HER ANTICS

Kaitlyn turned 15 months yesterday and boy is she a handful. She gets into everything and its just drives me nuts. As she is growing she is becoming more adventurous, funny, temperamental and without fear. Yesterday Kayla was in the dinning room playing with her laptop while i was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Suddenly i hear Kayla saying that the baby is on the table, I just thought that she was under or by the table but when i got there she was on top of the table sitting facing her sister. I asked Kayla who put baby sister there and said nobody.I asked again who put baby sister on the chair so she could have climbed up the table and again Kayla replied nobody. Kaitlyn climbed on the chair and onto the table all by herself without any help. Now that her legs a bit longer she has been into climbing now and ill have to keep a close eye on her.

TO A GREAT MAN, MY GRANDFATHER

Tomorrow will be my grandfather's 78th birthday. My mom and sister are still in my hometown since my grandmother's sister was buried just Monday and they decided to wait for my grandfather's birthday before going back home to Cebu. They will be having the famous roasting pig (inasal) for the birthday celebration tomorrow. How i wish i was there to celebrate with my grandfather. My maternal grandparents are so dear and close to my heart. They were the ones who were really there for us when times were tough. The strong hand when we needed discipline, the comforting arms when we needed it and always provided words of wisdom. They may not be rich in material possession like my paternal grandparents but they are more than rich in love, compassion and family. My grandfather is a strong man, he is not afraid to cry, to reach out for help, he is independent, loving and patient. He works his tail off on his lands and i am witness to that. To my grandfather i love you so much and you are my hero.

SHE HAS GROWN

This was Kayla two summers ago. Looking at this amazes me how much she has grown over the past years. She looked like a baby here compared to now. This at a carnival festivities in the city. She just loved going on that slide and only rode on some of the rides. She is so tan and beautiful here and still is. Our little baby before is now a Manang (big sister) and she is growing more beautiful each day. This was also the picture we provided to the school when she became student of the month when she was still in pre-k.

GUNS AND SAFES

As a wife of a Police Officer I not only worry about my husbands well being but also the safety of my little girls considering that there daddy carries and brings his service gun at home. I am in constant watch with my girls specially when they are in our bedroom. Hearing stories about children getting shot by father's guns or other children killed due to playing with guns, it not only makes me nervous but fearful for my girls safety. No matter how much you tell kids the danger of guns, they are still kids and will never get the full ramification if they did play or touch a gun. Now that our youngest is at the stage where she has to touch and play with everything we have to make sure that Hubby's Service gun is somewhere safe and out of her reach. Its about time that we start thinking and looking for top of the line Safesthat are out in the market. The thought of storing hubby's gun out of reach and in a Safe makes me breathe easier and more relaxed. The pistol safe by Maximum Security Safe is just about right for our needs which is functional and the firearm can easily be accessed by my husband. In today's world we have to be vigilant and mindful about everything specially if you have kids in the house.

WEIRD WHEN PREGNANT

Getting pregnant the first time was easy and quick. When we found out i was pregnant with Kaitlyn it was unexpected but an added blessing. During my pregnancy i got so sick and depressed which made my family here and back home worry. I was so weird while pregnant, i would not look, eat, smell or even touch chicken. There were some commercial on t.v. that would just make me throw up, i guess it was just my hormones running wild. I however craved so much sweets and loved baking that got my sister so surprised since i didn't like cook when i was still single, i knew how to cook but i just didn't want to. The other weird disgusting thing about me when i was pregnant was i didn't like taking a shower or getting wet period, lol. I would go days and almost a week before i could force myself to finally take a shower, the reason being was i was always cold even with a space heater in the bathroom and i felt like i didn't want to be bothered. However i did change my underwear on a daily basis and just washed the most important private parts,lol. I know its disgusting to share but I'm hoping some women out there would share what they found weird when they got pregnant.

STYLES,COLORS AND CUT FOR MEN.

Have you ever thought of learning how to cut, color and style men's hair? Well i have, with today's economy my husband has been telling me to learn how to cut hair so we could save the money that he pays the barber when he gets a cut twice a month. Last Christmas while we were at Angelo's house, Aj our 13 yrs old nephew asked me if i could style his hair. This is where how to cut men's hair dvd would come in handy. With teenagers today you have to know what the styles and the colors are. I of course could not do it since i had no idea how to style men's hair let alone a teenage boy. With Ralph however it would be nice if i could get my hands on mens hair cutting dvd and finally be able to cut his own hair and save at the same time. Not only that if i get the professional hair cutting dvd i may be able to earn money on the side by cutting my families and friends hair.

