Baby #2

So yeah, we are expecting baby #2. We are all very excited. We are about 7 weeks pregnant so we are barely starting out this long journey. I haven't had any morning sickness, but my stomach is really yucky all the time. And this baby will NOT accept any fatty or greasy food AT ALL. The only thing I want to eat is fruits or anything fruity. Eko is loving the idea of being a big brother. He makes sure that i'm always ok, if i complain about the smallest thing he runs to my rescue.

Eko's New announcement!

Eko has a big announcement to share with you guys!

He really was very shocked but happy and excited.

HAPPY NEW YEARS.

This year we had a fun New Years. We went to my mom's church and they had a HUGE feast with tons of food and these massive fireworks, we were so close it looked like they would land on us because they were throwing them from a 2nd floor building and we were right under them.

This is us celebrating New Years a day earlier with eko. We had a fire (made inside a medal trash can, Miami style) we made s'mores and had sparklers. By the way, this picture of Eko is amazing and it was taken with a phone. I just love it.
This was us on Christmas Eve at Miami Beach. This was a fun Christmas but we sure miss our white christmas in utah, we are hoping to go back for christmas next year.
P.S. Funny story. When Eko was born people would tell me that they thought I looked like if I was 25 or so when I was only 20 and it made me so sad. Well yesterday I went to go buy some sparklers and they wouldn't sell them to me because they said I looked less than 21 and I'm actually 24 now. So I guess I went from looking older with a newborn to looking younger with a 4 year old. Life is a plate of sushi sometimes, it may look raw and funny in the outside but tastes so yummy in the inside. I LOVE SUSHI, CAN YOU TELL.

Getting Ready For Christmas!

Don't you just love this little angel ornament, I sure tho. Tis is the season to Give, And I'm not talking about gifts under the tree but to give love, hugs, to care for those who are alone and give back a little of the many blessing we get all year long.

Introducing Our christmas tree 2010. its a bad picture but I just love it.
This is eko introducing and very proud of his tree.
He loves posing in front of HIS tree. haha
Silly Kid
This is our 2010 christmas Ornament to celebrate our first christmas in Miami. By the way as of yesterday we were still wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts so it fits.
I love this season to celebrate the birth of christ and all he has done for us.
As a latin I just had to put my nativity under my tree as our tradition where it will stay till christmas eve when it will be replaced by the gifts for christmas morning. I also think it will be so much more fun for eko to see just a few gifts to seeing A LOT of gifts from one day to the next.
Hope you guys are all having fun decorating your houses too.

What I'm Thankful For this year.....

This year has been a year of blessing but also a year of great trials. But over all we have been blessed. Our family is standing stronger than Ever

I'm thankful for a husband that supports me and loves me in my good days and even on the days that I don't even love myself.
My boys, When these two are together, my life is nothing but perfect. They are so silly together and make me laugh so hard.
I'm thankful for my mother. I'm the cute little girl in the middle of this picture. She lives with me now and she has been one of my greatest blessings this year. she reminds me every single day of the Love of the Lord towards me and of my purpose.
And ofcourse I'm thankful for my families. My two families, Mark's parents and siblings and my two sets of parents and my siblings. This year I have learned to appreciate them more than ever
Hope you all had an amazing thanksgiving and you remembered to be thankful for all your blessing this year.

Family Beach Day

The day after mark got here we went to the beach and we had A BLAST. It was cloudy and raining but we did not care because we had a great time.

Mark showed Eko how to ride the waves and he was amazing at it.
I love this picture.
If anyone up north lost their snowman, we found it here in miami getting a tan.
Trying to pass the rain under our tiny umbrella.

Halloween weekend 2010

Best week we have had in months. Mark came to visit us and surprise eko for halloween after not seeing each other for 3 months. He got here on halloween early morning.

So our costumes didn't work out but I was suppose to be Alice from twillight and mark was suppose to be jacob but we ran out of time and just put something on quick. but eko looked so cute.
Our little Iron man.
the night before halloween we had a trunk or treat and that was a blast.
Our monster car.
Hope you all had an awesome halloween.

Mother Son Date

Eko and I had our first mother / son Date in a while. We use to do it once a month but life has been crazy lately so we haven't done it since July. So the other night we went to chili's for lunch. It was fun to have a day just for the two of us.

My son is a Meat Monster, He loves it and its not ashame to show it.
Who said one was enough, not for eko.
These are just some fun pictures of eko modeling. The necklace he is wearing was mark from the filipines from when he served a mission. Eko loves it and tells everyone about it.
