About some time ago I mentioned some exciting new that we were going to start trying for another baby late next year. It was not until recently Jaime and I have been implementing the idea on Megan. Such as asking question about having a sister or a brother. Telling her that she is such a big girl already, and it means that she will be in charge of doing things for someone else or herself. I have told her that mommy will have a baby in her belly...not tomorrow but in some time. She still thinks that its tomorrow but at least she is some what happy and excited about the possibility of someone else to play with. Jaime and I have also decided that after we have our 2nd we are going to try for a 3rd after. I want to say about a year and a half after but we still have not discussed that part yet. We are big on planning and so far everything we have planned for ourselves has gone how we planned. We are pretty excited about this upcoming year. Actually scratch that...excited, is probably...

I wanted to show you all a quick glance at what Marshall, our Elf, has been up to:) Mr. Marshall has no idea sometimes what to do at times when he gets back,especially when he is too sleeping to think of something clever.

It is Finally December! We have already started with the decorations, we still have so much work to do to make it really special come Christmas Day. I have to decorate our dinning area and our walk in area, I'm so excited!!! I have to make an announcement also, we finally now have a home. It was really hard getting it but we are here and I am loving this home! It is so spacious and has a huge yard in the back. We still have lots of work to do to it to make it look nice but it's a start. Its taken us almost three days to unpack everything. It is not fun. I have so many plans for Megan's room but the amount of toys takes over her entire room. We have put up our Christmas tree, while we were putting up our tree we were listening to some Christmas music, it was so nice to hear. We found some ornaments that we forgot we bought last year. I was really shocked that we had some and we actually saved some money by buying ornaments last year that were more than half priced. Thi...

The holiday will soon be here as well as our favorite elf! Megan has been asking about out Elf "Marshall" all year long. Not a week passed by that she didn't ask for him. Soon he will be here and I cannot help but look up some things on Pinterest about him. I found some pretty good ideas for his first day back. The idea that stood out was having him come with a package from the North Pole. Jaime and I are having a grand time figuring out what we should put in the package that she will be receiving. I am hoping that someone can ring the door bell and on the floor will be "Marshall" the elf with the package on our front porch and have Megan come out and see what came for her:) To say I'm excited is an understatement, I love that she knows that Santa could be watching her. I wanted to take the time to put a little Christmas wish together for my family. So that way they know what I roughly want for Christmas, I think my family knows me well enough that Im h...

As I'm typing this post my 3 year old child had been non-stop talking for about 5 minutes already. I'm surprised she is having time to breathe. She said she has a lot of stories to tell me. Never a dull moment with her. She is either dropping things, saying things that she is not suppose to or acting some sort of skit of something.  I wanted to post some photos and let you all know what we have been up to.   1. For Veterans day, our little family ate some dinner at Golden Corral, there were a ton of people there. Jaime was talking to so many people, some veterans, some Texan fans, and some of his boys that he used to serve with. It was really packed with people but It was not as bad as I thought It would be. Megan and Jaime had fun, we were in a room in the back and it was pretty quiet for the most part. Cotton Candy is kind of  a big deal with Megan now a days, so when she saw a little boy with Cotton Candy the girl was pretty excited to get some. ...

Well well lets see what we are up to again. I  forgot to write a post up about our Halloween. I know its pretty late but its here:)    It was on a Wednesday, and on those days I have to do my observation hours at school. So Jaime took Megan to daycare where they were going to have a harvest party and I was going to go to school to spend some time there. At the school some students dresses up in their Halloween outfits and they also had a Costume Parade around the school. After I left the school I went to the store to buy some goodies for Megan to give to her in her basket. This year was spent with just Me and Megan, Jaime had to work on Halloween. So the both of us spent the night with my family. We spent some time with my mom trying to open her door because she accidentally locked the door to the bathroom and was unable to get inside due to not having a key. We left to see Jaime and brought him some food but could not stay long because they were also giving...

We are currently trying to get this home! We are unfortunately having problems getting ahold of the owners. Its a beautiful home and is newly remodeled. Its right around the corner to where my moms lives and is in the same city that Jaime works in, and the school that Megan goes to, which is why this home is our first choice. Im praying hard we get this house. Ive always been in love with it.

 I love Halloween. Its the one time of the year you can be any one you want to be.  I have to admit though sometimes people go over and beyond with Halloween. There are some neighbors around the corner that have some pretty scary houses.We have one or two decorations this year.  I always like to make some crafts during Halloween and we finally had some time to do them with Jaime. We bought about 2 pounds worth of construction paper and began to make some Halloween crafts. I went online and googled Halloween crafts for kids and so many images came up. It was such a fun little thing to do with the two of them:) Have you done any crafts with your children? I did some other crafts but they didnt come out so great.   This weekend I will be making some little Halloween treats for my students and for Megan's classmates. I think I am going to be tired at the end of the day but it will be worth it. I still have to find the last part to my costume but it's not go...

  This weekend was kind of uneventful and was a pretty low key. Jaime had to work a couple of those days, so Megan and I decided to spend the weekend at my mom and dads house. I went to class Saturday morning and found out I got a 90 on my Mid-term!! Woohoo! I worked really hard for that grade. I studies for 5 days straight and tested myself everyday to see what else I missed. So it was a really good morning so far. Afterwards I went to my moms because Megan had spent the night over.  We decided to go to the movies to watch Brave, Or as Megan calls it, "Red". She calls it "Red" because of her Red hair.I love that movie it's the cutest. We had seen it before but it was nice to see it again. Megan fell asleep the last 15 minutes of it. Megan LOVES the movie Hotel Transylvania and when we saw the cardboard characters at the movies Megan wanted to take a pictures with them. Megan has been asking for some new dolls almost every weekend. She's const...

Hello bloggers, I know I have not posted here in awhile. I'm honestly not keeping count how many days or weeks because geez life is just speeding, which I am not complaining but I have not been able to breath. I have said before that I can not wait till the end of November, when there is no more school till January. I will be reading books and catching up on some Netflix shows.  So I just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you all know what I have been up to. I will say though, we may be moving once again. I know, its terrible but this time we are looking for a house, not an apartment complex. The problem is actually finding the house. We just started two days ago and have not found a good one.We did find one, that is around the corner to my moms house, but the people have not answered their phone calls. For now we are just looking, by December we should have found something already. Sisters 20th Birthday Last weekend was my sisters 20th Birthday and we celebrated at Roadhou...

I am dead tired from a day of doing a lesson, fire alarms and observing. I am so tired...I think tired is an understatement though. Oh my god how I'm tired. This is just one full day...I can't even imagine doing this day in and day out.. I think it had more to do on the shoes I wore. Never again will I wear heel unless it's a Monday. I dont have much to blog about except that Im so exhausted. I will write about how my observation went with my field supervisor and how things are going to my mentor teachers another day. Here is a little pictures of Megan. We were doing some picture taking at home.

(Written 10/2/12)I watch the show Parenthood, and this past week there was an episode that made me think about the discussion I would have with Megan regarding about life. Such as race,gay marriage/love and other discussions. I also started to think about the kind of things I said I would never do that I do now. When I became a parent, I was so scared, as Im sure most of us were with our first child. I remember promising myself that I would do certain things, and that I would spend as much as I could with her so I would not miss a thing. I think one of the biggest things for me to teach her was to be a good person. I think I am a good person but that just me, I cant say that the man upstairs would say the same thing. What I mean is I dont steal, I would not tell horrible things to a complete stranger, I will always try to do the rights thing, i will not hurt someone to get further. I know who I am and I always believed being a good person earns more respect than a person who is mea...
