FUN WITH CHUCKEE CHEESE

Last month November 24,08 Ralph decided he would take both kids out. First it was suppose to be Kaitlyn and Daddy date so i could get Kaitlyn out of the house while i put the house in order in preparation for the coming Thanksgiving holiday. He didn't wake up early enough and decided instead to take both kids Kayla and Kaitlyn to Chuckee Cheese. A daddy-daughter date out with just him and his girls, no mama around. I said yes since it will be my chance to straighten up the house without worrying and getting distracted. However i changed my mind, I was afraid that daddy might not be able to handle both girls at chuckee cheese and he wont be able to bond with Kayla since she will be going back to her mommy's the following day and we wouldn't see her until the next Sunday. The last time we went there was when Kaitlyn was only 3-5 months old. It was different this time, she could walk and play with other kids there. She liked it so much and enjoyed going on the carousel ride. Anyway here are some pictures of the girls..

THE GIFT OF GIVING AND PRESERVING

How many of us are going nuts thinking about what to give our friends or family. We want to give something that is unique yet memorable. Giving expectant parents baby clothes, crib, stroller and many more is very common and not out of the ordinary. Wouldn't it be neat to give someone the gift of life or the chance at a second life? With Cryo-Cell as a gift for relatives or friends that are expecting, this will give them the gift of preserving life and the chance to save a life. Why is this a great gift for expectant parents? With the arrival of the new addition to a family the new parents can save there child's stem sells found in cord blood of a newborn infant. Its both safe for mother and child and the service is done by very capable, and qualified professionals. They can store and save the stem cells and use it when a that child or a family member gets sick from diseases. One of the few benefits for the Cryo-Cell is the treatment of diseases like anemia, leukemia, diabetes, cerebral palsy and lymphoma. It could not only save the life of a child but the life of a parent or relative as well. Life is to precious and with this we can do our part to help protect and preserve a life of a loved one.

BABY LOVES FOOD

Kaitlyn has not a single tooth in her mouth but yet she enjoys the finest things in life, food. She started eating baby food when she was only 3 months old and now that she is 13 months old she has been wanting to eat big person food. She would only eat baby foods that are fruits but the rest she wants the big girl food. She enjoys toast, spaghetti, fish, chicken, meat and just about anything that constitute food. Its funny how baby's get so messy eating food and how much they enjoy it eating it as well as wearing it. Here are some pictures of Kaitlyn eating.

KEEPING IT COOL

Having kids and travelling with them is hard enough as it is. You don't put them in a car that has no working air conditioning in the scorching hot summer sun. You parents know what i mean, they get cranky and the crying starts. You don't want to be stuck driving for how many minutes with a child in a warm or hot car. Its better to have a well ventilated and cool car while going on for a ride in a car with good working AC. That is why its important to check your A/C compressor. With my two kids they get so warm right away and its important to have a well maintained Air conditioning unit in the car. If your worried that they wont have the parts to you car, don't. 1airconditioning has the widest selection of Air Conditioning Compressors, Air Conditioning condenser, and other AC parts. They also offer a warranty of everything, free shipment and online and phone support system. Check out there website and find out for yourself.

WONDER OF TECHNOLOGY

Isn't it amazing that we have so much technology at our hands? Like for example the Internet, it allows us to communicate to our loved ones and friends from all over the globe. I specially love the voice calls and the web cam, i get to see my family on a daily basis and get to talk to them without having to pay for any phone bill. Just this morning my grandfather arrived at my mom and i talked to him online. I knew my aunt missed my grandfather so much so i decided to call her on the land line and tried to put it on speaker to see if she and my grandfather can hear each other. And it worked, they talked for a long time. My grandfather on the Internet way back in the Philippines while my aunt is on the phone in Chicago. Isn't technology simply amazing?

COOL RIDE

Having a husband who loves riding a motorcycle i hear a lot of things about what would make there ride look more cool. Ralph's brother Larry just bought a new motorcycle and he is looking into getting new accessories for his new love. All he needs is the right accessories to make his biker look be complete and i just found a way for him. I bet his bike would look amazing with harley davidson parts even though his ride isn't one. They have it all from Chrome accessories, to seats, to windshield, even alarms, locks and covers. If he wants his motorcycle to look and feel like a Harley Davidson RealHog is the place to get them.

MY FASHIONISTA

Even though we really didn't have to go out to get the milk, burger rolls, and bread we still braved the cold since Kaitlyn really wants to go out. She has been pointing to her jacket and wanting to go ba-byes. I felt so sorry for her, MIL volunteer to get the stuff while we stayed at home but we opted to go with her so at least Kaitlyn can get outside. I dressed her up in her new hand-me-down outfits from her cousins. We were just going to be out for a little bit but still i dressed her up really good. While we were at Walmart she walked like she own the whole place, she didn't care if there were people waiting behind her to pass,heheheh.. They all thought she was adorable, to bad i forgot to bring her harness so she could have walked more in the store. Next time ill be sure to bring it with me.

