Did I tell you...

Did I? Did I mention that I am pregnant? After trying for the better part of 15 years, we are finally expecting our second child!!!

I must say that even though we have been actively trying again, I was shocked. Raul is HAPPY, it's cute.

Favorites pt. 1

I have a lot of favorite Kenny pictures, here is one I came across last night. We were up Christmas morning and here he is brushing his hair. This is one of those times that a parent is proud their child can do things independently and at the same time feel sad that their "baby" is growing up so fast.



Although this isn't my favorite picture of my Mom.(I think the one I like best is in her photo album) This picture reminds me of a time we were so close. My Mommy was my world, I look up to her, respect her, and idolize her. She was the center of my universe. It wasn't until recently that I realized that just as much as our children are the center of our universe, we are the center of their's.



Here we have one of the many school pics I have of myself. I like this one best. I loved when my Mom did my hair this way. This shirt was so cute. Most of all I got to wear for that day my Mommy's bracelets, this made me feel so special.



Lastly here is a photo of a very sweet little boy that I babysat. His name is Davy. I used to watch both him and his brother, John, for his Grandma. I loved all the times I got to spend with them but my favorite was when we would walk to the park they would sing "Jesus Loves Me." This always melted my heart.

A day out

Yesterday I went to the World Wildlife Zoo & Aquarium. It was my friend Stephanie, her two oldest, Peter and Stephanie, and myself. It was a blast!

The aquarium is a new addition to one of my favorite places to go. When my parents took us Kenny loved feeding the parrots. I enjoy feeding the giraffes. I couldn't believe I got a close-up picture of the jaguar.

However my NEW favorite is the Poison Dart Frogs! Anyone that knows me well, knows that that I LOVE poison dart frogs especially the blue and black ones!

We even got to have lunch at the Tiburon Restuarant inside the aquarium!

An angry little boy

Kenny does not like the changes going on in our house lately. When we brought home the cat it made him very unhappy. He told me that I should take her back. His jealousy towards this little fluff ball shocked me.

As you all know we would like to have more children. Basically my whole happiness has been wrapped up in MY ability to have another child. However seeing Kenny's reaction to the animals has me thinking, that maybe he couldn't handle the change in our lives.

If Kenny was your average boy, I wouldn't be as concerned. But when the cat was missing we entertained the thought that maybe Kenny had something to do with it. Now we just don't know.

For a little while...

For a few hours today I had a doggy. I found a stray and brought him home. He was so excited and happy. He played with me and gave me kisses. I just ate it up.

However Kenny DID NOT like the dog. He was jealous. He also did not like the dog, much like all other living things, in his space.

So when I went back to work Ms. Jane said that she would of liked the dog as a playmate for her puppy, so I gave her my address and Raul's number and she now has a new doggy.

It was fun while I had him but Kenny comes first. Which leads us to my next post.

Our Skitty...

So we got a kitty the other day. I desperately want something to love and cuddle with. So we knew that the cat was shy and that I have very little patience. Still when she kept hiding I of course got upset. THEN she just disappeared. It drove us nuts. I stayed up late one night looking for her and when I went to bed at 2am I woke up Raul. So, he got out of bed to get a drink and saw something go up under the sink area. So he felt up under and could not find a hole.

So by this time I was on the couch and he comes in and says that he must be seeing things. He told me what he saw and that there was no hole. I went in and got on the floor and sure enough there was a gap and that's where she was.

She stayed there for days, only coming out when we slept. On day Raul surprised her and she ran but not for her usual spot. So we were finally able to block the hole.

After that I was determined to be more patient and it is paying off. She still isn't all snuggly but she does come out and look around and we can even bribe her with treats and pet her alittle.

So nice

Well I finally broke down and went and did one of my favorite things. I got my nails done!

Since I no longer work 2 jobs and we do not have the extra cash we used to, I have curbed my spending on my nails.

However, I am so glad I went 'cause my toes turned out soooooooo cute!
