<br />
So as we've seen in my last post Mia likes to sign herself up for lots of different things. We;; Most rescently she entered herself in a casting call for disney i believe! She's really shy sometimes but she has very good speech and when it comes to reading lines she's brilliant at it. <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well She had an audition this past Saturday! We were so excited for her - she was taken by her mom and we gave her lots of tips on what to do and say! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">At her reading, she couldn't remember all the lines, she was really good when they helped her remember a few words but for her 1st time putting herself out there she did pretty well. Good enough that she had a call back. Unfortunately it was right when she was headed out of town and they wanted oodles of dollars to start and it was not doable that that time. Well there are other opportunities but I'm proud of her for putting herself out there and trying new things! </div>MoiVal88http://www.blogger.com/profile/13122167630389236350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468272359252277613.post-47513832498084157412011-12-15T15:59:00.001-06:002011-12-15T16:01:38.605-06:00Dec 14thHello Everybody - If you're not familiar with this date then shame on you - Its Vania's Birthday! <br />
<br />
My little sister had another birthday! I know we just had Vereene's about 2 weeks ago but that's how birthdays run around here! Well since we're on our Recipe for life my sister didn't have any cake for her birthdate... Sad i know but its only to benefit her in the long run. Well I decided to put a lot of thought into a gift to get for her! It might be the simplest gift but it comes with a lot of thought! <br />
<br />
Well I know my little sister likes Jewelry - rings, bracelets, earrings, chains! She has a good amount of them so I decided to drive by the jewelry store and get her a nice stand/holder for her jewelry. I also bought a charm bracelet, a pair of earrings and a ring for her stand as well! <br />

I thought it was really neat and something that she'll actually utilize. Well she gasped like there was no air left in the room! She thought she wasn't getting anything for her b-date. I heard her say OMG like a million times! She didn't know i was home - ha ha, but she really liked it and that's what's important. Of course we're going out this weekend for her b-date to celebrate!MoiVal88http://www.blogger.com/profile/13122167630389236350noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468272359252277613.post-53337945137205017872011-12-15T15:38:00.000-06:002011-12-15T15:38:07.236-06:00Family TalentHello Family, Brr its cold out there! <br />

Her school put on a holiday program and all the age group went up to perform. Although most of the 1yr olds did go up there and cry, it was still cute just to watch. 'Rai enjoys singing and dancing! I have a great video that i can show you guys of her... that is soon to come! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />

Look who we have here... again it's Sa'Rai! My Little niece is growing up. She is less than a year and half but she's growing rather quickly; Responding when you speak to her and saying full sentences (that we don't understand).<br />
On thing she's pretty good at is technology and using all the gadgets that she has around her. Every cell phone in sight, you can use it one time in front of her and she remember exactly how to use it. Its amazing how kids learn. Well here are some pictures of Rai copying her aunti... Me! Usually every day Rai whould come home and take a gander at the piano and she's getting much better at it! Once she's 3 we should be able to teach her to play a scale. <br />

<br />
Today I wanted to post an update of the family's healthy living choices! We've recently embarked on a new journey to take care of our bodies and eat healthy. We have not necessarily eaten too bad but now we're taking it up a knotch. <br />
<br />
Our choices to make sure we're "Living right" includes Organic fruits and vegetables. For my family that can become a little costly because of the number of people we have but as i've explained to my mother. We're choosing quality foods that help us live longer, than the amount of junk that is accessible for a cheaper price which will cause diseases and eventually death. <br />
<br />
Our goal is long life if God! So taking care of our Temple is very important. I've posted some pictures of some recipes we're recently tried on my hair blog . The newest pictures I have were of our recently shopping trip to our local farmes grocer, <strong>Market Street</strong>. We usually wouldn't eat processed foods but just as long as it is natural and mainly organic we will try it (within our dietary restrictions). <br />
<br />
Shopping pictures!!! <br />
<br />
If you notice us looking at the products we are reading to make sure they are all Organic, wheat free, gluten free, sugar free! They are basically raw products - Live foods are the best for you! <br />

