More blessings

So I found out yesterday I am pregnant! I am officially 7 weeks. I am so excited we will have baby number two and make our family complete. Madison is looking forward to being a big sister. She made it perfectly clear she would prefer a baby girl LOL but we are hoping for a boy to have one of each. I will be happy either way as long as they baby is healthy and happy. We have totally had a boy name since I was pregnant with madison :) and its Tristan. If we have a girl it will be Aribella. Prounounced R-E-bella. Live has just continued to progress so well since we moved from the Valley area in Cali. I have an awesome job doing what I love. My daughter goes to a preschool she loves and they are thinking about starting to teach kindergarten there :-). My husband and I have never been happier with life. Todd wants to go back to school to get into something he will love to do and I totally support that. I feel like everything we want has fallen into place. I feel so blessed to be where I am in life and to have all of the people around me that love my family.

Disneyland 2011

Our first ever trip that we had a 4 day hopper pass and boy did we do a lot. We are all so tired and worn out but it was well worth it :). I am writing it all down on here because there is just simply too much to type on facebook. This trip was for our 5 year wedding anniversary, Todds birthday and our valentines day :)
Day 1: We arrive at Disneyland at 8am and meet up with a few Disney characters and Madison is ecstatic to see them. Next its time for rides. We decide to take it easy and start with the kid rides first. I thought she would be scared but she LOVED them. Every time we got off one she asked OK what are we riding next lol. So now we figured lets take her to ride pirates of the Caribbean and the haunted house. I thought for sure she was going to get a little spooked. NOPE she asked to ride them both again. Next we decided lets meet some more characters and continued to ride the rides til about 11pm non stop. The only time we stopped was to watch some awesome fireworks. She was such a trooper and made her mama and daddy proud.
Day 2: This is Madison day and all about her. She dresses up as Rapunzel and I do her hair so cute with flowers all over it like the movie tangled. All day she got compliments on how good her hair looked. She was gorgeous. We took her to meet all the princesses at the princess fantasy fair where she met first Tiana, princess Minnie and the fairy godmother. Then they had a show where they let the kids get up and dance. Madison decided to walk right in the middle of the show up front the only kid up in front and steal the show people loved her lol. After the show she met Cinderella, snow white, and princess aurora. At this point we went over to California adventure park to ride some rides over there. Madison happens to be 40.5 inches and you have to be 40 to ride almost all the rides :) YAY. So we took her on soaring over California again I was sure she would be scared. NOPE rode it 3 times while at the parks. For lunch we took her to eat at Ariel's Grotto where she met Ariel, Cinderella, snow white, belle , and finally aurora again. That evening we watched the World Of Color and I have to say Disney had outdone themselves it was fabulous. Plus they are building an Ariel ride so stoked for that and a whole area dedicated to the movie cars. O yea and at night they have the Hollywood back lot set up as tron that so sweet and some techno music to make it rock. This was another late night for us all.
Day 3: This day was our off day we decided to spend at the beach :) It was wonderful the weather was great and it makes us more sure we want to live by a beach someday. Even with this day off I was beat after two full 8am to almost midnight days of fun.
Day 4: Since we rode pretty much everything this day we spent meeting all the characters we could. Madison finally met Rapunzel and I have to say it was the highlight of this day. They only let a small amount of people meet her and we were lucky to be a part of that. We ate dinner at the Blue Bayou and for those who love Disneyland this is a must. Fine dining at its best! So later in the day after Todd and I decided we wanted to ride space mountain and we would take turns watching Madison. As we walk up to the ride Madison says I want to ride the space ride mommy. I said are you sure it is fast and dark? She said yes I will try it if I don't like it I wont ride it again. So she went on it and did great. I was so proud of her no crying and no screaming. She said she did not like the dark though. So we took her on the Matterhorn and she loved it. She rode it twice LOL. I cannot believe my child that was scared of so much is so brave now. She is growing up so fast :-(. This night we watched fantasmic which was ok but nothing like world of color.
Day 5: This day we spent going through all the shops. Todd and I started pin lanyards and collecting pins. We found out about how you can find rare pins on cast members that have hidden mickeys and we were on a mission lol. Both of us got some awesome rare pins and cant wait to go back and keep it up! Madison got an adorable stuffed animal "Stitch" and he is her new buddy. So to sum it up we rode most rides at least 3 times and did everything you could do at Disneyland :). It was our best family trip ever. We may go again in October cause that's the only time of year we have never been and the villains are out only around Halloween. We shall see.
Day 6: This day we drove home but I-80 was closed so could not go home so we went and saw some family first. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise...I was able to stay the night at my friend Melanie's house and we talked a ton. I miss her alot. I also got a text my friend went into labor and I am so excited for her and her family. Hopefully this time tomorrow baby Thalia will be here.........

