My Kiddos!

I know how fast your kids grow up, I feel it and wittiness it everyday with the twins! Some days it feels like my children have been in my life for as long as I can remember and at the same time it feels like I just found out I was pregnant yesterday!

When we found out we were pregnant with Gavin we were shocked and worried how will we be able to handle another little one? But that's where life is amazing... at first it seems like it is an impossible daunting task to have three kids, but really its no harder than it is to have two! Gavin blends right into the routine and is the a wonderful addition to our family, wouldn't change a thing!

Speaking of my Little Man, Gavin has grown so much and his little happy personality is starting to really come out! He is turning 3 months tomorrow and I can' t hardly believe it at all! Here are some of the things he is up to now a days!

3 Months:
15 lbs 80th%tile
25.75" long 95th%tile
blow spit bubble/raspberries
making lots of sweet cooing noises
wears size two diapers
fits 3-6 month clothing
laughs at his mom/dad making silly noises
love so smile at his sisters
holding his head up really well while on his belly
sleeps from 9:30p.m.-6/7 a.m.-ish

Simply put, this little man is amazing and a true joy!

Family Portraits!

We went out to Target Portrait Studios on April 5th and had some pictures taken of our family. It has been almost 2 years since we did this and with Little Man in our live we didn't wanna be a cliche by not having enough photos with/of him! It is really challenging to get the twins to sit and smile at the same time but we managed to get some good pictures...

What a Cutie!!!!!!!

I really don't like to brag... well okay I do a little, but only about my kiddos! But seriously he is so cute, right!? He is starting to talk, smile and laugh a ton and he is just a true joy to have around! I love this little dude!

Easter 2010!

Easter this year was a blast! The girls had more Easter eggs to hunt than their baskets could hold! I also carried on my family's tradition of saving dozens of egg and filling them with confetti, called cascarones in Spanish. They are a Mexican tradition that my side of the family does every Easter and this year I made 4 dozen and we all had a blast breaking them over each others heads!!!

This year we decided to also fill all the plastic eggs with stickers instead of candy. And I know what you are thinking that I am no fun and the kids should have candy on Easter and I agree with that... I went out twice before Easter and bought candy and proceeded to eat it all myself... oops... bad Mommy! No, the girls did eat a ton of candy with me before Easter and I just thought it was enough...

P.S. We did get family photos taken on the 5Th so be looking out for those!

Fun in The Sun!

I have to apologize for the lack of posts lately but I am so busy with the whole family and trying to get us moved that I barely have time to post pictures! This is from the middle of last week as we were hang out in our backyard for the afternoon!

Kaylee is not scared of worms...

What is going on with us!

Me, I am just rocking out the mom thing and getting us packed and ready to come home to Texas! Life with twin two year olds and a new baby isn't always easy but I seem to keep it all together somehow day by day, sometimes minute by minute but I love my kiddos and couldn't ask for better kids! I have also decided that I am going to go through training at the end of this year to become a Bradley Method Teacher (teaches natural childbirth) and I couldn't be more excited. I have personally practice this and I truly believe in it and look forward to encouraging and motivating more women to also believing in themselves and their God giving natural ability to go through childbirth as natural as possible.
Reed is very enamored with his new son, and loves to spend as much time with him as possible. Reed is working really hard to help his boss close up things with the sell of his branch to Terminix. Reed has to go in to the office super early in the morning, but luckly he gets to come home earlier than usual. Also, Reed was rear ended by a guy, who does not have any insurance by the way, at a red light about two weeks ago and now that car has been totaled, but Reed was 100% okay. He is ready to come back to Texas and see his old friends and family!
Kaylee likes having a little brother around and she likes to kiss and hug him and cover him up with a blanket! She is also developing a very large vocabulary and talks to us 24/7! She has so much to say and although I only can understand 40% of what comes out of her mouth it is fun and interesting to listen to all she has to say! Kaylee has also decided that it was time to start using the potty and not use diaper anymore. She also has helped her sister come to the same conclusion and insisted that she take off her pants and diaper and use the potty! I mean Kaylee literally took off Grace's pants and diaper and told her to sit on the potty and go pee, and Grace has been using the potty ever since! She did my job for me! lol
Grace is enjoying her little brother and loves, more like demands, to hold her baby brother! Grace is also starting to learn and sing songs all on her own, her favorites are "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider", it is so cute to hear her sing! She has also started to potty train with encouragement from her big sister!
Gavin is growing big and strong and is starting to smile and talk to us some more! He is also noticing his mobile on his swing and the fans in the ceiling. He is still sleeping through the night for the most part. Reed would say that him and I are inseparable and that I hog him all the time, which is true. He is just a wonderful addition to our family! Seriously couldn't ask for a better son! And it doesn't hurt that he is so darn cute, right!?

The Men in My Life!!!!!!!

Ah, I truly love the men in my life! They bring such joy to my life...

Gavin is doing well, he just turned 2 months on the 21st of March and he is growing like at weed and weighing in at a healthy 13.5 lbs! Reed is doing well also and he is also weighing in at a wopping... ... ... just kidding! We are all getting ready to move back to Plano, Texas and in the mean time just enjoying East Coast Spring weather!!!!!!!!!!!!
