Twins Park & play

I had a great day watching the twins. They have grown so much it's amazing to hear their little voices talk non-stop =)


They must have chased 50 ducks and a dozen squirrels, played on the playground and came home for a snack and some juice. Jayden met the twins for the first time. It was so cute to see our active busy body 6 mo old dazed in awe of the girls. He tried climbing all over them but was very nice in sharing his toys. I took the girls back to EG in the afternoon and they were passed out before I got to the gas station.


When I came home Jayden just woke up from his nap. Shoot, mommy was really hoping for a nap. Not long after Dj took a nap, Jayden went down, and then I took a nap too. =) We cleaned house, ate dinner, gave Jayden a bath, played and put him to bed. It's so nice once you put your baby asleep for the night and you get to relax. He slept 12hrs straight last night let's see if we get lucky tonight.
Good night!

FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

I am so excited! We are going to Apple Hill with Jayden for the 1st time and taking his 6 mo pics and our 1st family pics at the spot where we got married!
Mom, Dad, Ryan, Dj, Jayden & I and maybe Julianna are going! =)
Pictures soon to follow tomorrow!

Transforming Thoughts

Chapter 3 Transforming Thoughts " First comes thought; then organization of that thought into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination"

Life Lesson #1 Don't take it personally - "Attitude is the reflection of a person, and our world mirros our attitude"

Lesson #2 Where thought goes, energy flows - "Have the daring to accept yourself as a bundle of possibilites and undetake te game of making the most of your best.

Lesson #3 Seeing the glass Half- Full - " To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have"

Lesson #4 Letting go to let it flow - " Money is neither my God nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving"

Lesson #5 Empower yourself for success - "What you become is far more important that what you get. What you get will be influenced by what you become"

Brilliant Ideas lead to....

So this afternoon, I was cleaning house and picked up a book in my nightstand that I had started two years ago called Life Lessons for Mastering the Law of Attraction.

I started the book to reiterate what I was already practicing, which was "the powers of positive thinking", something that I always thought I was pretty good at but wanted to learn some more tools to master this way of thinking. It's a Chicken soup for the soul and is really easy to read. I'm almost half way through, and after picking up the book again today I thought that it would be a positive blogging option.

The 7 essential ingredients for living a prosperous life is how this book is divided. With this book you begin a journal, which is of course optional, yet in order to really do the work there are some exercises that you can choose to participate in.

7 sections are broken down into the following and include 5 life lessons:

So far I have completed...

Chapter 1 - Here's how it work- "All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth"

Life Lesson #1 Let your passion be your guide- "We do not know who we are until we see what we can do"

Lesson #2 What you think and what you feel- "What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity."

Lesson #3 Releasing the "How" so the dream can unfold- "When the truly great people discover they have been deceived by the signposts along the road life, they just shift gears and keep going"

Lesson #4 The Power of your state of mind- "Abundance is not something we acquire, it is something we tune into"

Lesson #5 The Power of intention, not attachment- Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance"

In this chapter I learned a LOT about where exactly my state of mind is, where I react vs. respond and how to get from where I am currently to where I want to be. Reading these lessons and little short stories helped me figure out where I was at that moment. Like I stated before, I started this book in 2008. Where I was 2 years ago is COMPLETELY different from where I am now. Not just because I'm married and had a baby but mentally, emotionally, educational, everything about me feels different. Of course, it's not all because I started reading this book but I definitely feel that I've learned from it.

Chapter 2 - Defining Moments - "I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed"

Life Lesson #1 You're never stuck! - "Burnout doesn't occur because we're solving problems; it occurs because we've been trying to solve the same problems over and over.The problem named is the problem solved, Identify and confront the real problems in your path.

Lesson #2 Breakthroughs don't have to be hard - "At any moment, I could start being a better person...But which moment should I choose?"

