Time gets away from me



WOW! It is now December and my last post was September?!?! What have we been up to?
A lot has happened, the kids are in school, AJ has started Tae Kwon Do, The Holidays are creeping up really fast, Baseball is now over till the spring.
The kids are staying busy, AJ plays ball and does martial arts now days. He is loving every bit of them both. Annabel is yet to be in anything, we are waiting till she turns 4, like we did with AJ. But she is more then happy to cheer for her brother in all his activities!
We are settling into our house, as we have decided to stay here for the time being. So I am wanting to make loads of changes and make this place "HOME" Bring on the work!!
Ricky has also turned the BIG 30 in the last month, we had a nice party at the Toyota center for him in a suite for the Guns N Roses concert. Nice 8-'s theme, we had a good time.
Other then keeping up with the kids, Ricky and I are well. Staying busy with work also is a full time activity. We are just trying to get cozy in this winter weather we are having and enjoy our family time during the Christmas Holiday!!
We hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and an Amazing New Year!!

Long Lost Blogging....

Well I seam to have wondered away from blogging for the past month and 1/2. I have been very busy this summer, with working, handling kids, keeping the house clean. It's been fun, hectic, overwhelming, tiring, I could go on. But I wouldn't trade any of it! A mother's work is never done!
Summer is coming to a close. The kids start school Monday the 22nd, AJ in kindergarten and Annabel back to Montessori school. They are both very excited, on the outside mommy is excited too. But deep down I'm sad I wont have my sidekicks with me driving me bonkers.
A few things have happened in the last few month/weeks, I had my 30th birthday in New Orleans, a group of my friends went down and we enjoyed a nice weekend! I am officially 30, whatever that means! UGH! We took the kids to Florida again this summer, just like last summer. I believe we are going to make this an annual family vacation spot for our little family. The kids love going to Florida and playing in the ocean, finding shells, splashing in the "big" pool, spending time with us and their grandparent's.
AJ is signed up for baseball for the fall, I can't wait to watch our little slugger in action again. As for Annabel we are waiting till she turns 4 to put her in anything. Just like we did AJ. But boy is she ready to be involved!
As for that goes our summer has been pretty relaxing, a lot of swimming, hanging out with friends, and family, movie nights, ice cream nights. It's been enjoyable to say the least!!
Pictures will be up soon....

Time Flies

WOW, where has the time gone?
It's already June 1st, summer time, hurricane season, hot days ahead, screaming kids!
We had AJ's 5th birthday in May, he had an Army theme this year. He is his daddy's mini me, he plays call of duty, so he's all about soldiers.
Baseball season has come to an end for now, and soccer is soon to begin. Annabel will be starting dance soon as well. I have started helping out here at the office, so I am a working mama now! The kids last day of school was yesterday, Annabel has two more years left at Montessori School and AJ is now moving on to Kindergarten!!! So so sad! Summer has officially began....

Pics to come soon!

Baseball 2011-spring

AJ is playing baseball this spring with ORWALL...He is a KC Royal! I have some family ties to the Royals so it was pretty neat to see AJ was playing on this team. He is loving every minute of playing America's Sport! He is actually really good when he pays attention. Just like his daddy very active in all sports.





Easter 2011

Hope everyone had a great Easter....He is Risen!!!

We went to the Ranch like we do every year, the kids had an egg hunt. We enjoyed family time. The weather was beautiful! We did all the traditional Easter goodies. Dyed eggs, hunted eggs, received Easter baskets. Prayed the loving word and what Easter is all about!

Happy 3rd Birthday Annabel

No more terrible 2's!!!!!!
Well I say that and Annabel is the most sassy girl I have met! Sweet girl turned 3 this month...
She is a very sweet, loving, adorable, sassy, bratty, sensitive, energetic, hyper, caring, talkative, little girl ever!
She is doing great in school, she knows her colors, ABC's,and shapes very well. We are still in the process of potty training her, it has been a struggle. But I believe she is finally catching on....thank god!
We shall see what this year brings us with her learning and growing up so fast. Can't wait to see what god has in store for us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!

Things...

Well not much going on in The Villarreal household lately. Just keeping up with the kids and house work. Most know our house is on the market, it's very tiring to say the least. We have had alot of activity (exciting)! Lets just pray it sells soon.

We have got AJ all ready for T-ball, starting next week. We are teaching him to catch with his glove. He has the hitting and throwing down to a T...Forget T-ball he's ready to play with the big kids! He is very excited and wants to be on the Good Team! He keeps saying he wants to play second base, A Ok with me, now can he be #7 too or is that to much to ask? Then with that combination maybe the Big Leagues don't look so far away!! (Biggio was my all time Fav. Astro)
He is doing well in school, this is his last year at his Montessori school, he is in Pre-K there. He has his days where he wants nothing to do with school and other days he asks for more and more work. He is Mr. popular at school, can get him in trouble sometimes. I guess we have our hands full in the up coming yrs!
He is getting better at writing his name, doing good with his letters and numbers. The things he says sometimes are funny....

He told my mom this weekend he needed to talk to her about getting tattoos from the store.
AJ: Ni why did you get me tattoos? My mom says we can't have them.
Ni: Honey I didn't know tattoos came with your monster truck.
AJ: Well we need to talk about this!
Ni: (holing back a laugh) Ok well lets talk!

He is getting so big so fast, He will be 5 in May! We have a Kindergartner! AM I really getting old?

AJ 4yrs


As for Annabel goes, well she is a hoot! She will be 3 in March and she thinks she is a princess. She is all about dress up, and playing with her babies. She isn't big on sports right now. I try to get her to play soccer with me and AJ and she just rather watch. She wants to be in dance, but I keep telling her that she has to be out of diapers. Well she tells me she's just not ready!
That is one set back with her, I can't get her potty trained. It's making me crazy! AJ was easy.

Annabel is a sassy thing, she is a 25lb ball of fire! She picks fights with her brother on a daily basis, she points her finger at me and daddy when we tell her to do something. But she is a sweet little thing too. Very lovey and a tender heart.

Annabel 2yrs


Ricky and I have been blessed with two great kids! Yes parenting is challenging on a daily basis but all in all I love it! I think they are understanding that we are the boss and what we say goes. AJ has gotten his xbox taken away lots of times and Annabel knows what all four of her bedroom walls look like!

Ready to see what February is going to bring to our little family!

Alot to be thankful for that's for sure!
