Last blog of 2016

I can't believe before we come back for Monday's blog, we will be in the year 2017. Today is actually my birthday and to see my birthday countdown blog, it was posted on Wednesday.

2 days until Birthday

So my birthday is actually on Friday but since we already have a blog schedule for Friday. I can't believe that i am about to turn 27.

All things Christmas

Although, I wanted to do many blogs about Christmas, I decided to do one big blog for it.


Starting with favorite Christmas movies: 

I have to say that my favorite Christmas movies are home alone 1 & 2. 

My favorite music: Joy to the world

Our Christmas tree for 2016:

Now this is not the official photo of the tree. I will have to take one later on.

Merry Christmas

We hope that everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with your family.

Winter starts today

Today marks the first day of winter and that means that it's officially time for Christmas. 

6 days until Christmas

I can't believe that we have about six days until Christmas! :) 

Last Burton of 2016

Today marks the last day of Burton of 2016. I can't believe that 12 months have gone by. 

Christmas Exchange

So before we get into our family tradition for our Christmas exchange. We normally have about two of them and it goes pretty well. It's a lot of fun.

 Everyone 18 or older who brings a gift can participate in the gift exchange. Please spend at least $25.00 for a gift that is appropriate for a male or female. Please bring a small gift for your child to open if they are under the age of 18.

Some people do it wonderful and others not so much.

Check out our Mountain Gateway on Friday (December 9, 2016)

Snowflake, the ELF

The Girls, that I watched, have the Elf on the shelf and they both do pretty good with it. We don't always remember to move and plus sometimes it will get move twice a day since we don't talk with our words. (Don't know why)

Their elf actually comes out the week of Thanksgiving so it's been about a week since she has came out

Mountain Gateway!

Over the weekend, we went up for our annual family Christmas party that we do during the first Saturday of December. 

As we were opening presents, it SNOWED and it also hailed as we were leaving. The hail quickly stopped and it started to snow again.  

Pearl Harbor

Today marks 75 years later of Pearl Harbor. I can not believe that it's been that long. In fall of 2006, my family toured Pearl Harbor for the first time. Then in the summer of 2008, we did it again.

You can't express the feelings that you have when you go through and learn what happen to that day. We take advantage of what we have and open ourselves for an attack by others. We need to get our country back to where we need to be.

We pray for the families that were affected by this horrible act.

One year later

Today marks one year since we started this new blog. I was not sure if we were going to last the whole year since I have my other blog.

Check out our first blog!: Welcome Blog

Ahola Decemeber!

This month is turning to be a very busy month for us from family events to just work in general. I also have to finished my Christmas shopping.

** Just note that tomorrow we will not have a blog since I normally post, Monday, Wednesday and Friday! **

One Month until Birthday

We have 30 days until my birthday and let me tell you that I am super excited and nervous about it at the same time

Last Monday of November 2016

I can't believe that November is almost over. We just have a few days left.

Healthcare fixed

I am super happy to find out that my healthcare was fixed. I ended up calling them both Tuesday and Wednesday and they were finally fixed. :) 

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Being Thankful

With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I wanted to do a blog about what I was thankful for. 

I am thankful for
* What God has given us this year. We are truly blessed! 
* for sense of security 
* that we are free to be who we are. 

No Burton again?

I found out that I am not able to do Burton again tomorrow. 

No Burton! :(

I actually got texted on Thursday that I was not able to do Burton this week. 

No Thankful Thought blogs?

This month, we decided not to do our thankful thought blogs this year. I am not sure why but I had no energy to do it.

Preparing for Thanksgiving

You should see our list for Thanksgiving and boy it is not pretty! It's super long. 

Veteran's Day!

Happy Friday my friends,

Today we are celebrating our Veterans and all that they do for us. Thank you for serving our country. Now that we have made America worst again, we are going to need more people that will stand up for our nation and make it what it should be. 

Election results

As many of you know that Donald Trump is now president elect right now, it's a sad day for Americans as we send a clear message across the land that we are not united as we all hope. 

We put a man in office that will be happy to rape our women into what he wants. We put in a man that has no experience in this field and most likely kill us all. We have a first lady that is a hooker and not even born in this country. 

Sister's graduation

Hope that you all have had a great weekend.
My sister graduated on Friday.  We are so excited about her graduating.

We will see you on Wednesday for what we did on Saturday and maybe Sunday! :)

Long Travel Day!

Today, we are planning a long bus/max ride for me. I haven't decided as of (November 2, 2016) if I am going to the school or not.
My mom is having me meet her at her work which is not bad. I have done it before. I think that I filmed a day in the life which I might do again today.

Ahola November!

We were going to post this on November 1st but decided to wait a day and let you see it today. 

First of all, let me say, Happy Birthday to my cousin! 