Well we had another event here in September. My niece miah decided to sign herself up for her schools pagent! Yes, our little tomboy is getting all perr-ti-fied for a Pagent. <br />
I wasn't able to go but her Mom and other Aunts were able to attend. Miah was a bit rough around the edges compared to the other little girls. She answered her questions intelligently as always but she did not win. Overall it was a great experience -I'm glad she had the opportunity to do it. Maybe we might just put her back into Karate though LOL! <br />

Well we had a hectic beginning of the month with a few struggles here and there but we ALL have some sort of struggle in our life time and this just happened to be one of them. <br />
<br />
In other news - I have decided to move out of my moms house and into an apartment for myself. I know it is a big move for me and its nothing that i've ever done before but its needed. Its my turn to tackle the world and i'm starting now! I'm still in school. Still working full time and plan to graduate next summer to move onto bigger and better things. <br />
<br />
I am very excited about the move and have a lot of support from my associates. I guess this little bird is leaving the nest! I will have to leave behind my beloved puppy Sophie and my Palatino piano! I will be back for them though! <br />

After 21 long hours they finally made it with excited and ready to have fun. <br />
<br />
So when the family get together of course you know we have to have fun!!! Granny, Aunti, Sister, Cousin, Niece, mother, daughter alike, we hit a great outlet mall here in an TX. Grapevine Mills Mall. When you have 9 women together with a male who is willing to whole the bags LOL... thats a recipe for disaster. Just envision the major jewelry haul we went on! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rykHwY8waDw/TkmqEL5pXVI/AAAAAAAAB10/3o02FuyVw9g/s1600/IMG_2160.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" naa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rykHwY8waDw/TkmqEL5pXVI/AAAAAAAAB10/3o02FuyVw9g/s320/IMG_2160.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Well after a long day of shopping we went to have a great lunch at Golden Corral. Our waitor was very handsome man with a nice smile that is willing to serve. Well my granny served him up such an entertaining conversation and he couldn't help but blush! She was auctioning off her granddaughters to this handsome waitor. We all sat there laughing and of course come to find out he's just about 40 yrs old ha ha ha ! ! That was interesting. <br />
<br />
Here was one of our activities that we enjoyed doing here together!! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw-uZkdZLNRdUCX6tbbwC1CcG9NRWrUgfaOMUc_dDT9iWGg84Xbhn76rgQ3luwSk1Op8uJrWYprNwHmx9CF5g' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
Texas is a super hot state and so what better way cool down than a dip in the pool. On their final day we took to the pool. Myself and Davina took the kids and the boys to the pool for a cool dip. Check em out! <br />

