5Apr-19Apr

SOOOOO.....this is going to be a VERY long entry!! I hope you all can stay and follow along. I will try to make it short and simple, lol.

5Apr:
So 2 days before we head out for our trip to WA. I should of been cleaning the house and packing but of course I was NOT doing any of that, lol. Instead I was scrapbooking and trying to catch up on my sons book. So this is what I did today. I just scrapped my little heart out until my son drove me crazy!!
6Apr:
Well there wasnt much to today really. All I did was get the house ready for when we get back from our trip. I dont like leaving my house unorganized. Everytime we go on a trip I HAVE to do a deep clean to my house so I can come home a relax and not have to worry about cleaning. We got our taxes done FINALLY so is off of our plates and of course I am almost done with the packing. Good thing we leave tomorrow in the afternoon. I am super excited to be going to see my family. Here is our suit case all ready to go!!
7Apr:
Its FINALLY time to fly to WA!! I am so super excited that I cant wait to get outta here. I dont know how many times I circled the house to make sure that I did not forget something. Later on come to find out I did forget something but nothing to big. It was so Beautiful in San Antonio!!! Here we are on the airplane!!
8Apr:
So yesterday our first flight was 15min late which means that we had to run to our next flight, lol. We made the next flight thank goodness! CJ was having problems with the first flight and he just didnt want to go on the second flight, he ended up passing out! So we get in at like oh 9pm in WA and we got to the baggage claim to find out that we DONT HAVE any of our BAGGAGE!! I was so furious about that. Yesterday it cost us $15 each for our 1st checked in bag, omg its just crazy! Anyways so we dont have anything but the clothes on our backs and we had to fill out some paper work and we were suppose to get our baggae at like 2am. They called at like 1am and told me that it will be there after 7am. So 7am came and went and I called then I get oh it will be there sometime after 1pm, lol, nice right? Eventually we get our luggage at 11am so our plans for that day where kind of messed up and we ended up doing something totally different then planned. So instead of going to the falls in OR we went to Snoqualmie Falls and then to Pike Place Market. It was a LONG day! It was litereally NON-STOP. After we got done with Pike Place Market we went to get CJs haircut and then the WHOLE family went out to dinner. SO its going to be very hard to just pick ONE picture, lol. So here is me and my sis Anjie at the Falls. Yes I was EXTREMELY Cold!!
9Apr:
LOL ANother Busy Day for us out in WA!! We spent the day at the Seattle Aquarium and on the Peir. We saw tons of Fish and what not, lol. CJ had fun looking at all of the animals. He was pointing at every little movement that he saw. He did really good there. We went to go eat at Red Robin on the peir and OMG the service was so horrible I could mot believe it! Our waitress could not get our drink order right at all!! It was just so like I dont even know, lol. After we got our food we went to the carousel area and let the kids have fun. It was a long day but not SUPER long. This Picture is of Sarina and Bubba racing Chuck and CJ at the Aquarium!
10 Apr:
It was another FREEZING day for me in the lovely state of WA!! We went to the Point Defiance Zoo with everyone again. It was so much better once you had hot chocolate in your system. We saw the Endangered Red Wolf and we saw Polar bears, Walruses, Seals, Tiger, Otters and Reindeer!! There was so much animals. Its so amazing how many DIFFERENT animals different zoos have. It was nice being able to see these animals a little bit Closer then the ones at the San Antonio Zoo.
11Apr:
This was our Day of REST! We actually didnt do anything at all. We all slept in and relaxed in our PJs like about 4pm lol.It was just so nice to sit at the house and chill and watch CJ just be a crazy boy! I made a basket out a paper and it came out alright lol. Mia stayed the night and I took over her DS and was playing SIMS lol. It was so fun I want a ds just so I can play sims lol. I know I am a dork. Here is CJ all messy right after he ate his Chicken Sandwich!
12Apr:
HAPPY EASTER!!! It was one Rainy Easter for us! I made some Chocolate Crinkles that the whole family LOVED. I told my mom that she was not going to get my recipe, lol, I gave it to her. We had a good Easter day dinner with ham, garlic roasted potatoes, cranberry salad, cupcakes, cookies and I am missing some food but OMG it was ALL soo good. Its making my mouth water Just thinking about it all, lol. So it was raining when we wanted to do the eggs so we had to hide the eggs inside the house which was kind of a hard task to do, lol. Once all the eggs where done we called out the little ones Sarina and CJ. Well Mr. CJ was to busy playing with skates that he didnt notice any of the eggs until we got rid of the skates he was playing with. It was such a wonderful day but rainy and cold!
13Apr:
Time to pack pack and pack everything up! My mom, Chuck, CJ and I snuck off to go have Lunch at Red Robins, lol. While we were at Red Robin as we were leaving it started HAILING!! Chuck rain to get the car and we waited til he brought it out front. CJ started crying because the hail was hitting him! I think we went to Wal-mart like 2 or 3 times that day for some reason, lol. It was just cold and rainy. I got CJ 10 hot wheel cars and my mom bought him a nerf gun. While we were at Wal-Mart we went to the eye center to have my glasses fixed. While waiting we had fun with the glasses! Here is what we did! So he can shoot the nerf gun which is just so hilarious its too cute! We also took my mom, sonia, anjie, bubba out to Black Angus for some dinner. We like to treat my family out to nice places because they dont get to go out to those nice places and plus we LOVE taking our family out!! IT was nice to spend time with them while the enjoyed GOOD STEAK!!!
14 Apr:
Well we left this day and to be honest I dont have any pictures because my camera was packed. I will have to get picture from my mom because I know that she took some. CJ did AWESOME this time back. We flew from Seattle to Houston and the Houston to San Antonio. He slept half of the first flight and did well with all the other time! We didnt have full flights so that was a blessing. The 3rd person on each flight moved for us so we could have room which was so awesome of them to do. It was nice to finally be home. To top it off it was so WARM when we landed I was happy lol. I miss my family though! Love you all!
15Apr:
So ya now my mind is gone, lol. We did absolutely NOTHING today at all. We did not sleep at all the night before. I went to bed at 4am and my husband didnt sleep at all. He had to weight in. I had my doctors appt. but that was about it.
16Apr:
Did do much today either. I did get some scrapping done!! So thats what we did today. We also watched one of the star wars movies later on that day. Ya just trying to get back in the groove of things. The hour change has been kicking our butts. Here is a layout that I did! I did 3 layouts! Sorry it came out side ways for some strange reason!
17Apr:
We went grocery shopping!! So much fun.....NOT!! We spent a ton of money on food BECAUSE we left the fridge empty when we left on our vacation. So since CJ loved the hot wheels track so much we found him a track. Its a cars track thing and he loves that thing. He will play with it for HOURS!!
18Apr:
So this was ANOTHER lazy day for our family! We had a DAYS long of family time. We did I dont remember what in the after noon, but in the evening we had a Star Wars Marathon. Hubby suggested that one and I was just so thrilled, lol. So thats what we did with our evening time. CJ and I kind of passed out on daddy while watching star wars but he understands! It was a great day.
19Apr:
So today we woke up late 11am, lol. We got up and we took CJ to the Park!! He had a good time at the park this afternoon. He even got a pair of NEW shoes. Man his feet are growing SUPER fast. He is in a size 8 infant shoe! I cant believe it!! I did a little bit of scrapping today. We had philly cheese steaks for lunch which were SUPER yummy!! CJ is trying to climb on his daddy chair right now, lol. Our day is going well so far today. Thank you all for reading all the way through if you did make it lol.