It's hard to believe that our first anniversary of our blog is coming up in the month of December.


I have scheduled out the blog for this month

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all

Last Friday of October

Today is the last Friday in October 2016! 

Beach soon

We are planning a girls day soon.

Thanksgiving countdown

We have one more month until Thanksgiving.

No Halloween set up

As of 10/16, we haven't set up our Halloween decorations yet.

Double Birthdays

Tomorrow is my grandma and a friend's birthdays

100 blogs in 2016

Today we are blogging 100th blog in the year 2016. 

Tornado Hits the coast

The tornado hits the Oregon coast this morning. It's a surprisingly thing to happen to the coast. Thankfully no one was hurt by it.

Protesters in Portland

Thank you protesters for standing up for what is not right for cops to be allow to do however you are not allowing others to do their job! :)

Movie Review: deepwater horizon

This movie was a real life event and it's hard to review at the cost of someone's pain and loss. For BP which is clearly at fault because of what they did with the test. How can you ignore  not doing the testing? That should be a red flag.
The movie was a little slow at first and then pick up.

Feelings on presidental race

This year it's a criminal vs criminal race. You have one side that has been doing tax issues where he did not filed and raping women and lying to each and everyone. You have the other side that she did something with her home email that replications think that they can keep bringing it up.
At first, I wasn't going to say anything but now I feel that I need to. With Obama, I knew that he was going to be elected and of course replications are going to do what they do best. Bitch and whine. That is what they love to do.
Obama had a lot of Bush mess cleaning up to do before he could anything.
I honestly feel that God has whoever will win plan out.

New changes in signs?

So my cousin brought this up on her facebook page and I went immanently to google to find out if it's true or not and as right now it's not. I'm still a Capricorn. :)

Whew!

Mean Girls Appreciation Day

Have you ever watch Mean Girls? Where Lidnsay Lolan talks about a guy asking what day it is well turns out that it's today :)

October 2016

I can't believe that we are already ten months into the year. 

This month, we have two birthdays with the possibility of adding another birthday into the mix. My cousin is expecting her third child by the end of the month.

We have bunco this month but I don't know if my mom is coming. It might be me and my dad.

We have Halloween this month but I might be with the kids for that day.

Happy Birthday Uncle Rick

Sharon's birthday

Author's note: Just know that this was written on September 7th but was unable to posted it on that day because we already had something planned that day.

Sharon,


We are so thankful for you. God truly answered our prayers by adding you into our lives. Thank you for being so patience to listen all of us grandbabies talk.

Happy Birthday and we love you!

Never Forget!

It is hard to believe that 15 years ago, we were attack by terrors hitting our country where they knew would be easy. 

But we quickly to afraid not to attack them back. So many people have lost their lives and we are still living the same way as before.

Can I or can't I?

The moment that I have been waiting for going to Burton that is if I am clear. I will fill you in on Monday's blog! 

First Day of school

The girls went for their first day of school and it was so sad to think that I am by myself until they get out but then again. I am only by myself for about two hours.

Labor Day!

I was so bad about planning blogs for this week so they will come as soon as I can. Next week, I will be better.

I ended up working today after the mom slept for the most of the day :)

Mom turns 50!

Today is my mom's birthday

Can't do Burton

So last night, I got a message from the teacher that I help out with that my volunteer paperwork had expired. To me, which did not get is that why they couldn't they keep using the church then reminded myself that I no longer help out there.

No biggie just needed to filled out three pages and turn it back in. Did that and I should find out on Monday if it's okay.

September 2016

I had a horrible blogging month for the month of August but I stayed up one night trying to catch up on it for you. I focused my attention to Life as a 26 years old.

This month we have so many birthdays rather it be a friend or family member's birthday. The schools went back yesterday. The girls that I watch don't go back until the 7th of September.

Bunco will be starting up again :)

My parents will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary in a few weeks by going to Hawaii which I should have off.

Last Day of August

Today we are saying goodbye to August!

First day of School!

Today is Evergreen School district first day of school. We did not know if they were going to start today or not

It's on the way

Today it's shipped

I didn't lock you out

So the dad thinks that I locked the door first, why would I do it? I did not know when my mom would be there so you liar.

Not doing the work?

Why should I be the one that does all this work but when she has left over pages, you don't make her do it.

walking for 46 mins or 20 mins

So the c-tran is adding our route to one of those AM and PM but they are also changing the rounte.
If I still have the photo then I will share it.
I am still trying to get a schedule for the school done.

Ordering a new planner

I was not sure about ordering another Erin Cordern planner but I did.

Staying at Burton

A few years ago, I felt very content about leaving the school but then I would changed my mind and trust me I have done it again

Fair 2016

The fair was super fun to do.

