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
