My baby is getting SO BIG.
She's 11 months as off 11/12/12.. trying to walk, but really not sure of herself yet.
AND, tonight I noticed her 7th tooth popped through today.
I can't believe she turns ONE in a month.. this seems insane. I wish she would stay a baby forever.
She's still BREASTFEEDING. and although I feel like a creeper when I say this, i LOVE BFing my little girl. I can't even imagine weaning her anytime soon and think I'll keep nursing until shes ready to quit. It's a bond stronger than I can even explain.. it's amazing. I love my little princesses. <3

Feeling pretty good..
So, I finally did my hair the way I've wanted to for a while. Top half is bleached out, bottom half is black. IN LOVE with my hair.
Too bad that since all my hair was blonde, the bottom half I dyed black is fading awfully quick.. guess I need to get some more black and stain stain stain my hair away.
It's mehhhh Birfday!
Well, the 31st was my birthday.
Took the kids trick-or-treating but sadly didnt get any pics of the kiddos in their costumes.
Mallory was a pirate, with make-up and all. Maleah was Cinderella, in a super cute pink ball gown... and Ellie wasa fuzzy adorable pink three eyed monster <3
Mallory's is on the left.. she drew a face on hers with a pen and I gladly carved it out the best that i could. Can you guess which one was Ellie? lol and Maleah's was a standard jack-o-lantern face. Sadly, I was the only one who seemed interested in carving pumpkins this year.. Kids didnt really care after the first few minutes of gutting them...
and...
Guess who found the Hallowen candy! LOL

Halloween Birthdays!
It's literally been a month since I wrote last.. i've tried hard to stop doing this.. going so long between posts but I get so caught up on life that it just gets difficult.
Mallory's birthday was October 12th. We made a chocolate cake with Lime Green frosting with pink royal frosting hearts. She had a blast and got some pretty good gifts from family. I just cant believe that my baby is FIVE! She recieved LOTS of barbie stuff and Maleah got a new baby (of course)
Saturday, October 13th was the girls' joint birthday party at my Mom's apartment clubhouse. Lots of family and friends came, the kiddos both made out like bandits.
Saturday October 27th was Baby Jack's Birthday. For any of you reading that I dont personally know, Baby Jack is my younger sister's son. He is 6 weeks older than Ellie and turned one. Soooo many kids and mexican families are HUGE and sooooo overwhelming! But it was a great time. :)
Maleah turned TWO on the 28th which was the Sunday following Baby Jack's birthday. She had a Sesame Street party, Elmo everywhere and even made a special cake.. an ADORABLE Cookie Monster cake!

Last 2 weeks in a NUTSHELL!
UGH... life has been so damn hectic lately.
Well, it happened sooner than i thought it would... my Dad moved his girlfriend and her kids in. I spent the better part of last week moving all of my boxes and items out of the spare room and into the shed and super-cleaning and packing more things that just didnt really need to be out and in the way.
I've been in cleaning mode lately also.. cleaning like a psycho everyday and making real meals and since its FINALLY cooling down outside, I've been taking the kids outside to play, ride bikes and water all the plants.
Mallory and Maleah are having their birthday party this coming Saturday and I am so excited for them. We're having it at the Clubhouse of my Mom's apartment complex and fingers crossed the pool is warm enough to swim in! it's either one extreme or the other in October.. 100 degrees or sleeting. Let's hope for 100! I made about 6 dzn sugar cookies from scratch and instead of a "Happy Birthday" Banner, I made cutouts that spell "Happy Birthday Mallory" and "Happy Birthday Maleah" That way they each have their own special thing and in different colors, one pink and one purple. We're also doing pretty cupcakes for the party too. Hopefully having pizza and Velata Chocolate!
and yes, I'm going to try and make a sale and bring my Scentsy testers also. :) lol.. always working!
Not so awesome happenings.. my phone burnt up :( I had Galaxy Nexus and LOVED it.. but randomly over the last two months it's been really wonky. Sometimes it works great, others it will only charge while powered off and other times it wouldnt charge at all. Well it went through a fit like that two weeks ago.. It wouldnt charge then died and wouldnt do ANYTHING. Well, for some reason after i tried all of the chargers in this house (10+ of them!) Jeremy took it outside and plugged it in in the car and Halleluja! It charged so slow but got up to 40%... brought it back inside and as soon as it turned on it did a system update to Jelly Bean.. i was SO excited because after this, it worked great.. UNTIL IT HAPPENED. ughhh.. Sunday night i was using my phone, the damn things starts getting crazy.. wouldnt send messages.. battery life wasnt reading correctly. Well, it got really low then it would say it was charging- only it wasnt plugged in. then it would "charge" only to re-boot.. after maybe 6 times of this, it died completley.
I plug it in not knowing what was going to happen.. after about 5 min plugged in i check it to see if theres any power going into it.. and it BURNS MY HAND when I pick it up. There was absolutley no power getting to the battery. All that power flowing into it was i guess bunched up in the bottom of the phone where the charger connected. It's smoking so I quickly unplug it.. the tip of the charger is back and the plastic around it it getting soft from the heat.. my phone is all ashy and looks like it has soot on it.. but it doesnt smell like an Electical fire.. it smells like my phone smoked a carton of cigarettes and then DIED.
We havent even dealt with Verizon yet since Jeremy has to do it.. seeing how it's in his name but i am PISSED. Now, I'm home all day without a phone. I have wifi, but no home phone or alternate cell phone that I can call out on in case of an emergency. I can't be reached by customers because I cant answer my phone and idiot me can't remember the password to my email account since it stays signed in on my phone 24/7 and now i'm locked out of it til midnight TOMORROW. UGHH
So, thats been my life in a nutshell.. ;)

