Surviving Pregnancy with Toddler and a Preschooler

It’s one of the hardest things I had to do in my life. I honestly don’t know how other moms do it. I wouldn't be able to do it all over again. When I was pregnant with the second one. My oldest was three it was easy. I wasn't working. I live a block away from his preschool. It was spring time when I got pregnant so I didn't have to deal with being pregnant in the winter.

This time around I’m working full time as an office manager. Having to wake up the boys in the morning get them ready and put them in the car to take them to their sitter house was the hardest thing ever especially in the winter. Oh the days I had off. I will park the car and then walk a block to take my oldest to school and having to carry the youngest in my arms because it was snowing. It was HARD!

Now that I’m 36.5 weeks pregnant and having to do it still it’s so hard. I would never be able to do it again. I don’t have the energy to do it. On my day off we just home it’s so hard. The youngest it’s 2.5 and he still wants all my attention. It’s hard for me. I’m so beat but I still manage to work full time and do everything a moms needs to do at home.

I honestly give a BIG a round of applause to other mom that can do it. I know I wouldn't be able to do it again. 

Hope for the New Year 2013

"2012 was the year of change for this family (all of our incredible changes were unplanned).  Our lives are so much different from the beginning of 2012, compared to the beginning of 2013."

I'm so thankful for all the changes that happen in 2012. If you would of told me in the beginning of the year that the end of the year. I was going to be five months pregnant with a girl and hire as an office manager. I would've said you are crazy. I didn't plan on having a baby till the year 2013 and I didn't want to work full time. I am very BLESSED and THANKFUL for it all.

I’m excited for all the upcoming events and blessing that this year is going to bring us. I’m very excited to finally have our family completely for good this time around. I will be definitely be cherish every single moment with my family especially with my two boys. 

                Happy New Year from my family to yours. 2013 is going to be a magical year. 

Happy 5th birthday Cameron!

 Happy 5th Birthday, baby! You may be 5, but you will ALWAYS be my baby boy. I'll love you, with all my heart, forever. It is hard to believe that my baby, my first born, is now five. I didn't know that bundle of joy I would be holding in my arms would teach me about unconditional love, trust, patience, and about being a mom!You changed my life completely.Cameron, thank you for opening my eyes to 

a world of carefree innocence I wish I could live by. The joy you get out of simple pleasures in life has taught me to enjoy the small things as well and I have found so much more to smile about. It is hard for me to believe that you are "big", you are no longer a baby.You are a great big brother, your brother is SO lucky and you are a great son, a great helper to me and your daddy. Thank you for being you! I love you "more than you'll ever know"! I want to take this time to wish my baby boy a very HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY! We love you Cameron( ICEY PANTS)!

Happy 2nd birthday Maddox!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY baby boy!It's funny how I think about how sad I was last year at this time with him turning one, but this year, I absolutely LOVE this age. He's the busiest little boy I know and always keeps us on ours toes. He loves climbing things, getting stuck in things, and making big messes. But, he also loves hugs, kisses and cuddles. Despite how busy he is, he'll always take the opportunity to cuddle up with us and I just love it. His best friend in the world is his big brother. Evening though he doesn't say much. We understand everything he says. I want to take this time to wish my baby boy a very HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY! We love you  Maddox (StinkyLinky)!

Married 1 year + Together 7 years = Amazing Happy!

Happy Anniversary MR. Our first year of marriage has been rocked but with everything we overcame it. Turn out to be the most amazing year ever. 

 

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by; sometimes imagining it's been much longer than that, and at other times wondering where it all went. 

In honor of our anniversary, and because sadly I didn’t have a blog when we got married and couldn’t post pictures and memories from it, I’m going to do a post that combines both our wedding day and our anniversary celebration.

This is a picture of all of our friends and family that were at our wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We were so thankful and blessed to have the people we love there to supported and share this amazing day with us. I’m thankful for everyone that was part of our wedding helped to make this day so incredibly special.

One of the biggest questions we got where we were getting married, where we going to have this big wedding, or have something small and simple. Small and simple is what we went with. We start looking online at different places and we found the perfect place.  Outdoor terrace in  Las Vegas.

As we continued planning the wedding we had no trouble in deciding what colors for everyone black and gray. Ladies black dress any style and men’s all black with grays’ vest. Of course the dress shopping was so much fun in one weekend I got a beautiful dress.

Our photographer was incredible and really gave us some amazing shot. 

                                         I couldn’t do it without my two bestfriend’s!

                                                               Sealed With A Kiss. 

We celebrate our wedding 1st Anniversary @ the Sybaris 

Then Saturday on our actually anniversary went to the local bar with everyone that was in our wedding. 

Amazing cake my BFF made us.

Bestfriends!