30 Mar - 4 April

30 Mar:
So this one day one of not having the little girl. I finished my sisters scarf and I was looking for another crochet project. Well I had found a WONDERFUL pattern and when i went to start on it I realized it was a KNITTING pattern!! I was so UPSET because I really, really wanted to do it but Dont know how to convert a knit pattern to a crochet pattern. I however recieve a nice pattern from a lady off of meetup.com. Its a ripple afghan and its coming along nicely. I am not to sure that I am liking the yarn that I choose for it but hey it will do for the first afghan ever made by me, lol.
31Mar:


We didnt do much today at all really. We actually Slept in and it was so amazingly AWESOME!!!!! We hardly ever sleep in because CJ is generally up early. All we did was just chill like villians and watched tv. I did talk to my mom later on that night. Here is CJ talking to his Grandma about who knows what, lol. He actually babbles on the phone to whoever is on the other line and its TOO freaking CUTE!
April 1:


Today is APRIL FOOLS day!! CJ and I went to Mcdonalds with my friend today. I did play an AWESOME April Fools joke on my husband as well. Anyway back to earlier. CJ and I met up with my friend Stef and her daughter at McDs. Not really my favorite place to eat but oh well we went. CJ saw the play area and imediately went over there and starting having a BLAST playing. So he played and played and then ate lol. So now back to my April Fools prank that I did on my husband. So we play World Of Warcraft and he has a top lvl Warrior. I logged him in took ALL of his money and then I took all of his gear off of his Character. When he got home he about had a heart attack seeing his character like that. I was crying of laughter so bad. Needless to say I was called a A-hole for a while, lol, but it was so worth it to see his expression.
2April:

