Easter weekend fun!

We had a great Easter weekend. Spending it with family and lots of food and chocolate! 

Our weekend started Thursday night. Pizza dinner at a Italian restsurant. Ohhhhh this pizza was so soooool good! I can't wait to go back!

Friday we went to my inlaws for a yummy fish lunch! Getting together with everyone is always so much fun.  With a couple bottles of wine at the table and playing name that song ha! It was a lot of laughs. 

The ladies :) we had some kinda nice weather haha. 

Saturday we had a busy day. Running errands and doing house work. 

While we were out we stopped for some Colombian empanadas!!

Saturday night we had a quiet little family dinner at a restaurant in the area of our new home, we wanted to check out the area! 

And today! Easter Sunday!

My sister is soo sick with strep throat :( so she stayed home, but we did have little E at lunch and she loved playing with the big kids.

We have wayyy too much chocolate here. Want some?

I'm really enjoying these classes! I can already feel from these 2 classes that my muscles are stronger and I can't wait for next weeks 2 classes! 

Yesterday we had a big day too. We finalized all the tiles/cabinets/countertops for our new house! A 3 hour appointment!! 

I can't wait to see the finished product! 

Here's a glimpse of the kitchen colors! 

Changing it up.

I want to change my blog up a bit. Well maybe not change... But change the way I write on it. 

I'm thinking of doing more posts about fashion, 

exercise, 

healthy eating, 

my goals, 

and my little guys milestones of course! 

I  just want to add more of a variety. Like I use to!  I also want to get back into blogging with other bloggers on the same topics like show us your life with Kelly's korner blog.

Lots of fun to come! ;) happy Monday. 

Ouch bootcamp

Yesterday I tried out a bootcamp class in my area. 

The whole day I was battling myself... Should I go, shouldn't I go. Thinking I don't really have the time... But I need to make the time! I'm shy! They might look at me funny because I don't know the moves! Haha excuse after excuse. At lunch I went out to buy workout clothes just to get myself hyped. After work I got home  made dinner, played with little K then got dressed up and ready to go! I didn't look back ha! I walked in, signed up and went in to warm up.

The women were sooo friendly! They welcomed me and warned me haha. The class was going to be one of the hardest ones they do. Oh boy. 

Then it started. 1 hour of non stop body workouts! I was drenched in sweat. I had to slow it down a couple times, my legs were gonna give out eek!

My emotions were all over the place during the workout. From "omg I can do this, it feels great" to "omg what am I doing, these woman are so fit, I don't belong" when it was over I felt so proud of myself but also felt down about my current body shape. I walked out and cried. Now that's a good workout :). Today I can barely move... I think the bootcamp is awesome! And from my emotions being all over I decided I'm going to sign up and go twice a week! I'm soo ready for this! 

Spring is here? Maybe so!

I'm excited for new spring/summer fashion. I've been slowly buying new pieces to my wardrobe. 

I got these about a month ago and looking forward to wearing them soon! 

Really love these gold tip MK's! 

I'm going for a fresh new work wardrobe and of course a fun weekend, running after a toddler wardrobe. 

Some things on my list. 

Dresses and more dresses! 

Fun Skirts! 

Denim! 

Flats/runners! 

Heels and more heels! 

Weekend fun

This weekend my little niece had her birthday party! Little k loves being with his cousins! He had soo much fun at little E's party, playing, face painting and fun with the clown . Little E turned 1 she is just adorable! And adorably dressed too! 

Little k also started his first class in soccer this weekend! It was the cutest thing! He kicks that ball so well! And of course loves the fact that he can run and run and run! The coaches loved him. Especially when he took breaks to drink his water and eat goldfish, or ran around calling out all the colors he saw. Haha

Cutie pie! 

Mr big boy 2 year old

I haven't done one of those "what's little K up to these days" in a while! 

So what's little K up to these days! 

29 months old! 29lbs! Ha always the same as the month. 

Size 5 diapers. Slowly potty training! 

Size 2-3t in clothes 

Size 7.5 in toddler shoes 

Eats most foods. Still loves his fruits and veggies the most! 

Bye bye pacifier last month. He never asks for it either! 