new hair and new life :)

So my baby girl is 4 now and we had the most wonderful birthday parties for her in our new home and back with our family. I have met some of the most amazing people where I live now. I can say I have a new bff for sure! We have kids the same age and the love the heck out of each other. I have never seen Madison so happy with another little girl. Madison starts preschool the first week of November and she is super excited. We found this adorable christian church preschool for her.
Can I just say I love my job too? WOW for once in my life its like everything all around me is falling into place just like we planned. I mean I have always had love and friends that are awesome but I cannot think of anything else I want right now. Maybe another car LOL. Then a baby??? I have been working so freaking much baby making time has been cut to a minimum. Finally I am feeling like I have got into a groove with work and our life here. Sooooooooo maybe spring time to start trying again :) I have too much going on in the next few months to get preggo now. Tahoe next week, Disneyland in Feb, Vegas beginning of summer, Then Kauai trip coming up too. What can I say we are vacation fanatics. Would rather spend my money now having fun than die old with it :) Cannot wait til we visit spots like Ireland, New Zealand, Paris, Italy and Alaska to start lol. My list just keeps getting longer. Better start saving haha.

Time to open up

So I have not done this in a while and man how things have changed. I love where we are living so much. Life has been so peaceful and quiet. It is so crazy how much life can change in only a few months. I miss my friends and family but they have been visiting us often :) Heck it feels like we have a visitor here like every other weekend. This weekend my dad then second week in september mother in law coming for a whole week. Then my aunt and sister in law for a visit the end of september. Believe it or not I cannot wait for winter here and to see all the snow. I hate the cold lol but snow is just so beautiful.

My brother in law passed away on my birthday july 26th 2010 and it was a tough experience to go through. I found out at 2 am then had to work that day. WOW it was a long day. The week before he passed his final wish was to come see us, so we had him here for two days. It was so awesome to share time with him. When he got home his body just shut down. It was like he used his last ounce of energy to come see us. I am truly blessed to be a part of my husbands family. They are so loving and such a blessing.

Today marks the day I am 14 days late on my period....Its weird I dont feel pregnant so I find myself wondering if something serious is going on. Like a health issue but I am too scared to check :( Saturday im taking a test and if its negative I am going to force myself to go to the doctor. We shall see...............

Toasted

This week was nice :) Besides no period yet so I am all bloated, I got burnt so bad at santa cruz. Going to santa cruz was so nice though. It was a total girls day out. My daughter and I went with my friend and her two kids. We relaxed on the beach and played in the sand all day. Then went to the boardwalk and did some girly shopping. Finally some nice weather to go out in. Of course I got burnt to a crisp with my whiteness but it was fun doing it.

Fathers day is coming up and I cant wait for two days out of town with my love. He so needs a real vacation but that wont be until november. I meet on tuesday with a guy to go online and get my bachelors. It will take me two years but I know I am not happy just settling with where I am. I want to achieve more. Eventually work in labor and delivery :) So I hope I like what this guy has to tell me on tuesday and I can get started right away. Nice thing about schoool online is still being able to work. I also got offered back my old job but I am only gonna work two days a week until I see what goes on with this school. Finally things are getting better. Hope it stays that way.
