Trick or Treat

Yey Halloween is just a few days away and I am so excited because Olivia's costume is all ready to go. Although she will not be Olivia the pig she will be a really cute ballerina.

So this week at Younglife we had a Halloween club where we had a few treats, games and we got to dress up. It was really fun! Since this is my first Halloween where I planned something I wanted to make something spooky but yummy so here are my spider bites and scary ghost cupcakes.

Recipe for spider bites
Serves:
24 servings

1 (12-ounce) package semisweet morsels

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

6 cups pretzel sticks
Place parchment paper on baking sheet; set aside.

In a large glass microwave-safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Melt on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and stir until smooth.
Stir in pretzel sticks. With clean hands grab pretzel sticks and drop on prepared baking sheet in clusters to look like spiders.
Place in freezer for 5 minutes or until to chocolate is hardened. Remove and serve.

This woman I love

This woman is one of the most amazing women in the world and I truly mean that. She is one of the greates of examples of a servant. This woman has giving her self up for others to maybe a little bit of an extreme. She has an amazing love for Jesus and for others too. Since I can remember she has always shared everything she had to the needy. This woman I love and this women is my mother....

Her love for the Lord has reflected in many areas of her life. She has taught me how to be a Godly wife who loves, respects and is faithful to her husband. A woman that loves her children and spends much time praying for her children to Fear the Lord. I can truly say she would give it all up for anyone. My my has a heart of a servant and I know is mainly because of her love for Christ that reflects that. I wish I could be more like her to serve others and not worry about how much I can loose or how uncomfortable I will be. I admire her and respect her and thank Christ for blessing me with a mother like her.





Mother this is for you.





p.s. I love you!

Kids, new baby, life all that good stuff

So today we went to visit the latest addition to the Costales/Mejia Family

Mr. Nathan Anthony Costales I hope I got his name right!?

born today at 8:00 am. His mommy looks so good you can't tell she just had a baby! Jealous! All of this reminded me of that beautiful day when I met my precious Olivia. It was a moment that I will never forget when that little thing stared at me and cried! Oh how I miss that. I miss holding a tiny person in my arms and YES believe it or not I miss being pregnant too. See I was meant to be a mommy.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what I wanted to do as a career from law enforcement, to teaching, to nursing and finally I figured it out. I want to be a mommy and a wife of course. I am living a dream that I never knew I wanted. I don't want to spend too much time away from my husband and kids. I want to be there after school, go to school plays, field trips, class parties. Looking forward to all that. I just realized that my true calling was to be a wife and mom and I want to be in their lives as much as I can. Motherhood is awesome even the poopy diapers!!!

So we get to enjoy Olive by herself for another year at least if God allows. It's ok becuase I enjoy time with my little sweetheart and I am trusting God's timing. Talking about Olivia she is growing so fast and learning things so fast. Lets see she can......

dance every time she hears ANY kind of music.

practically run. Well at least every time where go to the store she runs away from me.

ask for food and drink and cany pretty much 24/7.

talk on the phone with grandma.

Here are a few pictures of her recently.

A pink Paris scraproom. After spending many hours thinking about my new scraproom and after many changes on my plans I am very excited to work on my room! The more I think about it the more excited I get! Well yesterday our boss invited us to her house for a surprise lunch! Well it was a neat surprise as she had decorated everything Pink Paris ( She loves Paris). Everything about the party was neat, her centerpieces where adorable and so creative. While sitting there chatting with friends I just knew this is how I wanted in my room.

I want the main colors of the room to be light pink, soft gray, black and white.
Here are a few rooms I found that I thought were nice I hope to use a little bit of everything on my room.


There is nothing better than a well organized room.

My room before painting it. My husband is too cute

Have ideas for me? let me know....

P.s. I love my family