Lesson #3 Where you currently stand is perfect - "We do not see things as they are; we see them as we are"

Lesson #4 You are always at choice - "You always do what your want to do, this is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that your were forced to, but actually whatever you do, you do it by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself"

Lesson# 5 Call in your team - " Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success"

Talk about a smack in the face! I was currently, extremely struggling at work with new obstacles in my path that I have never ever had to face. It wasn't necessarily the people individually that I was struggling with, yet at that time I didn't know this. I would have so much anger and confusion towards them not knowing why they were acting or speaking the way they were to me or even of me for that matter. It took a looooooong full year to realize that we all started off on the wrong foot. Relationships were already damaged, yet I was determined to make them better. I CHOSE to do everything in my power to help them and grow individually regardless of the outcome I knew I wanted to get past this. Putting on a different set of glasses helped me take the baby steps to get there, I have no hard feelings for them, as I know it was probably just as frustrating for them as it was for me. There were times when I felt like I was thrown under the bus and lies were flying left and right, today I still feel that that was the way it was, but I am not going backwards. I have no angry feelings with past statements, I've forgiven and moved on. That is what I choose to do daily. Forgive and move on. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff I've stated this since the passing of my beloved Uncle Jerry. Can you imagine what life would be life if all you did was worry? Or became hung up on everyone's conversations and lives that you cease to live your own? How fullfilling would a life like that be? Can't even imagine, I for one have never, will never allow myself to even slightly think like that. I've been blessed and I am going to count them and enjoy living them!

Interesting quote from a friend

"If you try and try to get something or someone and fail then you can go though life knowing you tried..if you give up you automatically fail and you will never know if the thing or person you want could have been yours."

We've all been there before, made me ponder some thoughts. In general, going through life you have to TRY for everything you want. IF you don't, you are left with always wondering what if.....

I guess in some ways I played my life safe, yet again I am satisfied and happy in every aspect, so who's to say I didn't take certain risks. I did. Maybe there is a reason I didn't go down that road...take that turn, head that direction. Maybe it was fate, whatever it is/was it's all in His hands.

Pondering thoughts

I have to say, even though I am currently struggling with weight loss and it bugging the hell out of me I can't help but be absolutely 100% happy, regardless of what the scale might be punching me in the face with.
Jayden is the light of my life, Dj is an amazing husband & daddy and I can't believe I have made it to my happily ever after.
There are so many things to look forward to this year. Let me tell you what it is that keeps me smiling.
Tess is coming into town this weekend

Roseanna is coming into town next weekend

Brieanna & the girls the following weekend

Julianna will possible be home by the end of the month until November!

Next month is our FIRST wedding anniversary and Jayden will be 6mo. I think this calls for a photo op don't you? =)

Between Sept or Oct Traditional Apple Hill trip (where we got married) and now Jayden gets to go! =)

October is his FIRST Halloween! I think I might dress him up as a little chipmunk since I called him my chunk a munk when I first laid eyes on him. LOL. Or maybe Winnie the Pooh....not sure all I know is I can't buy a costume until the month if cause this boy is growing so fast!

Noevember is his FIRST Thanksgiving...my parents 30 year wedding anniversary!

December his FIRST Christmas! We might take a trip to Tahoe with Dj's parents and brother and stay in a Cabin for a few nights. That would be fun...FIRST time in the snow!

First New Years Eve? LOL ya right he'll be asleep. =)

Valentine's Day?....eh for him....but Dj proposed on Valentine's Day 6 yrs ago =)

THEN HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!!! It'll go that fast!! I can't believe how fast it's already gone. And with all of the above we are hoping to relocate to Elk Grove before Christmas!!!!!! =)

Ok listing all of that made me feel better again. =)

Gotta count your blessings sometimes and even though "It's pouring" with the stress of some items....it definitely does NOT outweigh my blessings!!!

Vent

I am so beyond irratated. I'm tired granted... but that still doesn't stop me from being annoyed. Why the fuck do people just not respond to text messages? It annoys the hell out of me. So you call some people, and they say let me call you back, but they never do. It seriously makes me just want to shut my phone off and say to hell with it all. I'll stop texting and calling and problem solved.
I felt so good yesterday with all that I accomplished I cleaned the WHOLE damn house! Not one sq ft was untouched. All I have left is the garage Dj & I are going to tackle that tomorrow morning taking turns. Today was nice also, went to lunch with my mom and Aunts. My mom took Jayden home with her and Dj and I loaded up the Jeep with the stuff for the yard sale dropped it off at my cousins & then went grocery shopping. I was going to take a nap but didn't. Maybe I should of, damn I'm cranky. PLUS dealing with Jayden's fussy butt for a whole week takes a toll on you. He's better but still worse at night and not sleeping very well.
I'm hungry now but it's already 9! Too late for dinner I'm not eating til morning.
"watch it burn"....

LOVE LIKE CRAZY!!!

