We're Back

So last year we decided to go away for the holidays, and thats what we did for Christmas this year we went away to Orlando. We left Sunday at 5 in the morning which was good the kids slept the entire way there. We did not have to stop, we made it to Orlando in less then 3 hours.

This is Anthony's face when we were getting to Disney World he was looking at the entrance which is a big arch were they have a Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck.
We went to Epcot that day, it was Ok, not a park to take kids, I should have known since I have been there but Jose wanted to go there rather than Animal Kingdom. Anthony did get to meet ALL the characters Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy and he loved it. It was hilarious to see him in the line to meet them and take pictures, he was like an obsessed fan, crying and screaming for Mickey and holding on to the pole while I was pulling him away to continue in the line. Then when we finally got to Mickey he was in total shock he was just staring at him in disbelief. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Christmas Eve we spent it at Magic Kingdom and it was amazing the weather was perfect the decorations looked beautiful. We saw the Christmas Parade and the Night Christmas show which both were very pretty and Anthony enjoyed it very much. Every time he saw a Disney character his eyes would light up.

We did not go on any rides because the lines were just to long and Anthony would not appreciate them any way, but Anthony did play in two playgrounds, one by Mickey Mouse's House and the other was Pooh's house which in both he had a blast. The park was actually going to be open till 1 am but we were just to tired and left at about 8 pm.

We had Christmas dinner at a Denny's close to the Hotel, and that was a mess it took forever, they were short staffed.
Anyway Christmas Day we spent it a Sea World and that was a lot of fun. I had made reservations to have lunch Backstage of the Believe show which is the one with Shamu the Killer whale. That was pretty cool the tank is right next to you and you could see the whale. I wanted to do something nice for Christmas for all of us to enjoy. After that we got to see the Shamu show from reserve sitting, seats weren't to bad.

They had a giant playground we kids could play and a place were kids could play in the water. Which of course Anthony played in for a every long time, we left that park at about 6pm. On Wednesday we did not do much we spent the day at Downtown Disney and did some shopping, and then hung out at the hotel at night and watched Ratatouille the newest movie to our collection. On Thursday we decided to go to Kennedy Space Center. It was manly for Jose he waned to got there and look around and they had a simulated launch which Jose went on I did not go I stayed behind with the kids that were sleeping. After we did that we came home and that was the end of our holiday vacation. Now back to reality I am NOT looking forward to New Years we are already being torn between the two families. AHHH! I just wish we would move away so that I wouldn't have to deal with this ridiculous issues about who spends what time with who.

Happy Holidays!!

This is hilarious.

My days are NEVER boring.

Where do I begin today when I was making breakfast, I noticed that both of the kids where very quiet but I did think much of it. When I got to the living room it was a whole different story. Anthony had gotten to the corn starch. It was pretty much every where, the floor, the sofa, Gaby and even the cat, but I couldn't get a picture of him.

That's Gaby trying to reach the corn starch to eat it.


On Monday Anthony took half of the Christmas balls out of the tree and put them in Gaby's play pen with her in it. She was having a blast with the Christmas balls. When I was taking them out to put them back on the tree she started crying hysterically, all because I would let her eat them. She had glitter everywhere on her face.

This is her crying with glitter all over her face.

It's been a while

A lot has happened since the last time I blogged. Gaby turned 6 months old, Anthony is driving me crazy most of the day and me and my mother don't talk at all, anyway. Gaby is doing great she is moving around, she kind of crawls, its more of scooting around similar to what Anthony used to do. She is smiling a lot and I love when I tickle her, her laugh is the best thing ever. Anthony has a new obsession its Mickey Mouse. Which is good because we are going to Disney World for Christmas.

Anyway Halloween was ok it rained here so I got stuck with a bunch of candy, but we did take the kids Trick or Treating at the Mall and to the neighbors that wanted to see their costumes. Gaby was Princess Leia and Anthony was Darth Vader, they looked great.

Anthony loves music and any time he sees dad listening to the IPOD he wants to listen to it. I have to find a music class of any kind and see if he'll like it.

He has been pretty good, he is talking a lot. Puts words together to make sentences, but I think I am the only one that can understand most of the time. I can't believe all the things he says and does, he is growing up so fast. I am so glad that I can stay home with both of my kids and enjoy every moment with them, even thought it is not great all the time. The good days make it all worth it.

We're Back!

Yes we are back, Home Sweet Home. The trip did not start how we expected it but hey at least we survived 5 day out of the country with the kids. To start off, on Thursday we woke up late, then when we went to the Airport the Airline (Spirit) made us pay for Anthony, even though I called back in April when we bought our tickets and asked if he had to pay full price or just taxes, the retard on the other line said No, both of the kids just have to pay for taxes. What sucks the most is that we paid more for Anthony's ticket then Jose's and mine combined. Then when we got to Costa Rica it just got worst the Airline LOST the kids luggage, everything we had for them was gone. I mean everything the outfits for the wedding, shoes, pj's, everything, I had to buy them new cloths, because there are no little kids in the family except for my kids. Then when we get there it turned out that we had to stay at my grandmothers house because my cousin apartment had issues with the hot water and that was another thing I did not want to do because my grandmother has major issues, I would write about it but I could spend ALL day on it. Then every time I would ask how to get to the bus, to go outside the city, to the beach or a volcano, my mother especially, wanted to freak us out and tell us that we would get mugged or stabbed which is not true. She just wanted to mess with our plans, I don't know why maybe she was mad or jealous of the cool things that we wanted to do. Anyway besides ALL that we had a pretty good time, Friday we did a coffee tour, Saturday we went to the wedding. After the wedding Jose and his sister and her boyfriend went to the Pacific Ocean. I stayed back because it was a 3 hour bus ride and I did not want to do that with the kids to stay at the beach for a couple of hours and then come back. I stayed back and talk to a friend of mine that actually moved to Costa Rica 3 years ago and we got together and spoke for hours she met the kids and spent the night with us. The next day the 4 and my friend went to the capital walked around and bought some souvenirs,while Jose sister and her boyfriend went to a Volcano. Then on Monday we went to a National Park and did the Canopy thing and a Sky Bucket which was pretty cool and walked around the park. When we got back from that The Airline called my aunt told her that the bag was found and that we could pick it up, but it was to late then since we were leaving Tuesday anyway. We just asked for our bag when we were at the ticket counter. It turned out that the bag was at Fort Lauderdale airport for 2 days and then it was sent to the Dominican Republic and then to Costa Rica. So I am going to call our friend who is an attorney and have her write a letter about the whole ordeal and see if maybe we get get some our money back. I will NEVER fly with Spirit Airlines ever again.

The main reason we went to Costa Rica, my cousin's Wedding. It was beautiful.


The wedding was at a Amusement park, on a part of the park call Pueblo Antiguo, meaning Old Town. It supposed to be how Costa Rica used to look like back in the day. It had everything there a little Market which is were the reception was held and they had a City Hall i mean everything you would find in a town they had it there even a train.