Dad's birthday

Happy Birthday Dad

Small break from the kids

I somehow managed to get a much needed break from watching the kids.

August 2016

Good morning everyone

It's the first day of August! 

Last July Blog

Since Monday is August 1st, Today marks our last July blog.

Last Wednesday in July

It is hard to believe that it is almost August. This summer is going by really fast. We are definally having a mid summer compare to last year.

No CW still?

It has been a month since we had the CW network and it is still not back yet. This is getting really annoying and I wish that we had it back.

Looking for the best insurance

When looking for the best insurance, you want to shop around and make sure that it's something that you can afford. I looked at all the insurances that I know which are state farm and american family and so much more.

I am sure that I found the prefect one for me and the good thing is that it's only going to cost me 108 dollars now if I can get that one to the end of the month where my cell phone is due too then that would be great.

Car soon when?

I can't wait to have the car because that means that I need to get insurance

Girls weekend results

It did not turned out very well but did managed to convince myself to get a car while waiting for a new job. Yay!!!

Girls weekend

This weekend we are going to the casino and hopefully we do really good.

Turning Nine!

The oldest one that I watched turned nine yesterday and I am going to be sad when she turns 10. Double digits next year what the heck!

My thoughts on the shooting!

This is how I feel....

Republicans are two face liars! President Obama has been trying to stop these shootings and you all have done nothing but stop him because they don't want it done expect for when cops are shot. 

Do I agree that cops should have been shot? No it's wrong 

What about the schools and children that have been effected by these shooting. It is wrong! 

It kinda feels that we are having a purge right now! 

Happy Birthday Alayah!

Happy Birthday Alayah Rose!

Calling out Joe Walsh!

Today I feel that I need to do this because it needs to be done. He lied to everyone trying to say that he did not threaten president Obama.

I don't know what you call that but to me it's a threat and he needs to be hold accountable for his tweets and words! 

Praying for Dallas

I was sadden to learn about the shooting that happen in Dallas. There was five cops killed and many were injured. It is a sickening action done. I am praying for the victims and families that were affected by this action. 

God doesn't like gossip!

Something really impacted me about two weeks and I heard this and thought. I wanted to share this on my blog with my readers. Now I am a sinner. I know this. I am not prefect nor would I ever want to be. 

In the bible it talks about gossip and how God doesn't like people talking bad about. Now I also hear that if it's truth then it's not gossip.

What do you think that it is? 

Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July! 

July 2016

I can't believe that we are in the month of July! It is so exciting to know that we are already in seven months of the year 2016!

Six months to go!

My birthday is in six months!

6 years anniversary!

On June 22, 2010, I decided to start a new journey and write blogs. When I started I was just blogging here and there. 

Looking back at the blogs that I did for my first year was a really good experience to relive! 

Last week of June Blogs!

It is hard to believe that this is the last week of June and on Friday marks July 1st! 

Right before school was out, I had made sure to preblog all the blogs that I can do for the month of June! 

Summer 2016

Now that Summer has started and school is out, we are trying to figure out somethings to do with the girls during the week so we are not at the house all the time

Father's day 2016

Father's day was on Sunday and I wanted to make sure that I blog about it. 

Because we are only Mon, Wed, and Fri schedule; I had to wait until today's blog to talk about father's day.

Please stop bringing her

One of the ladies, in the bunco group and actually she's not a full time member but a sub, is very rude when she's playing.

I really wish that they would stop bringing her to bunco.

Boys graduation and birthday party

Over the weekend, we went to my cousins graduation and birthday party.

I cant believe that they are turning 18.

Gadgit Fix review

I am finally doing a review on Gadgit Fix.

1. I didn't like that there was a huge lack of communications with gadget Fix. It's like you had my laptop and yet you would not give me an update on it.

Last day at Burton

Friday marked the last day at the school. I still love being there.

Can't wait for the end of August to be here.

Extra battery and case review

Happy Friday everyone!

Today i am doing a review on my extra battery and case since i have had it for a week now.

So far i am loving it. Now there's been two nights where the second battery is dead and the other one who was on the portable charger is fully charged before i go to bed.

I normally won't change to the other battery until it is at six percent.

Super good news

We are so excited to share that we got our computer back and i will be doing a review on Gadgit Fix company in the next few days.

Updated Good and the Bad

I won't be getting my computer back until Friday

Good and the Bad

Over the past weekend, my laptop has come up with "System Warning Problem with the Cooling System" and now I have to send it away for the next three days.

Now here's the good news because I plan the blogs out during the weekends the week before, so I have that cover!  

Now I should be getting it back today or tomorrow hopefully. It just depends on what day I sent it in! :) 

Happy 4th Birthday!

I hope that she has a special Birthday!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Getting ready for fourth birthday!

