Grandparents, Our Biggest Fans......

Meet Goggle boy.....

This is my little man's favorite toy.... He wears his goggles all day long.... When they are not on his face he wants them on ours.... Who knows maybe he will be a professional swimmer....

Look who's riding a bike.....

My Son was so determined to ride his bike.... He tried for about 15 mins of jumping off and didn't want his Dad or I to help... Then all of the sudden he just got it.... He found his balance and then just started pedaling.... "He got it", I yelled as my eyes filled up with my tears... And my hubby yelled "Yes"... Just another milestone that my son achieved on his own.... A new sense of freedom for him that somehow makes me excited yet sad at the same time.... My little boy is growing up and I just want to hold on a little longer....

My Mom....

My Mom is my everything..... She's the first person I call when I'm having hard times.... And the first person I call for Good times.... She understands me more than I understand myself... She can tell by the first word that comes out of my mouth if I'm in trouble or not... No matter how old I get in her eyes I will always be her little girl.... And no matter how old I get.... I'll always need my Mom... She is my Mom..... She's my best friend.... She's my Everything....

Family......

Here we are together for Easter.... We love getting dressed up and the kids open tons of goodies......

What's funny is that some how our outfits coordinate too....

So Fun!!

Girl Time...

I love this girl, my niece.... We have so much fun together... When we get silly I forget about all my "Adult" responsibilities and just have fun being girls.... I remember when she was little girl now she's pre-teen.... Time is flying by so fast but it doesn't matter with us we are crazy together all the time....

My Home Organization Tips.....

I'm really trying hard to organize my home and to keep it that way... I found some tips that I need to remember....

THREE PARTS...

Insects have three parts, head, thorax, and abdomen. Like an insect,each job has three parts, beginning (getting ready), the job itself(doing the job), and the end,(cleanup) . These are not three different jobs. They are aspects of one job. Until all three parts are completed, that one job is not done.

• The laundry is not finished until it is put in the drawers or closet.
• The dishes are not done until they are put up.
• The house is not cleaned until the cleaning equipment is returned.
• You have not completed grocery shopping until the groceries are put away.
• You have not properly come into the house until your coat is hung up and your packages are properly stowed..... Complete each job before you leave it.

New Quote of the Day....

"The chief cause of unhappiness is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment."

It is worth it to do organizational things that are hard today in order to achieve the way of life we long for in the future. That is the door to happiness. As the saying goes: Play now, pay later. Pay now, play later.

The Slogan...

The secret to success is making very small, yet very consistent, changes. Or to make it short; Baby steps, baby steps in the right direction. Never underestimate the inevitability of gradualness.

Kids say the cutest things.....

We were at Gramie and Papa's today and my oldest son is sitting sad at the table.... Here's how the conversation went....

Mom: Hey what's wrong????

My Son: Nothing....

Mom: Come on what's wrong???

My Son: Gramie is in the room playing with little man....

Mom: Yeah is that okay??

My Son: No, she's hypnotized by little man and doesn't want to play with me....

Mom: When you were a baby she gave you all her attention... Now she has to do the same for your little brother.... When she's done she'll play with you next....

My Son: Ah those were the days when I had Gramie all to myself.....

So cute. ...

Today was a fun day... We went with my parents to the Pit for Barbecue Pork sandwiches... They were delicious.... As we were leaving my big guy asked if he could drive with Gramie and Papa on the way back to their house... We said "yes"... Well my little guy was so sad that his big brother was going in Papa's car that he started to cry... I felt bad and went in the back seat with him to keep him company.... As we were sitting in the back seat I asked him, "So are you ready to have another baby" He looks right at me and says "AHHH NO" My Hubby and I started laughing so hard.... The words came out so clear.... LOL.....

My Dr.'s Appointment....

Today was my 15 week Dr.'s appointment... It went quite well my Hubby went with me to hear the heartbeat... My Mom was in the waiting room with my little guy... I thank God for my Mom... She does so much for us... As the Dr. came in he asked if we had any questions... My Husband laughed it off asking "Yeah How did this happen??" They start laughing and then started guy bonding... I think we were in the room for 15 mins and the conversation was all about their childhood and bike riding when they were kids.. They were trying to top each other who went further on their bikes and who had more injuries ... I was sitting their thinking... Hey can we talk about me now... As the Dr. is searching with the Doppler to find the heartbeat the Dr. is still talking about childhood memories w/ my hubby, and I hear the heartbeat and have to ask him to stop talking is that the heartbeat and he's like "oh yeah here it is... Good, Strong, and Fast 160"... I look at my hubby saying "did you hear it and he's like yeah".... Then they start reminiscing again... And the conversation ends with the Dr saying "Everything looks really good keep it up".... Yes, it was really nice that my Dr. and my Hubby have so much in common... Their are 4 Dr.'s on staff at this office and as we leave my Hubby says "I hope we have him for our Dr when you deliver"... I can just see it now.... I'll be pushing and those two will be talking about biking and I'll be shouting "hey can we deliver a baby here."... LOL...... Next appt. May 9Th and they will schedule me for an ultra-sound... In 2 weeks I have to go for that triple screen blood test( I hate that test it takes forever to get the results) and I took another Thyroid test today to make sure my levels are okay.... And hopefully this tiredness and queasy feelings will go away soon... I Pray....

HORRAY..............

We are so excited...... Starting today I am 14 weeks and starting my second trimester... Still don't feel any different but I hope that changes... I can't wait to feel normal again.... To enjoy Life again... I miss my Kids & my Hubby... So hopefully now I'll get my energy back and stop feeling so miserable.... Here's to Spring and new beginnings..... I'm so Thankful for that....
