granted, and we should enjoy every chance we get to spend with them beacuse they are ties to who we are, where we came from and I couldn't be happier because I found them.

So this post in memory of My Uncle:

On the move

I seriously have no time to update my blog and I apologize!!! We are in the process of moving and work is just so busy. Today I have great news though!! On Friday I GOT A CAR!!! So I am very excited its my first car and its all mine!! Since we are moving to Long Island I need a car to commute to work. I am so happy!! Here is a picture of my cute car its a 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R these pics are not of my actual car but I will post pics of my baby "Celine" later:















My Celine has a little visor on the sunroof.. it makes her look a little thugged out.. she is the same color only thing is the interior is grey not black and not leather... but I love her!! I wanted something a little bigger but I like the fact that its small too.


We had a blast at the poconos's!! Nothing's better than food, friends, music, liquor and laughter.. and the Kids had madd fun.. A deer came to our yard looking for food I had never been so close to a wild animal: Here is Delia the Deer:



The Guys


The Girls


Quick Post I will post more Photos later

Exactly!!

Not feeling in the greatest of moods today, not sure where my happiness lies and not sure how and what to do to change it, came across these quotes and they rang so true to how I feel.. just wish I had the guts to make the choice I have to make. Not that I care about what others think but I need to make myself happy..but what will make me happy?? Such a tough question...

Every day, passion speaks to us through our feelings. that's why when you allow yourself to become anesthetized by what others think, you literally block yourself from living the life you were called to live. I promise you that if you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart -- the people who truly love you want you to love yourself. and as you become clearer about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you -- the first time around. - Oprah Winfrey

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. -Steve Jobs

Love the second quote so much!!

Lately

I've been so busy that I haven't had the chance to blog! I will update on some of the things I've been doing. The day after Daniel's BBQ my friend Lissette invited all the cruise couples and our other friends that couldn't make it to her house to see the video and eat and have fun so the weekend before that Lissette and I got together and decided to make something for all the couples who went on the trip...First, a little on Lissette- If you guys think I am creative you have not met Lissette together we make a great team! We have some things we want to do and I will keep you updated with details as we get things started. I wish I would've taken a picture of all the vases together we also made trinket boxes that I have to take pictures of. Here is what we made for the couples

I've been scrapping like crazy but haven't been able to scan my layouts I think I need a new Scanner!

Daniel's 2nd Birthday BBQ

We had a little family BBQ and invited my little neighbors to enjoy some burgers and hot dogs last Saturday. My Mom came over and so did Danny's aunt and cousins. It was nice. It was nothing like last year's party this year I had to keep it low key cause we did spend a pretty penny on the cruise. So here are pics of Daniel's 2nd B-Day BBQ.

The Construction Cake-


The Kids- The two little girls without hard hats came over unexpectedly (they are my neighbors cousins but live in Mass! I felt so bad cause I only bought enough for 7 kids-


The B-Day Boy-


Proud Parents-


Kaylie and Daniel Dancing-


It was a fun day! Next Year I will do a big bbq!! On Sunday Lissette hosted the cruise video party at her home and being the creative geniuses that we are we made each couple photo vases and trinket boxes that I will have to take pictures of to post they came out so nice! I forgot my camera that night so I have no pics!! Then on Monday Lissette and I the Kids and Telly went to the Beach it was great!! After I got back from the Beach, Sam picked me up and I meet up with Danny at Milly's were we ate and laughed and watched the last cruise video!! This weekend won't be so fun packed I have a ton of laundry to do!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Daniel!

Birthday Boy in the Morning


Daniel,

My little football today you turn two!! I can not believe how fast these two years have gone by you have filled our home with that beautiful smile and happiness. May the lord bless you on this special day and always. You are such a smart boy, you have lots to learn and I hope you keep discovering and playing to learn all there is to know. Your dad and I love you very much and wish you the best 2nd birthday ever.

At this time two years ago you were still inside of my belly just waiting for the right moment to come in to this world, Mommy was scared and happy but also very much in pain and her Doctor was no where to be found!! At 10:28 pm yes Mommy was very patient your dad and I heard the most beautiful sound ever!! Your little screech and we knew that our lives would never be the same and we wouldn't trade it for the world.



Love you mucho hijo lindo!!

*Happy Anniversary Babe*

Danny,

Today marks 3 years since we said "I do", These past three years have brought us closer than ever we have transitioned from newlyweds to parenthood and have still managed to be friends, lovers and our worst enemies at times. I love you for all that you are good and bad. This year is also our 9th year together, I can't believe it, we have sure proved a lot of haters wrong. I would embark on this roller coaster ride again if given the chance, I have learned so much from you.

Thank you babe for everything and here's to our love may be eternal.


Now where's my GIFT???? hee hee hee ACHOUPGRADEACHO..

