Fun Things To Share

WOW! So, today I hit the 3rd trimester mark! I am 7 months preggy... Can't believe in just 3 short months, I get to meet this little guy growing inside me. SO EXCITING!

Today, as I was sitting in the car waiting to pick up Adrean, I was watching the kids go outside & get their backpacks off their hooks by their classrooms & I thought to myself, HOLY MOLY! Where in the world do they get all this energy from?! They're in school all day & by the time their day is over, they're still full of lots of energy.. Pass some of that on to me, please. :) I love picking up Adrean from school. I feel fortunate to be able to be there for him in the mornings to help him get ready & send him off to start his day & to be there waiting for him when he gets out at the end of the day. Seeing all those little kids being little fireballs of energy & being excited to see whoever it is picking them up & anxious to share their day with them, (my child included) really brings a smile to my face. I know it won't be like this forever so I treasure these moments while I can. :) Especially having him yell across the playground as his class is walking out, "HI MOMMY!!" waving & all happy to see me! Makes me feel so good.

After I picked Adrean up, I decided to pick something up for dinner. He has been wanting pizza & wings, so, we went with Pizza Hut. I placed the order on my phone so that way by the time we got there, we wouldn't have to wait so long & he thought that was amazing! LOL! The little things kiddos appreciate. ;) We got home, washed our hands & started eating & we had a pretty interesting, funny & sweet conversation. Adrean randomly told me, (which he has been doing this a lot) that he was so happy to have me as a mommy & that I am the best mommy. Then, he proceeds to tell me how thankful he is for everything he has. He told me he's thankful for having the best mommy & daddy, thankful for the clothes we buy him, for having a house, for having 2 cars, for having clean drinking water. I was like, WOW! He told me, "Mommy, can you believe some places have to drink dirty water? We are so lucky we have good water." Then, he says, "I wonder what they are doing in India?" [sooo random, I know.] Next he tells me, "Ewww. I wonder how Santa does it, how does he drink the different kinds of milk from all over the world? It must be really gross." Haha. I have no idea where my child comes up with all these things. I finally ask him, "What makes me the best mommy?" He says. "You put me in a good school, you bought me pizza, you buy me clothes, you're just the greatest! You do everything for me... How can I ever thank you?" Ahhhh, melted my heart hearing those sweet words from him? I hope that our relationship can always be this way & that he never grows distant from me. I love being his mommy so much & can't even begin to imagine what it is going to be like being the mother of 2 precious little boys! I feel so blessed..

So, I am ending this post with some pics!

Lots To Post About!

As always, I have so much to post & update about!

Part 1

One of the biggest & most exciting thing being, Richy & I celebrated our 9 year anniversary of being together! WOW!! That is pretty hard to believe sometimes then again, it doesn't because we have been through so much together & have grown up & come a long way from where we started back when we were only 15 years old. I will share the post I posted on Facebook.

2.5.04-until the end of time....

Prepare yourselves for a pic overload! Today is a special day for Richy & me. 9 years ago, he asked me to be his girlfriend & here we are in 2013, still going stronger than ever. We've been married over 5 years, we have a 6 yr old prince & ...another one on the way & we have gone through pretty much everything together. He & I grew up together, we struggled together, we made accomplishments together, we've been successful together, we raise our family together, we do everything together. He is my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my lover, my husband, my everything. ♥ he has had my heart for all these years & my heart belongs to him until the end of time. He has helped me become who I am today & has always stood beside me & taken care of me since we were just teenagers. I am forever thankful for all he has done for me & for our family. God truly blessed me with the most amazing man to have as my husband & father of my children. I can never truly express how grateful I am & how much love I have for Richy.

 

I'll also post some of the pictures that I had posted throughout the day. :)

 

Summer of 2006, I had to be at least 8 months pregnant, maybe more... Ready to pop with Adrean. & now January 2013, 6 months preggy with baby J. Lol, just looking at these pics side to side reminds me of how difference the experiences have been between these 2 pregnancies & makes me think of how far we have come in the last 6 years... Definitely different this time around not being young clueless teens & having grown up so much. So thankful!

 

August 2008 after Richy got home from Basic & AIT. Richy just turned 20 & Adrean just turned 2. My little baby is all grown up now! & look at Richy's expression. Haha. So serious... I think the military got to him. Lol.

 

 High school days... 2004-2005

 My first birthday as a mommy! Also, my 18th birthday.

 

5.13.07 my first mothers day & the day he asked me to be wifey. ❤

 

So long ago! I was a sophomore & richy was a jr. Then the top right is my 16th bday & the bottom right is richys 17th bday. Lol, his last bday before he became a daddy!

 

Part 2

This past Saturday, we had a SUPER busy day! It felt like we were on the go from early morning to late that night, well I guess we literally were. We had a bunch of errands to do before Richy left for a month long training he is doing for the Army. We got tons done though! One big thing was that we did our baby registry at Babies R Us! That was pretty fun. We did it together as a family.

 

 

Haha. I have a pretty wild child as you can tell from these pics! He's not dramatic at all, is he? He was very excited to help us pick out things for his baby brother & to be able to use the cool little scanner gun thingy. I actually think he scanned a few little random things that we didn't notice until I looked over my registry online & saw things that I know for sure, mommy & daddy didn't scan. LOL! He was pooped by the end of the trip through every baby aisle, but he did good! I was proud. We are trying our best to help him adjust with the new baby & not let him feel left out in any way so we always try to find ways to include him in things & encourage him about becoming a big brother. So far, things are good. We'll see once the little one makes his arrival.

 

 

The next big thing, which is VERY EXCITING for us is that we purchased a NEW CAR!!! WOOHOO!! We went to the dealership kinda late Saturday night with the intention of looking at a car we saw online. The next thing we know, they're appraising our Jeep & we were driving home in a new car!!!

 

Goodbye 2008 JEEP PATRIOT!

 

Hello 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY!



We are all very happy & excited about our new car! We love it!! :) Adrean was a little sad at first when we were cleaning the Jeep out because he said that he had so many memories with the Jeep & that he loved it but once the guy pulled the Camry up next to the Jeep for us to switch our stuff over, Adrean jumped into the backseat & his attitude immediately changed from being sad to being super excited & he said, "Man!! BUT I DO LOOOVE MY NEW CAR!!!!" hahaha. He is hilarious! That child is something else...

 

 

So, that is a little tidbit of what our Saturday consisted of, but it was a very busy & exciting day! I was soooo tired by the time we made it home!

 

Next post will be about our last couple days before Richy left for the month & some preggy pictures of me! :)
