Late Easter Blog (Warning Picture OVERLOAD!!)

Happy Belated Easter!! The Easter Bunny has come and gone. It was a busy day. Walking up early to (loud) whispers from my girl's bedroom, wondering if they should sneak to start looking for their baskets. Had breakfast and candy for dessert. Then got everone all fancied up and went to my dad's house for Easter. We had an Easter Egg Hung and then got stuffed with ham for lunch. Then went to visit my mom at my Abuela's house where I stuffed my face again. (Ugh!) My Abuela is in her upper 70's and made some fideo (an awesome Mexican dish I LOVE) so I had to eat it! Then I begged Rocky Sr. to go to a park near my Abuela's so we could take pics of our babies all dressed up. They were all having rollercoaster of emotions the whole day from supper giggly to tired to grumpy and back to super giggly thanks to all the candy. But we still went and I got some good pics. (The lighting is a lil off in the pics, I'm still editing some with my new Corel Art Photoshop).

We unfortunately, didn't make it to church, but I totally thought about going. Does that count? One of my goals this year was to get involved with a church. It's already April. So far, I've failed.

Anyways, the day was a lot of fun but very exhausting! Here are some pics!

Mikey's lil fat hands. You can't really tell in this pic but he cracked his egg. Kept calling it his "Ba! Ba!" (Ball) and then smooshed it!
My Julia Gulia (giggling cuz I zoomed in on her)
Rocky dying eggs with our babies. (After this pic he told them to be careful so the dye wouldnt get on the table, then proceeded to PLOP his egg into the lil cup and got dye on the table.

Ultimate Blog Party!

So, I joined the Ultimate Party Blog going on to check out more blogs, have others check out mine and maybe win something. Part of the Party is to write about me. Se here we go... (note: I am totally cheating and cutting and pasting some things from my first blog entry...I gotta pick up my son from baseball practice in 15 minutes).

I'm Cindy, I'm a 28-yeay old mom to five. My kids are my life. When I'm not struggling, I mean, helping my oldest Mariana (10), with her homework, rushing to put on some makeup in the hallway mirror while son, Rocky Jr (8) dunks a small basketball over my head into the hoop that's hanging above the mirror, or telling Briana (7) to please, please use her indoor voice and then explaining indoor voices are supposed to be quiet, or listening to Julia (6) tell a long story about something, and then starting her story over again because she thought I was listening, or making "googoo gaga" noises and silly faces at my 2 month old, Mikey, to try and get him to smile while whipping one diaper off and putting another on as quick as I can because he's known to spray me....yeah, when not doing that...I'm.... well doing a whole bunch of other stuff.

(Note: my babies have grown since this 1st post, they're now 11, 9, 8, 7 and 1).

I work full time for my dad's plumbing company. I've been working with him for almost ten years now and have been lucky enough to bring all my babies to work with me. Not at the same time of course, my oldest four go to daycare, then bused to their elementary school and little Mikey comes along with me.

Life is fun and busy and perfectly crazy with five babies and a boyfriend. Yes, boyfriend. We're sinners. Five kids and never married...yet. Sooner or later that'll happen. Right now, were fine where we're at. About him? Hmm... well he's Rocky Sr. going to be 30 this year! I met him when I was almost fifteen at a party at a house owned by trusting parents of a 16 year old boy. Somehow through friends we both new the guy and fate or (Vodka and Sunny-D) brought us together that night. I knew of him as a "bad boy" before I met him. So when he said his name, "Rocky Martinez" and I remembered he was that guy who just beat up that one guy, it was love at first sight. We had our first date at the Homecoming dance and had our first kiss in his parents driveway in the rain. We've been through a lot, make ups and break ups, and a whole lot of drama. But, we're making it work, we're not afraid to fight with each other, realizing it's better to talk or yell it out now, then hold it in and resent eachother later. He makes me mad, he annoys me at times, we can yell and scream at eachother, but in the end I still love him like crazy.

So this is blog. My goal is to post something atleast twice a week whether it's a cute pic, random thing someone did or said, and hopefully more about my Perfectly Crazy life!

My Mikey is One!


My baby boy is ONE already! We had a big birthday party for him at our house with the family. He was too cute when it came to us singing Happy B-day to him. I almost teared up when singing to him wondering where did his first year go? It went by so quick. I'm very grateful that he is so happy and that he's healthy, and mine! Before he was born, I always got the feeling someone was missing. The day he was born, I felt complete. I love him more than I will ever be able to explain. Here are some of my favorite pics from Mikey's 1st year.

Rock Jr. is 9!

Dec. 22nd, 2009
So this is a month and a half overdue, but better late than never. I wanted to write something around my kid's birthdays to describe how they are, what their likes and dislikes are since they change so quickly and every year seems to go by faster than the last.

To Rock, aka my Papa.
You make me a very proud mom! This year you've really developed a great little sense of humor. You like to joke and are good at it. One of the funniest moments I can recently remember is when you told the lady who was cutting your hair that you have a job. When she asked, doing what, you said bugging your sisters, but you don't get paid for it. It was said in the most serious way, Mari and I were laughing so hard in the waiting area. Truth be told you're not the typical "bug your sister kinda brother". If anything, they (or should I say Bri) bug you. You love me and the rest of our fam very much and aren't embarrassed to show it. Though, I fear the day you do.

You are sports fanatic and amaze me when you talk to daddy about sports. You made the Jr Indians baseball team this year (YAY!) and we celebrated with two bowls of icecream which is one of your favorite foods. Unless it's covered in chocolate, you are kind of a picky eater and recently told me you don't like bacon which was a shock to all of us.  One Sunday morning, at the table, you said "I don't like bacon." All the hussle and bussle of the morning STOPPED! We were shocked! Who doesn't like bacon?

Your parent-teacher conferences this year were awesome. You're doing very well in school (3rd grade) and got a perfect report card. Your teacher this year, Mrs. Luciani calls you the class peacemaker. If someone has a problem you like to remind them to brush it off and not to worry. You have a kind heart and open doors for girl's, but say you still don't like them even though a lot of them have crushes on you.

Even though it drives me crazy you are completely addicted to your little basketball hoop that hangs on the basement door. You play with it daily, trying out different ways to dunk and constantly ask anyone who will listen to come watch you.

I love you so much!! More than I will ever be able to explain!

Love,
Your Mom