He's always singing or humming away. It's the cutest thing! He sings the full twinkle twinkle little star, sings his abc's! And many other kiddie songs too. 

Little K always wakes up with a big smile!

  He loves his daycare and is always telling us about his day and about his friends. He's mr talkative, I love listening to him talk and I'm always soo surprised by the sentences he puts together! 

Some of his favorite sayings...

"Zoe get down"

"Zoe go downstairs"

"Good morning Zoe" 

"Come on mama/dada"

"All better"

"No I don't want it" 

"Oh what's that"

"I'm tired mama"

"Breakfast yaaaa"

"Mommy I weee you" ( I love you) 

"Mika bite my back" (ha this happened so long ago and he mentions it almost everyday. When his big cousin bit him) 

Oh the list goes on and on 

Little k still loves, airplane and car toys the most! 

His favorite thing to do is brush his teeth every morning and evening with his daddy. Once he's done he runs to come show me. "Mama I brushed my teeth." 

He knows pretty much all his colors, many shapes, some numbers and letters too. 

He pays close attention to what's going on around him and boy does he have a sharp memory too! Since he was able to do things on his own, little k would always practice and practice something new until he got it! He is still like that! Very determined and persistent! It's amazing watching him learn and grow. 

He is the light in our life. Such a big personality for a little boy. He keeps us busy and fills our hearts with so much joy. We love him soo much and I'm soo blessed to be this little boys mom! 

Bye bye pacifier

Little k started using the pacifier a little later than most kids. I usually used it only for bedtime but when I went back to work full-time after he turned 2, he started asking for it more and more and not just for sleep. 

But for a couple months now little k kept on losing his pacifiers. It was getting harder and harder to find the ones he liked. Dr. Browns 18+. One month I ended up buying pink ones because they were the only pack left at Walmart! 

A couple weeks ago we were down to one pacifier. We had gone to watch the Lego movie one night and I decided to bring it. Well he dropped it at the theatre and we couldn't find it! We came home and searched the house, but that was the last one.  Little k asked for it at bedtime (chuchu he calls it) but we said it was in the garbage :/ he went to bed without it and was ok all night! Then the next couple days he asked for it once or twice and we said the same thing. 

Fast forward to week 3 and we are pacifier free! He did find one in his toy box one day and was so happy and popped it in his mouth right away. I asked for him to give it to me, he did. He cried a little but eventually forgot about it. We threw it out. So hopefully no others are hiding around. Once in a while he will come ask me for it but I say I don't have it and he's ok with that. 

Wish potty training was that easy :P

Love this little man to bits! 

Family party

Yesterday my cousins had a 65th birthday party for their mom. Our family get togethers are always fun.

The food was delicious! 

Little K ate soo much! Of course starting with the grilled peppers and tomatoes. Sausages, fried calamari, Then pasta and Parmesan by the spoon fulls! And some hen and lamb! Yum! 

As little k was eating he would turn around to call his great grandfather to let him see how he's eating so much. Ha! 

The kids were so cute and they just love eachothers company! 

I love this picture of the girls. Such a strong supportive group of women. Women with strong family values that always put their family first, respect others and are always there for you the second you call. We are a strong family, a family that offers support not advice or pressure and always always puts love and family first. Something I'm learning to really respect.  I'm soo grateful for my roots! As a parent now I respect my grandparents and parents for all that they have taught us. I hope to be such a good example for my son too. 

Our family has been through so much. We have shed many tears together, tears of great sadness of loss and tears of happiness in miracles. 

Yesterday I looked over at my aunt and felt so emotional seeing her up beat, healthy, smiling, enjoying her food, enjoying our family together. Last year we were in a very different place. Unsure of what will happen as she fought liver disease in the ICU. But. Miracles do happen and she received her liver transplant and this picture I will treasure. How amazing does she look! Another family trait I inherited... We don't give up easily. We fight. We fight till we have nothing left and hope for that miracle.

Some more pics of the party 

Ha! My poor brother, grew up with 2 sisters now 2 daughters. A pro and playing barbies. 

Cuddles with my little niece. She was so cute and even trying to reach for me from across  the room! Love her!