I am Back!!!

Crazy,Awesome,Fun,Relaxing,Phenomenal- a couple of words to describe how our cruise went. We had such a great blend of couples and we were sad to see it end. This was an experience that will never be forgotten. We had fun from begining to end even though we went cave tubing in Belize the entire trip was GREAT!!! We have to do the group thing again!!

Highly recommend cruising with friends in a large group!!! Especially when everyone vibes the exact same way!! I couldn't have asked for a better vacation than this one.

Thanks to Alexa & Kev, Milly & Ronnie, Lissette & Telly, Sari & George, Samantha & Franklyn for putting up with Danny's crazy antics but also for being such amazing friends!!!

Will Miss U

5

Days closer to drinking some pina coladas in the sun. I am so excited I can't contain it! Danny and I packed most things yesterday and I went to get the little things taken care of today. I have to prepare all of Daniel's things as well so he can be comfortable with his grandma! My mom took a week off to take care of my little man!

Sam and I went to get our brazilian wax done yesterday and we are as soft as a baby's tushy! We also had the kids with us and we went out to eat and were worn out by the time we got home. Now all I need to do is get my nails, toes and eyebrows done on Saturday and I am good to go!

Here are a couple of pics from this weekend:

Daniel

Franklyn

David

I got my hair done..

Just thought I'd share I did like my really golden blonde locks before but my hair was looking dry and brittle so I decided to go a little less golden and a bit more ashy blonde with nice highlights for my cruise!! Here are pics that the hairdresser took of me!

Please ignore the no make-up ghost looking face!



Back


Have Great Easter Weekend!

Que lo Que

Not that anyone cares since I haven't seen comments in a bit but I know who's been READING!! had a nice weekend, Danny's cousin Raidy came to hang out at the house with her beautiful daughter! Here's a pic of Daniel and Amlesdy


I chilled with my girlies on Saturday and let Gabriela feed us! Yo Gabby gets down in the kitchen! Here's a pic of that night!


Then Danny picked us up and we went to Milly's house to watch the Mayweather vs. Judas fight, The boys enjoyed it the girls were too busy chatting away to care, Milly and I kept talking about the cruise! Countdown is 18 days!!! I was able to take some nice pregnancy pics of Stephanie & Anthony: Here is a pic of Stephanie and baby..She would kill me if she saw this but I think she looks BEAUTIFUL and she can flaunt that belly man!! So Steph if you read this YOU LOOK AMAZING don't kill me!


On Sunday Danny and I went you guessed it CRUISE SHOPPING!! Yeah got a couple of cute things. I haven't posted much lately cause there's not much going on...Can you believe my baby boy will turn 2 in a month and 12 days,I wish he could just stay little.


Gotta get these printed so I can scrapbook, I have been void of scrapbooking inspiration! Haven't done a page for awhile.

That's all for now..

What's up Eh?

Yeah picked up a little canadian accent! Coming to ya'll live from my 30th Floor Deluxe Suite overlooking the Niagara Falls!! I left my Rebel!! SOOOO upset but I bought a disposable camera.. The Off-Site is great its going off without a hitch everyone is thanking me for putting it together! WHEW... This past weekend was AWESOME!! On Saturday Danny and I went to his co-worker's wife's b-day party..It was cool Raj and his Wife are West Indian so we danced a little calypso and soca. We didn't stay long and we decided that we didn't want to go back home right away. So we went dancing to El Rancho Jubilee and had fun, we felt a little overdressed but we had a great time. We had not gone dancing alone in years, it was fun. Sunday Sam and I packed the kids in her van and headed to Funtopia for a little b-day party.. LORD what a headache the kids enjoy themselves at places like these but they are just way too crowded and not enough for adults to do. I did manage to get some nice shots of the kiddos!

This weekend I will be heading down to the City trying to hit up Canal Street, The Fashion District and Broadway with Lissette to do a little Cruise Shopping!! Some fake Gucci Sunglasses, Cute Cocktail Dress.. Should be fun!

Okay Peace Out Heading to tour the Falls!!

37

Days till I am on the Carnival Valor!! I am so excited !!! I have been shopping like a mad woman. On the work front I am so busy, really can't get things done in 8 hours and with the up coming off-site it will be worse since I won't be in the office for 3 days. I planned this off-site and the ones that know me know how much I love to plan!! I planned a dinner at a winery a dinner at the Minolta tower and a Niagara Highlights tour, we will be able to enjoy a journey behind the falls! I plan on taking a ton of pictures! So exciting!!! Other than the dinners and the tour I will basically be the "can you get me this" person. Oh well..

I plan on scrappin tonight my sister is picking Daniel up to spend sometime with him and I get to have the evening all to myself!! Pure Heaven!! not that I want Daniel away all the time but it feels good to have family that wants to see him and play with him once in awhile.

