Fresh air...

Today we enjoyed some much needed fresh air at Lake Murray to feed the ducks, run around and have a picnic lunch! A nice family day out :) Since we are not a 100% better, thought it would be safe to go someplace outdoors so we wouldn't get others sick, just in case we still have cooties.

We made it........

Today was my first day at home ALL day with both kiddos. First off since we have all been sick and stuck in the casa JR has not been too happy. So today made it rough since she is so in need of some outside time other than the backyard. I have some adjusting to do for sure, thought the shower was going to be easy, but was NOT. Roman was to sleep in the swing outside the shower while JR and I shower, but he woke up screaming while showering and JR had a huge fit in the shower. No Daddy home to save me. I know we will adjust and it will only get better, but today has been long and I know it's only 6pm right now, but I'm ready for bed. Tavo has the babies while I take a few minutes to myself on the computer. Atleast dinner is already done and over with :)

Today Tavo had his first day of school. He got into the apprenticeship program! Couldn't be more proud of him and only means better things for our family! Way to go Daddy! We love you!

4 weeks

Today our little man turned 4 weeks! Wow that went by really fast! Sad to say currently he is a little under the weather, congested and stuffy :( Actually JR, me and Roman all started the New Year off being sick :( Thought Roman would stay healthy since I'm nursing him, but with big sister in his face ALL the time kinda hard for him not to get our cold. He didn't get it too bad, but still sad hearing him have a hard time breathimg at times. We are on day 5 of  being stuck in the house and JR is so ready to be outside. I feel so bad for her, she keeps saying mommy I'm better not sick anymore. Hopefully we will be healthy soon!

Roman is doing really well, besides being a little sick. We started giving him a bottle a day of mommy milk and he has been doing very well :) Hopefully Chayo will have a easy time with giving him a bottle when I have to go back to work.

Happy New Year!!!

This New Year Eve's was pretty mellow. We spent the evening with some neighbor friends and had a nice dinner. Thanks Lindsey and Ben for a nice dinner and hosting :) The kids got to stay up late and play with one another. Good times! We came home at a responsible hour and made it through the next couple hours to kiss at midnight :)

Today was suppose to be a day of football with friends, but everyone stayed home. It turned out to be a long exhausting day! Took down all the Christmas decoration with help from Jaycee. She loves to help, but it took all day it seems between nursing, playing, and cooking. So ready to crash, but still feel like I have a million things to do. Guess it will still be there to do tomorrow or sometime this week ;) At least some of the laundry is done and the house is pretty much back in order. At least the downstairs is :) Tavo goes back to work next week, so who knows what our casa is going to look like once he is back.

Some pictures from last nights fun!

Happy 3 weeks :)

Our baby boy turned 3 weeks today. I can't hardly believe it's already been 3 weeks, time truly does go by fast. Today he had his first trip to the zoo with sister, mommy, daddy and friends Sara and Emma. Roman did really well during our time at the zoo :)

A few picture updates to share :)

Merry Merry Christmas

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful time with family! We love you all! So blessed to have a wonderful family!

BTW.....I do realize I'm behind on my posts and I'm sorry. Things have been really busy and not much time on the computer lately. I'll try and post updated pictures soon. It's late now and I need to get to bed. Can't believe our little guy is already past 2 weeks old and will be 3 weeks this Thursday.

Happy 3rd Birthday to our princess Jaycee!!!! And happy 1 week to Roman! We love you both and JR we are so proud of the big girl you are becoming! We are truly blessed to have both of our babies in our lives!

We already celebrated JRs birthday early. We wanted to make sure we had a special day just for her before baby brother came! First we had a small celebration on Dec 1st with her park buddies. I made cupcakes and took to the park. We are surrounded by such great friends in our neighborhood! Then on Dec 4th we had a small family celebration with cake, icecream and pinata! Some cute pictures below from the fun!

Yummy chocolate cupcake!

Park buddies!

The cake :) Again chocolate, has to be for JR!

Cousins, just missing baby Ellis!

A rainy day project!

Due to the rain and the fact that we are just hanging around the house anyway. We decided to put together our gingerbread house. Jaycee had a fun time putting the candy on and eating it at the sametime :)
