New Look!

No not me. My Blog. It was time for a little change. How do you like?

Sunday Seven

1. What a week. We had a unexpected visit from Cousin Betty (George side of the family) from Florida. She is a big Michael Jackson fan since she was like 11 years old. So she just had to fly out to California for his memorial. George took her to all of Michael Jackson tourist places. They went to Hollywood to see the star, the Holmby Hills home where he lived, his parents Encino home, and they drove all the way to the Neverland Ranch. We have tons of photos, like well over 600. We did not get picked to go the memorial, but we watched it at home and it was heartbreaking.

2. Besides doing all the Micheal Jackson stuff, we did all sort of things and went all over. We spent the 4Th of July driving the coast and stopping at the pier to watch all the fireworks. So much fun.

3. Here I am at 15 weeks pregnant. George loves taking candid pictures.....Ugh! I look terrible. I need him to take some good belly pictures, now that I have a lot more energy and feeling a lot better, no more nausea and thank goodness, I have not had any migraine headaches for a week now.

4. Went to my OB/GYN last week. Love hearing the babys heart beat. Hate getting blood out. The poor nurse could not get any blood out of me for the life of her. She tried and tried, nothing. Told her I must be dead, if I have no blood coming out at all. This made her laugh and she was more relaxed with me, said glad I have a sense of humor. She was new there and was so embarrassed. So now I have a few bruises and I have to make an appointment with the lab so they can see if they can get some blood out of me. Wish me and them luck...... LOL!

5. Love this picture of Cousin Betty and Briana. It was there first time meeting each other. We were so shocked with Briana. She is really shy when she meets someone and it takes her about an hour to warm up to you. Not, with cousin Betty! She would not leave her side for anything, she kept telling her how much she loved her and she would only let her put her in her car seat and do her hair. Briana was so attached to her that she kept telling George and Me that she was going home with her on the plane.....What!!!! She cried when Cousin Betty left and keeps telling me how she wished Cousin Betty would stay with us forever and ever. Poor girl.



6. On Saturday, we went to our friends little girls 5Th Birthday Pool Party at her friends private community clubhouse and pool. It was so much fun. I ended up being the photographer/photo taker, as the parents were so busy with the family and guest, they totally for got to take pictures. I am so glad I always take my camera. Briana and George had so much fun in the pool, at first she did not want to go in, but then changed her mind. I wished I would of gotten in with them, but I did not feel like spending over $50 for a maternity bathing suit to wear only once or twice, since we don't know anyone with a pool and we don't go very often to the beach.


7. Here is a Briana and Mommy conversation we had the other day.

Briana: Mommy I want a sister, not a brother.

Mommy: Well, Briana its not really up to us if you will have a sister or a brother. We will have to wait and see.

Briana: But, Mommy! I want a sister!!!

Mommy: Briana, its okay to have a brother, I have 2 brothers. What will you do if the baby will be a brother?

Briana: Well, Mommy! (with a sassy voice and her hands on her hips) you can always go change it for a sister!!!

Mommy: Laughing her arse off!!!

Got to love how their little minds work.

Have a great week everyone! Thanks for visiting my pad. {{HUGS}}

Happy Fathers Day!!

Happy Father Day, Babe!!! You are such a great Father to our little girl. I love you.

We had a nice relaxing Fathers Day here at at home. Just the 3 of us. George did not want to do anything but relax, and relax he did. He slept in and also took a 4 hour nap...LOL! Poor guy really needed some sleep. After his all day sleeping, he rode his bike out with his little girl and we barbecued some steaks. That's about all we did, just what he wanted. It was a perfect day.

This is the card I did for him....well Briana helped me and I had her write something inside....She told me what to write and we wrote it together...;D

That's about it for now. Thanks for visiting me. {HUGS}

Hello my Friends

Not much has been happening around here, just the usually family household things. I am now approx. 10 weeks along, even though I look bigger than that (so I've been told by my loving husband). I still get very tired and just want to sleep all day and I am eating every 2 hours...Argh!! Briana is adjusting well with my belly, she still says she does not want brother and sister (notice she says "and", we keep telling her its "or"), she just wants her daddy....gotta love a toddler. She does care in her own way, she sometimes brings me a bottle water or a Hershey's kisses and says its for brother and sister to feel good....LOL! Love her!!!

I have been getting back to scrap booking, getting my mojo back...yeah!!!

I did this layout with the Marks Paper Company, love this line. I bought the kit from Citrus Tree Studio and entered it in the manufacture contest at Scrapfreak. I need to see if I can scan it a little bit better. I also did some other things with this line, I just need to take a picture of them.

That's about it for now. Just wanted everyone to know we are doing good.

Thanks for stopping by. {{{HUGS}}}

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.