Now we've never met this person before but this is what i knew. Someone was getting married and I want to get out of Texas! <br />
<br />
No but really, My grandmas sister - Auntie Chris' son was getting married and my mom and oldest sis were invited so we were like HEY what abt the rest of us. 3 tickets later and we're headed to Dc. <br />
<br />
Vereene, Vania and I went up a couple days earlier just to relax and explore Washington. Although it was Hot AS EVER!.. We still took a tour on a open top bus. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CyHvfDxq6Ic/TmAIeSERKWI/AAAAAAAAB6I/kXkKyMKZeSE/s1600/IMAG0212-1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="238px" kca="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CyHvfDxq6Ic/TmAIeSERKWI/AAAAAAAAB6I/kXkKyMKZeSE/s320/IMAG0212-1-1.jpg" width="320px" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The only pic i have from the wedding :( </td></tr>
</tbody></table> After the wedding - Which was really nice and simple and fun! We headed over to NY. Ok here's the backdrop on that. I told my uncle that we were going to DC for the wedding. He suggested that my sisters and I take a train up to NY and just hang out with him for the weekend. Ok wow who would pass up that offer. <br />
<br />
So we left the wedding a bit early (11pm) and headed to our room to get ready for out 3am train ride to NY. Now we've never seen a train station or been on their train so hey why not add a new experience to our list! We took a cab to the station, walked around aimlessly for a bit and finally got out tickets and hopped on the train headed to NY.<br />
<br />
On the way, I slept uncomfortably in a chair next to a total stranger, I froze my butt off because it was SO cold... For my sisters it wasn't but I'm Anemic so I don't like temps below 79. I borrowed my sisters sweater, covered my head & arms, and clenched my jaw until we arrived. <br />
<br />
But before we did arrive we had a sudden stop on the Train, Everything was shut down and now we were sitting in the warm train for an HR! It wasn't hot to me but to my sisters it was HA HA! This unfortunate delay was due to a Deer - that was hit by the train and caused a slight hose damage. <br />
<br />
Finally arriving in NY, I was terrible uncomfortable being underground and around so much dirt. Got to the surface and it wasn't much cleaner ha ha... But it was time for fun. We met out uncle and went to his Manhattan apartment, changed and headed out to have fun. We went to six flags in NJ with some family and friends; I went on the biggest, fastest, scariest, breathtaking, lung bursting, gut clenching rides ever!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s46AJjF-lVs/TmuOgfMfB4I/AAAAAAAAB-k/CIRoO0yiuvo/s1600/Picture+041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" kca="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s46AJjF-lVs/TmuOgfMfB4I/AAAAAAAAB-k/CIRoO0yiuvo/s320/Picture+041.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
My Sisters... NOT 1 roller coaster ride. We had fun in the park for hours; I got a really cute shirt as well w/ a ring as a souvenir. We also went shopping in Harlem, found something I've been looking for, for months. We also took a Yacht ride with my uncle b/c of the company he worked for.<br />
<br />
Listen to this... So my uncle (heavy set, dark fella) Sponsored this event on the Yacht for patients that have recovered from Cancer, since we were coming to NY said that he asked to have some seats reserved for us as well. We arrived, met some other people and sat at our reserved table. (Mind you we didn't know what kind of event this was so we were a tad under dressed). While we were preparing to leave, some lady walks up to our table and says, "Excuse me, I'm sorry but these seats are reserved for Kathy". My uncle looks at her and doesn't say a word. My sisters and 2 of my uncles acquaintances advised we're aware of that. She walks off. The nerve of her... why didn't she just ask Kathy who the reserved seats were for and asked if we were THEM! <br />
<br />
Anyways... NY was fun... we flew home, got in at 1.30am and again the cycle if life repeats. <br />
The only new thing going on... My cousin DAVINA is here visiting for a Month so that should be UBER fun! We have a few things planned and birthdays coming up! <br />
<br />
P.S. I lost all my DC and NY pics so... :( I will take a pic of what I do have and try to post it up.MoiVal88http://www.blogger.com/profile/13122167630389236350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468272359252277613.post-53571569002250405882011-07-16T09:13:00.001-05:002011-07-16T09:18:15.241-05:00July 15th<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" m$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VXSFTOk6g5I/ThzJJh2pYII/AAAAAAAAA7Q/o8t7kU-TFV8/s1600/gI_0_NATURALHAIRrgb.jpg" /></div>Hello Family, so i wanted to make sure this was noted on record because this is a big deal for me. so as everyone knows i have another <a href="http://www.naturalandprofessional.blogspot.com/">hair blog</a> that I created and i'm all for natural hair and talking about it. Well recently joined and became a memeber of <a href="http://www.naturalhaircommunity.com/">Natural Hair Community</a>. <br />
<br />
Well I saw on their site that they were looking for people to write articles for them and I saw another request for freelance writers at naturally curly and I thought to myself, "I could probably write for them?"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.naturallycurly.com/">Naturall Curly</a> is offering $25 per 500 words but I don't know ... I mean who can sit there and write $500 words about HAIR? So i decided to write for Natural Hair Community. I submitted my first article earlier this week and I just happened to be featured TODAY on their website. I am so excited. I messaged everyone i knew! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvZ25XeIEMs/TiGcJO_MX7I/AAAAAAAAA-E/CRfgWPTCtu8/s1600/IMG_1674.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" m$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvZ25XeIEMs/TiGcJO_MX7I/AAAAAAAAA-E/CRfgWPTCtu8/s400/IMG_1674.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I think I did pretty well for a novice. My plan - to use my experience writing for Natural Hair Community and then move on to freelancing for $$ at Naturally Curly to show my experience. <br />

Its a short 4hr drive away. No big deal ! <br />
<br />
Well as some may know my brother trains in MMA - Muay Thai. Our family is a big supporter of our Bro, taking him to training and to his fights. So we're like his # 1 fans. <br />
<br />

