Mommy Moments: New Photos

The week went by so fast, and it's time for another Mommy Moments. The entire January was focused into everything new. This week's theme is about New Photos; here are some of the new photos of the kids, hubby and me.

These photos (except my picture) were taken last January 15, it was the day of the Public Installation of Officers of JASML 333 of Free and Accepted Masons wherein hubby was elected as the Secretary for this Masonic year.

Mommy Moments: New Achievement

This morning my youngest son Jeon made his greatest achievement so far. He was able to find a way to fix his bike with damage seat.

the damaged bike

     I was busy doing my job and he approached me and was looking for the scotch tape. He told me that he    found the seat of his bike but something needs to be fixed.

            

I had to help Jeon in cutting the scotch tape because he is still not allowed to use the scissors.

He is almost done fixing his bike, and he looks very determined to do it.

Wow! He did it! My little boy was able to fix his bike seat :)

The little boy's smile is priceless! I am proud of my son's achievement.

Mommy Moments: New Stuff

I forgot to take pictures of the toys they have received last Christmas. I was caught up watching them unwrapped their gifts from "Santa Claus" because they were very much excited about it. Well, aside from the new Christmas clothes that these two boys are wearing; they got what they wished for last Christmas. The Christmas outfit was courtesy of Mamita (my Mom) actually all my three boys have the same suits. But I guess Kuya Jet (my eldest) feel so embarrassed to wear the same thing. He is already a "grown up" according to him. 

They got their Christmas wish,Kuya Jet received his wave board plus basketball and RC car. On the other hand, Kuya Gab got a soccer ball, word factory and RC car too. Lastly, Jeon got the most number of presents from Santa Claus (he was not naughty according to him), he received his Transformer robots (3 of them), basketball and basketball ring plus a mini-scooter.

Overall, it was a perfect Christmas not just for the kids but even for us adults. The material things that we give our children are not the ones they will remember. These toys may break or damage in time but the Christmas memories will always be in their hearts.

Mommy Moments: New Goal s for 2011

For this year 2011, I have set some goals and hopefully would be able to achieve it. These goals may seem to be very simple; yet sometimes even simple goals are hard to attain. But with sheer determination and commitment; I guess nothing is impossible to achieve. Here are some of the goals that I have set for 2011:

• Save 10% of our income and hopefully by the end of 2011 we would be able to save up to 30% of our joint income.
• Work only on the schedule allotted; I have the tendency to work the whole day because I can't seem to stop working once I get my hands on it. So if work requires me to log in at 830 am then I have to be done by 530 pm. The latest would be 7pm so I can spend time with kids and take care of the household.
• Live healthy, oh my! this is quite difficult for me. But I would try my best to do it.
• Most of all, I need to improve my relationship with my Saviour. Hopefully teach kids about Jesus Christ too.

These are some of the goals that I hope to achieve by this year. To know more about the goals of other Mommies; check out other entries of Mommy Moments.

Mommy Moments: Most Memorable Mommy Moment 2010

The most memorable amongst the Mommy Moments entries that I have done so far would be my very first entry; it was the week wherein the theme was Before and After. I really had to look for old photos of my two kids ( they were born during the time I don't have a digital camera yet). Since I don't have my scanner set-up I have to settle for not so  "before" photos of them.

I have another favorite Mommy Moments entry; I think the theme for that week was So Little. I posted two generations pictures of my Mom holding me when I was a baby. The other picture was 30 yrs after, it was a picture of me holding my youngest son. In fact, my mom was so proud of the blog post that she even shared it in her Facebook account so her friends may see.

Although I just recently joined Mommy Moments, I always look forward to Fridays because I have to come up with my blog entry for the week. I am looking forward to sharing more Mommy Moments with other Mommy bloggers out there.

Have a Happy New Year!

Mommy Moments: Perfect Christmas

These Christmas stockings have been with us for a couple of years. We have moved from 3 different houses, I still make sure that I bring these Christmas stockings with us whenever we move to a different house. On Christmas Eve, after hearing the Holy Mass the kids will find goodies inside the stockings and of course gifts under the Christmas tree. So after eating our traditional Noche Buena; the kids would rush under the Christmas tree to check which gifts belong to them.
Me and hubby always make sure that everyone in the family would have a little gift to open during Chrismas Eve. Simple gifts could mean a lot during the special occasion like this.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and more Mommy Moments for the coming year!

Mommy Moments: Give Love on Christmas Day

No Christmas gifts yet, but I still have a couple of days more before Christmas to buy presents for the kids and family members. This week's Mommy Moments theme is Give Love on Christmas Day. I would not have a hard time thinking on what to buy for my three sons; because they know what they want. Actually it is me who is hesitant on buying it for them. Budget wise they are a bit expensive; I know my boys they easily break toys and they easily grow tired of using them. Since it's Christmas Day, I think I would have to give in to their wishes.

For my eldest son (Jet) he wants to have a wave board. He is grounded from using his mountain bike because he fell from the bike more than 3x and broke the breaks, rim of the wheels and bike pedals. Now he wants to have his own wave board.







My son Gab wants to have remote controlled car; I am not sure if he really likes this.In some days, he would tell me he wants violin. As far as I know he enjoys playing board games with his friends. So I need to make sure what is his final decision before I purchase the remote controlled car.

