My big news!

Well... 
...
...
...
... 

Do you know now! 

Ha! Finally the secrets out! Boy was it hard to keep! 

I started to show right away! And started feeling pregnancy symptoms even before I missed my period. 

Like  increased sense of smell. Omg I was in tune with every scent/odor around me! 

I had a couple clues very early on. Like mood swings. Ha. I went from zero to 100 real quick. Tired tired tired! Way more exhausted now than I was with little k. 

Early cravings, I remember one day buying takeout and the man next to me bought a milkshake. I never buy or want milkshakes, but this time, my eyes were locked on it. Haha and I had a war in my head, get it, don't get it, just get it, don't get it! I walked out without it. Then couldn't stop thinking about it. I knew right then, I had to be pregnant! lol I sent the husband back out to get it, a chocolate and vanilla one haha! 

Since then my cravings are mostly for salty tangy foods. My emotions are off the wall. I'll cry if I step on a ant kinda emotions. Poor ant could have had a family. I'm mama bear to the extreme. Taking no BS from anyone or anything negative that comes our way. My family first that's my priority. My little boys happiness and well being drives all my decisions. 

Just this weekend I announced my pregnancy on Facebook. The amount of love we received was soo amazing. We love all our family and friends. Seeing them all genuinely happy for us is the best feeling. We are so blessed. 

Our little family is sooo excited! 
Little k is excited to be a big brother, he won't stop talking about it, and already asked to hold the baby. Ha! 

I'll start my weekly pregnancy update posts starting next week. Tracking belly growth and how I'm feeling! 

This picture was taken first week of January! Eep I'm bigger than that now! 

I'm already in maternity pants and skirts. We got 7 more months to go!  Due date expected Aug 22. :)

Fun at the Museum

Little K loves dinosaurs so this weekend we thought he would love seeing the dinosaur bones at the Museum. He's been once before with daddy so he remembered when we told him where we were going and was excited that mommy was going to see everything too! 


He has a dinosaur book and memorized about 20 different dinosaurs. So it was super cute seeing him name some of them as we went along.

I was worried about being out all day with him now that he's fully potty trained. But it's much easier than I thought. Just means more trips to the bathroom while we are out but not one accident. I'm soo proud of him! 


Learning so much! 




Let's dig! 


We had a fun day downtown. We ended the fun with dinner at a near by restaurant. Yum! 

I have a big post coming soon with some news! Stay tuned!

Potty time!

Yes this is the most exciting thing happening right now. Potty training! Well little k has been on and off potty training since he was 2! When I thought he was really getting it  he decided to forget about it. So I left if alone until he was closer to 3. He would go sometimes but other times would full out refuse and say "no I don't want to" or "mommy will clean diaper" haha well finally at just a bit after 3 years old this little man is fully potty trained! All on his own! Well help from us giving him little gifts when he did start going on his own. We did that a couple times and that's it. No more diapers! He was ready when he was ready! 



He even wakes a couple times at night when he has to pee! I wasn't expecting that! 

I'm so proud! Little k has always been like that! We can't force him to do things he doesn't want to do! But when he's ready he's ready and he puts his all in it! 

He's now fully ready for school next month! 

Our kids totally surprise us don't they! 

We had a fun weekend out and about. 

First we tried to get a haircut but that didn't work out ha! But a walk in the mall with his little cousin made for a fun Saturday morning. 


Friday night was date night. Dinner and a movie. We decided to go to red lobster, omg we haven't been there in years! 

We then caught a late movie. American Sniper. It was such a good movie. The theatre was silent when it was over not a word as people exited the theatre. Watch it! 

Today the weather was better so we went for a little walk in the park before running some errands. 
Weekend is over, another tired Monday ahead! Haha!

Weekend fun!


Sushi lunch! So fun watching little man concentrate on using chopsticks to pick up 1 pea at a time haha
His favorite at sushi lunch was; edamame, veggie rice, avocado/cucumber rolls, tempura crab and veggies, and miso soup! Yum! 

We also had a cousins 2nd birthday party which was a blast for the kids. 



Little K loves being with all his cousins. He asks for them all daily! We just don't get to see eachother enough, but when we do, there's lasting memories of fun and warm love. 

Of course little k ran so fast to blow out those candles. Oh boy. 

And at the end of the night, pj's on and story time from Tia. 


Total cuteness! 


3 year old doctor checkup!

Last week little K had his 3 year doctor appt. 

He was excited to see the doctor. As soon as his doctor came in, he HAD to tell him all about his dinosaurs haha and started naming a whole bunch. 
Little mans height and weight are perfect. He's 30lbs right on. 

He even did an eye exam! I wish I took pictures. He was so good listening to the
optometrist and answering his questions about the pictures he was pointing out. Well, perfect vision he has so we are good! 

Next is his ear checkup in a couple weeks. Ear infections are still a common thing around here :( less than when he was younger and hopefully he will soon grow out of it. 

I took the whole day off to spend it with my little man. We also went to see 2 preschools. 

Little K loved visiting the 2 schools and seeing all the kids. Both schools were very good and an option. We narrowed it down to one Montessori school we think little k will love. 

So he will be starting there in a couple months. Big changes for my little man but I know he will love it! 

We are all so excited!

2015! New Years Eve fun

Sooo another year has come and gone. Thank you 2014 for all the new and overcome challenges, making me into a stronger and better person today than I ever have been. I'm clearer on my path. Clearer on love and acceptance and clearer on my beliefs and values. 
I have big plans for 2015 and I'm excited as I work daily towards them. My blog is growing towards a dream and really that's the motto for my life. I've been through so many adversities in my life and I've only used that all to grow into a better person. So my life isn't just growing toward " A" dream. It's a life long growing towards our dreams as a family. My little family. 
We may not always have it together, but together WE have EVERYTHING! 

That's not our usual attire though ha! 

That was New Year's Eve fun! 

New Year's Eve we spent at my brothers new home with family and friends. It was great because the kids had eachother to have fun. We always need to think of what will give them a good time too! :)


The kids had such a fun time.



As did us adults! 

Ha! Us being silly with our niece sharing her apple juice. 

New Year's Eve selfies! 


We played fun games and had a great night! 

Happy 2015 to you all!