They called him crazy when they started out
Said seventeen's too young to know what loves about
They've been together fifty-eight years now
That’s crazy

He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week
He bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed
Yeah that’s crazy

Just ask him how he did it; he'll say pull up a seat
It'll only take a minute, to tell you everything
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy

They called him crazy when he quit his job
Said them home computers, boy they'll never take off
He sold his one man shop to Microsoft
They paid like crazy

Just ask him how he made it
He'll tell you faith and sweat
And the heart of a faithful woman,
Who never let him forget

Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin knees get lazy
And love like crazy

Always treat your woman like a lady
Never get too old to call her baby
Never let your prayin knees get lazy
And love like crazy

They called him crazy when they started out
They've been together fifty-eight years now

Ain't that crazy?

Incomplete

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I'd try to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I'd try to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Dreading going back to work

I really really really really wish I could stay home with my baby until at least Kindergarten. LOL. Get real? Ok the 1st year? I'm so so so sad about having to get back into the grind I just don't want to leave my baby! It seriously makes me want to cry. I love him so much. How do working moms do it? And all you stay at home moms are SO FREAKING LUCKY YOU HAVE NO CLUE! Man I wish I could be a stay at home mommy. ugh. Oh well, it is what it is.

On another sad note, my FAVORITE down comforter that I have had for 10yrs now has a tear! I have no idea how that even happened! Therefore, I'm blaming it on my cats. lol. Seriously, a tear like an "L" shape, how in the world?? Not like my toe poked a hole.

Bright side? Tomorrow's date night at the IMAX theater Toy Story 3 in 3D! WAHOO!

Tid bits

I got a new phone, HTC HD2!! I am loving it!! Gotta figure everything out again but mainly got it so I can take better pictures and VIDEO of Jayden!! =)

Father's Day is coming up and I can't wait to give Dj his present! hehe. It's a very thoughtful gift and he better like it! LOL

Going to see Mindi this weekend! YAY Another roadtrip!

Date night on Saturday! Toy Story 3 at the IMAX in 3D YAY

Tomorrow is Friday!! TGIF!!!

Troubled Heart

I don't know why (kinda do) but I've been a little sad on the friend front. I love my life and it's definitely has a perfect view, yet I find myself lonely. Being home with Jayden has been the best experience ever and I wouldn't trade it for the world, yet I don't have many girlfriends to call up and go hang out with. Yes, I just went out on a date with an old friend, but that hasn't happened in a looooong time. I can't even remember the last time we hung out.

My best friend lives in San Diego, and my other two good friends are also in San Diego and Palmdale.

Brieanna has her cousin visiting so I don't want to bother her with calling her like I have been for the past several weeks. It's almost a ritual & routine we created by texting each other good morning when we wake up. Sharing a cup of coffee over the phone, calling each other later in the morning/afternoon as I listen to the twins babble and talk like big girls (they're 2). Then again in the late afternoon/evening and saying goodnight before we go to bed. I miss that, not only because it kept me company but because I miss her so much. I want to talk to her but I also feel like I have nothing to say other than the news of Jayden. So with her cousin visiting for 3 weeks I don't call. I try not to text, knowing she is busy doing her own thing. I'll be going back to work soon and I'm sure I will speak to her less as well. God I don't want to go back to work.

Roseanna works nights and has a different schedule, I'm used to not talking to her frequently it's kind of the norm when she moves away although we speak sparatically we pick up right where we left off when she left, and I'm ok with that.

Julianna and I keep in touch from time to time even when she was still downtown. We just have our own lives. We both enjoy spending our time as we prefer to. Which she was the bar type and I'm over that scene. I know she was more homebound when she still lived here yet I didn't take the opportunity when it was available. She's much more social and I, we enjoy the same things yet I'm always second guessing the concert in the park, time at the river, brewfest type of things (even though I enjoy myself when I go I have kind have grooved myself into more low key events).

Not to mention my lil sis Tess being in Washington, boo!

I love them all very much, it sucks having my first baby and not being able to share him with my best friends.

I miss them all very much.

Girls night out

I went out on a date with Angelica this afternoon. We went to On the Border for some margaritas and then to see Sex in the City 2. It was good despite the reviews I had been hearing, and yes it was long (3hrs)! Had a great time.
It was Dj's first time being home alone with Jayden. He did great, I knew he would. I didn't have any doubts, he is a great daddy. Gave him a bath, bottle and to bed (but didn't stay asleep), I was ok with that because I wanted to see my lil guy. He slept ALL day! He slept from 1030 until 430! Growth spurt?
Needless to say we all had a great day!

