An Early Easter Egg Hunt....

We went to an Eater Egg Hunt last Saturday in Dumfries. It was totally cute! Not only did they have the egg hunt but they also had face painting, there were baby animals there to pet, the bunny was there for free pictures and there was a raffle in the end. It was a fun day! Erika got so many eggs. Here are some pics that we took.

What every mom of two should have...

I am getting too excited just typing this right now. I have never owned a stroller that I am so extremely happy about until I bought this one: The Baby Trend Sit and Stand Plus with parent tray.

(By the way, this isn't the cutest one they have. They have a couple of different colors. The one I have is red.)






Why? I'll tell you:

1. This is the most versatile sit and stand stroller.

2. It can be used as a double tandem stroller that accommodates most infant car seats.

3. You can remove the rear seat to make a standard Sit-n-Stand stroller with the bench seat and standing platform.

4. Your younger child can sit in front while the older can sit or stand in the rear.

5. It folds SOOOO fast and EASY!

6. It is not too heavy.

7. The front seat reclines.

8. It steers very very easily.

9. It has a basket underneath for storage

10. Love the parent cup holder too!

I am soooo glad I bought this stroller. It made my life easier with Erika and Nathan when Im out and about! SO if you're thinking of buying one, you might wanna consider this one!

My little man...

Eight months?!? Are you freaking kidding me??! My baby is not so baby anymore. He is getting to be a big boy now. He can now sit up, crawl (well more like dragging himself around), eat baby food, hold his own bottle, sleep through the night and play with Erika!!! I cannot believe it! What a difference from a couple months ago!




Please don't grow up too fast Nate! You can take your time with everything. I would not mind at all!!!

My Big Day

After almost three years, I finally got my braces off! Wooo Hooo!!!! It feels so weird but at the same time I am sooo happy that they are gone. I have been looking forward to this day since the day they put them on. I looked kinda funny after they took them off. But few days later, I look normal again. Like I don't have false teeth anymore. It needs some getting used to when I look in the mirror. Nathan looked at me funny when I smiled at him when I came home from my orthodontist. Erika didn't care. And Jon was happy for me of course.

The best part about this is that I can brush and FLOSS easily!!! I know, it's a silly thing but I didn't realize how much I appreciate being able to floss until I had my braces. It was a pain in the butt.. NOW it sooo easy!

The retainer is another issue though! HA! I'll take it over braces anytime! At least I don't have to wear them 24/7. AND I can take them off whenever I want to! (Well it's more like I have to so I can eat) I would say that it is worth every penny!

It's about time!

Man, where have I gone?!? My last posting was January! Now I have to fill you all up with what has happened since then. (Pasensya sa mga taga sa amin ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng oras eh) We have a big change here... In the middle of January, Jon was offered a new job with a new company. YES! It was very exciting yet scary. He has been in his company for almost six years. So needless to say, he has invested time and relationship with his co-workers. So, change seems to be really hard. It took Jon a little over a month to decide whether he should stay with his company or move on, take the opportunity and go for the change. And after a lot of thinking and researching and talking to people, he did decide to go ahead and go for this new opportunity that was given to him. And that it is a time for a change!

He is now working for MDI Security Systems as a Field Engineer. He started his new job yesterday. He still works the same hours and at the same place for now. But soon it will change. I would love if he can still work from 6-3 but I guess that is part of the change. If they need him to work a different schedule then what can we do right? Hopefully there would be no conflicts with his school schedule. Now THAT would be a problem! Anyway, Jon is happy with his decision and I will always be beside him to support him.

The last month and a half was very stressful I tell you! Im glad it's over. :-)

Just a little too young...

I have been rereading my twilight books lately and when I saw this, it put a smile on my face...



I don't blame her. They're great! She's just a little too young for them right now...

Nathan @ 6 Months

Here is Nathan @ 6 months old. He is a whopping 17 lbs. We are going to move him to a convertible car seat soon. We didn't have this problem with Erika until she was a year old. My daughter is so light and tiny. Do you wanna know how heavier Erika is than Nathan?....

4lbs! Yes, people! Only 4 lbs. They even wear the same size diapers... Which is good in a way because I only buy one size diapers for them... But I don't know how long that is going to last.

Here are some of his cute pics, enjoy!



His favorite part of the day, bath time...


Posing for the camera before bedtime


Patiently waiting for his dinner


What a big smile...


Yummy carrots...


Can I have some more?