It was a Windy day here in the big ol San Antonio, Tx area, lol. It was nice hearing the wind. We didnt do anything at all. Here we are outside in the backyard and here is CJ trying to keep his pool from flying all over the yard. This pool was clear across our yard and he walked all the way over to where it was to bring to the back door lol. He was struggling trying to keep it steady lol. That dang wind that was going on he was fighting with it, lol.
3April:
CJ and I decided to head to the park for a little bit! He has a blast!! He was playing in the Big Kids play area lol. He was having so much fun running around. It was a beautiful day to be out and about. We didnt stay to long because I was chasing him ALL over the darn place and I was getting tired. I will say that he did wear himself out and had a very long nap that I enjoyed!!!
4 April:
I got my haircut today. Didnt do anything to crazy. I just got my layers texturized and side bangs. We didnt do much really. I just crafted while CJ drove me up the wall. How could this little boy above drive me crazy? I have no clue but he DOES!! Here he is looking all innocent and sweet. Looks are very concieving, lol.
5April:
We went to the park this Morning. First we got us some lunch and O'Charelys...yummmy cheese stakes!! Then we went to the park. CJ was happy that he was at the park. He had a blast and then it was time to go home, lol. I did get a little crafting done. This is the last page I did before my lovely son got on my nerves, lol. 2 more days till we are in WA!!!

21 Mar - 29 Mar

21 Mar:
CJ is 19 MONTHS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how fast time goes by!!! So today we went to the ZOO for the first time!!! CJ had fun but I think in a few more years he will really enjoy the animals. He saw a lot of animals. It was a perfect day outside. There were a TON of people there though and we park a gazillion miles away! CJ saw a ton of animals and he LOVED the monkeys, lol. He was really not fond of hearing the birds though. Everytime we passed where the birds where he would cover his ears!!
22 Mar:
So Sunday was our relax day. It was not one of our good days. CJ and I had a hard time. In the end of our day I will always love my husband and I appreciate everything he does for me. I dont know what is building up inside of me but I always lash out at my husband when I know he does not deserve it at all. After having a hard time we talked and talked and figured it all out. Always in the end of our day I love my husband more then I did when I wake up and more then the day before.
23Mar:
Oh what a lovely monday! Not much happening during the day. My crochet group on cafemom started a mothers day swap. It is to make crochet flowers. Well the only thing that I have crocheted are scarves! I wanted to challenge myself so I put myself to the challenge to make some flowers! I did get some help from some Lovely Ladies in my crochet groups about my pattern. So my accomplishment was getting my flower done!! Here is what my creation looks like and I am very proud of it!!
24Mar:
Tuesday, Tuesday. Oh what a lovely day! Not much! We just cleaned or tried to clean with 2 kids, lol. There wasnt much going on. I started my sisters scarf for her bday so thats what I did. CJ helped me with cleaning. He has to much energy and very hpyer active!!! Here he is vaccuuming the loft!
25Mar:
Well I had a dr appt this morning. I had the little girl and CJ with me. Good think Chuck got to take the morning off to go with me. The dr told me that I have a skin growth that needs to be surgicaly removed. I have to wait 5-7 days for them to call me and schedule my appt. I am scared about having to have this done but it needs to be done. When we got done with my appt we came back home and relaxed for a little bit. Chuck took a nap and CJ was cuddling with his daddy. It was the cutest thing ever.
26Mar:
So yesterday my poor little baby fell and hit is eye on his bouncer! He cried a little and then was fine and continued to play and run around. He had a rough night and ended up sleeping with us lastnight. When we woke up this morning I was horrified to see his eye!!! OMG it was so ugly looking I was so worried and I felt horrible! I put ice packs on his eye all day and it FINALLY went down!  So my picture of the day is my poor babys eye :(
27Mar:
Chuck had a rough night lastnight. His gallstones where bothering him. He went to the er at 2am and got home at 5:30am. He didnt go to work because of him being in the er all night. CJ had his hearing appt this morning. Chuck did go with us to the appt and I drove because he was sleepy. CJ passed his hearing test! I am not sure what to do about him not learning much for words. I know each child learns how to speak at their own terms and it takes time. I feel like a horrible mom because my son isnt saying enough words. My mom told me not to worry but come on how am I suppose to feel. The dr was the one to suggest that he does speech therapy and it makes me feel like I am not doing a good job at being a mother. I am trying to find ways for my son to learn new words. If anyone has any ideas I am willing to try them out if you are willing to share with me. Anyway back to this, lol. When we got done with the appt we headed home and CJ and Chuck took a nap. CJ was so excited to see his daddy home when he woke up from his nap. Here is CJ trying to wake up daddy. Oh yes I forgot to add that we went to 5 Guys!! Awesome burger joint ever! We finally got one here in San Antonio! On our way home we stopped by a car dealership. They offered us enough for my car. We worked some numbers and it was affordable for us to think about getting a new vehicle.
28Mar:
So today we went back to the dealership to talk more about a new vehicle. Chuck got a 2009 Toyota Tacoma!! He just got the basic model and he is extremely excited about his new truck!! I am glad that we got a new vehicle. I am extremely happy that Chuck loves his new truck! I was suppose to go to a crochet meetup today. Chuck and I had a disagreement on something and it set me in a foul mood. I tried to find my way to this meetup but I could not find it. I was pretty upset about it. I went back home to my family and talked to Chuck. We outside and washed and cleaned out the trail blazer for me. I dont have a picture of the truck yet so I will get a picture once Chuck gets back with the truck.
29Mar:
We woke up and we went out to breakfast. We went to the egg and I i believe thats the name of the place. Its a really good place to eat breakfast. Well when we were packing up into the trail blazer I noticed that the passenger  door was not closed all the way. I opened the door and noticed that my insurance information and some of my pens where all over the passenger seat! I had put the insurance information in the glove compartment and the pens where in the center console. So someone had broke into our car to see if they could get something out of it. This is the second time that it has happened. Good thing we had cleaned out the car the day before. It seemed like they were rushed who ever broke into my car. I was very much bothered with it. I am glad they didnt see my husbands $200 sunglasses in the car. After breakfast we went back home and chuck mowed the lawn. I started to clean out a little in the garage. I become very sad when i came across the clothes that I can no longer fit into. It was very depressing. I am still struggling trying to accept my body the way it is now that I have had a baby. It is hard for me but i am trying to deal with it. I got rid of the clothes in the garage and a few other things. It didnt make a dent but it was a little bit of something. I did finish my sisters  scarf and it came out so pretty!