For my youngest son Jeon, he definitely wants to have Optimus Prime. He is been praying about this gift every night. He tells Jesus Christ to remind Santa Claus about his Christmas gift wish. So we need to make sure that he receives it. He tells his Kuyas that he will be receiving Optimus Prime from Santa Claus and Toy Story characters from Mommy and Daddy.


Christmas Day is more than just the presents that we receive. I think it is best that we impart this message to our children. Jesus is the reason for the season do not forget to remind the kids about it. On the other hand, if you have not decided on what to give your kids this Christmas day, check out other Mommy Moments entries. You may get some good ideas on what could be the best gift for your child. Are you ready to give love this Christmas day? or are you merely ready to give gifts out of tradition?

Mommy Moments: Our Christmas Tree

My boys were excited about Christmas and they have been telling me to set up the Christmas as early as November. But too bad Mom and Dad were too busy ; finally we had the chance to set up the tree first weekend of December. They had fun helping out; most especially my youngest son.

No beautifully wrapped gifts yet under the Christmas tree; but for me, these three little boys are God's best gifts (although I wish they were still babies). Looking forward to Christmas 2010 in our new home.

Mommy Moments: do have a BIG appetite?

Last week, Mommy Moments was all about small things; and for this week's theme things got BIGGER.. I found the perfect entries for this week's BIG things.

Fresh tilapia from my Uncle Co's fish pond.

 The little tilapia that you see, is actually the normal size tilapia (it's not one of those tiny tilapia that we love to fried). The BIG one weighs around 1kg; and we are proud to say that during harvest season, we have a lot of this Big fish.

Giant Pizza at Xtremely Xpresso

When my kids discovered this pizza, they would not go to other pizza parlor unless we go to Xtremely Xpresso. Large pizza from other pizza house is not comparable to this one. I can only eat a max of three slices.

If you have big appetite; you can try either the giant tilapia or the giant pizza; or better yet why not try  both.

Mommy and Me Monday

This is my first entry for Mommy and Me Monday.  I have so many photos with my kids; and it was really difficult to choose which one will be the best first entry. So I decided not to post my photo with my kids for my first entry. It was the photo of my mom and me when I was still a little baby.

That is my mom and the little baby she is holding is me.

Mommy Moments: So Little

This week's theme for Mommy Moments is about any little things. It was difficult for me to decide on what to post for this week's theme. I was looking through some old photos, and this is what I found:

That's my Mom and that little baby is me

This photo was taken August of 1975, I was only two months old at this time. I can't believe how time slipped through our hands so fast. The little baby that my mom is holding is also a mommy now. 

Me with my youngest son

This picture was taken August 2006, exactly 31 years after that photo with my mom. Little babies bring so much joy in our lives.

Mommy Moments: Favorite Color

This week's Mommy Moment's theme is all about kids' favorite color. Since I have three boys, I thank God that none of them like pink (whew!).

My eldest child Jet's favorite color is blue, since among his siblings he possess the not-so-fair color (Pinoy na Pinoy), we are having a hard time looking for the best color that will fit his skin tone. But then again, he favors blue

On the other hand, my middle child Gabby (my Golden Child - he has albinism) would fit any color. But amongst his favorite is orange and yellow. Most of his clothes are on the citrus shade.

My youngest son Jeon definitely love the green. His school uniform is green and he looks good in the shade of green.

Little boys clothes and stuff are not as exciting as the little girls. I am such a spoiler, I guess that's why God didn't give me a little girl; because it will be way too expensive to buy those cute girly stuff. I would definitely go out of budget most of the time. Have a great weekend.

MM: It Comes in All Shapes

The Mommy Moments theme for this week is shapes. I had a hard time looking for photos of my kids holding a particular shape in their hands. They would not want to pose for a new photo, (they are not fond of pictures) but I think these photos would do.

Kuya Gabby

My middle child Gabby, enjoying a peaceful ride in a rectangular shaped boat. This was taken last summer at my cousin's fish pond. They enjoyed their stay in that place, away from technology and closer to nature.

My bunso Jeon

He loves boxing, with or without those red boxing gloves. Definitely hyper-active and he enjoys rowdy games with his Kuya Jet and Kuya Gab. After a couple of minutes, you would hear someone screaming "Mommy!" it means somebody got hurt from the game. It's time to do the Mommy task of explaining things to them again.

Me and 3 Musketeers (MM: Before and After)

Me and my kids (l-r: gab, jeon and jet)

This photo was taken three years ago, now my two sons are in their 'tweens and you can no longer ask them to join a family photo ops (unless I use my Mommy voice and look). I have always dream of having a daughter, but I guess God has other plans for me. Since I give birth via CS; the max number of kids I could have is three.

Celebrating Gab's 10th Birthday taken last May 18,2010

But who would need a daughter, if you have sons who are also trained doing household chores. They can be sweet if they wanted to (like if they are asking for a favor from me). I guess, I can still say that I am lucky to have three boys as my kids. Least to say, lesser worries too. Daughter's material needs can be very expensive compared to my sons'; but I have to work my butt to earn extra income because these boys eat like there's no tomorrow. As my hubby says, they are growing up kids so they to a lot of energy to burn hence they need to fuel that with constant eating.