Mommy time

I got to hang out with my mom last night it was really nice to see her, it's been over a week. It's rare that we don't see each other at least once a week. But she's has had a CRAZY time a work lately. Crazy patients acting stupid, and she's gotta deal with it being the manager and all. blah. no fun.
I laid Jayden down for a nap on my old bed in my old room it was kinda funny how I stared at him and thought back to when I was living in that room 4 yrs ago since I was 10. I remember the carpet was dark brown when we moved in and all I had with me that wasn't packed was my babysitter's club books. My room is basically a square with an L shape added to it & there was this little cove that I went to when I claimed "my room" spreading out the 5 books I carried in my hand. So funny the things you remember growing up.
Anyway, I took the opportunity to go get a pedicure, finally!! Felt soooooo good. =) When I came back my mom and I were sitting on the couch saying, "I hope Jayden wakes up soon it would be nice to go out to dinner" and right on que he woke up! lol. YAY. Fed him and changed him and off we went to on the border! YUMMMMMMM!! Love that place, I think I have a new fav (old one was chevy's). Their menu is so big, they have so many yummy sounding options. lol.
Dinner was nice, my dad showed up too and then we came home and took a stroll around the block. Being that it was already a quarter to 9 we didn't go far and I came home and fed him changed him again and hit the road. =) He fell asleep in the car, I brought him straight into his room and tried transfering from carseat to crib with no success. He was up until 1045, fell asleep hard on Dj, he rocked him it was so cute I wanted to take a picture but I knew I'd wake him up with the flash (it was dark).
Dj and I got some alone time.... =) he went to bed at 9 but i woke him up when i came home at 10 not on purpose just with jayden not goin down...he helped and we went to bed. he slept til 245 i took 1st shift and then he woke up at 645 (!) and dj took 2nd shift. I tried sleeping in but i heard him crying a little bit (prob changing his diaper when he wanted to eat) then it got hot real fast in our room. i did wake up at 10 but it was WARM already!!! geez. we need a pool, maybe our next house?
we are thinking about moving to elk grove this fall....we'll see what's in store closer to. our lease is up in aug so we'll see. hard to believe we will have been here a year already in aug!!

Pondering thoughts

Well, after an AMAZING weekend Jayden definitely had an OFF day on Tuesday. He was awake 530am-12! Sheesh that boy wouldn't go down. I'm still hesitant in allowing the crying out method so young. He's only 2 1/2 mo old. His doctor said he's the boss on when he wants to sleep until 4mo. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I shouldn't try harder to get him down when he's fighting it, I know he needs it. Anyway, I went over to my cousin's to get some assistance so I could run a few important errands (rent due) and she seems to have a magic shoulder. Jayden was with him 20 min and passed out (thats after he finally took a 3hr nap before we arrived). I went to rite aid, the bank & the grocery store. Came back and unloaded my groceries then went and picked up my lil chunk.
Today he had a great day! I started getting a lil apprehensive when it was 10am and he had been up since 6 fearing another repeat of yesterday. But I put him in his crib before he was OVER tired and decided to try and let him work it out. He wasn't mad, he cried for 2min flat and was OUT. I'm thinking dang why didn't I try that yesterday? Oh wait, I did and he SCREAMED! Couldn't allow that so I didn't continue. He took a nap today from 10-1:30 and 3-5 and went to bed at 9. =)
Dj came home in the best timing because I was trying to juggle preparing dinner & BBQ with bath, bottle and bed. I got to the bottle part and he walked in the door, I said perfect you feed him cause the grill has been ready for almost an hr now! haha. He fed him and was going down, I guess jayden did something funny cause dj laughed (Trying not to and made even more of a noise) and woke him up! lol. butthead!
So we went for a walk. =) We finally met our across the street neighbors, Jason & Katie(that now have a for rent sign in their front yard), they have a 5mo old girl, I didn't catch her name. We talked for a few, very nice couple and was disappointed that they were leaving. Jason's job is moving them to Michigan next week! He's a pediatrican in residency and she's a pediatric nurse. haha. They we're really nice and I wish they were staying.....made me think that Dj and I should find more couples with babies to hang out with....we have no couple friends....just "his and hers", which is fine, it would just be nice to have a common "interest" =)
I'm debating whether to open up the house or not...it's been so warm but I think it's cooled off now.... man I hate summer. =( I'm not a fan of the heat. Spring and fall are my FAV.
Should I...or should I not go to bed...not too tired. Wish our computer worked better (it's slow cause it recognizes that we don't have genuine windows 7 so its so slooooow), I could try and fix my pics. It's too much of a hassle trying to save my pics from facebook to my work laptop and then reposting them on the blog. ah well.
Tomorrow is Thursday, yipee.......fast week!

