Finally updating...hahahha

So after Mother's Day, I promised to update at least once a week but that didn't happen because ALL the girls were sick after Mother's Day and when they were getting better I got sick. It's been almost two weeks that I have been suffering from the flu. Aside from the cough< I think I'm feeling better. The girls are better about a week ago but I think Jelynn is starting to get sick again. Her body is not liking San Francisco weather. SO I've been thinking of maybe moving back to San Diego because the weather is really taking a toll on her body plus the fact that she goes to school now. She is exposed to more germs everyday. I really want to stay here because it saves us money hahaha but if the girls keep getting sick it's not really worth it.The flu season has never been good to them. They had to use the nebulizer with albuterol and pulmicort to clear their lungs especially Jelynn because she had some pneumonia. She missed school for a couple of days and was crying over it. She's crazy that way hahaha. She LOVES school so much she even wanted to go summer school than take a vacation. I'll have to talk to the school how many days can she miss during the summer because we're planning on a roadtrip. If less than a week she might not go to summer school. It's fine anyways I mean she's been doing so well in school I don't think she needs a refresher course over the summer.

Jelynn never went to preschool and we were thinking of doing the same thing with Jewelle because she's also pretty advance for her age but that might not happen. I don't know if it's the middle child syndrome or something but she can be really difficult. You tell her no and she thinks you're joking and laughs at you. She has this "I, Me, Mine" syndrome where everything is HERS! What is hers she doesn't share, what is her Ate it's also hers. Plus when she doesn't get what she wants she cries so loud you'd think she was being tortured or something. She would throw tantrums after tantrums until you get tired and finally gives in. I think it is probably my fault she turned out spoiled because she was always getting sick..allergies after allergies that whenever she asks for something I would usually give it to her. Now that's she's older and we're trying to teach her the concept of NO she doesn't get it. The thing with Jewelle is she's so sweet, always saying I love you and giving me kisses that when she asks for something you don't have the heart to say no and that's the problem she got used to it. So we're thinking of putting her in preschool where she can learn about sharing, not getting what you want and all that before she starts kindergarden next year. Hopefully she also grows out of it like Jelynn did. It's just it's taking her awhile.

What can I say about Jessela? She's an angel. She's such a good baby. She hardly cries and only cries when she's hungry or needs diaper change. She's also very social and laughs and smiles at everyone who plays with her. She has been sleeping through the night for awhile back so my sleep has been really great. She's almost 8 months and she's so heavy. She has arms bigger than Jelynn. She weighs almost 20lbs hahaha. It's a workout to carry her lol. She's been babbling too and keeps saying Dada. Oh well I guess it's about time one of the kids' first word is dada lol. She has this habit where she shakes her head and I say no then she laughs and does it again. I guess there's a little rebel in her. She also has her two teeth on the bottom and flashes her two teeth everytime you talk to her as if saying "look I have two teeth."

As for me, I have been busy doing layouts after layouts. Since I finally got my mojo might as well use it. I can't do blog updates like I used to and I don't even get to do paid posts anymore unless it's payu because I just don't have the time or shall we say patience to keep checking for opportunities every hour or so. And I'm lazy on making an advertised post hehehe. That's the main reason I'm lazy to think of what to post. And it's either blogging or scrapping and I chose scrapping. I just don't have the energy like before where I can do everything all at once. And I like to spend more time with Jessela and Jewelle before they start school because you don't get to spend as much time with them when they start school. With scrapping I could do it anytime of the day. I usually do layouts when I finally put them all to sleep. It's been great actually. Mommy to three kiddos isn't as hard as ?I first thought. It's challenging and it challenges me every single day and I'm happy.


Rico comes back tomorrow from his 5 month deployment. We're all so excited especially the girls because I know how much they miss their Dad. Throughout the five months he was away, he would send the girls dvd of him reading a fairytale story and I could see it in their eyes how much they miss their father. It breaks my heart to see them touching the tv and say "Daddy, we miss you." And finally he is coming home to San Diego tomorrow and flies here on Wednesday morning to surprise the girls especially Jelynn when she gets off school.

I'll share some layouts that I've done the last month:










I have a couple bit more if you wanna see them they are in my Flickr account along with other recent pics of the girls. Thank you for looking.

So that's my little update. I'm sorry if I haven't been returning tags or links.I will try to update more and link everybody up as soon as I can. Hopefully I can update once a week. I won't aim high because I might not be able to do it. I thank you dropping by even though I don't update as before. Thanks and have a great week ahead.
