Lately...

This might be a short post! I promise! LOL (emphasis on MIGHT) Just wanted to kinda give you the recent happs goin on here on my side of town!


  • The Kiddies are enjoying their new school Hillview Crest. Their last day will be June 12th. And I am MOST excited how LONG of a summer break they're gonna have since it's the 1st time they've ever been on traditional school year vs year around. So I am pretty juiced to do some traveling w the kids (BIG hopefully & fingers & toes crossed) & doing tons of fun summer things together as a family!
  • It's been 6 months since being on our own here in Union City. It's still quite lonely, honestly, bc I don't have immediate family at my every beckon call, like I did back in San Mateo, but it's a great thing to branch out & expand my box more! Thankfully I attend an awesome sweet ward & I am able to make friends easily ;) The people here are sweet, generous, welcoming & always willing to help! I love it!  I still feel overwhelmed with pure joy that we still have our own spot! I am DEF LOVIN' every second of it!!!
  • My Hubby is back to scaffolding again! I swear, HF def works in mysterious ways & will answer our prayers ALWAYS on his time & not ours! Even though we wish & wish it was on our time ;) His body is def takin' its toll since it's been a 2year break from the hard grueling labor work. But I am ever so grateful for my  hard working man that will do anything & everything to provide for his family ;) I am truly blessed!
  • My Micah has been back & forth to San Mateo or here every week. My inlaws baby & spoil that kid, so to him, has 2 homes not 1 he said to me recently. I thought that was absolutely cute! I feel so lucky when it comes to my kids. They get LOVE from everywhere. I feel blessed to have an amazing relationship w my inlaws, that I am able to have my kids spend weekends there just so they can see their Grandparents & my angel sis in law & her hubby. And then they're able to go to my Dad's & see aunts & uncles & cousins. Just truly blessed I tell ya! Since we're in the east bay now, we have to do San Mateo trips only on the weekends :) But it if were up to my kids, it be everyday! But I told them if they can pay for gas, then we can go :0) LOL
  • I started a clinical medical assisting program! I know, I am still in disbelief myself! LOL It's called Boston Reed College. I go to the Adult School here which is down the street from me. There's about 11 students & our instructor is super cool. We meet twice a week, Mon & Wed from 6pm-9pm. Then we do some online work, workbook, watch videos, learn the medical terminology for every module & quizzes every module. It's pretty challenging. Life is A BALANCING ACT for sure since I started. I have to find time to clean, laundry, study, do homework, cook, spend time w hubby,  grocery shopping, clean again, spend time w the kiddies besides being home. School is def not as easy. I mean it's been almost 8 years since high school! LOL It's about a 20 week program that is crammed w all kinds of things! So I really need to STAY FOCUSED! I'm pretty excited about everything & the timing of it all. Just grateful for the opportunity to go back to school & fulfill one of my all time dreams & work in the medical field. I just know that if I try & do my best, everything will work out in the end :)
  • Father's Day is coming up. I have some ideas what to get hubby. But he can CARE LESS of course! He HATES gifts for him! I wish I was more like him! LOL He just thinks they're  a waste of $! But not in my book. I think everyone deserves something nice once in a while. Especially for my Hubby, I always go out of my way for his Bday & Father's Day THAT MUCH MORE bc he doesn't care.  He ends up loving it anyway :)        
          
         Ok, I think we're pretty caught up on my end! I can't wait for summer & all the functions, the family times, the memories, the hot hot hot weather......YAY! 


Love you & thanks for reading! Enjoy your day xo

Vinyl at it's EASIEST!

Wow 3 entries in one day? What a record! Now I remember why I love blogging so much! Lol

So again in my previous post I got my stickers in the mail for my walls :)

I knew where I was gonna put them before I ordered them. So this went up first.

It was very meticulous peeling off the paper & making sure the letters stuck to the wall! And it Did! This was a very quick easy craft & I loved it!

It's kind of crooked, but it was my first time dealing w this transfer thingy stuff. So next time I do it, I'll be prepared :)

CRAFT NIGHT!!

Yay! I AM ALIVE I swear! I've just been lagging mixed with Mommy duties. But I hope to be more better in the upcoming weeks!

So, I have been lagging on my empty walls in my home. It's still ALL pretty white. But I have some things up to help my poor walls out! Lol

On the opposite side of the Love Quote picture wall has been an empty space. I planned to do this cute idea I saw on pinterest.

One Friday night I was kid free! So that was my chance to get this project out of my hair!

So here are my supplies:
-3 9x12 canvases (I wish I got them smaller to fulfill the pinterest idea!)
-paint of your choice
-foam brush
-photo adhesive
-3 photos
-ribbon of your choice

Because my photos were 8x12, I had an inch around the pictures that'll show the white canvas. So I painted the edges brown along w an inch (or more! Lol) of paint on the canvas.

When paint dries fully, spray the back of your picture w the spray adhesive. Wait a couple minutes then center picture on canvas.

Before I hung them up. I hung some ribbon first! Then placed the canvases over the ribbon.

If I had more room (hence is why I should've picked a smaller canvas size but I was too excited to care at the time!) I was supposed add a cute small bow right above Isaiah's picture. But I guess this will do :)

So now my left wall looks compete :)

That was fun!

Helping Son

I was very lucky to have my Micah help me fold laundry since I had a ton to fold 

He was so helpful & excited!

Love their innocent sweet spirit & his willing to help 

Love my babies
