SNOW!!

I think the only good thing about living in this city is that they have activities on different times of the year at the Sports Complex. They have a 4th of July party with fireworks, never been, but I have heard it is nice. We went to the Halloween party and it was great. They had activities for the kids, a chili cook off, baking contest, Haunted House and a Costume Contest.
We just came back from the Holiday Party, they had food, hot chocolate, Santa, reindeer, elf, and SNOW. Well crushed ice and all the kids had a blast throwing crushed ice all over the place. Even my Monkey had fun, since we are deprived of the real thing we had to conform with this. They also had soap from this machines coming down like it was falling from the sky.

Here's a video of that!




We have been pretty much stress free since we don't have to worry about choosing who's house we are going for X-mas. But something always has to go bad, today I had a car accident. Not anything major the baby and I are just fine but I am going to make a appt. just to make sure. So I was backing out of a parking spot to go to lunch, I looked back I saw a silver Honda go by and then nothing was there, then I just hear the crash. I was so mad at myself but whatever, I get out and its one of our well know customers at the bank. damn it! I said I was very very sorry and asked him what he wanted to do he just had a dent no scratches, he said not to worry he would fix it himself, but my rear light broke, and my bumper went into the tire. I said I didn't want to do that, I wanted him to get his car fixed and my insurance would pay. So far no one was mad, well I was but only at myself because I should have seen him. Then as I was calling my insurance company he got all mad because he wanted to talk to my insurance, like if I was a child and did not know what the hell I was doing. I told him that I ask for his information so that they could fix the cars, not to get anyone in trouble them he wanted to call the cops as if I had run from the scene or something. What an ASSHOLE. I am not making sense but I just had to vent because I was only trying to help ,even though he has some crappy car that's as old as I am. Now I feel better and I am not upset anymore. It's just a CAR. What matters is that we are all healthy and happy.

Things are going as planned. We got our tile put in about two weeks ago and it looks great. We went to Oregon this past weekend, it was a great trip. I loved Oregon, great people, great place, very beautiful State.

Holidays:
The holidays are coming and I hate it. I hate that we had to split our time between two family's, so after the HELL we went through in Thanksgiving we have decided that we are staying home this year. If our family wants they can come see us here at our house. Starting next year we are going to go away for the holidays which I think is a great idea. I don't care where it is just as long as its away from family DRAMA.


Our Trip to Oregon:
I fell in love. Everyone that we told that we where going to Oregon was like "why?". I have to say at first I did not know what to expect but it was a great trip. We went to the Pacific Ocean, and took some really great pictures thanks to Joel, Jose's friend who we were surprising. He just published his book, which Jose is in, Its called " Night of A Thousand Stars and other Portraits of Iraq. I would like to thank Nicole and Joel for inviting us to Oregon and opening their home, and for everything you guys did while we were there. Hopefully you'll visit us someday.

Anthony :
I think he has gone insane, or maybe thats just how all little boys are. He bit a girl at Day Care again and this time he left a mark on her. I don't know what to do, we weren't there to tell him not to do it and we can't really can't tell him after we pick him up because he does not know what I am talking about. So what do we do? HELP!!
Everything he finds is food, cat food is his favorite, paper is second and then everything else. We found out what his favorite fruit is, apple, everyday after he gets home he goes to the fridge and gets himself an apple and sit on his chair in the living room. He looks so cute when he does that, and makes me think of how time goes by so fast and before you know it he'll be in college.

Talking about college Jose Graduated last Friday. I just want to say that I very proud of you babe that you finished even through all the obstacles that you went through. I LOVE YOU!

Painting

I painted the living room and dinning room, and it looks good. I am very happy with the colors that I chose. Olive Tree and Warm Sand at first I was going to do sponge painting put it looked HORRIBLE. I almost freaked myself out luckily I was able to paint over it. So I painted opposite walls a different color. Wells it not completely done we ran out of paint for the entrance hall way but that won't take me long to do. I am very excited that the tile is going to be put in this week everything is coming together.

This is what it Sponge painting looked, I did not like it at all.

Feeling Better

I have been feeling better these last couple of days. I don't know what might have changed except that I moved my Dr appointment a week and he gave a RX but I haven't taken it, for the nausea, anyway I guess that I am done with the first trimester. Next month on Dec 15 is my sonogram. I can't wait, I want to see the baby. I don't think I have realized yet that I am pregnant. Maybe when I see him/her I will believe it, even though I have been very sick. Can you believe I lost 7lbs from my last appointment 3 weeks ago. I hope that that is over now.

BABY NAMES:
With Monkey Doodle we had a difficult time finding a name that we could agree on. It was very stressful but we managed on our own. But this time we have decided to ask for help. We ask whoever reads this blog to please give us some ideas of names. Please not anything to complicated we need our Spanish speaking family has to be able t say it too. It could be for either girl or boy since we still have no idea was he/she is.

Quiet time:
It weird not to hear my Monkey Doodle in the morning. I woke up this morning think that he was here but he is at grandmas having a blast. My mom spoils that kid so much it unbelievable. Monkey Doodle has more cloths than me and Jose put together, and let me not go into all the toys he has, I think this is all kids you give them a toy they'll play with it for 2 minutes and then play with the box it came in. Thanks for reading my blabs I have to go a clean. I am having company over today.

BABY #2

Yes, it's true baby #2 is on its way. We have kept to ourselves just because we weren't ready to announce it too soon. Baby #2 is about 15 weeks old and making me very sick. This is nothing like my monkey doodle, he was so easy, and this was exactly what I was afraid of that one pregnancy would be easy and the other would be hell, well not really hell but you know what I mean. Nothing has been helping with the morning sickness,you know what it shouldn't be called morning sickness if it's all day. I can barely eat I have actually been losing weight which is ok in the beginning, but I really hope it ends soon.
We have decided to do some remodeling of the house, which I am VERY excited about, we are taking all the rug out putting tile all downstairs. Which I'm picking out the tile for right now, yes multi-tasking, only we (women) can do that. We are also taking the rug out from upstairs and putting hardwood floors and I am finally going to finish painting the rest of the house. Since we have decided to stay in Florida might as well make this house our Home. Things are moving along great. I'll be updating on the baby and the house and chance that I can get, having a 13 month old can really keep you busy, how I wish I could stay home with him, which is something that we are working on for the near future.