Enjoy your weekends!!

My Family & My Friends

So my weekend was wonderful!! Danny, Daniel and I spent Saturday out and about Daniel had a doctors appointment and got five shots, poor baby!! We then took the little dude to Chucky E. Cheese first off I WILL never step foot in that place again! UGH! Its the only one in Queens so the place is jammed pack we waited in line for about 30 minutes and lasted about 45 minutes in the place! TOO CROWDED and WAY TOO GHETTO! Here are pics of that day..



Yesterday we celebrated Elle's 27th B-Day! Priti had all of us over and we ate and talked and laughed and had a great time!!! I love my girls they make me laugh and get crazy, they remind me of how fun it is to be free to be me and just not worry about anything, my girls each one crazy in their own way.. I love them and wouldn't trade them for anything!




That's all for now...

It's Friday

Hey Ya'll,

Nothing much going on here, just a re-cap of my week, Last weekend was FUN! Danced my butt off with my hubby and had a great time my nephew was baptized on Sunday and Sam & Frank had a small reception after the baptism that was really nice here are some pics of the baptism! I need to get my face in front of my darn camera!!



My Beautiful Nephew David












Proud Parents Sam & Frank












My Family










I uploaded the shower pics on my pc at home and well I am on my pc at work right now so I will need to upload those pics later plus I have not one pic of hubby and I (darn it need a tripod BABE BAD anniversary gift please??). Well I will be heading to Buffalo and Canada on March 28th back home on the 30th another TEAM OFF-SITE... Cool.. The not so cool part that my hubby will sleep alone those two nights but that's one country and another state I can add to my list of travels! HA! It's nice working for an airline company...

Well I am OUTTA HERE CHECK THE NEW PROFILE PIC ;-)

Nothing exciting

Well nothing much going on here. I am in a blah state need some inspiration to get some weight off and to just feel better about myself in everything I do. It's one of those days were I need a wake up call. I feel so insecure about my weight even more now that I know I will be going on vacation, about my duties as a mom, as a wife, in my work and well I am in a funk.

I did however scrap two pages on Monday!! Finally got X-Mas scrapped and I got a nice page of Daniel and his Uncle who is his ONLY uncle!! He has 4 aunts and one uncle! LOL!

We are going to have a fun weekend!! Whoo Hoo!! I need to dance and drink and just bug out with friends. Our friend Anthony is expecting his first child and their shower is this Friday. Friday is also my brother-in-law's 31st B-Day!! WHOO HOOO!!! So we plan to dance Friday night away!! Not too sure what we will do on Saturday but if I dance the way I want to on Friday then Saturday will be a nice relaxing day!

That's all for now.

I am back....

What's up my people! So these past two weeks have been pretty crazy and I haven't had the time to post on here and I apologize. I had a ton of things hit me at once and well that needed my full attention. So count down to the cruise is 60 Days till we sail!!! WHOO HOO I plan on eating mints for lunch during these 60 days I swear!! I hit the gym last night and it felt good! GOTTA lose at least 20 pounds before we leave. Any one know a good diet pill/crash diet plan?? If I had the money I swear I'd go and do some lipo! Okay I am exaggerating, It's so damn hard to lose my baby gut, Damn kid! 9 pounds 20 inches long and he streched out my tummy all the way to Florida..grr..

So here are some pics of the body destroyer and My Nephew David we took them to get their first "real haircuts" and I think they look adorable!!



Here is Kaylie the monkey jumping on her bed isn't she a cutie
(pic inspired by Marie Cox)


I ordered this pics yesterday and can't wait to get them! I have been in a scrapbooking rut these past two weeks and need some inspiration aka: means I need to spend money on some new supplies!

Well peeps that's all I have for today!

The Day of LOVE...

I think its pretty silly, dedicate just one day to tell someone you love them, Danny and I use to celebrate this day and go all out but not anymore its just a waste I know he loves me and he knows I love him, there's no need to spend money on over priced roses and sweets. I still go out and buy a little something for him even though I find it silly. In honor of the day of love I created a page of the two loves in my life:




Well this years actual present is a 7 day Carnival Cruise in April!!! WHOO HOO We have to pay off the balance tomorrow and what's even more exciting is that we are going with a group of friends Sam & Frank, Lissette & Telly, Milly & Ronnie, Kevin & Alexa, Cynthia & Chris and we are going to have FUN! Belize, Roatan Island, Grand Cayman & Costa Maya HERE WE COME!!!! Do you think I can lose 50 pounds before April 30th??? LORD!!

Daniel and Kaylie

These pics are from last Monday - I was suppose to be at work and called out sick and Carol was suppose to be at school but played hookie at MY HOUSE! So we took the kids to McDonald's. Love Days like these!
