Today

Today was a busy day,

Started off with a nice breakfast with my family I made my husband and I eggs and Sarah Cece (cereal) it was a very happy start to our day!

Then off to a meeting for nurture! I'm sooooo excited it is starting again I can hardly wait! I am going to be a table leader this time and I'm so anxious and excited! I'm relying on God to show me how to be a great one!  The meeting went great and was very encouraging! It was great to meet the rest of the team who will be going on this adventure with me! These woman mean so much to me and have been a very important lifeline in my life! Without them I don't know if I would be as strong in my faith as I am to be totally honest! The best part was when I went to go get Sarah in her classroom she was soo happy and content it made me feel so confident that I was in the right place doing the right thing! when I peeked through the window she was holding hands with a little girl getting ready to play ring around the rosy! soooo stinking cute I wanted to cry! maybe cause I'm pregnant and everything makes me cry but mostly cause I knew she is and always has been in good hands at Rock Harbor I never have to worry! 

On our way home we made some stops along the way, first was to the blue icy store (as Sarah calls it) lol (Target) We got our usual and on our way to shop picked up some fun crafts in the $1 section! our favorite spot! We could spend all day there but we didn't. Our next stop was to trader Jose where I think they know us by name...lol... Sarah picked out her usual snacks fruit leathers and dried fruit. Yummy! and on our way our she is so happy to have been given stickers and balloon. she thinks its the best :) 

Today we got home after our outings and did a craft. This one is going to Mimi! she painted it all by herself (my supervision) and made a really cute birdhouse. or as Sarah calls it a Tweet house. (all animals are called after what sound they make) lol

Following painting was naptime and today was a very short one! only 1/2 hour!!! lol but she is in such a good mood I agreed to let her out. :)

She is back to painting and decided to do some watercoloring and this time body art as well....lol...

Lets just way today is a good day!

The Learning process...

Being a mommy is the Best and getting to be a stay at home mommy is even better! To be the one to comfort, hold and kiss my girl everyday all day is the best feeling ever! No Job could ever make me feel the way I feel. I am so determined to do the best job I can to bring up a well rounded well educated little girl.! So with that said...

Yesterday I made Sarah a little art/learning corner in her room designated only to crafts and learning! (we may be in small quarters but that wont stop me) I took a trip to the teacher store and picked up some decorations and a teaching preschool book filled with fun activities. Sarah is so proud of her little corner she couldn't wait till daddy got home to show it off! She was so proud of her first learning page we did together. These will be some of the days I will always remember! I feel very proud to be her mommy. At 2yrs old, Sarah knows her colors, shapes and she can count to 10! We spend our time at home practicing all this and working learning new shapes and making new projects. She also mastered the art of making a smiley face and most of them have a stick body and sometimes she decided to add arms and legs lol....too cute!  

This is my journal so I can look back years from now remembering the days when life was filled with all the firsts. :-) 

Im so blessed and happy to be a mom! And with #2 baby on the way I'm so excited to be able to this again with another child! Thank you God for the blessing of children, Thank you for trusting me with your treasure and thank you for loving me sooooo much that I get to raise children to know and love you!

Mimi's house...

We Love to visit Mimi! (my mom)

Sarah enjoys all her visits to her Mimi's house and I enjoy seeing her spend time with her and enjoying the dogs and all the fun activities! There is always some surprise Mimi has for Sarah wether its a new coloring book or new paints. Something is always waiting for her at Mimi's! its the best drive cause on the way down all she can say is "yay! Mimi's house!" so its not a long painful drive at all! When we pull up to her house she claps and knows exactly where we are spending the weekend! Our visits usually involve baking cookies, playing out in the yard digging in the dirt and playing her her play house and going up and down the slide. I get to put my feet up for a bit and let her run wild. I even usually get to sneak off and spend some much need quality time with my Paco! I love to go over her house and stay all playing cards and drinking a starbucks.!  We both love enjoying spending our weekend visit with Aunti Tay and Uncle Dustin and playing around laughing and making memories! 

These are just a few of the photos we have from Mimi's house :)

Im still alive.....

Finally!

Ok so after like 4 months of no blogging im back! Im feeling better and ready to catch up on the last 4 months.

Well to start with he big news! We are expecting baby #2! and are very very excited! Cant wait to meet the new princess or prince that I'm growing in my belly! This pregnancy has taken me for a loop! Its completely different from Sarah's. I was sooooo sick! I actually wont go into to much detail but ended up getting a prescription from my wonderful doctor to help me get back on my feet so I can take care of my wonderful and active 2yr old! I also had to get a root canal this past week! yuk! I knew something was wrong when I woke up with a tooth ache and scheduled and emergency appointment especially since all I can take is Tylenol! :( Feeling much better now! And back to my normal schedule and lifestyle of being a busy and active Mom to my toddler! 

Im 17 weeks! 18 on friday! and yes, Im showing I have a baby bump and very proud of it! 

SO let see,

This summer has been filled with almost daily trips to the pool we are so lucky to have here in our quiet community. 

And a few days to the beach along with going kyaking with my husband and Adrian!

 that was sooooo fun! And now we want our own so we can go more! It was a very fun adventure as a family Sarah sat in my lap and we took them out to the bay and enjoyed a fun family day. we found a little hidden beach that we pulled up to and swam in the water for a bit and relaxed in the sun. As we headed back in it was so pretty to see the sun on the water and all the beautiful houses. lots of fun and sooo entertaing for Sarah! she loved all the birds and we even got to see a few fish jump out of the water. Se thought it was sooo neat to see her brother paddling out there and her Daddy right by our side in his own kyake. Oh and of course Doggie came too! cant go anywhere without him! he sat in her lap the whole time! lol tooo cute! 

We have taken a few trips to the happiest place on earth! yes Disney! we love that place and if wasnt so hot this summer we would have spent more days there. I had a few mommy and me trips and Sarah loves that cause she gets my undivied attenion. and is so happy to be with her mommy and im so happy and blessed to be with my daughter everyday!

 we learned this summer at disney tha she is big enough to drive th ebumper cars all by herself!

 

and loves fast spinning rides.! lol...she cracks me up as we go around and around she saying "weeeee" oh how i never ever want to forget that little voice! It makes me so proud and happy to be her mommy! i could go on and on like most parents could im sure. lol

We even got to squeeze in a little family time at disney as daddy got a pass too! yay! Sarah was so happy to have Daddy there! she loves family time and loves her Daddy! :)