Sunday i'm going out with an old friend to lunch and a movie,.we're going to see Sex in the City 2, despite what reviews i've heard about it I still wanna see it. =) It will be Dj's first time alone with Jayden (for more than 30 min like a trip to the store). He's ready. =)......I think...haha jk

BEST Memorial Day Weekend EVER!

I have had such an AMAZING weekend, I'm so HAPPY!

Date night with Dj, baby free for 24hrs.

Short but sweet visit with Brieanna, she was in town just for a day.

Took our FIRST road trip with Jayden to Mountain View to visit my sister in-law Mindi. Had a delicious BBQ & relaxed! AND JAYDEN--this boy--LAUGHED like I never heard before!! Totally literally belly laughing out loud, I laugh every time I hear it. (Check out my family blog for video)

A memorial (recreated Rj's) BBQ with just Dj and I and had wonderful family time just the three of us.

Jayden and I took our first mommy and son bath together and he LOVED it!! He was kicking and smiling, trying to reach his little rubber ducky I had in the tub with us. He's gonna be a little fish like mommy! No pics for that memory haha.

Incredible weekend, I can't get over how much non-stop fun we had!

Happy Memorial Day!

Date Night

We had another date night last night (more like 24hrs!) and had soooooo much fun!

Jayden spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa Wolf's house and we had a GREAT TIME!

First, I try and go get a pedi and the lady tells me, "no, sowwy, no buddy here. I do her nails (she had a customer in front of her)." I ask her, "can I wait until your done?" "i have do her first..." I'm like ok whatever. damn it. I really wanted one. Dj had dropped me off and went around the corner to visit his friend Matt. I ask if her was home and ended up just walking around the corner to his house. We hang out for awhile and visit.
Then we go to Toys' R Us and do some DAMAGE! LOL. Well, we did get a case of diapers (228ct), gripe water, candy (for the movies), mylicon, a high chair cover, swim trunks for jayden (so cute), a 4th of july outfit and another lil cute frog outfit.
We were in the parking lot of Roger's Jewelers and decided to get out rings (and my earrings) cleaned. However, we discovered that my warranty had expired (it's already been over 5yrs!!). So I renew it, $100 dollars later....we're off.
Fill up at Chevron.
Go to Target and exchange the 3 pkgs of diapers (he's in size 2's now!) for formula. First time we are buying diapers since he's been born! All the diapers that we received at my baby showers lasted us 2 months!! So now we have 2 cases of diapers & still 1/2 a case of wipes. We're in good shape.
Then we go to Osaka Sushi. OUR FAVORITE. YUMMMMMMMMY!!
Walk over to United Artist and catch an 8 o'clock showing of Shrek Forever After in 3D. It was awesome!! We're loving the movie and keep looking at each other thinking we miss Jayden (it went along with the movie message). We keep mimicking Jayden's cooing with each other. He says,"aaaaaa-ooooo" So cute! Funny how you can't wait for a break then all you do is talk about you kid. lol.
Home bound, we come home and Dj instantly CRASHES (10:40). Me on the other hand am WIDE awake tryin to post some pics to my previous blogs, havin difficulty. Call it quits at 1:30 and last time I looked at the clock was 1:45! ugh.

