I know it's about time. I really got to find my Mojo. I redid my crafting area so I'm hoping to be back in action soon. Expect to see pictures very soon. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I brought them to get some head shots taken and when we got home since they were already in the mood I took a couple pics of my own. I never really notice how big they are getting until I look at the pics I take of them over time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nay is turning into quite the Little Man ... And Niah she's such a Lady .... They are 10 & 8 When did this happen?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love our time together. They make for some of the best conversations. When I pick them up after school and I'm taxiing them off to their after school activities I am always happy to hear about the adventures of their day. And when they're not talking about their school day tales their singing and laughing. Those sounds just make my day 10x better. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love those two little munchkins and I am so happy to have them in my life. I really don't know what kind of person I would be if I didn't have them in my life. They keep me sane and help to keep me going on those days I wonder why I should.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Anyways here are some of my favorite pics from our little photo shoot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<strong>Journaling reads:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You thought I didn't know you pretended to be my friend. You thought I didn't know you thought of me as a convenient friend. You smiled in my face and talked behind my back. You used me to pay your way when we went out. You used me to do things for you. I was a true friend to you and I loved you like a sister. Thank God I had a real friend who loved and respected me enough to show me what you really are .... A USER. I had to let you go. You lost a good friend. To bad for you. </div>

I don't watch much TV but there are 2 shows I'm loving right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is HellCats which stars 2 Disney up and comings Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale. It's cute, corky and positive and I can watch it with the kids. I like light shows that I don't have to think about especially after years of watching Lost and Nip/Tuk. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other is Vampire Diaries. My daughter got me into this one. She loves this show. Every Thursday Baby Girl and I and even the Little Man get our Vampire fix for the week by watching Damon, Stefan, Elena and Now Kathrine do their thing.</div>

Journaling: The Moment I found out I was with child my life changed. <br />
<br />
It was no longer about me. <br />
I had to stop being selfish and start making better decisions. <br />
You are the best thing that ever happened to me. <br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: #fff2cc; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Back to reality. Kids are back in school. They started on Monday. Now it’s homework and projects as well as picking them up and shuffling them off to their different activities. Nay is on the Dance Team again this year and Niah is now on the Gymnastics team so I’ll be spread pretty thin this year. But I don’t mind because I love the routine. It looks like 2 trips to Orlando this year. One trip for each child’s activity and tons of completions and performances. There are also some additional, very exciting things going on for them this year that I can’t discuss right now. But trust me I’m one proud Mommy. And with all of this they have to make sure all school work in on point because of course that comes first. </em></span></div>

Back from a wonderful weekend in Jamaica with my family. The purpose of the trip was a memorial for my Grandmother who died 2 years ago. We added her head stone to her grave and added flowers. It was a small and beautiful ceremony that I know she would have loved. I will posted picture soon.</div>

We're not really close but when we see each other we talk and laugh and crack jokes. We are connected through facebook so I occasionally see what's going on based on status updates. Every time I see him he's smiling and joking and really enjoying life. He's had some medical problems for a while now but most of the time when you see him you would never know. He never lets it get him down. I love his spirit and his character and wish I could be more like that. Cause honestly there is no reason complaining and crying over things we can't change. Or complaining about something that we make no attempt to change. Anyways I saw him the other day and commented on a depressing status update he had on his wall (which was very out of character for him). He explained that things were more serious than first thought but that he had taken a step back to recharge and go at it again. And as usual he was cracking jokes, laughing and radiating with that beautiful spirit I'm always so envious of. <br />
<br />
We could all learn something from his view on life. Enjoy life to the fullest and when you feel like you can't take anymore: step back, recharge and go at it again.<br />

OK I went and saw Eclipse...Loved it. I am very happy with the new director. He did a wonderful job of staying as true to the book as possible. Now that I was able to see the story on the big screen it makes my heart hurt for Jacob even more. I love his spunk and his drive but I feel bad that he has to be in love with someone that is obviously in love with someone else. Currently slowly reading Breaking Dawn. Heard that they will be splitting this one into 2 movies. Good more to look forward to. <br />

Finished a cute little dress for Niah that she wore to the movie. She made me feel so good because she was so proud of it. I let her pick the fabric which made her even more excited about the dress. She wanted it down to her ankles but I decide it would be better mid-calf. I'm just so happy she likes it enough to brag that her Mommy made it for her. LOL</div>

Looking forward to seeing Eclipse at the IMAX on Saturday. Can you imagine seeing Taylor Lautner shirtless on that huge IMAX screen. Call me a cougar if you want but I know a good looking guy when I see one. When I first started reading these books. I was TeamEdward all the way. But I am currently on the last book Breaking Dawn and I will tell you that I have grandually switched sides. Jacob has my heart now and I think he has gotten the wrong end of the deal. So it's TeamJacob for me all the way. For those of you who have seen Eclipse already I hope you enjoyed it and for those who haven't What are you waiting for. </div>

