To all those hard working, loving, and caring mothers out there

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I hope your day is as special as you are!

We're Having a Baby!!!!

Wow! So was not expecting this.

I had a feeling, but really did not worry or think about it. I have noticed I was more tired than usual and missed Aunt Flo , which is pretty normal for me. I just thought all the mount of work we have had and the daily routines, keeping up with a 3 1/2 yr old and still trying to get the house unpacked was getting to me. Since we moved its been non-stop.

I think we are at about 6-8 weeks along per my calculations , will see once I get to see the doctor and have a more accurate idea how far along I am. If I am right, according to some online calculations, this baby's due date is Christmas Day...... EEK! not cool.....or is it????? LOL!



We are excited and nervous at the same time. Since we lost Adrian (almost 6 years ago) I get into panic mode and I want to be in a bubble for the rest of the pregnancy and there is my age, I will be 40 in December, I am so nervous. I know God has a plan and things happen for a reason and we just hope and pray everything goes well with this pregnancy. With Briana, we had a scare with spotting and they put me in bed rest for at least 3 days, well I stayed in bed for a week, I did not want to take any chances and we got house cleaners and family and friends helped me a lot. I am glad we don't have to worry about going up and down the stairs, since the new house is a one story.

Oh, we have not told Briana yet. We want to wait a little bit longer to explain to her she will be having a little brother or sister. I think we will tell her once we get the first ultrasound, maybe it will be easier that way.


Anyway, I am just rambling on. Thought I would share some news with you all and I hope you will keep us in your prayers.

What a Beautiful Sunday

Love lazy Sundays. Not much happening with us, just lots of work has come in so we've been pretty busy. I did manage to get a layout done today for a challenge at SD4U. Briana and I had a pedicure this afternoon and then we are off to my brothers house for some BBQ and family fun time. Its going to be fun, its beautiful outside, 95 and very windy. You really do not feel the heat that much with this wind....LOL! George is already complaining that its going to be murder in the summer here. We shall see. He is such a baby. He hates the heat and I love it. :D





Here is the layout I did today. The colors are so off, scanner hates pink for some reason. I will need to re-do it tomorrow.

This is our Briana, the dancing queen. She loves it when I put music on, she especially loves Rhianna's Disturbia song.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Easter!!

I hope you and yours have a wonderful Easter weekend.

New Sofas for us.

Today we bought a new sofa and love seat for the family room. We so needed them. I love the old ones, but they are worn out after almost 13 years. The old sofa was the first purchase we made when we got married. They have been through a lot with us.....6 moves, a crazy cat, sickie's and dirty hands from babies and toddlers......LOL! It was time to say good-bye.

Anyways, the new sofas will be delivered on Tuesday, can't wait. Here are some Internet pictures I found. The colors here look a little bit lighter than in real life, but it does state the color we choose, the Cocoa color. Now I am wondering how it will look....darker or lighter. Ugh, I hate showroom lighting.

Doesn't it look comfy? We wanted something we can rest comfortably while watching television, it is after all for the family room.

This one is the sofa.

This one is the love seat.

A Conversation with Briana......

Scene: Briana playing with some plastic Easter eggs and putting some little plastic baby chick inside.

Briana comes running into the office, where I am working.

Briana: Mommy we need to go find Baltimore (our big fat male cat) right away!!!

Mommy: Why?

Briana: because Balty does not have a baby and I need to give him this egg so he can hatch his little baby and he won't be alone anymore.

Mommy: Laughing her ass off trying to explain to her 3 yr old that our fat male cat or any cat does not hatch eggs.

Briana: But, Mommy he needs to have a baby!

A Day At the Museum

What a great day we had today. Briana has been wanting to go see Dinosaurs for weeks, I have no idea where she got that idea. So, George decided to take her to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. She was so excited, George has bought her a Dinosaur book on Thursday and she would carry it everywhere and even slept with it......LOL! I couldn't remember going here when I was a little girl, but my brother says we have been there many times, he has such a good memory, sad that we are only 11 months apart and he remembers so many things that I don't.

Anyhow, here is some pictures I took yesterday, I have a lot more but they need to be edited.....badly! Lighting in museums are so terrible and of course there are always people in the way, especially when they see you trying to take a picture of something of someone....no courtesy.


This is the entrance to the museum.

This is at the entrance near the sidewalk.

Briana digging for fossils. She had so much fun, this is all she wanted to do all day.

The dinosaurs you first see when entering the museum. Briana was so scared of them, she just wanted me or her dad to hold her and she kept saying how scary and really really big they are. It was so funny. Finally after 20 mins later she would walk around them, but she would not pose next to them for me.

Hope you enjoyed the bad pictures.....LOL!
