My amazing sister

Tomorrow will be my 34th birthday and I got an early birthday present from my sister. She is truly amazing in so many ways......just to name a few a great mother, amazing sister, wonderful wife, cancer survivor and such a crafty person. Check out some of her latest sewing projects and my beautiful purse she made for me. I love you sis and thanks so much for taking the time to make me such a special gift!

Anyone interested in buying a well handmade purse, let me know. My sister would love to make one for you, at a cost ofcourse :)

23 weeks today :)

She's growing up fast!

Our little princess is getting so big and FAST! These last three weeks, she has gone thru a lot of changes. Potty training, slept in her big girl bed last night for the 1st time and got her toes painted for the 1st time yesterday! We have been looking for a twin bed, but haven't found one yet and with her being potty trained she needed to be in a big girl bed, so we converted her crib for now until we need it for her baby brother. She did really well last night. Only fall out of bed once and was sound asleep on the floor when we went up to check on her.

Yesterday afternoon she asked me, "momma can you toes for paint". She has noticed some of her friends with toes painted and it was so cute when she asked for hers. We went to the store just to pick out her own polish and she enjoyed that :)

JR you will always be our baby girl! We love you and are so proud of you!

Concert in the park

Last night we went down the street to our local concert in the park. JR loves music, so we thought she would enjoy it. She got to stay up late and enjoy! You can see for yourself how much she enjoyed it :) Sorry for the sideways videos, I forgot to turn my phone.

Fun with Estella :)

The past two weeks we have spent some fun times with my really good friend, Maria and her lovely two girls. JR loves spending time with Estella and Victoria and ofcourse Maria too :) So wish I was a stay at home mom so we could have more fun days like these! I got some cute pictures of JR and Estella and thought I would share :)

Last two weeks and cousins!!!!

The last two weeks, I've been off work and having the time of my life spending it with JR. Last week was a really crazy busy week for us. Monday ~ children's museum with Estella, Maria and Victoria. Tuesday ~ doctor's appt to hear baby brother's heartbeat and lunch out with JR. Wednesday ~ Gymboree class and park fun. Thursday ~ breakfast with friends and pool fun! And concert in the park at Balboa in the evening with Daddy and Reifer family. Friday ~ Gymboree class. Saturday ~ Mission bay park fun and picnic unch with Estella, Victoria and Maria. Sunday ~ Mission trails park to feed the ducks and have a picnic lunch with Daddy.

This week has been much more mellow and just enjoying fun! Monday ~ we relaxed after a long busy weekend with Daddy. We did make it to the park for some fun! Tuesday ~ some more park fun! Wednesday ~ Gymboree class and park fun! Today ~ library for storytime and park fun!

You would think since I've had all this time off work and home, I would have blogged more, sorry! Just not enough time in the day for it all. The pictures I'm posting with this are not even from my time off, but another fun day at the zoo with JR and her cousins :) Been meaning to post them. I'll try and get some other cute pictures posted soon. Enjoy :)

He has short hair again....

This weekend Tavo decided he had enough of his long hair and wanted to get it cut. We knew it was long enough to donate, so that is just what he did. Results of short hair again :)
Before...
And after...

She's mastering it ;)

This is a chart we have been using to motivate JR to go in the potty! This is a picture from last Tuesday the 19th. Since JR turned two she has shown signs of wanting to use the potty, but only went pee and poo in it once then wanted nothing more to do with it. We backed off and let her come around. Of course this is really hard when your daughter knows very well she needs to pee or poo before it is happening. Chayo is on vacation and JR spent some time with her auntie Shelly and her cousins last week. On Monday the 18th, JR decided to start using the potty at Auntie's. I had planned to work with her during the 3 weeks that Chayo was going to be on vacation and I was going to be off work for 2 weeks. It all worked out perfect, she was READY! I think it really took going over to Auntie's first to get it all started, but whatever works, right.

We are so proud of her! We are on week two and she is doing so well. No diapers when we go out. She is doing so well wearing big girl undies and telling us when she needs to go. Only wearing diapers at nap and night time. I think night time is going to take some work, she wets a lot at night. She uses the public restroom so well when we go out. I think she actually waits until we get to a place to tell me she has to pee. I wish she would just go at home ofcourse, public restrooms are not my favorite. She will not poop in the potty yet, which I'm not sure what to do about that. She waits till nap time or night time when she has a diaper on to do that. One step at a time, right.

WAY TO GO JAYCEE!

Circus Fun!

On Saturday we went to Barnum & Bailey Circus. What a blast! It was both, mine and JRs 1st time! We are so proud of JR, she did so well for the whole 2 hrs and 15mins. She was in totally amazement :) Those of you that know JR well, know that she doesn't sit still for long :) Here are some pictures from our fun morning :)




Having a GREAT time!













When we first arrived.......JR in total amazement. Not sure what to think.

It's a BOY!

He was pretty active today during the ultrasound, had a hard time getting pictures. Today I'm 19 weeks. Enjoy the pictures from today.

Can you tell, his little penis :) Cute little foot too :)