It is hard to believe that she is turning four in a few days

Two weeks to go!

Just two more weeks until the kids are done with the school year! 

Park in your driveway

From the area that I work at, every day while I am here in the afternoon, I noticed that these cars can't park in their driveway the right way.

It's really hard when you have a three year old with you and you have to walk in the street because of these people.

Another school year?

I haven't decided if I am going to do another school year or not. I think that I will figure it out by next week! 

Three weeks to go!

I can not believe that we have three Fridays to go and I am excited for the school year to be done. 

Moments like these!

I love moments like these. God reminds us that he created us and other things in his image. 

We should stop and be thankful for what we have and what God blessed us with.

Setting up for June!

I can't believe that June is a week and half. This Friday we are going to be doing some calendar work trying to get it ready for June!

Four Fridays to go!

We just have four fridays and then the kids are out for summer!

May goals

It is always nice to have goals especially with so many blogs...

So this blogs goal will be about ten blogs! I am not sure if I will make it but I will try my best

May day!

It is the first day of May! 

4 months into 26!

I can't believe that we are 8 months from turning 27! 

It is scary to think that I am turning 27 in eight months

I'm horrible daily blogger!

I am horrible at daily blogging! I am almost a month behind on my daily blog and now trying to catch up. 

Check out my daily blog by clicking here

90 minutes in heaven

I seriously loved that movie.

Grace unplugged

I am finally getting done with watching Grace unplugged! I would love to recommend it for you all!

April Fools day jokes

I can remember as a kid with this joke being played on with me. Now truth be told that I was never a fan of this game.

One year, there was a child that put a fish in my pocket. I still could not believe it.

In the past, I had put a joke on my facebook but the last two years, I kinda grew out of the joking progress and grew up a little bit.

What was your favorite joke as a kid?

Sometimes

There are times that i miss living in the country and there are times that i love being a city girl.

Prayers

One of my really good friends is in the hospital right now. I would give anything to be up there but I can't be. 

Easter 2016

Easter is here and that means one thing: He is Risen! 

Still catching up!

I am barely holding on with this blog!

I promised to posted twice a week and I have failed. I barely got one out a week or every other week!

Spring 2016

Spring is here and that means that it is time for a new season

Late birthdays blogging

Today I can't believe that I'm still behind on blogs and there is a list of them.

First, I missed two birthdays that happened before Jazzie third birthday

St. Patrick day!

It's time for St. Patrick's day!

Third birthday

Today marks my cousin's 3rd birthday.

Planning ahead

I decided back in February 2016 to write the blogs about two weeks ahead. Therefore I did not have worried about when they were coming out. 

I think for the month of March, I am going to try to post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

See you Friday! :) 

Leap Year 2016

It's hard to believe that we are in a new leap year and that means that if I was born today, I would only be a few years old. How is that possible?

I never understand the every four years but I trust my Lord with everything so I am not looking  for answers that I don't need to know!

Youtube doesn't care!

Youtube doesn't care about the likes and dislikes. I could tell that you guys did not really care for the pack with me on Livinghopegurl so I have limited that down to once a month! :) 

New cards coming

Oh yes that means that I had to get a new debit card and a new drivers license because I lost it.

New goals!

We decided that we are going to try to post on this blog about two times a week! 

My Photography!

Today my dad and I went to the Dallas and on the way back we saw a rainbow! It reminded me as I am walking through this troubling time that life is not meant to be prefect all the time. It's meant to enjoy! 

I could not wait to share this photo with you all! :) 

A Valentine's day Nightmare!

Normally I love Valentine's day but today I was not happy about it. I found out in the middle of church that someone put a charge on my debit card. 

Lucky I got my bank to refuse the charge and put the money in my account! 

Groundhogs day 2016

I never got this day! if you look at the calendar, it always says that spring does not start until six weeks later. I don't think that the Groundhog ever says that we get an early spring! The Groundhog said that we have an early spring! 

Just a few things!

The other night I went to the store to get something and on the way back. I met one of the rudest drivers for Safteway ever! They cut right in front of me there for making it unsafe for me to drive and then they trap me where I could not move out either. I know that he saw me turn in to that spot and then did that.

Today my mom and I met at Lloyd Center so we could go do some errands. I was surprised by the outside when there was construction out by Macy well then I walked into the mall to find that the rink was down and along with the diner. Both have fond memories and I will try to do another blog about that experience.

Until Next Time

Seven Years ago

Today marks Seven Years ago! I was hoping to share some memories about the seven years but I wasn't sure that I should!

Bristol Palin

I really don't know how she is important!

I do have some kind words for Bristol if she reads this blog!

You need to worry more about your kids then you do worrying about judging others. You call yourself christian?

New Years 2016

Happy New Years everyone!
