Wordless Wednesday

This was us this past September celebrating our anniversary. I love this picture because well to be honest, I look hot in it. See people, you can be a mom and be hot at the same time.

Happy Wednesday!

Thank God for little boys

Yesterday was a rough day. Nothing seemed to be go right. Have you ever had does days? Stupid question, I know. Well, yesterday was one of those days. Besides the fact that it was Monday and we all know how those can be, I think I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Its life and it happens. I don't like to be negative, so I will spare you the details.

I will tell you though how when I came home, my munchkin made it all better with his kisses and hugs. I love my munchkin. I am so blessed to have him. With his smile and his laugh he just makes it all better. Thank God for little boys, especially mine.

No words necessary

This picture makes me smile every time I see it. Happy Wednesday!!!

My Black Boots

I love this time of year, especially the weather. Part of the reason why I love the weather its because if I'm lucky, it will get cold enough for me to wear my cute Winter gear and this week I've been very lucky. Its been a very chilly the last couple of days in Miami and I LOVE it. How chilly? Its been in the 30s and 40s.

While the rest of the country worries about shoveling snow, I worry about which sweater to wear ( Don't hate). I have so many cute sweaters that I never get to wear because its never cold enough and don't even get me started about my boots, I never get to wear boots, until now.

If you read my letter to Santa, you know that one of the things that I asked for was a pair of boots and guess what?? Santa came early! I know , I know I got them early, but in my defense I had to wear them now because when we get a cold front in Miami, we have to take full advantage of it and if that means that I have to wear my nice, brand new, shiny , black boots early so be it! That is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Aren't they so cute? and not only are they cute, but they're also super comfortable; but lets be real, I would totally wear them even if they weren't because like my mom always said " no pain, no gain." My hubby, Santa did I good job and I am a happy camper. Don't I look Fab?

I hope you are all staying warm, I know I am.


Smooches,

Eight simple reasons

Why I love being his mom:

1. His eyes, my baby has beautiful eyes...

2. The way his hair gets when he needs a hair cut :

3. His smile, because no mater how I'm feeling, his smile always makes me feel better:

4. Because he says " I love you mommy" for no reason at all :

5. Because there is nothing better than his hugs...

6. Or his kisses, especially in the morning and sometimes mommy gives TOO many kisses :)

7. Because I love his silly faces

8. Because I can't imagine my life without him

I thank God every day for him and for making me his mom.

P.S. I was feeling a little bit emotional today, so I went with it.

Xoxo,

Alex

Happy Saturday

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Last night, I went to my hubby's Christmas dinner for work; we had a wonderful time. Here is my favorite picture of my hubby and I from last night:

Today, we are taking the munchkin to a birthday party, so it should be a fun day. I wanted to also take this opportunity to thank everyone who is following and reading my blog. Thank you guys so much! Also, I'm doing the weekend wander blog hop. Blog hops are a great way to not only get your blog more traffic, but you also get to "meet" new people and read really cool blogs. So go for it!. Have a great weekend!!

Xoxo,

Alex

The High light of my weekend

Was taking my son to his first holiday parade. I mean, it was no Macy's Thanksgiving day parade or any thing like that, but we had a great time. My son woke up Saturday morning asking to go see Santa Claus; he knew he would be at the parade. It made it extra special that he not only got to share the day with mommy and daddy, but also with his grandma,uncle, aunt and his cousin.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of the day:

Sometimes is not about where you go or how much money you spend; its about being with family and creating memories.

A letter to Ralphy...Warning: you will need a tissue.

Dear Ralphy,

By the time you read this you will be an adult with responsibilities and goals of your own. You might be wondering"why is mami writting me a letter?. The reason I'm writting you is because I want you to know how much I wanted you and loved you before you ever even exsisted. I'm also sure that by the time you read this there would have been times that we disagreed about decisions you are making or getting ready to make. I'll start by telling you that you are now 2 1/2 yrs old. You are very smart and happy little boy. You love to watch movies ( sometimes over and over again) and your daddy and I love to watch them with you ( on most days). One of your many favorites : Finding Nemo, Cars, Astro boy and Shark Tale. You are also a very lucky little boy. Not only do you have parents that love you very much ( more than you will ever know) but you also have your Aunts and Uncles that love you and are very involved in your daily life. Plus, you have your cousins that you love to play with and you always talk about. Even the ones you don't get to see as much..You have a big sister that even though you don't get to see her much, you love talking to her on the phone and you tell her you love her every chance you get and I am praying that the two of you beat the odds and become closer as you get older. The only reason I say that is because she lives in another state ( at this time in Virginia) and she is a tiny bit older than you ( 11 yrs).. thats nothing right?... and then there's your grandparents. You have wonderful relantionship with them and they love you very much. At this present time, there is still one grandpa you haven't met yet and I'm not sure why. All I ask you is that when you do meet him you give him a chance. I also pray that you get to meet him soon. I'm going to be honest, there were times that I still get upset becuase I still don't understant why he hasn't made the effort to meet you. Who wouldn't want to meet you?.. You're awesome!. But noone is perfect right?. Lucky for you, you have granpa very close by and you have a very close connection with him, its very special. Since the first day when he came to see you in the hospital ( you looked just like him) you can tell you were connected in a deeper way and I know as you get older its only going to get better. You are also very close to both of your grandmas.the both spoil you beyond words ( like you didn't already know that).. I told you .. you are very lucky. My point is that even though there might be times were things or people are not are their happiest or whatever the situation may be... you have a family that loves you.. no matter what. I can honestly tell you the day I found out I was pregnant, I cried, they were tears of joy of course, but I cried because I loved you so much at that very minute. It was a bit overwhelming to feel that kind of love and to know that type of love was even possible. Other people always tried to explain it to me, but no words could ever describe it. You will know when you have your own kids one day. Just know that you were made out of love.. your daddy and I love each other very much.. so much so that we had you and for the record you were no surprise. You were very much planned :). I wanted to also tell you that I am and always will very proud of you no matter what. I want you to know that I will always be here for you and your daddy of course. You will always be able to count on us. and even if it gets to a point in your life were you feel that I don't understand or that I don't get it..TRUST me I do get it and I want you to always be able to come to me. That's all for now.I'll be back!

I love you for ever , to infinity and beyond,

Mami.
