Quaker Oatmeal Squares...

             
                       This is my Quaker oatmeal squares campaign.....
We really like them.. I was a little worried at first about how they would taste, I have tried some cereal with squares a long time ago and it pretty much tasted like cardboard, but these were actually good.
 Even Alyssa liked them and she eats them as a snack sometimes.  They are sweet and crunchy, and taste good with or without milk, just don't take to long to eat them because like any other cereal they get soggy and it's just not the same. They are made with whole grain and have tons of fiber in them too since Alyssa is starting to be a picky eater sometimes.

Huggies Slip-on diapers...

Alyssa mesmerized by the TV while potty training.

This is what I received, well a coupon for a free bag
which I got at Kroger

       

            This was my 2nd campaign as a BzzAgent.. it started a couple months ago and I am really happy with it....
                                                 Alyssa  is finally potty trained...
 well she does use the  slip-on diapers now while at school because she has not been going to the potty with the teachers while she's at the church for their Mommy's Day out program. The teachers keep taking her but she just won't go, so she holds it for the four hours she's there, she doesn't drink much at school though, so they put a slip-on diaper just in case she does have an accident. We used the these to potty train her because they fit better than the pull-ups which tend to be bulky on her and she has a hard time walking with them ( they make her walk funny).

When I first saw these diapers I wondered how they would work. We have always liked Huggies because they have great leakage protection but I was a little worried on the whole part of  taking them off after a dirty diaper and how much of a mess they would make. Well they were really easy to clean up, they have tabs like the regular diapers do, they are just easier to pull on. Alyssa started calling them her panties , she didn't like wearing the regular diapers anymore, so she was using them or just plain panties while training. Wow, glad to be out of the diaper stage with her- one down one to go- Mattie has a while to go though.



Started making headbands...

     I  started making headbands.  I Just had a couple of supplies to work with so I need to get some more supplies but It wasn't that hard to make them. Going to try to make some different ones too. I need to get a sewing machine to make things easier, its pretty cool though, I enjoy making stuff for the girls and the house now.

Making a projection screen...

        Manuel wants to buy a projector for the porch outside so we can watch movies or games there....
Well we are going to make the projection screen,  someone at work made one so we are going to try it. Gonna have to make a couple of stops to get what we need- wood, fabric and paint... Hope this turns out. Sounds like a god idea and between the two of us we should be able to accomplish it. I'll post pictures when we're done.

 A few days old....

Loves to laugh...

   Mattie sure is growing.... . She's going to be 5 months soon..
These are some pictures of how she is doing so far... She loves to talk and laugh, enjoy the jumper now and pretty soon she'll be in the walker. Only likes short periods of tummy time...
          Everyone has a different opinion on who she looks like. They just grow up so fast.

Easter....


      This is us for Easter,  Alyssa had to change her outfit three times but she had fun. We hid eggs at the house twice then went to Aracelys house and made some fajitas there.  Sofia is getting bigger. Ater that we went to Manuels parents for the night. We hid more eggs for hours there cause Alyssa kept looking for them. She kept trying to break eggs on our heads that Chelly gave her but she wouldn't, she would get sad and just lightly tap them on our heads.  Need to get the pictures of Chelly and Freddy cracking eggs on each other.

Garniers BB cream.....

My BzzKit

             I signed up for this new site to me  Bzzagent.com  ( it was  started in 2002 by BzzAgentjono)  where you can try new products and report back on them through word of mouth, on facebook or twitter. It has been a great site for me and I have been able to try many different products.   You sign up and complete some suveys so they know more about you and what you like. Then they will send you  e-mails when you are perfect for one of their campaigns (that is how they are classified) and  you can except the invitation and sign up for the campaign so you get to try the product.. They will mail  a full size product to you and some samples or coupons that you can give or share with family and friends. Then after you have tried the product you report back to them about who you told and about your opinion  on it ,whether it is good or bad, just exactly what you think.

          My first campaign was Garniers BB Cream. I had great results using it, my skin looks healthier and has a nice glow, my skin tone is even not counting the freckles I have, and it is also softer than before.
             I could not have received this at a better time, I had my second baby a few months ago and my skin was definitely needing some help. One day my husband, kids, and I were going to a party and were going to be running late and had to do my make-up in the car. Well was that an awakening or what, there is no better way to be able to see what you're skin looks like than seeing it outside on a bright sunny day. Well needless to say I freaked out, I have had freckles all my life around my cheecks but now I had them all over my face and neck, I was horrified. My husband was trying to calm me down, said you couldnt even tell and that he liked it anyways. Well which was it, how can you like it if you can't see them. Well thankfully that day was the first time I was using the BB cream. After I was done with my make-up you could hardly tell, my skin was looking great, I was very happy.
             I have been using it for a while now and I love the results. My skin is even toned now and it looks better than before the baby. I love that it has a moisturizer , it is tinted, it brightens your skin and protects it and it has spf 15.
             I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cream that gives results. I was skeptical to try since I almost always here about bad results with these type of products. Well,  I know every persons results vary,  but mine were very positive.
             The only negative thing was that I did need to use extra moiturizer and I did break-out a few times but other wise I have loved it. Thanks bzzagent.  #imaBzzAgent

The Trevino Family Farm in Progress......

        

      This our new garden.. we started on March 21st and we call it the The Trevino Family Farm.  We planted some strawberries, tomatoes, peppers bell peppers, mint, cilantro, cucumbers and some flowers for Alyssa.  We also got a blueberries bush but need to get a couple more.  We built two boxes but are thinking of making 1 or 2 more.  We are also thinking of adding some fruit trees, we have two lemon trees Manuels granpa planted 3 yrs ago but they are growing really good.  It is a work in progress as we still need to add grapes some more veggies, and Manuel wants to grow corn... It almost will be a farm by then.

Girls feeling better......

My baby girls are finally getting better..... Alyssa has been on anti-biotics and Mattie has a small cough and runny nose. The house was looking like maybe a tornado came through all week but I cleaned up today and I'm almost all done. Ready to start new projects now.  The garden is coming along really nice and I think one of the bell peppers plant has a bud. Although I hope the blueberry bush makes it, It's looking a little sad.
