Well it has been Birthday Month around the Moreno household! August & November are always birthday months! Our November birthdays are Caitlynn (niece), Mac (niece), Heather (best sister ever), Jennifer (sister-in-law), and Alekzander (nephew). They are all the 1st thru the 14th! WOW!
Hopefully, this coming weekend we will have the Moreno parties. Alekzander will be 3…..it seems like just yesterday he was born! Time flies! I will write another blog about their party.
Well this past weekend was the party for the Talley girls. It was great! I made a Tinkerbell cake (with real fairy dust)& a John Deere cake for the two girls. I let Mac sprinkle fairy dust on her Tinkerball cake! I cannot believe that Caitlynn is already 2 years old! And my baby sister is 25! Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was making Heather a bottle. Well, there were kids, presents & tissue paper everywhere. It was great being around my family and Talley family! They are great and funny people. Fun times for all.
I want to take a minute and just talk my sister. Since he birthday was yesterday, it has got me thinking. Some of you may not know about my past very much…so here goes! When my sister & I were young, my mom was there physically but not mentally! Let’s just say she had problems and would choose “other things” instead of her children (things haven’t changed much today). That is where a lot of my anger comes from towards parents that don’t take care of their children. My dad was always at work trying to provide for us. He worked his butt off! He was there for us when we needed him though. So, basically I raised my sister. I can remember when she was about 2 and I would be the one to go get her a cup of milk in the middle of the night. I changed her diapers. I gave her her first hair cut! Ok, she really didn’t need a hair cut, but I was sick of everyone saying that she had the cutest curly hair (and I had straight, stringy hair) so I cut it off! My dad did get me for that one! I had it coming though. Anyways, she was like my little baby and I was only 6 years old! Don’t get me wrong, we had our sibling fight, plenty of them, but in the end she is always my sister and I had to take care of her. When she was sick, I was the wiping her nose and cleaning up her puke. I think that we are closer because of everything and I would not take any of it back, well maybe the haircut because she did have the cutest curls ever, but it has made us the people we are today. I just want to say…..
Heather I am so proud of you and the choices you have made through out life! You are truly a good person. You used to look up to me because I was your older sister, but I have to tell you, I look up to you. You are a GREAT mom, wife and sister. Your kids & husband & your family are truly blessed to have you in our lives. I love you more than words can express. You have seen so much in your life time and I am so glad you made the decision to be better than that. And with all that is going on in your life, you are back in school! You are amazing. Thank you for being you! It is a privilege to call you SISTER! Happy birthday!

Dad was a help to make bills get paid and after I was 13 he was there for me 100%, but from birth till now, forever you will the one that gets credit for raising me... I miss those curls, but I have plenty now! I can not wait for that day god grants you with childern of your own you will be the best mom out there! I am blessed to have you as my sister, I am so glad you are who you are or I would not have been half the person I am today. We look up to each other and in many different ways and that is a special bond NO ONE ELSE can share! My kids are blessings from above, I believe god gave them to us for a reason! i UNDERSTAND you hate towards moms that don't care for there kids, I have been there and I know a few, I think that is what helps us be who we are today. We missed out on that when younger so now we make damn sure I kids never have to feel that feeling.... You are a amazing aunt, sister and "mom". I am proud of all the choices I have made in my life, I have few regrets and most of those I have learned something from them. You have turned out great seeing how who knows who raised you?