Father's day was wonderful. The kids and I let Daddy sleep all day witch if you know our family you would know that Daddy is the one always up early. He's been working so hard lately I'm sure it was a well deserved rest. We all went out to dinner at a little spot we found that's not to far from our house call Smitty's. It's a little Mom and Pop diner that serves BBQ. Here is a picture of the kids with Daddy.</div>

If you don't know by now, I bought a sewing machine. A Brother's and it's all computerized and fancy. My first project is a skirt for work. I started the skirt on Sunday and I'm slowly working on it. I'm moving slow because I have never used a sewing machine before so I'm reading the manual and the instructions on the pattern both at the same time. I'm excited to say so far it's going well. The only thing was after I put the pieces together and tried it I realized I had to add another piece cause it would have been a little tight on the hips. So today I hope to work on the waist and the zipper. I want to be finished by Friday but we will see how that goes. If all goes well then my next project will be a dress for Niah. She wants a maxi dress that goes down to her ankle. Maybe I should just try a skirt for her first. Anyways here is a sneak peak at my skirt. </div>

I know I'm always saying how proud I am of my kids but really I am so proud of them. Every time I think I can't get any prouder, they do something else. This weekend Nay had a performance. The Live In Color Dance Collective (from America's Best Dance Crew) had a showcase on Saturday and he was part of it. It was a fabulous show and of course my baby ripped it. I wanted to video tape but they were not allowing it, so I will have to purchase a DVD when they become available. How happy I am to have my own little Live In Color Kid. Oh I didn't get any pictures of him in his costume... I know I suck. But here is a picture of us after the show when I took my little star out to dinner. </div>

My little preemie is now a big girl. So hard to believe. All she wanted was an Ipod Touch for her special day. We made it happen and you would have sworn she hit gold. Her words at the end of the day were " This day was like a dream". LOL Doesn't take much to please her. Ipod and Olive Gardens with her bday buddy. My cousin Suzie who's bday is the following day made my baby girl a happy camper.<br />

My new love<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I have been on a makeup kick for over a year now. All kinds of makeup but mostly eyeshadows and lipglosses. I use to be mainly a MAC cosmetics girl but lately I've been trying different brands some more expensive and some way less expensive. I have stumble onto a brand by the name of NYX cosmetics. They are sold in Ulta and <a href="http://www.cherryculture.com/">Cherry Culture</a>. I'm not sure who else sells them. I love them. Their eyeshadows are highly pigments. The color payoff is equivalent to MAC if not better. Also they have a wide range of colors to choose from. And their lipglosses are great and a plus ... they have a fruity smell to them. The other day <a href="http://www.cherryculture.com/">Cherry Culture</a> had a sale on NYX products ... 25% off. You know I jumped on that. I haven't used everything I bought but what I have used I love. If you haven't tried their products yet, I would suggest you give them a try. You won't be sorry. I ended up purchasing $40 worth of stuff and got free shipping. Yay me!!!! Here is a photo of everything I bought. </div>

My Memorial Day weekend was beautiful. I started the weekend with a Sushi Dinner with my hubby. We've been trying to spend as much quality time together as possible. That's very important in a relationship. And of course it was wonderful. Good food and company you can't beat that. We talked and people watched and laughed and ate til out little hearts were content.<br />
<br />
Saturday was a beach day. My brothers and cousins met up with us at the beach. It was such the perfect day to be at the beach too. I found it so hard to leave. The sun was hot and the water was just right ... Perfectly cool. I think I was a prune by the time I left. Saturday night my Sister had a little something for all the May birthday people in our family. We have a lot of them. <br />

Sunday was my day of rest and literally I did nothing but stay in bed all day. I love when I can do that. It's like pressing the reset button on my body. I woke up Monday refreshed and ready to go. So it was Lunch with my little family and a movie. We went to watch Iron Man 2... Loved it. We had garlic crab for dinner because baby girl insisted and I'm glad she did cause it was so good.<br />

<p>What a busy but beautiful weekend. Saturday was the rehearsal for the kid’s Dance recital that was held on Sunday. It was a lot to do in such a short period of time but the end result was well worth it. And I had to do it all sick. My sinuses started acting up on Saturday and it went down hill from there. My kids make me so proud. I am truly blessed to have such talented kids. In all the excitement I only got one picture of Nayshawn and none of Niah. My losing my touch so I guess I’m going to have to order pics. After the show we took my little stars out for dinner at Chili’s. The dinner was good but it would have been better if I would have been able to enjoy their 2 for 1 cocktail special…LOL
<p></p>Nayshawn in his hip hop costume...Loves it.
