galvez family

it has been so long that I haven’t got the chance to use my computer because one, we moved to new house, second so much unpacking and that is with a 7th month old baby on the side… things are pretty much the same with me but for my kids they are growing so fast and changing into their own identity… anyway, they had a blast with halloween and they like the new house we are in( actually they have their own rooms na kaya they have their much wanted privacy(especially pau). I still do the same old things that a mom should do and the fact that I don’t have time for myself except when I sleep is getting tiring but I am not complaining since when they get old and have their own lives, I would miss it. Every moment with them is so precious especially with kimberly because they grow up so darn fast and pau scares me since she is already a teenager and is starting to have her own life, I still love them and they are still my babies no matter how old they are.

check out my album  I placed some of the halloween pcitures there. cyah and God Bless you.

hi everyone… sorry if i was out for quite sometime. We were so busy with things that I can’t even explain how it got done. anyway, it all started when my three kids went on their day camp… I was so busy that my day ended with total exhaustion. then came the kids physical examination for school which was practically all day waiting in the doctors office and in the lab for their blood drawn… then came kimberly’s baptism which was a blast since a lot of people came.. August 6, 2005 at 12:30 pm, Queen of the Valley Hospital Chapel and the reception was at 200pm which lasted until 300am I slept at 500am since I had to clean and kimberly woke up at 700 am so I think you get the picture that I was so bent up with fatigue and had to clean the remaining things that me and my hubby couldn’t do at 5am. then roderick had friends over that came from the philippines so we had to take them were they had to go with the kids in tow how hard is it???!!! things a bit low now since his friends is their relatives house and I got to do this blog since the baby is asleep now… check out my album to see some of the pictures of the baptism.

actually, july 18 was the birthday of my hubby and we just celebrated at home the whole kicking back and watching a movie and had a swim in the community pool which was a nice quality time with my family… by dinner time, we called his dad and we ate at panda garden buffet which meant…. a lot of food and boy we were all up to our necks with food… my kids gave him stuff that he can use at work…. white t-shirts(he was complaining about how old his white shirts were), a tommy bahama shirt(from me of course),some cheap stuff from the two girls(cigarettes, lighter, a pillow and a massager)..all in all it was a fun day for us kasi naman po, my husbands dream came true daw!!! on his birthday he was surrounded by girls with bathing suits on!!!(it was hilarious).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST WONDERFUL, LOVING, CARING AND HARD WORKING HUSBAND AND FATHER! WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!!

from your girls!

I just realized today that me and kimberly didn’t have any pictures taken during the 5-day party of Pau, I guess I was preoccupied with kimberly and planning and stuff kaya wala akong picture (feeling pretty pa naman ako nun pero aminado ako and taba ko na, can’t loose weight just yet kasi I am breastfeeding(which is econimical for us)) besides, Pau was holding the camera most of the times kaya siya ang full of pix.

  Yesterday we went to Santa Barbara to meet Tito Tony Agoncillo and Tita Donna (NY) we had a pretty tiring day since we did a round trip there(4hrs going and back) the kids where beat and I fell asleep as soon as the baby slept and woke up around 10 am na.. it was fun kasi we got to talk for an hour, they had to leave for a tour or something so we ended up hungry with jenny and jeff, we were looking for a place to eat dinner and we ate at Fish house, they have good food.we ate so fast that everything in our plates were gone in a blink of an eye(harharhar). it was nice to see them again, I just wished we got to spend time longer but I guess there will be a next time. I miss my family back home and I wish I could go home, siyempre alang datung, dami namin eh(talo agad sa pamasahe). Maybe next year when kimberly is one, we could go…

Don’t forget to check out new photos in my albums k…

sorry everyone if I wasn’t able to post for quite sometime now.. we had been so busy because of my eldest daughter’s 13th birthday, June 29.. it was quite a gathering though since it lasted for 5 hard party days, it started June 26 when she had her slumber party her in our house.. there were 12 kids (11 girls and one uncle same age though) people came around 7 pm and they ate dinner and watched a movie then had to decorate hats for their souvenier for the party(just look at the albums who won) then my biggest mistake was feeding them ice cream cake at 10 pm.. I tell you, all of them were hyper and I had to let them play dance revo with the playstation to release their energy and had to let them play twister moves because they seemed to go on forever!!! they settled down a bit but didn’t want to go to bed so made them watch 2 movies and sent them to bed but no!!!!!! they were awake and played whipped cream on each other and stay up until 6 am… June27 they woke up at 11 am and ate breakfast and went swimming until it was time to go to fullerton and go knott’s berry farm.. they had a blast…. June 28 they went to beaumont to go cabazon for shopping.. June 29 me and my family had a simple dinner out in LA and June 30 the chaos begins again, preparing to go to Vegas we did last minute errands and by July 1, 800 am we are on our way to Vegas and boy!!!!! the kids are funny especially with their cousins, Pau went shopping a Prim valley outlet with her birthday money and got ready for the reunion party! (she celebrated her birthday again with all the singing and dancing she loved the attention,hehehehe).she got to see all most of our relatives from all over US and some in the Phil.. but she surely misses angela,mapet and ray now… July 2 we ate in a buffet and just talked for hours with some of the relatives and slept late again, July 3 was the hardest day because of saying goodbyes… angela and her family was going to germany and most of the LA family had to go home already.. we ate buffet again at the RIO hotel(all seafood and everyone gobbled up anything the saw(it was hilarious) and July 4 we went to the grove with maryrose and nina so see some fireworks but we end up staying in the parking lot to see fireworks coming from somewhere we don’t know, it was ok and fun, for the kids.. watched a movie afterwards and went home to sleep…

