Gazebos

It would have been nice if we have a little gazebos in our backyard, so to hang out there during summertime. But then i guess even though that our backyard looks big to me already, hubby said that it isn't that big enough space for us to have a fancy backyard. I am just wishing we have a bigger place, especially now that our kids are growing way too fast. I am sure that they will be needing a bigger space and bigger room of their own, plus a bigger backyard where they can mostly hang out with their classmates and friends.

Sports Trophies

I could not believe myself that my nephew is getting a lot of sports trophies lately. I was still thinking that he is only a little boy but i didn't realize that he is now a grown young man. Where did my mind go? It has been awhile since i haven't seen that boy and i am sure that i will be surprise how tall he is nowadays. I couldn't wait until i see him and the rest of my family. It makes me even more excited when he told me about his progress.

Small Business Loans

If ever i would make my own business, i hope i will be qualified with small business loans. I do want to start my own photography business but i have no enough funds to start it today. Maybe one day i have to file and application so i can get the capital i need. I am just imagining that soon as my business will grow and will do great like what i am hoping for it would be, i can just easily pay the load with no problem. I have a lot of things in my mind right now and i am just a hopeful woman with good spirit :)

The Lil' Model

The little one is always my model, since the big brother goes to school during weekdays, only me and him gets left behind in the house during the day. Daddy goes to work and big brother goes to school. He's only two years old yet, i am seeing some signs already that he is starting not to like facing the camera all the time. So, what i mostly get from him are stolen shots. But, i love it though for i always end up capturing real emotions and facial expressions. Just like this picture below i attached. He was just sitting there the wood chair i gave him and i captured the sweet moment of this little guy of mine.

Spine Surgery

I keep hearing about this Spine surgery Dallas that there are some good surgeons that does the surgery successfully. In fact, my friend's father just had his spine surgery and everything went well. For now he is just recovering at home and trying to be back to normal. It takes awhile before everything will be just like before for him, but he is very happy that the operation was a successful one.

Employment Background Checks

I still remember when i first applied for a job here in America, i was so excited and really thought that i could get the job i was wishing to have. But then because i have lack of experience they didn't hire me. Sadly when they did my employment background checks, they didn't find nothing, because all my employment records were from my country which they don't really count it here. But oh well, there's perfect time for everything, i still am hoping i could get a good job for me.

Sing A Song

It has been two days now since i started looking for easy songs for the guitar because my friend wanted to surprise his girlfriend and he'll sing a song on her birthday. He said that he is not quite good yet playing the guitar that's why he wants to find the easiest song to sing. So, i am helping him and it makes me excited thinking about the upcoming birthday of his girlfriend. I am sure it'll be one of her beautiful moments in her life :)

SAVE THE DATES

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

One of my best friends recently got engaged. She is getting married this coming October, one year after she got engaged. She has asked me to be a bridesmaid and I am having soooo much fun looking at all of the wedding sites using my clearwirelessinternet.net connection. I got married not to long ago, but I feel like there is always some new and excited coming out in the wedding world. Yesterday, I had fun going to Vista Print.com and helping her pick out a save the date. She ended up getting a great deal on Groupon for save the dates. She wanted something that was going to reflect the fall theme for her wedding. I’m not sure which one that she is going to choose, but I actually really liked the one that her fiancé chose. It was a simple card with falling leaves. The ink looked great against the ecru back ground. I have been searching the internet for bridesmaid dresses. I am so excited to be involved in the planning process!

Missing Him When He Was A Baby

I sure miss my youngest when he was just a baby like this photo above. I can't help but to be sad because i know for sure that he is my last baby since i can't make one anymore. But, on the other hand, i am happy as well for he growing fast like he supposed to. He's learning a lot of things and now starting to learn how to read letters and numbers, yet not to mention the fact that he is only two years old. He was actually, a little late when it comes to reading compared to his big brother but i am very happy that they both started to learn reading around the same age. I am looking forward to see his fast progress on these coming days.

Anyway, this photo i attached above was taken during our trip to Arizona to see the grand canyon for the third time. Unfortunately, he was not feeling well that time so i had to sponge bathe him with cold water to cool him down. He was having a high fever and had a hard cough. Luckily i brought some medicine with us, that somehow helped him a bit. Looking at his picture makes me realized that i cannot really keep him little like i wanted to. Sure babies grow so fast nowadays, and no matter how i tried to stop it, it is just impossible to do.

Dream For My Kids

Seeing some kids playing different kinds of instruments makes me hopeful that at least one of my kids will get interested playing at least a few of them. When i saw a kid playing his yamaha motif xs8 on the tv, it made me imagine that my son was the one who's playing it. I love music and instruments, but it would be too late for me to learn one. So i am just handing that dream to my kids. And i am sure that soon as they start playing an instrument, they can't take it off from their system because they are going to love it for sure.

Personalized Ballet Gifts

I can't believe how time flies so fast nowadays! My close friend who moved in another state, came back here for a visit of her family and some good friends like me. The last we've seen each other was her daughter was only a tiny little baby! Now, she is going to school like my son and she is enrolled to a ballet class. And because her birthday is fast approaching and will be celebrating it here, i got to find some cool ideas of personalized ballet gifts so i can give to my friend's daughter. I need to do it asap because i've got not much time left.

