3 Nieces! Can you stand it?

To quote my Aunt Rita..."look at all the girls!" My cousin Andrea and her husband Jimmy just welcomed their third daughter. Shelby Amelia Anne weighed in at a mere 9 lbs, 9 oz. 21 inches long.


Can you image what she would have weighed if she was not over 20 days early? Now, I can't be certain, but I am pretty sure she is a genius just like her big sisters. (Must take after their Auntie Linda.) ;)



I feel so lucky to have them in my life. That Jimmy and Andrea let me be a part of their lives. I seriously don't remember what it was like before I had my nieces. The love I feel for them is unimaginable...and more amazing yet, they seem to love me too. So little and so full of love. The smiles, the hugs, the goofy little quirks. I am sure a lot of you get sick and tired of hearing me go on about them, but...well..too bad! hahaha. I just hope I can be a good aunt to them as they get older. The bar was set pretty high. Their Nana was (and continues to be) an amazing aunt to me and my sister. Well, to all of her nieces and nephews I am sure.
Moving along from my nieces (which, really, how hard is that!) I turned 30 this year. Yikes. I had a great party though. My family was there, my closest friends were there, and I had so much fun. Mardi Gras themed parties are fun, especially when people are NOT flashing their boobs. Lord knows I did not need to see my Grandma's goodies. lol.

Awww yes, good times. LOL. My dad is turning 50 this year and once again, the Flores backyard will be turned into a theme party. Harley Davidson this time. Should be fun. We are going to try to...no, wait. I won't spoil the surprises. Stay tuned for that one.
Chris and I have a busy weekend coming up. We are going to the Angels game on the 4th of July, going to see Wall.E with the family (and Avi) on the 5th, taking Avi and Bia to the angel game on the 6th, and then the 7th is chris' birthday, which means her week long birthday extravaganza begins. She usually celebrates her birthday all week.
Well, I guess that is it for now. I will write back next week with updates on the weekend and lots more pictures. Take care everyone...