the funny thing about whole week was we weren’t tired at all but as soon everyone is gone, we felt like someone threw a stone at us and knock us down dead! I miss everyone now.. my family and my hubby’s family… they are quite big and I always have a good time when I am with all of them… I love you guys so much!

Actually, it was yesterday that she graduated from pre-school and we had a lot of errands to do that was why I wasn’t able to post on this blog but I was able to post some pictures in the album so feel free so look. Anyway, they had a small presentation for the parents and they sang four lovely songe but I only understood two songs and that was we are family and three hotdogs in a pan, which made my heart melt with laughter..

And yesterday was the first time we got to take a picture of kimberly  smiling, she was smiling since last month but I just couldn’t get that smile in the camera so my hubby helped me and there is her beautiful smile. she talks back with her coos and aahs now and it is so much fun just to look at her smile back at you.

pau had her friend over and her name is Christiana. they get along really fine. I hope they would be classmates next school year.

rochelle just loves to take care of her sister and play with monica our neighbor(christiana’s sister). she calls tommy every now and then or tommy calls her but today tommy had to go to ohio for a vacation and he called to say good bye to rochelle and promised rochelle he will be back in two weeks and would come and play with her soon.

hiya!!! actually summer started last saturday and we were not home because derick was not working so we did some cruising around and my brother in law from san jose dropped by the house and cooked papaitan with my hubby and their dad.  sunday was a little celebration for pau, rochelle and danielle’s days in school… nothing much it was a spontaneous thing, my inlaws were here and my friend and pau’s godfather, ronald"pogie" was here, merald flaked on us again(har har har), she had work, raymond slept over here and my kids had fun with him. I took the kids shopping and we ate at hongkong express which was their favorite place to eat(and of course, chuckEcheese), we went home around 2pm and they were complaining it was hot so took them for a dip and now they are watching spongebob marathon on TV.

today was so tiring, I had to be in three places today…I took my kids to school and my eldest had to go to upland hockey rink to have their 6th grade party 830-1130am and my second daughter had to be at memorial park 11am-200pm, I had to pick up danielle at her field trip at round table at 12pm and with kimberly in tow I had to be everywhere today and darn I am really beat, I still haven’t gotten used to being a mom eventough I have four already,  this is what I get for being so involved with my kid’s life but who’s complaining, all I want to know is if my kids are safe, right???? I saw their happy eyes running around and doing stuff!! Amazing how much energy they have even after school. at least tomorrow is the last day of Pau and Rochelle and I only have a week to go for danielle! yeah!!! summer time is here and I get to sleep a little bit longer than usual… have a safe one!

yesterday, june 7,2005.. my eldest pau had her spelling bee and she won first place and she did pretty amazing job in beating her opponents. I am so proud of you.

today, pau and rochelle received their honor roll award for the third trimester and year round honor roll, they both finished number one in their class and hopefully, they would do good until college. rochelle was so happy because her best friend tommy got honor roll award too(the guy in the yellow shirt or polo)!I am such a stage mom taking their pictures and even though I had my other daughters in tow…

pau got the presidential award for being straight A from grade 4-grade 6, she was one of the top in their batch she did very good this year!… I am so lucky to have such smart daughters.. I still have to wait for danielle’s turn on the 15th( her graduation)…

just look at my two angels playing with papa!!!! kimberly loves to smile and danielle is so protective of her that wherever we go she gives kimberly a watchful eye! nobody can touch or even look at her!!!

Don’t I have such a lucky life!!! Not only do I have smart daughters but beautiful as well!!!!being a stay-home mom makes this moments worthwhile! Love them till death!

this is one of my favorite pictures… see how attach a child is to their father.. this sight makes me often cry and wonder what would happen if she gets her own life would she still be the same.. it scares me but i guess life is like a wheel that goes up and down but they will always know that they have a family to turn to whenever they need us.they are so precious and you would wish they would remain the same sweet and gentle angel but time flies so fast that we cherish every moment with them.. kimberly is two months yesterday and pau is turning thirteen on the 29th.. danielle is graduating pre-school on the 15th and rochelle has camp on july 5… they are quite busy this summer with things they want to try and be good at.. and friends in the house most of the day.. taking them wherever they want to go… isn’t amazing that they have their own unique way of being outstanding, they do what they think will make them a better person and I think they are good in almost everything and is not afraid of trying new things and they act or say the darnest things which makes my heart melt and laugh my pants off

it makes me smile to see and listen when they talk about what happens to them in school or even outside when they are palying with friends… I wonder what kimberly will be like when she starts walking, I can’t wait!