Vacation Adventure

This coming summer time, i can't wait to go hiking with my friends! We will be bringing our bikes on top of the mountain so we can enjoy our stay even more while we were there. Aside from my photography hobby, it would be awesome if we'll go biking too. But, since i don't have a yakima bike rack like what my friends have, i guess i have to buy me one so i can put my bike on top of my car during our vacation adventure.

Cardiologist Jobs

Seriously, i am very impressed with all the doctors in the world for they mostly do such an amazing job. Just like the Cardiologist Jobs, i am sure that they went through a lot of studies and experience for them to be called a successful doctors. I am not wishing to be one myself anymore since i am just not in the right age to begin with it now, all i wish and hope that one of my boys will get interested to become one and or maybe a doctor to something else.

Kids Activities

Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson

Four years ago, I quit my job as a nurse to stay home with our four kids. I love staying at home with them, but I told my husband yesterday that I need a break. Two of our kids are in school and the other two kids are home with me full time. Every day I look forward to my husband getting home. It is not that I don’t love staying home, but I enjoy it so much when my husband is there with me to share responsibilities. None of our kids have ever been good nappers, so I get very little down time during the day. I have been trying to come up with creative ways to keep the kids entertained, especially since it has been so cold outside lately. A friend of mine told me to search “wireless internet Kennewick” so we could get internet. I think I will because that will allow me to find some activities for them online. I never knew that being a stay-at-home mom would be such a challenge, but I must say that it is the most rewarding challenge I have ever encountered.

Daddy's Operation

It's been a torture for the two boys yesterday as we waited for Daddy's operation to get it over with. It took three hours for the surgery to finish, and we are glad that everything went fine, although there is not really much to worry about because it's only a minor surgery but we don't really know what might could have happen.

Anyway, the kids were so bored to death waiting in the lobby. Good thing that i brought their nintendos with us and that's what made them occupied for just a bit. The big brother got tired playing and decided to read newspapers in the lobby and the little one decided to play my iphone. So here's the photos i got during our long wait at the lobby. Luckily, there was a vending machine by the hallway and bought the kids some treat that made them happy. After few minutes of walking back and forth, Daddy came out from the room and we're ready to go home. The kids fell asleep in the car as i drove them back home.

Medical Malpractice

A friend of mine asked me if i can help her to look for a medical malpractice insurance quote. I have no idea why she wants me to look for certain things but i am glad i was able to help her and found some. She said that her husband's friend wanted to sue the doctor for doing such malpractice. He went to the said doctor and found out that there was something wrong after the surgery, something was not right. So they want to file a case against the said doctor. Good thing that nothing happened to my friend's husband, because it was the same doctor who operated to her husband's friend. How scary.

Data Storage Systems

Before i got introduced to a technology world of external hard drive, i used to just save all my data files in the CD. But when i learned about the external hard drive, i was so happy that finally, i get to save all the data files in one gadget, not one two or three CD's that i have to store all my files, particularly the photos. Especially now that my photos are big files for i am using the DSLR's that makes big files of images.

But then when i told my friends about how happy i am i got my EHD, someone said that it isn't even enough to store all my pictures because the thing could break anytime, just like what happened to her. She trusted all her life to EHD and suddenly it broke on her. She was devastated and very upset because she couldn't retrieve her data files in it. So from then on, she started using data storage systems that made her feel safe since then.

What it does is she store all her data files outside from her computer, EHD or any other type of storage things. The advantage is, she can just go to her account there and look for the files she wants to pull out and she can do that anytime, even if she is not using her own computer or bringing along the EHD with her.

Redfeather Snowshoes

My first born child can't wait to go sledding again this year. He keeps on bugging me about it although he knew there is not much of a snow here in our town yet. And the other thing is, i don't have redfeather snowshoes yet as well, and i have to go and buy myself one. I already got him last year and he did like it because he was the one who chose the color and style. I have never done sledding before not until my son got interested about it, and i guess i will be doing this every year from now on.

Yoyo From Santa

I guess i still have plenty of time to shop for the boys's presents! Although i know that stores nowadays are getting crowded because of most people doing their Christmas holiday shopping, still i am not that worried because most of the things that i really like to shop is online. Just like the yoyos that my first born child listed in his Christmas wishlist to send it to Santa. For i know Santa has already something for him, it wouldn't be that much if i will cover it instead. But, of course i wouldn't tell him it came from me, i will still put label on it that it was from Santa so he won't get disappointed :)

The Delicate Arch In Moab Utah

The last time we've been to this very amazing work of nature was when MD was only about the same age as his little brother. I was so amazed by this piece of big rock on top of the mountain in Moab, Utah. You just have to realize how did the nature do this "Delicate Arch" as they call it. Really, it'll blow your mind away because, it's only the wind, rain and probably earthquake can make such a magnificent work of art. The rock itself is beautiful because of its vivid orange color. Unfortunately, i could not find the picture when the last time we've been to this place. But then, it wasn't as good as this pictures below though for i was only using a point and shoot camera then.

But last Sunday, i was so happy that unexpectedly we again, went to this place. It was actually an unplanned trip going there, but because it was on the way as we head home, we decided to just might as well stop by. Although we didn't hiked the three mile up all the way to that Arch in the background, still i am happy enough that i got some snaps of it using my 18-200 mm lens. I am surprised that i didn't hear the kids whine, not one bit. In fact, they enjoyed the one mile hiking part and back. Really, i am very happy to have our family pictures taken on this place. This arch is mostly seen by the vehicles's license plate numbers here in Utah.