<br />
On the 9th he had a fight in OK. He won his first fight and made it to the Last round. This fight he went 3 rounds with his competitor and landed a leg kick across his face and K.O !! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fvSrRkCy4Yo/ThyOcyib76I/AAAAAAAAA7M/MS8ek45p8As/s1600/IMG_1625%255B1%255D" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" m$="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fvSrRkCy4Yo/ThyOcyib76I/AAAAAAAAA7M/MS8ek45p8As/s400/IMG_1625%255B1%255D" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
So in the end my brother was the Title winner and We're super excited. This is his second belt and we're glad he's fulfilling his goals! <br />

Ok WAIT... Scratch that. Happy Birthday Daddy! <br />
<br />
Today we're actually going to celebrate my dad's birthday. He lives in the Caribbean Islands but he was here for his brithday. We had no idea what to do for his birthday. My mom mentioned he wanted a lap top for his b-day so that was the mission. <br />
<ol><li> Find out which one he wants</li>
<li>Sneak to purchase the laptop -- <strong>TOTAL</strong> failure </li>
</ol>My dad came to us and said I want to go to best buy to get a laptop can you take me to the store! Jaw-dropping... Ok aborted that mission right away.<br />
<br />
New Mission<br />
<ol><li>Invite friends and family over for BBQ at the house -- A <strong>HOT</strong> MESS </li>
<li>Get a gift card for Dad </li>
</ol> It was over 100 deg here in Texas and there was no way anyone was going outside to BBQ. Mission Fail !!<br />
<br />
Next Plan <br />
<ol><li>Get whole family together (nearly impossible)</li>
<li>Take dad to Cheesecake factory </li>
<li>Get gift card to Home depot </li>
</ol>Finally our plan was under way and we were near success. <br />
<br />

<br />
This month Vania had a Cello recital. She's been taking lessons since december of last year so roughly 6 months. She's always wanted to play cello and so with the gifted opportunity it was time for her to shine!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9rQTQashMXo/ThpfhTmxBkI/AAAAAAAAA6o/nJummMYVZ2A/s1600/IMG_1616.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" m$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9rQTQashMXo/ThpfhTmxBkI/AAAAAAAAA6o/nJummMYVZ2A/s320/IMG_1616.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<br />
At her recital she played "Mary had a little lamb" and "New World Symphony". She was actually the only cellist and in our family.<br />
<br />
We're looking forward to the new advances and more performances. <br />
<br />
Happy Living <br />

In between our already hectic schedules we somehow managed to incorporate a college science course that we both needed. I decided why not get it over with and take it in the summer, Vereene said she would join so here we Go. One month, 30 nights, countless hours and lack of sleep... and boy let me tell you... we were never without our text book. <br />

The hardest part about the class - Stoiciometry [ugh what a drag] ... the most fun - poising the water system of the town LOL!! Hey all i can say is that it wasn't me! <br />
<br />
Although we wore the dorkiest goggles and longest skirts to prevent accidents we met some really great people in class that didn't mind how we looked! <br />

Although it was hard, again I Say... it was hard especially if you work full time like us (we are 5 & 6 am waker-uppers), taking a 6-11 pm chemistry class every night is not for weak at heart but you do what you must to accomplish your goals. <br />
<br />
We haven't gotten our grades yet but we'll keep you posted on your progress. <br />
<br />
Stay Happy and enjoy <br />

She’s a cutie pie… trust me she is the NEXT Generation Gerber baby.

<br />
I decided i wanted to create a blog about my familys' "up to's". I used to think my family was boring and we never did anything but one month I stopped to look at our monthly activities. Let me tell you it was a Parade of a month! We had birthdays, holidays, traveling, family visiting, picnics and the list goes on. Well none of this was being recorded except for a few pics here and there so I said...hmm why not create a blog of everything that goes on monthly. That is exactly what I am doing. I'm going to start from last month June and head into this month July. We're only about 7 days into the month and we've missed a LOT. So lets get on with it shall we?!MoiVal88http://www.blogger.com/profile/13122167630389236350noreply@blogger.com0