Oh how I love Fridays! I dont have to watch the little girl and CJ and I get our time to do what we want. SO its always a BEAUTIFUL friday, lol. Chuck got off of work early and I was going to go shopping by myself BUT CJ woke up from his nap so I took him with me. We went to the bank that is clear across town and then we met up with my friend Stephanie and we went shopping. I really wasnt in the mood to go shopping but We went anyways, lol. The Scrap Shack on Cafemom was celebrating our 1 year birthday this weekend so it was a scrappy day for me. CJ wanted to be dressed like me so we wore our Colts Jerseys lol.
SO here we are Matching!
7Mar:
Well this was another Me day. I TRIED to scrap all day but ya this SLUMP is and was not making it happen. I did accomplish something though and it came out great BUT it did not motivate me to go any further. So my picture of the day is.....drum rolll.............its an altered cookie sheet calendar. I loved the way it came out! Oh ya it was also my sisters 23rd bday too. AHH She is getting to old but what does that make me? Just getting older, lol.

CJ wasnt doing to hot sunday night. He woke up from like a Horrible dream and slept with his like in the middle of the night, it was just so weird. Then when Chuck got up to get ready for work CJ just would not fall back asleep so Chuck was having CJ get ready for work, lol. He eventually fell back asleep but he just was not in any mood. So we got up and I took him a bath!! He LOVES taking a bath! So here he is splish splashing in the tub!

Our evening are very interesting at times. CJ always does some crazy things when its close to bed time! This evening we watched a movie and CJ wanted all eyes on him. He grabbed his spider man slippers for me to put on then he wanted me to take one off. So of course I take one off and he still is walking around with one still one. Now he wants to wear Daddys shoes so he puts on daddys shoes. Yes he put them on with one slipper on and one slipper off, lol. Here he is bring me the other shoe to put on him!
11Mar:
Not much happens during the day. Of course all we do is just stay home. Its to hard to try and travel with two kids when you are not even prepared to have things to travel with two kids, if that makes any sense at all. So we just chill at home and what not. This is a picture of CJ just relaxing and eating his food. He is a character! I love him so much!!
12Mar:
It was a rough day for CJ and I. His teeth were killing him. He has all FOUR eye teeth coming in all at the SAME TIME!! Some days you would not know that he was teething and others its seriously hell here. I feel so sorry that he has to go through this and I honestly wish I could take the pain from him. He is a BIG TROOPER when it comes to teething. So my picture is the teething tablets that are heaven for him.
13Mar:

We went to Incredible Pizza, its like pizza buffet and has a indoor go cart track and tons of games. It was pretty cool. So after we left that we went to the book store and got me some of the Anita Blake book series. We headed home to see what was wrong with my computer. We come home to find out that there was a TROJAN VIrus on my computer. SO NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! So here we go to best buy to get me a computer :( I got a new computer and I love it! So my picture will be of my new computer. I will take it later and down load it!

