Blog Slacker!! A year in Review 2009

Hard to believe how I've badly neglected this blog. Anyway let me go through the last year as quickly as possible. Well on February 28, my lovee Tristan turned 1. We had a birthday party at the house with only Grandparents, aunties, uncles and a handful of the most special friends any familly can ask for. It was defintely a cold winter with lots of snow..and many school closings. On March 16 our Andrew turned 7, and our daughter Sabrina turned 17. Hard to believe that these kids are growing just too fast. Easter Sun, was as traditional as always, we stayed home. Dyed eggs and had an Easter egg hunt. The kids were thrilled with their goodies. Tristan just looked too cute in his little newspaper boy cap and Gymboree outfit.
May was a quiet month and in June Sabrina attended Junior prom. One more year for our little girl!! Hard to believe that on June 3, Angel and I celebrated 24 years of marriage. Our marriage has sustained many ups and downs, but through the Grace of God we've made it. Kids are going into the next grade. Aaron will be going into High School and Sabrina into her last year of H.S. woohoo! Summer is finally here, many trips to Six Flags, local museums and outings. Hard to make plans with Sam's new job. but it was a nice summer. July. 4th our Aaron celebrated his 14th birthday, with family...Mom and Iley came from New York we had our traditional 4th of July barbecue. Tristan had a blast at the MCC fireworks. On July 31, Samantha turned 21..wow we have an adult child...I'm beginning to feel old. Remember being 21 and so in love and actually married at that age. August was hot..but the kids were soon ready for school. Sept was a quiet month with school in session. Oct began with lots of fun, we went Pumpkin Picking with Andrew's best friend Daniel, his mom Marisol, Tristan and Sam. October ended just with as much fun. On Halloween we had a blast Jenn, David, Jenna, and Iley came over and we had the time of our life..The morning started with many activities for the children, halloween cookes and crafts. We then went over to Manchester High School where Sabrina was volnteering at the Haunted House, even Katie came along with her bumble bee costume. We went trick or treating afterwards. What a day of events. Kids were thrilled when they came home with their loot. Nov..Our neice Amanda came from Florida, it was a short visit, but sweet...it's always fun to see family. We skipped our Traditional Thanksgiving and headed out to NYC for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Went to see my mother in law Tonita.. God Bless her although bed ridden she looks marvelous. Had Thanksgiving Day Dinner at moms. It was nice to see my brother Jaime wife Robin and their gorgeous little fella's Jayden and Jaime. Lastly we headed out to Cooky and Hilario's for the night. Following day we went to visit our special friends Sylvia and her wonderful parents Rosie and Louie. It was an awesome weekend. Dec. wow hard to believe that the year was almost over, we did our traditional Christnas at home.Tristan had a blast opening his gifts..It's wonderful having a little one at home...New Years came and again we broke Tradtion we headed out for NYC bring in the New Year with family. Well Thank God, 2009 is over and 2010 will bring bigger and better things.