I wake up at 10 (least I got 8 hrs) and Dj woke up at 9 (he got 10hrs, poor guy needed a recharge). I make some coffee...take some motrin my back was killin me and we go out to breakfast at IHOP. YUM!! I'm diggin pancakes lately. =) Dj got some blueberry pancakes that had creamcheese filling, yuck, they were so sweet it was crazy, he loved it.
Then we go to Natomas to go to Tilly's to return one of the shirts I bought him for his birthday. He uses the store credit and ends up getting 3 more shirts.
Then we walk across the way to Journey's to look at shoes. Dj is so damn picky about his shoes, that's why I could never pick them out for him. I'd choose them and he'd be unsure until he sees ALL options. LOL. He ends up getting a nice white pair of DC's with blue and black logo, they're nice. I try on a pair of converse shoes and love them! They are white with black and pink writing on it that says, "he loves me, he loves me not <3" and got a free pair of flip flops for spending $50 lol. score.
Then we go to AAA and update my policy (finally!) to my new name and add him on my policy. Wahooo.
We come home and relax, Jayden went with my mom to visit Great Great Aunt Helen (unfortunately he was being a lil booger at her house). Dj and I finally watch Avatar (we bought it a week ago). It was a WEIRD movie. I kept asking him what is this rated? There's cursing and killing! Thought it was more of a kid movie but guess not! He loved it, it was alright to me.
Tried to take a nap but no luck so I head over to my mom's around 5 to see my baby that I miss so much! It's been 24hrs since I've seen him!! He's asleep lookin so cute with his legs tucked in layin on his tummy in MY OLD ROOM ON MY OLD BED! So weird to grow up in that house since I was 10yrs old and now my baby is sleeping in there. =) He sleeps until 7, I feed him & change him and then we go over to Brie's Aunt Patty's house to visit. She's in town to pick up Cassie (her cousin who's going to visit for 3 wks) and is leavin tomorrow. I'm tempted to leave Jayden with Cassie and Aunt Patty but just decide to get him home for bed (plus I didn't have any formula with me and I ALWAYS DO!). So the girls went out and I came home with my lil precious, fed him and he's OUT! Put him in his crib and has been down since 9:30.
Dj is out hanging with the boys. I'm glad he could get some guy time, he deserves it.
And here I am, loungin on the couch, watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air crackin up & updatin my blog. =)

Tomorrow we are going to Mountain View to visit my sister in-law, Jayden's FIRST road trip! Wish us luck!

Monday we're having a Memorial Day BBQ!

This weekend has been that best!!! =)

Night Owl

I don't think I've been up this late in awhile. I onced stayed up til midnight, but then quickly realized that I love my sleep too much. One thing I TRULY miss pre-baby is SLEEP!!! Man, sleeping in?! When will I ever be able to truly do that again?
Anyway, I'm sitting here on my couch, watchin Oprah, phone is dyin and my feet are freezing. I'm starting to get a little sleepy. Why is it so dang hard to wake up in the morning even when I get 8hrs?! Maybe I just need to bank some hours of zzzz and I'd be good....dunno when that's gonna happen.
Thinking a lot lately...sometimes I think maybe this blog should be private? In order to truly express ALL my thoughts? Not that I have anything to hide, but with possible readers you don't want to offend anyone. Then again, to hell with it it's how I feel right? hmmmm.... whatever. =) No biggie.
I'LL DO WHAT I WANT! haha

KLUTZ

So last night I go to take a shower after putting Jayden to bed. I accidently knock over the face wash, BAM! Opps, dang don't wanna wake up the baby! Then 5 min later I knock the big conditioner bottle off the top of shower door, BAM! Dang it! I get out of the shower and Dj informs me that he had to pat Jayden's back because I woke him up! LOL opps!
THEN I go into the kitchen to wash all the baby bottles to get ready for the night (I wash them all (4) and pre fill them with 4oz of water so we can quickly zap the water and make the bottles in the middle of the night). I go to put one of them on the counter and drop it, clink, clink, clink, clink it goes across the kitchen floor. I hear some comments from the peanut gallery (Dj on the couch) and laugh at myself. Still having a towel on my head, I decide to get myself a little ice cream before I go to bed. I open the freezer door and BAM, out falls the kit kat in the door! UGH! Dj comes in the kitchen and says, "seriously christy? go sit down! lol"
Needless to say I was knocking and dropping things over left and right.

HAHA- hopefully today will go more smoothly that last night!

Happy Bleepin Monday

Blah, it's Monday. I went to bed at 11 last night and Dj was snoooooooring. So Instead of kicking him to stop I decided to sleep in Jayden's room. However, I layed there thinking that I haven't slept in his room since he was 3-4 weeks old! Awwww time flys. He used to sleep in his swing next to the daybed in his room. I finally fell asleep probably at 1130. He woke up at 1, 3(changed his diaper), 420 and then 530 Dj took over. He was squirming in his crib I told Dj he just ate he doesn't need a bottle. Two minutes later he puked in his crib. Poor baby I don't think he's tummy feels good.

How do you determine whether it's spit up or throw up at 2mo old? =( I need to call his Dr today.

I went into our room and crawled into bed until 8 when Dj had to go to work. He laid Jayden down on our bed and he started falling asleep so I picked him up and put him in his own crib, he's been sleeping an hour and 20 min already. Sleepy head. I tried to go back to sleep and of course I couldn't my next door neighbor is doing construction or some landscaping to his backyard and it sounded like he was shoveling rock and then a gardener came (not ours, yet I expect ours today).

