xmas pics

HAPPY BELATED HOLIDAYS!  I hope all you ladies had a great Christmas!  I know I did... even though we bounced to 3 different houses that day... and in crappy snowy weather too.  I'm just glad we made it to all 3 houses safely and we had a good time.

To start the pics... here's a pic of me and the Mr. at my older brother's house (this was the 2nd house we went to that day)

I liked this pic but the Mr.'s got his "cheesey" smile on. lol  So we retook another one... but Kelly decided she wanted to put her hand in the pic... so the pic under this one is the 3rd take on us.  hehe It's blurry but I liked it still. :P

This was right after Gavin opened his gift from his Auntie and Uncle.  He got a sippy cup with his name on there and a long sleeve shirt.  He looks kinda fobby since his pant legs are all wacky looking.  LMAO  But at least he matches my sister, Shoua's striped socks.  ahahaha

The two babies... Autumn and Gavin.  When we ate, she was feeding him too.  It was sooo cute!

My mom and Mitchell

Crazy Gavin playing on Auntie and Uncle's kitchen floor.  He spilled his juice all over himself since his new sippy cup isn't spill proof.

The lovely younger sisters... Kelly and Shoua.  I did Shoua's makeup again that day and she's wearing my clothes so she looks REALLY pretty.  LOL

The Neals... sucks that they left to go home today but we had a good time while it lasted  We will see them again in June when they come up for their baby shower we'll be throwing them.  YES!  You heard right!  Shoua's prego!!  We're all happy for her and keeping tabs on her so nothing bad happens.  *crosses fingers*

This was during our church's New Year they had on Saturday.    I took pics of my makeup but haven't uploaded them yet so that'll be on another post.

My outfit:

gray tank:Marshalls

gray cardigan: Wetseal

pearl chain necklace/belt: Dots

light green lace tutu skirt and black lace tights: F21

black leg warmers: dunno

brown boots: Charlotte Russe

Hope that all you ladies have a good New Year's!  Have fun and be safe!!

Hmong New Year **heavy img*

ok... here's my post about the Hmong New Year at the Metrodome.  you know, Hmong New Year's aren't like how they used to be when I was a teenager.  now they're just boring and kinda dumb... hardly no one attends them any more... only the young kids who still want to go hit on other young kids... the old folks who wanna go show themselves off... then the sports players... there's nothing for the people in between all those ages... they're simply not entertaining anymore.  :(

but anyways... i was gonna wear some thai/lao clothes that my mom made but the top looked dumb on me and i didn't have a regular top that went well with the skirt.  so after all that debate and trying on all these clothes, i decided to just wear regular clothes.

peacock headband, lace bodysuit, cardigan, skirt and floral tights: forever21

silver chain with faux pearls (really a belt but worn as a necklace) & floral ring: dots

blk leg warmers: don't remember

gray boots: charlotte russe

my mom said that my necklace made me look like a "black" girl cuz it was just so bling like.  LOL  i didn't know my mom knew those kinds of things.  it was just funny to hear her say that ahahaha

i know this was a long post but hope you all enjoyed our pics from the Hmong New Year.  we should have taken more pics of other people in their different Hmong costumes but man, how weird would that have been?  lol

friday night outting..part one

hey ladies!  it's been a while since i posted up anything.  lol  but i just wanted to start sharing some of our photos from our BIG group outting last friday.  we all went out since my sister and brother-in-law are in town for christmas and everyone would be busy another night.  it started off as a good night before we left... then it turned into disaster when we got to the place we wanted to go... eventually, it turned out to be a REALLY fun night for all of us.

to start the pics... here's one of me and the Mr. (before he was really gone lol)

**sorry for the messy room...it's what happens when your kids tear everything up. lol  and the bad lighting so you can't see the bottom half of my outfit better.

me & my 2 boys...

i wanted to take a pic of gavin (since i've been camera deprived).  i told him to smile and he didn't so i told him "cheese" and this was his smile for me.  :)  he's sooo cute!  i didn't even know my boy knew how to smile when you tell him "cheese"

i miss these priceless moments.

here's the Mr. and gavin when i told gavin to do "cheese" again.  lol

i'm also excited to say my other half is coming home for xmas! yay!!!  i can't wait to see my sister and bro-in-law!

they'll be here on thursday and will be staying for a little over a week.  can't wait to just do sisterly things with my 2 younger sisters. :P

on that note... hope everyone has a great week!  i know i will... 3 day work week.  woot woot!

quick eotd

hey ladies!  so i finally used the maybelline gift pack (that i posted up on my last post) for my EOTD today.  i LOVE the e/s quad and the liquid liner!  the mascara...not so much.  why? you ask.  since it's not waterproof... it doesn't hold my curled eyelashes so that's a downer for me.  *frowns*  i like it cuz of the length but the flat lashes are the issue.  lol

here's a couple pics i took @ work.... shhh.... ^_^

can't really tell what the colors are on my eyes but that's what i get for using my cam phone.

to end this post... kisses for you ladies!  xoxoxo

Maybelline Gift Pack

hey ladies!  first off, just want to say 'hope you guys all had a good thanksgiving!"'  mine went pretty well considering this was my first thanksgiving that i cooked by myself (some help from the 2 younger siblings).  but man, i dunno if i wanna do all that cooking by myself again... i was pooped out by the end of the night.  lol 

anyways, on to the main topic of makeup.  i went to wal-mart after work today for a few household items.  but you know i had to go to the makeup section.  lol

to my surprise, at an end cap of one of the aisles, there were these maybelline gift packs for $9!!  what a steal!!

they had 5 different packs... this is the one i got for myself.

this one has a e/s quad called 'charcoal smokes', line stiletto liquid liner and their new lash stilettos mascara.

i got this one for myself since i like the quad and i have been wanting to try this new mascara of theirs.

i actually bought two of these.. the other one is a different pack but has the same e/s quad.  i got that for a gift for my secret santa.  good thing she doesn't read blogs... or at least i hope she doesn't.  LOL

btw, this is what happens when you don't have a camera anymore...you lack the posts that you should be posting.  haha

i want to show you ladies my recent clothing hauls (including my mini one from black friday) but can't do that since the quality of my camera phone kinda sucks right now (have one too many photos stored that's why)  guess it'll just have to wait til i get a camera and/or make space on my camera phone.

til next time... good night!

late post from my saturday girls night out *heavy img*

hey ladies!  just wanted to share pics from my girls night last saturday.  my gf and i forgot her cam so these are from the bday girl (in the blue dress)  i like the turn out of these photos but wish we had our own cam to whore out on. ^_^

i've never been to this place before but it was really nice, esp the fact that it's free entrance and we all got drunk off $20 a person.  LOL

anyways, here's the pics...

i <3 the girl in the middle of this pic. first time i met her but man, she's wild and fun.. just like me. :P

above is my favorite pic of me & my gf from the night 

that's my other dress that she's wearing and i must say, she looks good in it.

we'll def have to do another one of these girls nights again but next time, we'll have to remember to bring our own camera.  LOL

thanks for viewing!