The video below about Metro haircuts, styles and color. The whole DVD collection can be purchased by visiting www.VideoShelf.com or my calling this # 1-800-414-2434. The complete set of DVDs can be yours for a reasonable amount of $105 + shipping and handling. That's a small price to pay for learning skills that will earn you money.

A CUP OF CAKE

Cupcakes, were one of the many food i baked and ate. This particular batch of cupcakes was baked for Kayla's 4th birthday. I colored the frosting so Kayla had a different cupcake every time she would ask for one. Before i got married i just loathed cooking and would grumbled, whine and complain if i was told to cook. When i got married of course i had to impress my husband and show him that i can cook, i was just lazy back home since my sister is such a good cook. Also when i got pregnant i had this urge to bake all the time, it usually comes out great and yummy to. Oh i also made those cupcakes for Kayla to take to school to share with her friends when she was still in pre-kindergarten.

BROKEN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Education is a very important thing that we as a parent can give to our children. Ralph is a staunch believer that children should get educated, not miss school except of emergencies or when they are really sick. Since Kayla has started Kindergarten in September she has not missed any day of school and has the awards every month to prove it. She loves going to school and is striving right before our very eyes. Ralph is usually the one who does the homework with Kayla, he is such a patient and wonderful dad. I for one am not a very patient, good and understanding teacher that is why i try to get out of doing homework, lol... I know, i should and i do when Ralph has no time so Kayla and I do homework. I tell my husband all the time that I'm very very lucky to have married such an intelligent man. Thank God our kids seems to have his brain because mama does not do to well on certain subjects. As of today Kayla has missed school due to the fact that her mother did not meet Ralph yesterday as per the court order. He is deeply upset that Kayla missed school just because her mother is being difficult. We had been on pins and needle waiting for her call where and when Kayla will be dropped off. Finally this afternoon at 2 p.m. she called to ask Ralph to meet at the halfway point. Thank God Kayla will not be missing another day of school tomorrow.

SHOWS ON CBS

These are just a few of my favorite shows on television, shows that i have been following and will be following. I have not watched some of the episodes but i will try and keep watching the past episodes so i can keep track of whats happening with my shows.

• CSI Crime Scene Investigation ( CBS ) - I'm a little upset that William Peterson who plays Gil Grissom will be leaving CSI. He was one of the main reason why i got hooked watching this show. He will still be producing the show and will be doing guest appearances. I hope that Laurence Fishbourne will give justice to his Character.
• CSI NY Crime Scene Investigation New York (CBS ) - Looking forward how Danny and Lindsay's relationship will go with the baby on the way. I also look forward to more of Gary Sinise who plays Det. Mac Taylor.
  
• NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service ( CBS ) - My sister got me hooked into watching this show and i am not regretting it. I love all the characters from Jethro Gibbs, DiNozzo, Ziva, Mc Gee, Dir. Vance, Abby and of course Ducky. I'm waiting if DiNozzo will have a relationship with Ziva and McGee with Abby.
  
• The MENTALIST ( CBS ) - I must admit i have not been watching the show lately since i always forget to see it but thankfully MIL has been recording it for me. I'll just have to find the time to watch it. I love Simon Baker who plays the character of Patrick Jane and also the other guys.
• Ghost Whisperer ( CBS ) - Cant wait if Jim will finally remember his previous life and that he was married to Melinda. I still hope they will end up together.

Those are just a few of the shows i love watching on CBS.

CRAB EATING AND FREINDS

As i was looking through some of my pictures when i was still pregnant i came across these photos when i was 8 months pregnant. We just dropped off Kayla that day to Baltimore and we were going to meet up with a filipina i had befriended online. Neda and Dave lived about 10 min away from where we drop off Kayla. It was the first time that we will meeting and i was so excited. She had bought crabs for dinner since i really wanted it. They were so gracious and hospitable and i had a wonderful time with them. I not only came home with a full stomach but also a couple of Victoria Secret products. Looking at the photos made me miss being pregnant again.

A STRATEGY PAINT GAME

One of the things that i have been meaning to do with Ralph, Kayla and a few of our nephews and niece is the strategic game of paintball. When i see it on movies it just makes me want to have some adrenaline paintball fun. I just see it not only as a game but a means of outwitting your opponents by way of tactical paintball. About 6 months ago Ralph did a tactical exercise with his fellow police officers using paintball and when he got home we was all fired up. He said it was fun, easy and it lets you dictate the way the games will end. So this summer it is our goal to at least try a game session of paintball fun with Kayla.