Sounded like fun to me and I was kind of wanting to get out of the house but not spend money lol. what better way then to hang with friends and have a Cook out, right? SO we went and had a ton of fun. CJ was loving their dogs. Here is CJ; he took like a 10min nap, from our house to theirs, lol.
15Mar:
I thought I would be a WONDERFUL mommy and wifey this day so I got up and made some breakfast, lol. Chuck was suppose to help me clean on Saturday but ya other plans came around that sounded more fun. So I just had chuck take cj upstairs and keep him out of my way so I could deep clean the house. CJ and Chuck came downstairs to visit me for a minute. I had forgot to put the bread away and CJ made himself a Wish Sandwich. He was loving that up! He was happy and just eating bread. So that was my picture. CJ with his wish sandwich.

But it is still cute for blurriness!
18Mar:
So CJ has this bear its called Bruin Bear and OMG he loves that thing. Grandma and Grandpa Jones got it for him for xmas. Well this bear talks(moves his mouth) and he SINGS!! CJs favorite thing recently is to have that dang bear sing and he sings and dances along with it! Its the cutest thing EVER except when the dang bear doesnt go to a song and he freaks out and has a fit :(. So here he is dancing!
19 Mar:
So when chuck and I are playing WoW CJ likes to sit on my lap and kill bad guys with me, lol. Along with playing with me he also likes to mess with EVERYTHING in his reach!! Normal for a kid his age, lol. I like to pick on my son, so of course thats what I did. I put a hair tie in his hair. He needs a haircut. Here is CJ sporting his hair tie, lol!

1 Mar - 5 Mar

1 Mar:

Can you believe that its 1 Mar? Oh how the time flies by so quickly! Not much happened today. We stood at home and did absolutely nothing. We went grocery shopping and you can say that was the highlight of the day, lol.




CJ was having fun playing with his aunties scarf that I made her. Here he is posing with it. He had a blast playing with it. I had to take it away before he ruined it or got it messy lol.




2 Mar:



What a glorious monday it was, lol. Chuck has class all this week so I get to see him off to his day of class. The kids where alright not to much fussing that heaven!! CJ was in a good mood most of the day. Chuck got off early and we got to spend some time. My son is seeming to be less and less of a mamas boy :( When he hears his dad come home from work he yells "DaaaaaaDaaaaaaa!" until chuck gets upstairs, its super cute!





Here they are trying to make me jealous! It was working too I must admit! They were having daddy and son time.

3 Mar:



The kids where not in a good mood today! I must say though they did take a long nap for me so I had time to collect myself and relax for a min. There wasnt really anything exciting going on really. I am addicted to the Sookie Stackhouse series and when i get a chance thats what I am doing!!













So here my hubby caught me off gaurd completely ingrossed in my book! If you like vampire romance kind of books this is a really good series. I really enjoy it. True Blue on HBO is based off of these books so if you like that show you should read the Books!!







4 Mar:







Not much to report today. I know my life is just so much fun, NOT!! It's completely boring but I love it! I watch a little girl and I have my son and we are at home, what more could you ask for? Of course there are those days that the kids are trying to push every button they can! But thats when nap time comes into place so I can breathe and relax. I actually did a work out during their nap times because I dont know what wild hair crawled up in me lol. So I decided I need to stop being lazy and actually do something with myself. I am not going to be losing weight if I dont do anything, right? Well I did like 15min of pilates, 30 crunches and 10 push ups.





Chuck got out of class early today. So here are my boys being silly. CJ was being a total daddys boy, lol. Here they are sticking their tongues out and being very silly like always. Its just so amazing seeing the bond between the two of them. I love it!!



5 Mar:



Well today felt like it flew!! LOL! Steph came over and hung out with me. Chuck got out of class early! We just finished CJs eval interview thing. It was interesting. It was a good day.

This is what my house looked like today, lol. 3 Kids, hubby playing his game and the moms chatting and watching the kids play. I had a good day today. It was nice having someone over just to chill with!