He's up! G2G

The Weekend must come to an end...

I hate it when the weekend ends! ugh. I have so much fun hanging out with my boys I never want it to end! Although, Dj only has to work until Wed and then has FIVE days off! YIPEEEEEEE.
We finally went to go see his mom today. We haven't been over there since (April 25th). It was nice Daniel & Steve came over too and we ordered pizza. Jayden is still really spitty =( I think I'm going to call his doctor tomorrow. It's been happening ever since his shots, a side affect I'm sure, but I still want to ask the advice nurse about it.
We still haven't watched Avatar. We bought it yesterday (?)...I just don't want to get interrupted or go off our schedule cause we'll all be effd. lol.

OHHHHH so my parents stop by this morning and my mom offers to take Jayden over night this coming Friday!!!!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited, Dj wanted to go to Tahoe! LOL, ya right. We got bills coming up and I'm not trying to spend money I just want to relax! Do NOTHING! I can NOT wait!! Picture me laying flat on my back in my living room floor in the shap of an "X"......get it? Ahhhhhh.....a BREAK.

Although I can't really complain. Dj has definitely given me a really good break this weekend especially after last night letting me sleep! He's such a sweetheart! I <3 him so much!!

Fully rested Sunday

So Dj took all the feedings of the night shift last night and I didn't even ask him to!! We both went to bed at 10 and when he woke up around 1:45 he got up! I was like, um ok fine with me (it's usually my feeding)! So I go back to sleep and he doesn't come back to bed....he goes and sleeps on the couch! WTF... he snores so im thinkin he's letting me get some sleep and he'll come back to bed. But he didn't. I hear Jayden wake up around 4:30 (I think) and heard him put the water in the microwave. I'm thinking, wow, well I'm definitely not going to protest! At 6:30 I hear Jayden fuss...so I get up and find them on the couch. I think Jayden was ready to go back to bed so we put him back down and both go back to bed. He wakes up at 8 and I get up and get him a bottle. I decide to go get Dj and I a bagel from the bagel shop down the street and a Starbucks. =) Off Jayden & I go, he's a good boy playing with his toy cow. He goes to sleep from 9:15-10 and all hell breaks loose. I get him another bottle and he eats 2 oz and then stops. I burp him, and he's squirming (obviously has a bubble). He wakes Dj up and he comes and grabs him and tries to get the burp out. He does. Guess Daddy's touch. He calms down for about 2min and he's back to cryin/screaming. What the hell. So he's trying to burp him again....gets another little bubble. I just think he has a upset tummy. I decide to give him a bath to try and calm him down hoping he'll pass out afterwards. He's almost to big for his little infant bath! He's already 2ft long! So I take the net off that sits on top and try putting him in the tub, except he's basically laying with his legs "Indian style" because he has no room (note to self: look for another bath tub). He's whinning the whole time and cryin while I get him dressed. I wrap a blanket around him and rock him to sleep. Finally, he's out. Man poor guy was not happy. I don't think he feels very good? =( But he has no other symptoms.
Dj and I are sitting here on the couch, finally eating our breakfast. He just made me laugh so hard I almost choked. Dj,"Don't I have nice legs? (as he extends his legs out and flexes)" Me, "ya, ya (eye rolling)" Dj, "Hey I've been told I have nice muscular legs! (punches me in the arm). Me, "Hey!" Dj,"Dont be a wuss, maybe I need to beat on you some more so you toughen up! Don't choke your gonna wake up the baby!"
LOL - this guy I swear, makes me laugh every day!

