It's a BOY

We have our EZRA!!!

At 17 weeks we had an ultrasound that said it was a BOY, but not 100% positive. At 18 weeks we had another ultrasound that said its a GIRL. P and I refused to believe that, total denial so we scheduled our big ultrasound at Touro for a 100% positive result. So at 22 weeks it's a BOY. We had three doctors confirm it today!! We have our Ezra 💙

Due to make his arrival around March 10th 2014!!

BENTO LUNCHES

When I was sending Emma to school, I knew school lunches were going to be an issue. Not that she's picky, far from it actually, she just had good taste!! Well day 1 & 2 I decided we would try school lunch and see how that goes, WELL Emma's response was "mom lunch was gross & I didn't eat it". So I talked to a mom of 5, she would be making lunch for 4 this school year, and she gave me some pretty great ideas and pointed me to her Pinterest lunch board. I searched Pinterest, Facebook & Instagram for more real mom ideas. I wanted to send emma with food she would eat. So here are a few of my creations. I have so many more and can not wait to try new things as the year goes on!!

We're Pregnant...... Again!!!

We're Expecting

Due 3/4/14

So lets have a run down of what we've been up to.....

Last summer Paul & I decided we wanted to expand our family, Emma was three and things had finally started to calm down. 

Elliana Faith was born January 30, 2013 - YAY!! This baby is the sweetest, happiest baby EVER. It's like the sun shines out of her and people have to stop and tell us!!

After Elli we discussed getting Mireana again, but our doctor would not put it in until Mother Nature took her course. My biggest fear was getting pregnant, well guess what WE ARE EXPECTING and due Early March (well we think, since we don't know when anything started). The ride I hear will be "FUN"!!! We will have a 4.5 year old a 13 month old AND a newborn!!! So wish us luck & join us on this ride.

January 1, 2012

So today is the first day of a new YEAR!  Welcome twenty twelve!!! One of the MANY goals I've set for myself for this upcoming year is to record more family moment to do a "family style notebook". One day when I'm old & gray I want to look back and remeber how awesome and truely blessed I was. I tend to forget and or take for granted my life and those who choose to be in it. I'm always waiting for the bucket to fall out and jumping to the worst conclusions, I never bet for you always aginst. I am hoping to change this about myself, by making it a point to realize, remember, and rewrite our daily, weekly, monthlly, activities. To see the good in everything we do!

GOOD BYE 2011

Last night we said good-bye to a good year and started a new one with a BANG! Paul, Emma And myself went over to the in-laws (Aunt Rachel & Uncle Joel were there also.)  We watched the ball drop in New York, NOLA & California, Heard countless performances  and popped about $400 worth of fireworks. It was a fun night with just family we stayed there till around 2:30am (crazy idea when you have a 2 year old). But it was a night to remember - So good-bye old 2011 and HELLO new fresh 2012