Did someone say La La Loopsy?
So after all the planning I had started for an amazing Elmo party for Maleah and a kick-ass Spongebob party for Mallory.. the plans have changed.
Because we don't have our move date yet and when we do find out will probably be leaving in a matter of weeks.. we wanted to throw both the girls a party, not just Mallory and too bad for Maleah because we'll be in a hotel. That wouldn't be fair.
Soooooo their party will be October 13th at the Clubhouse of the apartment complex where my mom lives. Hopefully it'll be freakishy warm again so we can swim too. :)
and of course because I couldnt combine the spongebob and elmo themes, we're doing La La Loopsy! Plus on the girls' actual birthdays we'll be doing cupcakes with the little sugar candy characters on top.
Google has so many cute ideas for La La Loopsy parties.. for example:
this adorable wreath made from bows and mini La La Loopsy figurines.
These adorable BUTTON cookies! These would also be super adorable made out of fondant and neatly layed on top of mini or regular size cupcakes.
although this is a Cupcake-Cake a this is a GREAT La La Loopsy cake!
This cake pop is AMAZING.. i however do not have the patience to create something so labor intensive and beautiful that will literally be gone with ONE bite. Nor, would I pay to have these made.. unless I won the lottery of course.
There are sooo many more ideas out there.. the cute milk bottles, Loopsy dolls sitting about and os many cute items on Etsy If only money wasn't an issue. Next year, we will be buying Halloween decor all year long and will be goig crazy doing a Halloween/Costume party for the girls. It'll be a blast!
So this year, we'll be doing swimming, pizza, cake and fun games with cutesy La La Loopsy deocrations with my monkeys and all their friends and family <3 I can't wait!

Divorce...happens?
Well it's been a few weeks again.. I swear I keep slacking... I'll write a few entires and then disappear for a bit again.
Between my household duties, the girls and packing etc. i am seriously so busy.
I dont even know if I've written about this before because it's really personal but in July my parents who had been together close to 30 years split up. My Mom moved into an apartment in town and my Dad is still living in the house they bought together. My Dad already has a girlfriend.. a woman he works with and she has two kids. They're not living together..yet. Since myself and my kids are still living here until it's time for us to PCS, they're living in separate homes.
I like the woman and her kids.. yes kids. She has a 15yr old daughter and a 20 yr old daughter. They're nice kids and dont know their real father. It's kind of like my dad is stepping in as their step-father already. Hell, he already speaks of moving her and her kids in after we're on our way out the door and how he's excited for us to leave so he can "live his life" like he's 16.
My Mom took splitting up really hard.. mostly because she stuck in through him not being divorced to his first wife and being illegally married to her.. through an affair with my little sister's best friend's mother. She feels like she wasted 30 years with someone who didn't give a shit about her.. Jeremy and I helped her move into her apartment in July and she's finally seeing someone.. trying to move on with her life.
I couldn't imagine trying to move on after 30 year with the same person... after losing someone you thought was your best friend just because he didn't want you anymore. Very sad...
Anyways.. I feel like I'm the middle person here. i NEVER though my parents would be getting a divorce and because I still live here with my Dad, it's like im obligated to be in the damn middle. I want them both to be happy because everyone deserves to be happy but I'm still angry because even though he wont admit it.. i KNOW he was cheating on my Mom again. and im PISSED that he's going to moving her kids into mine and my sister's bedrooms.
Say myself, Jeremy and the kids come home for holidays.. can't stay with my Mom in her 1bd apartment.. Can't stay here because well.. it'll be weird. Wouldn't want to intrude on his "new" family.
*sigh* I'm just at a loss...