A great day of some R&R

Today was a great day to rest & relax! Jayden went to bed last night when we got home from picking him up from my mom's around 10 and he didn't wake up until 3:30am, YAY! Then slept until 6:30? Dj got up with him and I didn't wake up until 10! WAHOO! I woke up and Jayden was passed out in Dj's arms...think Dj was getting a little shut eye as well.
My cousin & Anthony came over this afternoon so that Dj could look at her car and see her dent. He basically pushed it all the way out almost, lol, she was happy. They stayed and visited for a little bit. Dj and I had Togo's for lunch. =) Jayden took good morning and late afternoon naps and we just hung out at home, as a family. I love it.
About 4:30 Dj is barely awake and I convince him to go lay down. Jayden wakes up at 5:15 and I feed him and I'm ready to go to Target. I go tell Dj I was going to go & he decides to get up and come so he's able to sleep tonight. Off to Target we go, Jayden played with his toy cow that's clipped to his car seat bar the WHOLE time. Get's a lil squirmy in his seat in Target, I take him out to hold him (which I never do) and 5 min later I'm thinkin, oh my lord this boy is killing my arm! HAHA. I've never held him for that long standing up before, let alone in a store. I have to hold my arm with my other hand just for support haha. He's on my shoulder just lookin around, I find Dj with the cart and put him back in and he crashes 2min later.
We leave Target, dressed in pajama's basically and I tell him if we were dressed we could go out to dinner now that he's passed out. We end up going to Shanghai Garden anyway and have some BOMB ass chineese food. mmmmmm. Chicken chow mein, broccoli beef & wonton soup. Delicious!! Dj goes to move his soup and ends up spilling it, haha. Then 1 min later he goes to set his glasses down and smacks it against his plate. We were laughing to hard. Jayden wakes up just as we were finishing, get the check & box and makes it home just in time for his next feeding. =)
He's been spitting up a lot more than usual lately...hmmmmm....no fever or other symptoms. It's way later after he's done eating too. I try to burp him 1/2 way (@4oz) but sometimes it doesn't matter. He'll burp wait like 30 seconds and up it comes. =(
We were going to watch a movie tonight, we bought Avatar at Target (haven't seen it) but it's already 9:30 and still trying to put Jayden down. He woke up at 7:30 so one more bottle and he'll go to bed. Dj's feeding him now but I think he wants to go to bed. I'll take over, it's past his bedtime anyhow!! =)

Date Night

In the process of dropping Jayden off at my mom's, we met at Once upon a child in Elk Grove to get some more clothes for Jayden. He's 2 months old and 2 feet long! He's growing so fast he needs more clothes (plus some summer jammies). I scored and got some pretty cute stuff there, damage $48. Then I run into Bath & Body works and stock up on the soaps that were on sale, damage $20. She takes Jayden to her house from there and I head home to meet Dj (he's on his way home from work).
I was home alone for a whole hour and found myself being quiet even though nobody was home. lol. I should of turned on my stereo and rocked out, haha.
Dj comes home and comes in Jayden's room where I am installing a new ink cartridge in the printer. We sit there, looking at each other and smile because we are ALONE. He isn't home 5 min before he tells me he wants Jayden home. LOL. Hey this is our time Mr! He apologetically smiles and says, "I just miss him already". Awwww. We decide to go to On the Border, I'm craving chips and salsa and we haven't been there in a long time. It was sooooooo good! We order guacamole, made at the table side and it was REALLY good (by far better than chevy's). I also have myself a nice little strawberry margarita =) We enjoy our dinner, and decide not to go to Target being already 20 to 9pm! We go to my mom's and discover Jayden hasn't slept at all! HE LOVES sitting in his carseat in the kitchen when my mom is cooking. He also has a toy cow clipped to the bar and hits that thing repeatedly! I give him a bottle before we head home and he's already falling alseep. He nursed it for almost 45 min dozing in and out, but it was ok we were watching an espisode of The Big Bang theory (?) sitcom that my brother was watching. That show is hilarious!
We head home and he is passed out. I put him in his crib and he slept until 3:30am!! SWEET DEAL!
Needless to say we had a great night!

My thoughts

So I'm justifying blogging only because I discovered blogging to book! WHAT?! That's awesome! I always pictured all my journals winding up in some of my family member's hands after I am gone. Reading what I've written about my life. Although, here, you don't see the aged penmenship. HAHA, which is maybe best...although I've always received compliments about my nice handwriting. Ah well =)

Jayden finally went down for a nap. He spit up a LOT after his last bottle, so I figured bath time!! Only I layed him down after that, and he spit up all over himself, changed clothes, then he pooped. So much for going to Grandma's house all nice a clean! Now I need to shower & get ready before he wakes up wanting another bottle.

We're going to my mom's this afternoon. I'm going to try and get a pedicure, maybe go to once upon a child and see if they have anything I want. Possible go to target and do some damage, debating whether I want to go with Dj or not, it will probably be easier on the wallet if I go alone. My mom's going to watch Jayden for awhile & Dj and I are going to have a date night. Although I think we're probably going to have dinner and then just spend the evening alone, in bed, lol. Last night we had a little time to snuggle and watch tv cause jayden was out of it from his shots and was sleeping. It was so nice just to relax, lie down, not have to do anything. I'd like another shot at that tonight, rent a movie maybe even order pizza or something.

Well I'm on the clock to get what I need done before his nap is over...adios!
