Days at Home!

Ahh the days at home are always so full of adventures to be discovered! Especially with kids!
So this morning i found my lil Jami in her room with sunglasses on and hiding in the closet with her blankie. I guess she was camping in there because i believe she also had her cute lil pillow in there too! haha She was dora the explorer ha ha So i decided to film a lil taste of our AT HOME ADVENTURES!.....Vamonos Amigos!


And then here is the knocked over christmas tree!!

ahhhh.. money! its just paper..

These past days have been the hardest days of my life...filled with lots of stress and disappointments. Every one's lifes are filled with worries, bills, and such things. i really have been looking at the negatives of life..and what i have, just isn't enough for me. then you think about the good things in life you have, like food, clothes, a place to sleep, a place to stay warm, and healthy family! this thanksgiving i am thankful for all the good things i have right now.. i don't need money to make it all better, although lifting off some bills would be nice! ha ha but no! only think about the positives! and that's my family!

Last night i had the best time ever! and we didn't need silly money to make that happened! Carlos and i watched a movie, ate some cheese and crackers, just cuddled with each other, i felt so happy, with no worries, knowing that my two babies were OK sleeping in their rooms. A lovable husband that cares so much about his family and his kids! he really works so hard to keep this family with all that we need! i sometimes feel helpless not working just staying at home, but when i tell him about me working, he simply says that he feels right me staying home and taking care of the kids! I'm so grateful for that. its just awesome!

i feel no stress...its the most warming feeling ever.


hope you all look at your lifes the same way..its just nice to do so once in while...best if you do it everyday but hey no one is perfect!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

ANOTHER BABY!!

Carlos Giovanni Valdez is here! finally!
intro....ANNND BAM! there you go! a Wednesday baby, a October baby, a fall baby! yippy now comes the fun part of getting up every hour and feeding him and changing diapers! woo hoo ya forgot how stressful that part was! anyway sooo worth it!

Here are the de-tails...
so on Wednesday morning i woke up with itty bitty contractions and didn't really think anything of it, until they were getting stronger and close together so i call my doctor ( which was awesome!) and he tells me " go to the hospital missy" so we head on out there! by which my mom was already with us to take care of lil jamilette..anyway so we are driving (seemed like 10mph) but Carlos starts talking about how hungry he is and blah blah im like ("GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL ASAP OR ELSE MY FOOT IS GOING TO END UP, UP YOUR") asssss we get there we go through emergency room...once you go in there everyone tends to stare im like "oh geez stop looking im in labor" lol he he anyway so they make me pee in this cup...umm..yah. good one its hard as it is trying to when there's a huge belly in the way...now with contractions! ugh geez-- lou-ezz...so finally i get settled in and they monitor me, tell me to walk around...and boom they tell me to go home and come back if they get stronger and alot closer together! im like really..o boy by the time i got home they were huge!! i mean like i wanted to get to the hospital fast so then we went back got there around 3 ish and at 5:33pm BABY CARLITOS came out! what a relief! so hes super healthy, super cute too! anyway jami is adjusting to the whole baby being home now...she still needs to learn to be gentle though, its cute because you can tell she does try to! she'll be a great big sis i just know it!

Here are some more pics!

JAMI got her first haircut the other day...not to long ago and let me tell you it was the cutest/funniest thing!....she was very still the whole time, didn't even move at all....shes a big girl now! Now i see that she does look like "boo" from "Monsters inc." i go to the store and BAM all these people stop me to tell me that she looks like her and that they want to squeeze her cheeks! ha ha ha its cute though i don't mind!

OK so here's the update: As of the 15th of this month i am now...(drum roll please)...A STAY AT HOME MOTHER! yay..cha cha cha... real exciting..although i must say i really have been looking for some hobbies to do, i tried cooking and umm..ya that's not working that well haha anyway I've also tried making bows which i do enjoy but as of daily basis i don't think so. well ill keep you guys updated on what i do end up doing...or any ideas? and SECONDLY, i was on vacation for about a week with my mother and sister in California to visit/help out my big sis, with her new baby boy too! kinda hectic when you have a house full of kids under the age of 8 plus a teenager (at that stage where's shes too cool) and a pregnant lady full of crazy mood swings+ a person that just had her baby and her hormones are trying to go back to normal!! ahhhhh i was going a lil crazy i must admit...but i made it! On the ride home we seriously made it here in Utah on record time! ha ha i think my mom was done handling grandchildren fighting for her plus three daughters! very fun.


alright...annnnd now I'm home taking care of my 1 and half year old daughter which I'm beginning to potty train!, she actually wants to, that's the insane part! well I'm actually glad because we would have to be buying double the diapers! eek. i have some photos that i tried to take while i was home bored waiting for my husband to get home from work! (poor bugger, he is working non stop two jobs..that's what i call a MAN) hehe love him. anyway ill post them below!

p.s. ill be on blogger more often now!!sorry about the cleavage...hehe

Swimming time!!

Over the weekend we went swimming out at bear lake and let me tell you i have never seen my lil jami play so much, even though she was pruny from the water she still insisted on going in!! it was great who would of thought that she would love the water soo much! im so excited for her! We even bought a little tube which honestly i thought it was going to be a waste of money but man o man she used that tube to the fullest! it was great...so now im determined to get her in some swimming classes to get her going! bet she'll love that a whole bunch! um so here are some pictures for you to see how much she loved being out doors! plus a bonus of my enormously big belly! which by the way im ready to get this baby popping out a here! ha ha i still have a lot to go but im not that far from that happening. anyway here they are:

(^_^) yummmy!

we bought jami puppy straps and that's all she does is lick them....he he its funny though because i talk to her or something else gets her attention and she just doesn't let those puppies go! ha ha its awesome!

<(O-O)> Sling time!

The other day i went to the mall, ditched the car seat and stroller for the sling!

i love it and apparently so does Jamilette.... just look at her she is passed out! and no hands!! everyone should get one for their babies! you can even use it when they are bigger! its awesome!

Anyway, 2 days ago she got 3 shots! shes been real cranky lately because her lil legs are sore from her shots..so sad but now shes good!, back to her sweet happy self (which im glad she is because i havnt slept at all!)

i cant believe that my baby can do this already..its the cutest i didn't know she can do this until i put her on her belly just to see what she can do! strong like her daddy! so proud of her! anyway soo...i took Jamilette to school with me the other day and let me say she was awsome! didn't even make a squeak well she was laughing with everyone!, such a happy baby! and it was a whole day class, it went from 8:30 to 6:00! unbelievable!

^__^ aaa... mother-hood

as a mother i think that you find everyway in order to make your life easier or just to have more time to do stuff around the house....soo i pretty much had this idea in order for me to do things and not have to sit there feeding her.. which is sad because thats when you bond but eh i only do it when i need to get something done...but doesnt she just look adorable! ha ha (you happy holly) lol oops..i mean he he he or how about this one...yahahahaha ok inside joke. anyway i think that every mother has their ideas or techniques they use to get things done!

(>'o' )> Eyebrows? waxed?....

YA-ouuch! i got my eyebrows waxed today for the first time ever and it made my eyes watery...lol but eh it looks great! the scary thing was that the lady wouldn't understand me and i couldn't understand her so i was like oh sh*t im screwed, im going to go home looking like i got botox on my eyes or have a permanent surprised expression on my face! lol but it turned out good(that's the last time im going there again!)