DRIVING SAFE

Thanks to steering rack our traveling will go without a hitch. It will not only protect and make driving safer but its affordable to all consumers like us.

SWARM OR MIGRATION?

Since its winter there are a lot of changes not just for us humans but also for animals. Some animals hybernate and some migrate to other warmer climate. Just about 2 hours ago MIL called me in the family room and pointed outside the deck and out backyard. The backyard was swarming with black birds and so were the trees. It was everywhere not just in our backyard but also our nieghbours. It was kind of scary since you see horror movies that birds swarm and they kill. The birds would fly off and then land on the ground, trees or rooftop again and again. It was like they were in separate groups. The first group would land and eat for a minute then they would take off to the sky then the next bacth would land again. That went on for about 5 minutes. I got scared thinking it was a bad sign or a omen of some sort then i got to thinking, that its already winter so the birds are probably starting to migrate. It was
beautiful to watch but scary, it gave me goosebumps. It was my first time to see birds that many. the three lights you see in the pictures is not flying saucer or alien craft but the reflection of out lights on the glass door.

HIS SWEETNESS

My husband is a very busy man but yet he doesnt forget to write me small notes or bring little somethings for me. Just the other week he was working so long and barely had time to see us. He would call and tell us how he missed us and wish he was not working so he could spend time with us. One day he came home early and we were still sleeping, when we woke up and came downstairs i found the note for the girls on the kitchen tabel. I was a little sad that he didnt include me in the note. When i went to fix Kayla breakfast i noticed something on the counter,it was for me from him. He didnt forget me, he got me something i really like, donuts at Wawa. After walking Kayla to the bus stop i went up to kiss him and say thank you for remembering us and for being so sweet. We love you so much daddy!!!

GOTCHA!

Kaitlyn is already 13 months old and she is a handful. She gets into her little mischief mood and would just make a mess of the whole playroom and the family room. She would take out all her toys and throw it around, open my cabinet containing all plastic bowl Tupperware and just scatter them around the kitchen. One minute she is with you the next you cant find her. Its when she is so quiet that we worry coz we know she is doing something. And i caught her in one of her in the act of getting into the cabinet full of pots and pans. This was morning of Thanksgiving before everyone arrived at the house and mom and I were busy getting things in order. Both mom and I took a break and watched a little t.v and sat down in the family room when i noticed that Kaitlyn was missing and was so quiet. I knew she was doing something so i went on a hunt to look for her and behold, i caught her in the act trying to get into the pots and pan cabinet. She has a surprised guilty look about her face. My little trouble maker!

3 HOURS OF SHOPPING OR WINDOW SHOPPING?

I went to the Christiana Mall for the first time ever. I didn't get to go yesterdays black Friday since i had family visiting and we got so tired and full from eating. They left late yesterday and i miss them already. Kaitlyn has been a little under the weather lately and yesterday she had a slight fever which we blame on maybe her teeth coming out. This morning she still had a slight fever so she didn't come with me since MIL volunteered to watch her. They dropped me off at the mall shortly before 12 noon. MIL told me to take my time and just look around and make sure i buy something for myself. I had hubby's card but i didn't go ballistic and just buy anything i want. After 3 hrs. I finally called MIL and i heard the baby crying in the background and so cranky, i told her to pick me up at the same place they dropped me off. When i go in the car MIL was a little bit peeved why i only bought 3 items,hehehe.. She wanted me to buy stuff for myself and not worry about the cost for once. I told her i didn't want to spend to much and go overboard but i did buy a dress for me, shoes for Kayla and jumper snowsuit for Kaitlyn. I felt guilty though coz Kaitlyn was running a high fever when we got home. Her fever spiked up to 102.6 her face was so flushed and her eyes watery. Thank God she is doing much better now, ill have to keep a close eye on her tonight and keep checking her temperature.

PIGS ABOUND

The Roasted Pig is often seen in Filipino gatherings or party back home in the Philippines and even here abroad. If there is a filipino there will always be Roasted Pig or what we bisaya call " inasal " tagalog call " lechon ". I missed the lechon so bad the first time i came here. Luckily i go invited to one of my friends party. They had "inasal" and my did i eat like a pig, pardon the pun. The crisp outer skin of the pig dipped in vinegar with chopped onions and garlic. The rib is the best part and the tastiest of all. The left over meats,and skins can be cooked again this time with vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, a little soy sauce and oil. Makes me hungry thinking about it.Im off to the kitchen for now, ill be eating the rest of the Thanksgiving dinner.
